Erin couldn't believe her eyes.
Being summoned to Askr was rather disorientating, to say the least. One moment she was preening the wings of her pegasus, next she was at an alter of sorts, faced with a hooded figure wielding an odd contraption in their hands.
Had she not seen Shanan here in Askr, she would believe that she was simply hallucinating some fictional world.
What she was seeing now though, she was shocked. Yet ecstatic and happy. Erin rushed over to the figure she was so transfixed by earlier, tears streaming down her face.
"ANNAND!" she yelled through her tears. Against her better judgment, she leaped onto her sister, trapping her in a tight hug.
"A-Annand….I'm so glad to s-see y-you…." Erin hiccuped "Y-you were d-dead and I...I… I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" she wailed out. Erin didn't care to notice Annand stiffly laying on the ground as if unsure what to do, her eyes wide with confusion. Erin cried, and she cried. How long had she been crying?
Finally, she was sniffling. Immediately though, realizing that Annand had been pinned down on the ground, Erin quickly got off her, slightly embarrassed. Twiddling her fingers and looking at the ground, Erin mumbled out an apology "Oh... I'm sorry I pinned you to the ground like that Annand…"
Before Erin could express her relief again, Annand cleared her throat. The words died on her tongue and she looked up at her sister, eager to hear what she had to say. Instead, Erin laid there, frozen at Mahnya's words.
"I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else. I am Mahnya...not your sister, Annand."
