Dream

Myles stares at Kaelen blankly, shocked and confused, memories rushing into his head from a past, alien to him and then finally, he stutters out, "Ph.. Phase 2? That... that means this is a different planet?" Kaelen smiles, "Not quite, this is a parallel earth." She waits for Myles to absorb the information before sitting by his side. Lia reacts protectively of him, she gestures telling her to relax. She continues, "You see long ago, well, according to to human time lines there once existed a civilization which at the time had the status quo of interdimensional living." Lia frowned a little as if expecting something bad but her face showed sympathy. "They were peaceful creatures and consisted of offspring of what they described as fallen angels..." Myles interrupted, "So, demons?" Kaelen smiled, "Yes, exactly that... but they were anything but what you think of them." She looked away from Myles and stared into space and said softly, "They wanted only peace and nothing more and to one day face their punishment, but hoped that their children wouldn't also pay for their mistakes." She wipes a tear from her face and continues, "So, they tried to help others. Beings in the universe who still remember their good deeds call that time, 'The Great Concurrence'."

She continues, "It was a time of great intercultural exchange and solution to allot of problems that came with mortality." She put her hand together and fidgeting with her fingers. "But.... some didn't think so." She said with anger rising in her voice. " They saw the children and the angels as a threat, so they hunted them down like animals. The worst part..." she clenched her fingers so hard and she bled, "They used the same technology given to them and turned them into weapons.... the angels, they.... they never fought back." At this point she is crying. Lia urges her to stop talking but she insists. With a pained voice, "They accepted their fate and were massacred." Myles didn't know how to react but his body moved before he could think, he holds her hand as if telling her she had his support, she smiled. She looks at Lia, who has an obviously forced smile on her face. 

Kaelen laughed, "You are so cute lil sis." She looks at Myles and smiles. Myles oblivious to what she meant by looking at him after making that statement just sat there confused. She then continues as she gently removes Myles' hand "The children on the other hand could have fought but instead we chose to run, and we settled here, but of course, we took our parents legacies with us." Myles looked down had a soft sad smile on his face.IT was a sad smile as if he understood something. Kaelen made him face her pulling his chin up, "Not all hope has been lost yet, I know by now, you have probably realized your race had something to do with it, and you show regret. That proves my point." She then continues, "We vowed to finish what our parents started though, but we were divided on that, some wanted revenge..... so the dark core was born, embracing the stigma of demon kin, their entire existence, dedicated to removing your mortal kind from the universe." She smiled, got up from the bed and walked towards the hole in the wall. "You had it coming, but we couldn't just watch you die, that will just make us the evil beings you already saw us as. "She closes her eyes and a soft smile creeps up on her face as she puts her right hand at the centre of her chest. " So we built a system of interdimensional gates to keep your ill seeking enemies away, and also we teach some of you we deem worthy how to use this energy we call 'criole'." She puts out her right hand and suddenly it is covered in flames, there are also ice spikes flying around it, she disappears and appears next to him, "You, my friend are quite odd, you possess criole without even knowing about its existence."

Myles shocked and confused pulls back from her and Lia simultaneously embraces him, "What are you talking about, I can't do any of that." She stands up abruptly and walks majestically with her hand behind her back showing her playful nature once again. "How, my friend do you think you wound up here and even more so, survive the creatures that you see in your memories, mind you, you aren't the only kind to fear death." She gestures to a small scar hidden on top of Lia's chest, just below her neck. Myles shocked, "You mean, those things are a threat to you too?" Kaelen laughs as Lia heals her scar, "Hardly, but if they can scratch us imagine what they could do to a normal human or rather mortal." Myles asks, "What do you mean by 'normal mortal', and if you could die doesn't that make you mortal? " Kaelen floats, crosses her legs and looks back to the confused Myles, "Do you really think they would have stopped the hunt on only our parents? You see, our birth gave us the gift of just life the condition of death doesn't apply to us. You can kill and destroy our bodies but u can not kill what we really are, there is only one who can, and he has chosen not to." She turns over and flies in closer to him with her face inches away from his, Lia pushes her away, she giggles. " You are something else, I am pretty sure you can still die but it'll take a lot to kill you. I even doubt if decapitation would do it." She cackles, as she flies through the hole in the wall. Myles just sits there questioning reality. He feels overwhelmed by this ridiculous situation he has found himself in. The only explanation he has is that he is probably having a coma dream, but he felt it was real. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a beautiful pair of gentle arms rested on his chest, he noticed that there was a black ring on one of her fingers, it was her ring finger. He realized he had a similar one on his. He tried to jump out of her embrace but she was too strong. He looked up and saw the false smile on her face, Lia was furious, she begun. "So darling, did you have fun flirting with my older sister?" Just then Myles remembered something from the two months prior, as it turns out, the pair were in some kind of relationship, Myles smiled pleadingly she smiled back at him, but her smile was rather unsettling because she looked pissed off. Myles resigned to his fate and closed his eyes in resignation. Lia begun to talk.

Contrast to her build and rather mature and slightly burly physique, her cute light, warm and rich voice calmed the tense Myles, "My sister likes to tease, you should know that.... So you don't remember?" She asked with a hint of sulking in her voice. Myles opened his eyes to look into a purple pair of glassy jewels he was to believe were the eyes of the lady holding him in her arms, their dazzling beauty were gravitating. Mesmerized he said the first thing that came to his mind, "She was right... you are way out of my league." Myles, flustered by his own words couldn't look away so he just gazed into her eyes. They were strangers now and their history together was meaningless now. This was like love at first sight, neither could look away and neither wanted to. So, they just sat there and stared. 

"Truly this could only be a dream." Myles thought.
