Chapter 2 - Chapter 2, The return to Reai

My chest started to squeeze, feeling tighter and tighter tighter as if my lungs were being suppressed by a

corset that's far too tight, making it feel almost bone crushing because it had been worn for far too long.

My hands shaking as if they had a vibration mode wouldn't even surprise me if they are the reason that

earthquake happened only minutes before, although that's impossible. My gaze finally looking up to see 3

figures standing tall, but i only recognize 2 out of the 3, The tallest seems to be roughly 5.8 to 5.9, wearing

a long sleeved white blouse tucked into a pair of white wide legged pants with a black belt with the grundi

brand and a stylish pair of open toed grundi branded heels. The outfit fits her rounded face and vibrant

blue eyes, and her blonde short bob cut which seems to be layered. Her nose sharp whilst her lips

downturned in shape they seem to ooze dominance and power and there's no doubt in my mind "Iris' 'I

mumble. Looking next to her, a girl no more than 5.5ft has piercing ocean blue eyes staring at me in an

amused look and her plump lips curved in a pure smile. She's wearing blush coloured flats that go

amazing with the baby coloured floral printed strapless dress that made all her figures look perfect

including her perfect brown curls that sat just below her shoulders. "I'm so grateful you all got here so

safely. I'm Erena '' she giggles in a high pitched voice almost in the same tone of a songbird, reminding me

merely of nails on a chalkboard, how seriously annoying. I look at the last girl she's 5.6 her hairs been

pulled into a messy bun and from the looks of it she's dyed her hair green and blue, her eyes a beautiful

emerald eyes,her face expression just screams enraged and annoyed, her figure is both slimmed yet curved

and her lips full with a round button nose and freckles that are spread across her cheeks. Her blue washed

jeans hugged her legs perfectly yet she wore an oversized men's shirt that hid her figure and a pair of

brown ugg boots. Her arms filled and a smile spread across her lips ``Atlas" i smile. "I almost forgot I had

sisters let alone a twin sister, it truly is a shame '' Atlas laughed with a sigh attached to the end of her

sentence before she stepped forward only for her left palm to make contact with my right check sending

my head to to move and my eyes to roll shortly followed by a slap sound. The stinging sensation filled my

right cheek and a slight numbness followed by a metallic like taste to fill my mouth before spitting onto

the ground to see a bright red substance, blood. "I deserved that" i nod as i turn to look at her once more

but this time her facial expression has changed into a sad smile and her eyes seem to have glossed over

slightly but before i could react she wrap her thin arms around my neck along side placing her head onto

my left shoulder all whilst rocking us side to side before taking a deep breath only to start whispering into

my left ear ever so softly "I forgive you, I didn't understand you or your actions back than but after being

in the same situation as you after living amongst the earthings i do, i truly understand you now". Atlas

draws in another breath that tickles the skin on my neck only to be followed by another deep breath as

she abruptly stops rocking us and pulls back drastically to look me in the eyes with her perfectly round

emerald eyes that resemble jewels but she leaves her soft hands on top of both my shoulders. ``I get that

everything that happened was not your fault and that you probably contemplated how to tell me and i

know for a fact i did not help the situation in the slightest, i could have i generally could have but i didnt i

mean when you told me rudo was cheating on me with lateshi it hurt i mean it felt like all the air in my

lungs was sucked out of me like i had been winded but what hurt me more was that both iris and you

knew you both knew, granted id expect it from Iris because conflict isnt her strong suit but you, your

betrayal hurt a whole lot more because i never thought you'd hurt me let alone betray me, your my twin

sister my other half the part of myself that makes me whole and you didn't tell me and you knew about

everything, you were there when anything in my life happened and you still hide there betrayal from meuntil the very last moment, i'm not sure if it was the guilt that ate at you focing you to confess but i dont

care i'm simply grateful you told me i was a little relieved to know that you were suffering from it i still am

i mean it hurt sure it was like a pain i've never experienced like a wave crushing over me causing me to go

around in circles and to get cut my rocks with the afterburn of salty water straight after that wouldnt stop

for years, from now on if anything happens tell me for the love of god you tell me please" Atlas cried only

loud enough for the both of us to hear but her cry was tangled with devastation, betrayal, hurt, love and

understanding as if they were all simply one emotion. My stomach turned almost making me want to

puke again, tears welled up in my eyes, a lump formed in my throat making it hard to swallow let alone

breathe as I finally looked her in her eyes. My heart beat so loud I thought it'd come out of my chest or

that maybe she could hear it from where she stood, before taking a step back and nodding my head

rapidly like a bobble head. I drew in a deep breath trying to help the sick feeling left in my stomach from

shaking my head, only to realize I had been holding my breath, for the first time in years i was face to face

with my loved ones and not simply seeing a picture of them on my phone or a billboard, they are my

family and for the first time in god probably doesn't even know how long it's been since we've all been in

the same place together let alone talking to each other. "you both have become so gorgeous, atlas you

resemble our mother more and more than when we last saw each other and you Siri truly does resemble

the goddess of Themis that is in earthling history' ' my voice wavers and trembles as i try so hard not to

cry with every word i say. Reaching my right arm out to Atlas to wipe the tears that have slowly started to

stream down her face for the first time and this time I will forever remember it and I won't ever let anyone

hurt her again, not even me. My heart has long lost the resolve that I once had and the reasoning of what

I had done and why. Maybe because I barely remember what happened years ago or maybe because I

simply no longer have the energy to hold onto resentment, misunderstanding and anger. I finally bring

my left hand back to wipe the tears off of my own face before both atlas and I look back to see Iris who

has a smile across her face that shows her relief and the stranger who stood only a few feet behind her.

"Ahem As i was saying i'm Erena, i'm the one who brought you here I just couldn't help myself bringing

you here i mean, I'm so excited to meet all of the wise leader the Arc kings 3 daughters and i mean

obviously i'm more excited to meet the one and only Tainted sister who happen to be the very last SirreX's

to exist which are also you guys sorry am i rambling of course i'm rambling i mean i'm in front i mean i'm

really in front of you, all of you, real living and breathing legends'' The short brunette squealed whilst

waving her arms around like a toddler when they're explaining they made a new friend all whilst her eyes

wonder from Iris to Atlas to me. I wonder how she's so nonchalant and unfazed after making us come

here but then again I wouldn't be afraid of us either since we have no magic and haven't had magic since

our banishment. "Did she say that were Legends as in urban legends or myths as in in the past tense as in

fucking history " Iris questioned with anger that rings throughout the air almost causing a chill in the soft

breeze as she speaks through her tightly gritted teeth, her left eyebrow has cocked itself up causing her

face to scrunch ever so slightly leaving a face as if saying i dare you to say we are only great in history. Iris

has always had 3 big hates and the first was losing, 2nd is affecting her ego and lastly being a total

perfectionist, so it's no big surprise she'd be hurt being called a past legend and with what the small

brunette has said would be like a direct hit to her ego, but it also has its upside since she will most

definitely do anything and everything until others never forget her name and she will never be history

again nor will she ever let anyone ever and i mean it to ever look down upon her again. "I did in fact say

legends you have been gone a while" Erena mumbles obviously not sensing Irisi's hospitality towards her

that wavers in the air and the danger she's clearly putting herself into as she continues to show off her

perfect toothy grin that goes from ear to ear. "I mean come on Sunniva won the great war of phoenix by

herself and Atlas even denied fate by not getting married to the 13th kingdom also known as the Way

kingdoms 5th prince and killing him and you Iris created a whole new way of peace by creating a schooland and lets not forget you all are behind the great destruction and the greatest downfall of all time to the

13th kingdom" Erena squealed once again but this time she jumps up and down like a rabbit while

clapping her hands like a seal as if she's meeting her favorite band for the first time or is she doing star

jumps would that explain her actions better god knows i've never met someone this enthusiastic to meet

me before. honestly who even cares because to me she looks stupid almost like a cat on steroids, a real

sight to behold I laugh. "That's a blast of the past. I can't even remember the last time someone called me

Sunniva." I spat bitterly "Call me V '' i continued with an obviously irritated expression that sprawled

along my face. "Of Course they'll get the stories wrong but it's no secret that we have been gone a couple

of centuries give or take and it is also true that the last time i was called Atlas was a while ago so let me

introduce myself in Sal,'' Atlas now known as Sal laughs with a knowing look on her face as a light twinkle

appears in her eyes as she pats Iris on the back to bring her some sort of comfort "Siri'' Iris whispers

followed by a gloomy sigh showing her defeat as she looks up "Call me Siri'' Iris repeats with an even more

defeated look than her sigh and who now has become Siri. "It's nice to meet you all. As I've said, I'm

Erena. I am the one who has brought you back to Resi at the 12 king's request. Wait. Did you say

centuries? you have been gone for eons to be more precise 20 eons' ' Erena starts to say with a smile than

coughs before looking down and mumbling after introducing herself. "We were only gone for 5 centuries.

I mean obviously we would, we were the ones banished and not you" Siri laughs with a cocky grin to

match her tone followed by a knowing look saying she's right and Erena is wrong whilst pointing her

hands at sal and I than herself. "I mean" i cough as if trying to clear my throat "We would have at least

tried to get back" Sal scoffs as if amused by the whole situation as her arms slowly start to fold on top of

each other to show clear dominance. My face has always shown what I'm thinking, It's my biggest flaw

and downfall. My mother said it was one of the many reasons she loved me but I hated it and I still do

especially in situations like this. I could feel my eyebrows furrow and lips press into each other all whilst

my forehead made lines crease and increased my age causing Siri and Sal to stare at me so I slowly look up

towards the sky taking in the purple haze above us with splashes of pink spread across looking almost like

a canvas with glued on white cotton like clouds except the view is real and moving unlike a canvas,thats

shows it's only early morning. "Or maybe we are wrong this time" Siri whispers, a silence finally comes

among us and all that can be heard is the soft wind that brushes along our skin. They must be taking in

the sky like i am but this silence is awkward and deafening especially for people who i know are rarely

quiet, "Did they ever figure out how to make that cloud puff using clouds and that rainbow cake with

actual rainbow" Sal laughs breaking the silence before the sound of hunger growls from her stomach

reminding me of how excited she was they would find a way to create such sweets followed by both Siri

and its laughter. "Did my building for the school get approved and go accordingly to how i planned and

envisioned becoming a neutral land where all can learn freely" Siri questions as worry finally washed over

in her voice probably causing her face to become white like a sheet as if she saw a ghost for the first time

in her life and the image alone has me smirk in relief as she hasn't changed one bit, "Did all the soldiers in

battle get the send off they deserve" i whisper ever so softly turning my head back to the girls who's now

staring directly at me. "Yes they have made many foods from nature, yes they did get approved and built

and everything went as planned its called Tessornor and no there was no send off the land was closed and

become forbidden" Erena says as sweetly yet low as possible "I know i was supposed to wait until

father-in-law told you but Iris and I are to be wed after graduation and we are all to become family soon"

Erena excitedly explained as she keeps up her cheerful tune and smile on her face maybe trying to change

the sour mood i've left. Erena slowly started to look at the ground trying to break the awkward silence or

maybe just to hide her face as her cheeks became flushed in a lush rose like color. "I always knew Siri

would become a prostitute or perhaps be a child lover but now i know she both a child lover who's been

paid for sex for the rest of her life" Sal blurted as she started to laugh, as my eyes locked with Siri whoseface was frozen in place with horror plastered on it i couldn't help but burst into laughter as well. Raising

my right arm and pointing my pointer finger towards her before choking out "Better lock up your kids

she likes em young". Causing Siri's face to go a colour of gray almost similar to the dead before she

pretends to fall over whilst clutching her heart an over exaggeration in the making, tears forming in all of

our eyes as our laughter kept on coming like a volcano eruption that caused a total fit of giggles with no

sign of stopping almost as if we were children playing fart jokes on the adults. "I'm not a child. I'm in my

19th eon" Erena yells in a fit of rage causing all of us to stop only for our laughter to come twice as hard

making all three of us fall to the ground in laughter. Taking a deep breath and looking up at Erena whose

face has distorted in anger and embarrassment. you see in our world an eon is the equivalent to a year for

those on earth making Erena 19 and siri followed by Sal and I would be 21. "Still a baby" Siri finally spoke

after composing herself, causing my thought to break and snap me back to reality as Siri shrugs her

shoulders up and with a slight roll when they came back down giving off the vibe of no one asked and no

one cares. "Do any of you have any more questions for this child, grandma's" Erena mocked with folded

arms that now cover her breast to try and make them look bigger in a subtle yet seductive way causing

Siri's eye to give her a once over that left a hungry glow in her eyes only to disappear just as quickly. My

eyes finally left Siri to look at sal who didn't seem impressed in the slightest before her eyes met me

before she rolled them and smiled and in union Siri, sal and i all agreed although silent before we all

spoke incense and said "we do". Both Sal and Siri turned their heads to look at me, giving me the okay to

ask first "Who are Sirrex" I question because since Erena said SirreX sisters had me asking myself who

they are? What have they done to get a name like that? When did the Arc king have more kids? And why

would erena mention them to us? Erena instantly burst out in laughter as if I had just asked her the

dumbest question. "You guys are SirreX" Erena smiled as she started to scan my face and explain " After

your banishment the 12 kingdom rulers including your father the 5th king of the Atrc kingdom had

searched every kingdom to find others like you and found out you were the only ones of your kind. Your

father did not have any other kids and every time he tried they mysteriously died at birth so the rulers of

the 12 kingdoms decided to call your species SirreX after doing an investigation to find out what you were

hence sirreX. All I know is that you are made of 3 parts but in total for your species you have a total of 7

options but your options are chosen by you and how you react or grow. The parts that make you are either

Sirren, Phoenix, Basilisk, dragon, unicorn and hellhound". "So were technically gods in a way" Iris smiled

nodding her head in approval almost showing her happiness.
