For the afternoon, I was sent to take a look at Vivian to see if she is doing fine. Not only that, but also she has turned into human again. As much as I want to ask her of this, it's best to have Sister look at her first before we find out together.
Anyway, we went to take a look at her in the bed sleeping.
"If I'm not mistaken, Salamandinay really did a number on her," I said.
Suddenly, she woke up with a frightened expression as if she was having a nightmare.
"You scared me," Vivian said.
"Me, too," I added.
"Vivian," Sister noticed her.
"Sup!" was she said.
"Vivian, why are you human?"
"Quiz time."
"Here we go again," I chuckled. Quiz time, really? Is that her catchphrase or something? I heard her repeating it whenever there's something trivial to ask.
"How did I get back to being human?" was her question.
We want to know the answer to this question, but...
"Beep, too bad," she has to make a sound of a buzzer. "The answer is..."
However, she looks confused.
"Umm... What was it?"
"I adjusted your D-type gene regulatory factor," the female doctor, if I'm not mistaken, replied. "You should be able to maintain your human form without medication now."
"There we go," Vivian added.
"Seriously, you asked that and you don't even know the answer?!" I yelled at her with surprise. Even if I'm shorter than her because she's 15 years old and I'm 12, that is.
She laughed sheepishly for being a scatterbrain.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" the doctor asked my sister.
"Not really," was her reply.
"Well, that's a relief," I added.
"Sylvia, why are you not wearing your Zero costume and armor?" she asked me.
Come to think of it, I wasn't wearing those two things when I came to check on Vivian.
"The DRAGONs took my costume and armor in order to fix like your machine. If I'm not mistaken, they could be also fixing the Shinkiro," was all I could say.
"Oh..." she said.
"What matters now is that you're okay," I added.
"It's a good thing Princess Salamandinay must have gone easy on you," the doctor added.
"Gone easy?" Sister is bothered over the result, if I'm not mistaken, with the fight against that humanoid DRAGON.
"Tusk was so worried about you, Ange," Vivian said.
"So do I," I added.
"Oh, thank you, Sylvia," she blushed when I said that. She never thought about me protecting her. It's a role reversal.
"Help me!" we heard Tusk screaming and we rush to another room to see what is happening, and we saw lots of female humanoid DRAGONs surrounding him. "Anything but that! Stop! Stop it!"
"This is so wrong in many levels," I facepalmed on the moment as I know what is going on. They're trying to examine his naked body.
I saw Angelise rushing to help him, and she tripped on a bottle, causing her to fall onto his crotch. Well, isn't this another role reversal?
"What is this?" she asked before noticing he's naked. "Why are you naked? What's going on?"
"Great," Vivian gives a thumb-up.
"Oh, great," I added with a smile and arms crossed.
"It's not like that, Ange, it's..." Tusk tried to speak up but was cut off.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Tusk," the doctor tried to flirt with him. "We don't get to see many fully mature humanoid males."
Is that why he's being examined? Come to think of it, when we arrived in this world, we don't see male humanoid DRAGONs around. If I'm not mistaken, those DRAGONs that are larger than the ones we know of are the males. I guess it all makes sense why the council questioned about Tusk if he's really a real man.
Seriously, doesn't this world have any male humanoid DRAGONs?
"We've all learned a lot about sex," the doctor added.
"Cooperate? Sex education?" Angelise asked while blushing.
"Yes," was the reply.
"I see," my sister sneered while grabbing a duster and scissors. "I'm going through hell, and you're..."
Judging of her reaction, it looks like she's acting like how a wife feels cheated by her husband. My sister is the betrayed wife, and Tusk is the betrayer.
"Wait, Ange, calm down!" Tusk pleaded to her before he turns to me. "Sylvia, you're her sister, right? Do something about her!"
"If you're asking me for help, you traitor, count me out," I crossed my arms as I refused his offer.
"You animal!" Sister yelled as I saw her dishing out some punishment to him.
"Stop, stop!" Tusk pleaded some more.
After this ordeal, Sister went to wash her face, and I was outside with her and Vivian.
"Ange, have you calmed down now?" our DRAGON friend asked.
"I'm filthy now..." Angelise wiped from a towel before she looked angry on what just happened with my mentor. "I guess he doesn't care if it's a lizard or whatever whenever he's pent up. Stupid Tusk!"
She just throw the towel to the ground when she called Tusk stupid.
"You appear to be fine now," Salamandinay showed up with her bodyguards and a woman who has the same hair color as Vivian's.
Wait a minute?
A woman who has the same hair color as Vivian's.
Could she be...?
"Lamia, it's her," Salamandinay started talking to her. "We've confirmed it by genetic testing. She is your daughter."
"What?" Vivian points to herself.
"I think she's talking about you," I said correctly, and I was right.
"She's the missing daughter of Sylphis. Your daughter, Mii," the princess added.
No wonder her hair color matches Vivian. It all makes sense now.
"Mii. Is it really you?" Lamia runs up to her and gives her a hug while tears are out of her eyes. It looks like she is happy being reunited with her daughter after years of separation if I'm not mistaken. "Mii."
"No, I'm Vivian," her daughter said before realizing something by smelling her. "I know this smell. You smell like Ersha. Who are you?"
"I'm your mom."
"Mom? What's that?"
"I think it means she's the person who gave birth to you," I replied.
"You know, I was going to answer that, but it's good you beat me to the punch," the princess commented while her bodyguards are looking sympathetic on the reunion.
"Vivian's mother?" Sister asked.
"Yes."
Salamandinay explained that Vivian wandered on our world while chasing after her mother. I guess that all makes sense. When she was raised in Arzenal, she forgot about her true heritage, and if I'm not mistaken, the reason she doesn't have her wings and tail when she turned back to her human is because Jill and her people have cut them down.
What a good camouflage while it lasted.
"Everyone, prepare a festival," she said. "Let us celebrate. One of ours has come back for the first time in ten years."
"You know, Sister, if I have to choose between calling her Vivian and Mii, I chose Vivian. Besides, who names their kid Mii anyway?" I whispered to Sister with a smile.
"I agree with you on that one, Sylvia," she agreed with me as she smiled back at me.
For the night, a festival has occurred, and it's because one of their own kind has returned. I saw a lot of female humanoid DRAGONs gathered up with their lanterns being lit up. The princess thanked my sister for bringing her back to her kind, despite massacre and other tribulations. As soon as the DRAGONs let go of their lanterns, they all fly high to the sky.
Maybe I should make a report about how this world, which is the true Earth, is different from our world, the false Earth.
"It's a strange scene," Tusk showed up to us, and Angelise is still angry with him for that scenario. "Please, stop being angry."
"Really, you cheater?" I smirked with my arms crossed.
"Hey, it's not like that, Sylvia," he blushed before turning to my sister with honesty. "I really didn't do anything. My heart belongs to you."
Judging by his facial expression, he's being honest.
"But not your body," Sister added.
"But..." Tusk pleased.
"Stupid."
"Yeah, stupid," I added.
"You too, Sylvia?" my mentor asked me on the matter.
Next, Sister blushed, and we shared a good laugh. Look at her, it's been a while she laughed. I hope we can laugh together like we used to now that we are sisters once again. We continued to look at the sky as we saw the lanterns flying high. Also, I haven't forgotten about the moon there.
"The moon's the same," Tusk said.
"Huh?" Sister turns to him.
"Another Earth, huh?"
"I don't know if this is a dream or if it's reality."
She saw Vivian being reunited with her mother after being apart for ten years. Speaking of her mother, I missed Mother, and I'm sure Angelise missed her, too. She doesn't know Lelouch saved her from Julio's attempt to kill her, but I know about it. I remembered I shouldn't tell her about this while this war is happening. Therefore, I think Lelouch will reveal this news to her after the war is over.
"But I'm glad... that Vivian's human again," Sister said the good news.
Tusk and I nodded at this happening.
"What's going to happen to us now? Why did she want us to see this?" Angelise asked questions, and I'm sure she's talking about Salamandinay in the second question.
"She wanted you to learn about us," we turned to see her bodyguards, and Kaname is the one replying. "And, in turn, to learn about you. That is Princess Salamandinay's wish."
"Oh, thank you," I muttered as I never thought someone wants to learn our culture.
"Learn, and then what?" Sister asked. "We killed your people. You killed our people. That's all there is, isn't there?"
"Anger, sadness, revenge... All that comes from them is destruction, but humans are able to accept and forgive. And so, move beyond that. These are all the princess's words, though," Kaname added.
"Oh, okay," I agreed.
"You, you're Ange's little sister, aren't you?" she turns to me.
"Yes, I am," I answered.
"Lizardia told us you betrayed her because you believed she was responsible for your mother's death. Am I right?"
I thought about bad memories on the matter. I want nothing to do with that anymore.
"Yes, you're right. I thought about that, but I was wrong," I added with regret.
"Good. It's nice you're trying to gain her forgiveness by fighting alongside as someone who is not really you."
As for that statement, I think she's talking about me being Zero, Lelouch's former alter ego.
"T-Thank you," I complimented on what she said.
"Now that you two are here, make a pact," she instructed. "Put your pinkies together."
And we put our pinkies together.
"Now, will you two forgive each other of your sins?" Kaname asked.
"I do," Angelise replied.
"I do," I also replied.
"Will you two be sisters for the rest of your lives?" Kaname asked another question.
"I do," my sister agreed.
"I do," so do I.
"Now that is settled, you two are now washed from your sins. Accept each other once again," the bodyguard stated.
With this, we let go of our pinkies. It looks this pact seals the relationship between me and Angelise to be sisters once again. We smiled at each other afterwards.
"Please enjoy your stay here," Kaname said. "That is the princess's message."
She and Naga bowed before leaving us. However, we can hear the latter has doubts on us being here, but I don't care. I remembered Lelouch's words.
"If you don't trust someone, just see to the matter until you're satisfied with your answer."
I guess Naga will just have to see through us until she can trust us.
"Enjoy our stay, she said," Tusk said with a distrustful expression.
"Do you trust them?" Angelise asked him.
"I don't know, but Vivian seems to be happy. Should we go back?"
"Huh?"
"Arzenal. Libertus. Julio. If we really don't have to fight anymore..."
As Tusk looked worried on what is going on with our world, Angelise and I looked at the night sky wondering what to do next.
I only hope Lelouch is doing okay in our world and he has some kind of plan to end the war there.
