<b>RE: A New Fate for the Twins [Razgriz x Karameida x Serenity]</b><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 15px"><a class="link link--external" href="http://liangxinxin.deviantart.com/art/Qingyin-393181862" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Tsukiko Kimiko</a></span>​</div><br/>She watched her twin fill in the rest as well as move to his side and comfort him. She stayed where she was at the end of the bed. The shadows seemed to reach for and envelop her. When her twin was finished they waited, she was pleased that he didn't have a huge freakout nor did he seem to question them on who they are and where they came from and he didn't bombard them with questions. She hoped that he may just accept it and they could move on.<br/><br/>Then again, perhaps not.<br/><br/>Tsukiko let out a sigh and closed her eyes making a bid for her patience. After a moment she opened her eyes and stared at him for a long while. They had just told him a lot of things, most people would not have remained as calm. "<b>Your father did indeed try to bind us to him but he failed. We were never bound to him, had we been then the moment he died we would have been forced back inside the realm where we have been sealed for the gods know how long.</b>" she said frowning a little. "<b>We are in truth, bound to you.</b>" she said clenching her jaw a little. "<b>When we were betrayed and sealed away they knew that one day we would be unsealed. They sought a way to control us. They were unsuccessful for the most part but they did make sure that should we ever be freed we would require a tether to this realm. You are that tether, Mortimer.</b>" she said with a little sigh.<br/><br/>"<b>To be honest we were not one hundred percent sure how it would work. As my twin said, they misunderstood something and you ended up with the mark. If he had succeeded me and my twin would once again be thrown back into the realm of isolation. Before we even fully materialized we could sense those in the room and knew we could never be bound to them for they were steeped in darkness. You were the only one who was not and that is why we finished the contract.</b>" she said trailing off. "<b>Your life will only become more twisted as we continue together and for that I do apologize.</b>" she said. She fidgeted with her hands while she talked. "<b>But its as my twin says, if you remain locked away then this world will crumble to ruin. Mankind has taken all the work that we did in the past and unwound it and turned it into a Gordian knot.</b>" she said pursing her lips together in quiet contemplation. After a moment she spoke up "<b>Besides requiring you to move about your knowledge and status in general may well prove to be invaluable. We know basically what you know. We gained that knowledge and cemented the contract with you when I took blood from you. Had it not been such a dire situation we could have done so in a less dramatic way....</b>" she said trailing off. For a moment she fussed with her dress before looking back at her twin and their contractor. "<b>However this era is....strange. While we have your knowledge we do not have what it takes to move around in this world. You will help there.</b>" she said with a little nod as she thought about what she had learned thus far in regards to what females must learn. "<b>You people who belong to this era are so far removed from each other. The two sexes live in two completely different spheres. I was <i>not</i> expecting any of what I've had to go through since we arrived based on your memories.</b>" she muttered her eyebrow twitching in slight agitation when she thought over all the heavy clothing, corsets and training they'd had to endure so far.<br/><br/>"<b>I'll leave that topic for another day....</b>" Tsukiko said. If she talked about it too much at the moment things might turn ugly.<br/><br/>"<b>Basically, what it all comes down to, is you. Will you remain locked away in this chamber, surrounded by darkness? Or will you leave the shadows and step forward with us?</b>" she asked, her eyes intently staring into Mortimers own shadow-y and exhausted eyes.
