"You want to go and explore the forest?" My brother Theo asked me while we're eating our lunch inside our tree house. It is composed of a bread given to us by the Arch fairies, broth from the previous meal that brother cooked and a whole roast of chicken which is twice as big as the chicken that I had in my past life though I think it's really not called chicken, but for my sake we decided to call it chicken as it looks like one, just quite big.
"Yeah! I can finally walk and talk, shouldn't I now ekshplore the foresht? It ish no fair it's just you who can wander around" I said as I pout at the end.
"You just want to use the map that Ostara gave you, don't you" he said mockingly
I giggled in mischief, "Well, there's that too but I really want chu go!" said I
Theo sighed deeply, "Well I guess I can let you tag along with me when I gather some herbs and hunt smaller animals but do not wander around too much okay?" he said in a commanding tone
A gave him a bright and mischievous smile, "Okay! " I said
Theo gave me the 'I give up' look as he finishes his lunch. I giggled in response as I continue eating.
As we finished our lunch, Theo presented our dessert, it was on a cup and the liquid it held was in the shade of rose gold that shimmers with gold dust. I exclaimed, "Yay! Ambrosia! Theo I want ice! Ice! Pleashe! Ice!" I said pulling my brother's shirt. Ambrosia is one of the favorite dessert of the arch fairies. It has a taste of Milk, Salted caramel, vanilla and honey. This ambrosia is a nectar from the flower called Rozschella flower that only blooms near the vicinity of the crystal lake and on the peak of mount cuarts, one of the mountains collectively known as the three peaks because these tree mountains are close to one another creating a small mountain range. Mount cystein on the left, Mount cuarts on the middle and mount cresten on the right.
He rolled his eyes as he conjured small ice boxes for both our cup. I excitedly thanked him by kissing his cheeks and immediately drank the Ambrosia.
My eyes sparkled in delight, "Ahh ~~ tashte like paradise" I said as I continue drinking it.
Theo shook his head as he looked at me in defeat, "This girl, tell me just how old are you now? I feel like I'm babysitting a child" he complained pinching the bridge of his nose
I knotted my forehead as I glared at him, "Because you are!" I cried out
He snorted, "You are what? 28? No you already had your first birthday so you're 29. See I'm talking to an old lady but it feels like you're still a child"
I glared at him vehemently, "AN OLD LADY?! AN OLD LADY?! HOW DARE YOU! CAN'T YOU EVEN TELL I'M HAVING A DIFFICULCHY IN SPEAKING AND YOU---YOU" I shouted at him but stopped for a while as I tried to catch my breath
He looked at me bewildered, "A--no, wait -s-sorr---" he started
I cut his sentences as I started, "Hmp! If I'm old then what should I call you?! YOU WHO LIVED 36 YEARSH IN HISH FIRSHT LIFE AND 29 YEARSH ON HISH 2ND LIFE ADD 4 YEARSH FOR THISH LIFE! YOU'RE THE OLD ONE! AND BESHIDES AM I A BURDEN TO YOU? AM I BOJERING YOU TOO MUCH?! ARE YOU ALSO LIKE THEM?! I KNOW! I KNOW IM ALREADY AN ADULT! I KNOW BUT MY BRAIN WONT COOPERATE! IT HARD! " I breathed deeply, catching my breath as my vision started to blur because of tears trying to come out
Theo gently held my hand as he slowly embraced me, "No, no, I'm sorry" he started, "It's okay, you're not a burden, you can do whatever you want, forget your past life and live your childhood to the fullest" he whispered gently to my ears as he soothes me by caressing my hair and my back.
I cried silently, "Am I being too childish Theo?" I asked him, still in his arms
"It's okay because you're a child" he answered
"but I'm really not right, am I acting inappropriately?"I continued
"shh~ there isn't anyone nor a society to judge you if you're acting appropriately or not"
"Tsk, this is your fault" I complained
He laughed gently, "Yes, it's my fault, please forgive me" he said as he patted my back
"You've lived 3 lives and yet you still don't know that age is a taboo subject to a woman and to me" I stated as I broke his embrace and looked at him sternly.
He laughed softly as he smiled at me, "I tend to forget about that" he answered and gave me a peck of kiss on my forehead, "Am I forgiven?" he asked
"hmm" I started as I acted like I was contemplating my decision
"Eh? Still not enough?" he asked as he kissed my left cheeks
"Ah! Brother no!" I protested as I defended myself from his kisses
He giggled, "I'm so sad, the power of my kisses aren't enough already... Don't grow quickly Vie" he said as he landed another kiss on my left cheeks
"Brother!"
He laughed as he started attacking me with his kisses and me defending myself, a minute later.
"Okay! Okay! Forgiven! Shtop!" I said laughing while catching my breath
He laughed, "See! The power of my kisses still prevails!" he exclaimed which sent us to a fit of laughter.
"Jeez" I commented while still laughing
"Can you just imagine if shomeone shaw ush and shee how weird our shituation ish" I said while still calming myself down
"Vie, we've been weird since we were born" he pointed out
"Well... That's true" said I as the two of us continued laughing.
After that, Theo started collecting the wooden plates on the table and started washing them on the sink that we have on our house. He's using a block of wood as his platform so that he can reach the sink and using the water in the wooden pail at the top of the counter beside the sink, he started washing the dishes.
"By the way, why don't you explain to me the cheat ability you got when you were reincarnated" Theo asked
"Well..." I started explaining to him the ability that I got when I was reborn into this world and there we started our discussion.
I explained to him that I can access information available to google that is why if I want to know something, I can just type it to the semi-transparent screen that appear before me whenever I say 'Search'. When I was talking about this ability, I discovered that it seems his 2nd past life and my last life occurred around the same time/era as he is also aware of google, social media and other technologies available on the 21st century. He then explained his cheat ability given to him. He has a what we call an 'online shop' where he can access and buy different things at a certain price. The currency used by his shop are gold coins and cerulean crystals. Unfortunately we don't have any gold coins available in our territory but cerulean crystals can be found on the Selie court and we can sometimes be given those crystals by Litha, the arch fairy of Fire and Mabon, the arch fairy of Light and Electricity because they're the one who usually collects crystals and stones used by higher fairies in their rituals and spells. Theo doesn't use much of the shop but he did buy us some necessities for our daily lives such as soap, shampoo, comb, pillow, mattresses and the clothes that we usually wear because unfortunately the fairies aren't really keen on making clothes for us. Right now he is wearing a khaki short, a shirt made of cotton and a military boots. I am also wearing similar clothing to him and a small leather boots that fit on my little feet. I remember the story of my brother. He told me that for 2 weeks after he was born, he had been naked because clothes for babies aren't available. Thank the gods for Litha's pity and made clothes for him but it took her 4 days to make one. I'm really grateful because when I was born, my brother was there to take care of me and haven't experienced the nakedness he felt. Just imagine the cold breeze at night --- ugh.
Praise my brother! Hooray!
In addition, the two of us has the same 'inventory' ability. This ability was the one he usually make use of whenever he gather herbs or hunts animals though in my case, I haven't used it yet. This ability, as what the name suggest acts as a dimensional storage room/inventory and we don't know just how much the limit of this storage has. Although, whenever he put something on the inventory, these items were always being organized/arranged to boxes seen on the semi-transparent screen and when he wants to pull out some things, he just need to click the item shown on the screen and it'll appear.
"hmm, that's quite interesting" my brother commented as he placed the utensils on the wooden rack given to us by Beltane, the arch fairy of Earth and let them dry naturally. He then wiped his hand on his clothes and sat beside me.
"right?!" I exclaimed "But Theo, have you had special abilichy when you were reincarnated in your 2nd life?" I inquired
"Well, no. I actually didn't remember my past life as I was living by second life though looking at it now, my interest with military might be the influence of my first life." he replied
I gawked at him, "You didn't know that you've been reincarnated? " I asked him in surprise
He flicked my forehead lightly, "Silly, shouldn't that be the normal case scenario? Not remembering that you've had past lives? It's only now that I remember both my previous lives" He answered
"Oh! Yeah, my bad" I giggled
