Lights flickered, while doors were slammed shut, children were told to be quiet.
All because of the monster who murdered two city guards.
And where was this monster?
Walking through the streets a free man.
"Oh there you are Towin" Serena gasped as she caught a hold of Towin's shoulder.
And as Towin shrugged his sister's hand away Serena began to talk "You know you shouldn't be out this late two guards were just attacked but I'm sure dad will be happy, ughh I wish he could just start living for us instead of this city" Serena kicked a pebble across the icy pavement.
"You really think he'll be happy?" Towin ignored his sister's feelings finally seeking his own identity.
"Well yeah but that's not the point" Serena's guard rose without her even noticing.
And as meteorite sprung out from the floor and almost into her throat it was lucky for her that it did, as Serena smashed the tentacle with an open palm.
"Well Eron's gratitude would be too little too late now" Towin formed two tentacles out of meteorite ready to kill his own sister.
Both tentacles sprung towards Serena who leapt across the surface in an effort to dodge her brother's attacks.
"Who do you think attacked those guards, oh wait I mean killed those guards" Towin's tentacle grasped a hold of Serena's ankle.
"Oh and before you ask why at first it was so father would finally hear me when I speak but afterwards someone else heard me and they gave me my voice".
"Okay brother I know Eron is a shitty dad but our mother did everything she could for us" Serena poured life energy into her ankle healing it while also causing the tentacle to explode.
"Maybe Kori did for you but I don't even exist in their minds, they are both either too busy for me or too proud of you to give a shit about me" Towin created eight tentacles made purely out of meteorite.
Both siblings stood stuck in a stand off and as Towin made the first mode Serena activated a technique, creating eight tentacles of her own.
All of the tentacles smashed against each other, forcing doors to fly open, causing the number of fighters to grow.
"Hey what are you doing out there" an elderly Rinock called out, soon to be followed by numerous other Rinocks.
And as the number of fighters had increased so did the bloodshed.
An uncountable amount of rocks flew across the cramped street.
And with each rock thrown a civilian was injured.
But in the middle the siblings still fought without interruption.
Their techniques breaking apart swing after swing up until their swings weren't tentacles but their fists.
"Alright enough is enough stop this brawl now!" a civilian woman cried out as she smashed her hand against a slab of meteorite causing everyone's ears to ring.
But this only caused everyone to become more irritated.
And just as the fighting started again Serena took this chance and knocked Towin out in one final swing to the head.
Dragging her brother from the brawl and into an empty alleyway Serena awaited patiently for her brother to wake up.
And once he did they talked like siblings for the first time in what seemed to be forever.
"So you talked to someone who made you feel heard and before you say it you're right I don't understand but I know that if you give them a second chance things could change so Towin please give them another chance to make it up to you" Serena pleaded with all the energy she had left.
"Not a chance they had fifteen years to listen to me and don't you dare think your free of my hate Serena your half of the reason they don't know I exist" Towin began to step back out into the once crowded street.
"I won't just stand by and let you hurt our parents Towin" Serena clutched her dangling arm but as she spoke Towin had vanished...
