after avon enterd his room and shut his door hard he went to the bathroom
he turned on the water and washed his face and then looked up to the mirror looking at himself thinking about minerva
he closed his eyes and start imagining her ....
but instead of imagining the succubus girl he imagined his own sister ...
he opened his eyes and saw himself in a place he is not familiar of a place with nothing but a complete white empty space ..
he looked around but saw nothing ... then he hears a familiar voice calling his name
a small but gentle voice
avon looked around to see who is calling him ... but saw nothing
the gentle voice was echoing through the entire place
avon stood there silent ... not knowing what to say
he closed his eyes for a moment ....
moments later the echoing vanished
he opened his eyes slowly and what he saw made his eyes widened
he looked sad ....
the one who stood before him .... was his sister ... and she looked exactly the same one from her last day
she looked at him proudly and smiling ...
avon said while stutering "m....m.....sis....big...."
he looked away from her cant bare to look at his own sister ...
minerva raised her hands to his face ... and held his left side
a gentle yet soft touch ... she moved his head to see him better
avon was about to tear up ...
minerva said in gentle voice "long time no see bro !"
avon said confused "b.bro ?"
minerva said "yes bro ... is it bothering you ?"
avon said "n..no anything that came from you never bothered me dont worry"
minerva said surprised "wow .... grown up i see , how old are you now ?"
avon said hasitated "right now i am the same age .... as you are"
minerva was taken by shock when she heared this ...
she said "25 ... i see , and sara ?"
avon said "22 ... but it doesnt matter ..because we...." (minerva interrupted him )
minerva said "because you are immortal ...."
avon was shocked and surprised ... he asked "how ??? how did you know that ?"
minerva looked at him a sharp look and said "because you were supposed to be 35 not 25 ... what ?? did you take your big sister as stupid , i know what you done and i am not blaming you either"
avon looked confused for a moment ... he felt he is not imagining this .... she felt so real to him
avon held her hands and slowly feeling their warmth
avon said "i am sorry .... had no other choice , but that doesnt mean i will forget about sara ... my mission never changed ever since that day"
minerva said "so how was it ?"
avon didnk know what is she talking about
avon said "how was what ?"
minerva poked his shoulder and said "you know ... the blood ???" ( she Giggles)
avon said "ohh" not surprised by the question yet he tried to remember if helens blood had any taste
avon said "it was ... how can i put it .... like an apple juice and it doesnt smell or rot "
minerva nods ..
avon still thinks she is mad that he become half succubus himself
he said "mini please ... you have to understand ( held her hand ) , i had no choice , to ensure the future of our race and to ensure sara saftey i had to do it ... otherwise it would've taken me a lifetime to be what i am planning to be"
minerva was looking at avon hands holding her .. then she put the other hand on top of them in gentle way and said cheerfully 'like i said ... i am not blaming you for what happened and i dont need to remind you what not to do right little bro ?"
avon said "minerva .... i have a question ..."
minerva already knows what the question is but she wanted to hear from him in his own voice
minerva said "and what that question might be ?"
avon asked "i believe you already know what i am going to ask but here is the question .... why do you feel ... so real ?"
minerva eyes widened as she wasnt inticipating this kind of question she thought he was going to ask something else
minerva said "i thought you already knew about it ... or did you ?"
avon said "it was a theory but i want to hear it from you I want to see if its true or not ... I want to hear it with your own voice"
Minerva looked down she felt a sense of sadness
She said "yes ... I am real"
Avon closed his eyes trying to hide his teary eyes as wave of emotions coming through his heart nonstop
His hands start shaking rapidly
Minerva noticed that as she pulled him closer to her and huged him then tightened her hands around Avon
She said "don't ..... Hold it down ... Let it go .... Let it out"
Then Avon start crying and moaning in sadness Minerva eyes Also start to tear up a bit
Minerva said "crying is not for the weak but for those who held it for too long and couldn't bare the burden anymore , (got close to his ears ) it what makes us humans"
Avon kept crying and holding her tight then moments passed he calmed Down a bit
He backed away as Minerva was hugging the entire time she also backed off a little
She said calmly "better now ?"
Avon nods to get and said "y-yeah"
Avon asked her "h-how ???"
Minerva closed her eyes and put her for head into his and waves of memories flew to his to that specific moment when he put his forhead into hers back in the royal village
Minerva said "that moment a fragment of my soul went inside you .... You now bear my soul and I will forever gonna be with you and with Sara for all eternity"
Avon eyes widened and felt shocked mix with surprise expression
Avon said "so in the end I did save you ..."
Minerva smiled and said "you indeed did and Sara also did her part with mother"
Avon said "why did this happens ? We weren't supposed to use magic are we ?"
Minerva said "its not magic dear brother , if I explain it to you , you end up being confused with more questions and to make this simple I would suggest you to travel to Arcadon the city of champions and there you may find your answers "
Avon said "arcadon ?? why ?"
minerva said "there you will prove yourself infront of the world"
avon said "and how do you want me to prove myself ?"
minerva said "by becoming a champion ... i would suggest you to ask lady aria she might know more then i "
avon looked at her confused when she said lady aria
avon said "wait you know her ?"
minerva chuckled and said "who doesnt ...i want you to ask her because my knowlege about the city is a bit old and the city as far as i know changed a lot"
He looked at Minerva a look of hope and excitement he was about to say something but Minerva stopped him and said to him "no need to say it out loud dear brother"
Avon said "sure ... But can't you give me a small explanation at least .. You know for boosting moral"
She chuckled and said "sure but only the tip of the ice birg OK ? , it is what made us worthy descendants of the avalonia emperia
and the household of von astratus"
Avon nods to her and said "that enough for me .... Thanks sister"
He got up and Minerva as well a small gate opened behind him leading to reality
Minerva said "looks like someone is calling for you brother ... Our time is up"
He looked back in excitement he looked back one more time on Minerva and hugged her
He said "will I ever see you again ? No is there a chance to lose your fragment ?"
She said calmly while patting his head "no you do not need to worry ... As long as you are alive I will be alive too .. And whenever you want to see just imagine me in front of you and I will appear to help you"
Avon said "good to hear ... Goodbye sister"
Minerva waved at him as avon was slowly walking towards ft he gates
And once he walked through the gates he opened his eyes and he was in the same spot in the bathroom and looking to the mirror
He looked in himself and he felt energetic and sense of calm and peace knowing his sister and mother are alive ... Fragment of them are alive inside them
As someone was calling him from outside the door asking if he Is okey
And it was arcadius
Avon said "come on in"
Arcadius came inside while holding a cup of chocolate
Avon said "what are you drinking ?"
Arcadius said "oh this ?? It aint for me itss for you"
Avon said "really ?? How nice of you"
Arcadius said "ohhh you flatter me"
Avon saw it dark with a wonderful smell
He looked at Arcadias surprised and said "chocolate ???"
Arcadius nods to him
Avon said "where the hell did you get it ?"
Arcadius said "saw it on the shelfs , there's plenty of it"
avon took a sip of it and he enjoyed it the taste itself was new to him
avon looked at the cup and start observing it
arcadius burst from laughing he said "losing your mind too early i see"
avon said "after taking a sip i am afraid its too late now"
arcadius said "no going back now ayy ?"
avon nods while arcadius laughing
then avon said "thanks brother ... i guess i needed this"
arcadius said "you are most welcome bro"
avon then asked "where is sara?"
arcadius said "out there playing chess with verna"
avon said "i need to talk to her about something its urgent ...."
avon walked to the door but acadius stopped him
arcadius said "why ? no i know you are angry about minerva so do i but now its not the time to ...."
he got intteruppted by avon
avon said in excitment "i spoke to her ...!!!"
acadius looked at him confused
he said "to .... her ???"
avon said "yes her !!!!"
arcadius said "who is her again ?"
avon said "to my big sister ...."
arcadius put his hand on avon head to check on his tempeture
and said "are you ok brother do you have a feaver ?"
avon said "no i really did speak to her ..."
arcadius saw the light in avon eyes and knew he was speaking the truth since for 25 years this light was barley been seen only thanks to his sister sara thats what kept him sane all these years
she was the reason avon kept going forward
god knows what avon would've done if he snapped
arcadius said "a dream ?"
avon said "no .. it was her .. the real her ... somehow a fragment of her soul survived"
arcadius was surprised that this was a thing he looked happy for avon as if his own little sister was alive
arcadius said "h - how ??"
avon said "2 days ago when we got into the villege we went to our home ... and my mother and sister were still there , the same as the day i left them so i got close to her corpse and helf her head in my hands and the moment i put my head into hers i felt something ... like i was somewhere else ... and she was calling me .."
arcadius was about to tear for how happy he is
arcadius said "i....i dont know what to say brother ..... this will make sara happy for sure ..."
avon noded
but before he leaves avon turned around and walked slowly to his bed
he asked arcadius "before i tell her i have a question for you bro"
he said "sure anything bro"
avon said "it wont be a pleasent question you know"
arcadius laughed and said "till now there was nothing pleasent from you"
avon asked him "do you have a sister ?"
arcadius was surprised by the question as arcadius never told avon about his family
arcadius said "well that was ... out of nowhere "
avon looked upset he said "if it bothers you then i apologize but the thing is ... i never asked you about your family , i only know you ..."
Arcadius spaced out for a moment then looked at Avon and said "I believe you already know about my sector so no need to talk about that .... Long story short just like you and Sara I used to have a little sister , and 3 big brothers ... She the attack accord 2 of my brothers stayed to protect me while my the 3rd brother rushed to my little sister ... After that night I only saw my 2 brothers who protected me on pool of blood I din know what happened to my 3rd brother or sister back then..."
Arcadius walked to the mirror looked at himself and continued "and she we got back to the village me and vernara went to our sectors to see what left .... I entered my home and surprisingly everything remains the same ... As if time stopped completely on that day , my brothers who protected me were on ground but the difference is they are skeletons but the pool of blood remains , that moment I was so hesitant to go to my little sister room .... But I knew if it was you , you would've done it for Sara so I did ... I go to my little sister room and entered her while my eyes closed ..."
Arcadius suddenly stopped and looked at the ground for a moment
Arcadius continue "she wasn't there ... No blood no bodies nothing .... Instead there was a massive hole in the wall .... So I assume somebody took them ... At that moment I knew ...."
Avon said "knew what ?"
Arcadius said "that I failed as her big brother .... I failed my sister , every time I see you and Sara I always imagined myself And my sister ..."
Avon asked "what's her name ??"
Arcadius said "Lucy"
Avon walked towards arcadius and gently put his hand on his left shoulder while looking sad at him
He said "Lucy ..... I will remember that name your sister is my sister and if anything happened to her then freat not I will rain hell apon them all"
Arcadius said sarcastically "you and what army ??"
Then they both laughed
Arcadius said "thanks Avon but if we found her and if I happened bro know something happened to her I am the one who will open the gates of hell apon them .... I promise if it was non humans , demons whatever their race is ... I will remove them from the face of the erath and people in the future will say there used to be people called non humans "
Avon saw determination in arcadius eyes And smiled to that
Arcadius saw the smile and knew avon will forever back him up
Arcadius said "Sara Down stairs ... I will go to the library .."
Avon said "don't wanna missing out on a thing ey ?"
Arcadius said I'm serious voice "the sooner we learn everything the better .."
Avon said to him "before you go to the library I want you to hear this as well alongside them"
Arcadius nods to him and they both walked towards the door
Avon opened the door arcadius walked first and said "ladies first huh ?? How polite"
They then walked downstairs and saw Sara and vernara playing chess ...
Avon walked slowly to them excited to tell them everything
