Gingerbread

Aries opened his eyes and found himself back in his wooden vessel. At first, he thought that it was because of his recent container that he felt as light as a feather. But when he became aware of his surroundings, he was alarmed.

He never had the chance to walk around the House of Twins. But he was certainly standing in one of its borders. A few feet away from his right was a huge statue of two identical people facing each other. Their arms were raised and their palms were touching each other. 

In front of him were Gust, Gale, and Jodien. Gale was anxious. Gust was upset. Jodien was excited despite the shallow cut in his neck. And the three of them were wielding their weapons.

"You're lying!" Gale yelled not at Aries but to the person behind him.

Cari was standing there, holding her bleeding right arm. There was frustration in her eyes.
