Eibon's Prophecy chapter three: Youth
Chrona
He says he doesn't know how to deal with it again, always he says this, always I agree. Mother is forcing him to do it now; she forced me to do it last week. She wants him to play with his pet rabbit. Just like how she made me play with my pet dragon. Poor little dragon.
I hear him from my room. He is crying because he cannot do it, just like with me, lady medusa brings him into the dark room. I don't know how to deal with his crying, I don't know how to deal with his pain. He tells me at night as we lay in bed about his hidden desert, how he draws circles in the sand for safety. He tells me how I visit him to ask questions.
Maybe I am jealous because he gets to have a desert; I only have a city full of shadows with no light's. I am flustered. Perhaps it is for the best if I were to check on him. Oh no, no, no, Lady medusa would not appreciate that at all. She might throw me back in.
Ragnorok says my blood is black; I don't like Ragnorok he is so mean to me and always saying things I don't understand or know how to deal with. He treats me differently from brother for some reason. He is always saying something like "I Hope you grow up with your mother's Body" or sometimes it's something even more confusing " I Wonder if you'll be a screamer, Oh I wish I had my own body". I don't understand what he means, I don't know how to deal with him enough to ask, I Don't like how his eyes bulge slightly when saying it.
Mother has put him in to the room, I can hear the crying, Ragnorok is acquainting himself with Khrona now. Mother says since when we were infant's Ragnorok has been inside of us. But before the dark room, to me at least, he was nothing more than a whisper, never actually coming out. He beat me horribly in that black room. After I slew my lovely pet and returned to my senses mother took me to her chambers to examine me. Ragnorok had left fist imprints down the length of my stomach, one rib Lady Medusa said, was fractured. That was the day that ragnorok discovered he had a girl as a host, apparently though he could sense the outside of my body, he never made the connection.
Lady medusa enters now, her face is turned upward to me, she studies me like something beneath her, which I am. I am only the demon sword meister chrona, not worthy of her love, or anyone else's for that matter. Brother is the only one who is equal to me, the only one who shares my pain. I think of us together equaling a whole. Much like ragnorok we are split in two. It hurt's my head to think this much, It hurt's to exist, mother says she is starting to really test since it is our seventh year, a luck number she jokes. Are we a joke?
Three years later
Khrona
"Chrona I'm hungry, Ragnorok keeps eating our foor." She stares at me with my own eyes our stomachs growling in sync. She is just as hungry as I am, for some reason I always's seem to talk more than she does. She is always watching though. I am comforted by her, she is comforted by me.
"I know Khrona" Ragnorok erupts from both of our shoulder blades. We hate when he does this. Ragnorok speaks in unison, he always does. Unlike Sister and me he is one whole being split in to. He cannot have a separate conscious. That is why mother says only one of us may fight at a time when the time comes. He cannot hold a conversation with himself nor can he move if the other is fighting. He can however connect our wave lengths so we can talk, though we never do.
"Quit being a bunch of Cry babies', Damn it" He gives sister a hard knocks on the head and then he goes still. Then the one in me does the same to me. He is such a bully. I hate him sometimes and it is weird for to be honest I must admit I do not comprehend what hate is.
Ragnorok has swollen from the amount of soul's mother, sister, and myself have fed to him. It is quite scary to think that we are so powerful. Then again it is normal for a demon sword. Chrona sit's down and put's her fingers through her hair, tugging hard against the strands that stick out. Her eyes are shaking. I know she is getting ready to kill for her sanity is on the edge.
Mother says we are visiting a playground today, Sister is visiting a playground, Mother says soon we will feast on adult souls. I do not get to go this time but sister does. I walk over to her and stare at her, she stares right back her hand's cease shaking. We both nod, after all no one cares for us, what else are for besides mother's Experiment? What else could we possibly be useful for?
Chrona three years later.
What is this? Am I injured, is Ragnorok hurting me? WHAT IS THIS BLOOD. I don't Know how to deal with this why is everything hurting. Why is Ragnorok Laughing at my pain? I am so Scared. I look down again at my front opening. My vagina as mother called it. Why is there blood coming from it? Why is my whole body hurting? Why has it been hurting all week?
"Finally Bleeding little girl, That's it it's finally happening, Oh man Please get big boobs, Please get big Boobies" Ragnorok has his fingers crossed and a look of pure glee on his face. I don't understand what he means. I roll over and nestle my face against the pillow, if I am dying, save for Khrona, then it means nothing. I stand up carefully pain erupts as a wave of black blood gushes from the opening again.
On wobbly legs I make it up the stairs from my dungeon. I know I am in trouble for doing this but I must interrupt lady medusa. I hope she does not punish me too greatly this time around. Each step brings more pain into my stomach; each step is like a whole day of my life.
I see the door in sight and I sluggishly fall against it, my hand is too weak to knock any more. I Lift my head once and let it fall against her door. I slide down it and lay against the cooling wood. Another wave of pain erupts and I moan this time. Why is there so much blood?
Her door opens and she stares at me with confusion. Then she sees the blood trailing down the length of my leg. Her eyes widen a moment but she does not move or say anything. She walks into her room and opens the back door, the medicine room. She coolly stares me down and orders me to come or she will have to punish my disobedience.
I try to stand I do but it is too much pain, I scream as another wave hit's me, my face screws up in pain. Khrona is asleep still, he does not notice, I like to think he would help me stop the pain. I have kept her waiting too long, A purple arrow erupts underneath me, I am sent careening down the to the room, my back slams against the metal table she examines us on. Pain flares up my spine. I stand up now, this I know how to handle, this I know how to handle, Pain from myself immobilizes me, Frightens me, Pain from another, I am so used to it, it does not bother me, in a way I cannot understand it comfort's me. I barely manage to climb onto the table.
She cuts my dress off, my undergarments soon follow suit. The metal is uncomfortable against my skin. She looks surprised again, so I can assume what I am going through is not normal like ragnorok insinuated.
"There should not be this much blood from simple menstruation, there should not be this much blood from any natural body effect." She is staring with actual delight at the opportunity I have given her, the chance for an experiment. I am happy, I have given Lady Medusa a gift, I do not know what it is but it is a gift.
Pain racks my body again and I moan softly as I attempt to curl into a ball only to have her press me firmly against the table. She buts the straps around me stopping my movement and then she goes to the small cabinet in the back. I do not know the names of the spells and magick she returns with, nor do I know the machines she return's with.
She has one small thing It is covered in runes, she calls it a seeker. She uses a clamp to spread my legs apart and keep them spread as she inserts the seeker into my opening. I feel no pain oddly. I feel my body convulse again and she is splattered by my blood. She does not even notice.
For hours she pokes and prods at me. Taking measurements and giving me a thorough investigation. I have lost so much blood that I am now drowsy, ragnorok has been quite since medusa's arrival. He always is more quite around her, I think he may fear her, I hope so.
She is finished I can tell when the bored and cold looks returns to her eyes. "It seems that your body is different from a normal woman's chrona. The black blood has been seen as two thing's by your body, Why it only happens during your menstrual cycle I cannot honestly say. It thinks of your black blood as both a virus to fight, which is why you fever is so high, and as a child to be born."
Children come from my opening, my eyes widen in shock, I barely hear the rest . not that I understand the word's she says any way's. she explains how my body is attempting to give birth to the blood itself, ragnorok is silent because in order for me not to die of blood loss he has to put all his attention in this body to giving blood. It does not affect the ragnorok in brother's body at all. She explains how at one point when my body cries in pain for a few seconds before the gush, that I am having contraction's.
I ask her if I may go to bed now. She has a cold smirk on her face when she tells me that for getting menstrual blood all over her I can wait the week out on the table.
And there strapped on that cold table without any way of moving for some relief, I lay in darkness until the end of the week.
Brother goes to Italy the next day with medusa. She says she knows a church where he can find some poor lost souls. The doors only open inward.
Authors Note: Okay so I was intending for a longer chapter but decided to split the chapter into two pieces this chapter and the next. After that it will be starting off at my storyline's beginning meaning that is where the manga itself end's as far as my story goes. And now I have a apology, I originally did intend to make the twin's childhood longer with more interaction but I found it too difficult and after a week or two of trying I decided to head on and not let it hold the story up so I may go back and add later. Also I am sorry for anyone who found the menstruation topic too graphic or out of place. I did not intend to make it cover half the chapter but I wanted to ensure that it was clear that the female chrona's only weak point is when she is menstruating.
