Angel and Sephirot.
Chapter 8: Our history.
"Here, I think you need it. " And two plates with food were put in front of the two lovers. The two stared at it, drooling, then attacked it and emptied it in less than five minutes.
The dark haired woman, named Ashura, chuckled.
"Thank you! We really were starving! "
"No problem, young one. And... " She looked at Jaden "I'm in your debt after all. "
"Huh? " Jaden, and Haou who had appeared, looked quizzically at her.
She smiled and winked at Haou, surprising the three with the fact she could see him.
She sat with them at her table. She had lead them to her house (well mansion would be better) not too long ago, and had immediatly cooked for them while they told her everything that happened under her request. Strangely, Jaden had felt complete trust in her.
"Well... It seems the right time to tell you our story. " She looked at the two brunets. The two looked at each other.
"Our... story? "
"Yes, our story. Now listen carefully. You and your dark side... are brothers. "
"WHAT? " The two were surprised; but also happy: they were already considering each other like brothers, but actually being true siblings... Jesse had wide eyes, too.
Ashura just smiled, knowing they would react like that.
"We are... brother? True brother? By blood? Same parents? "
She laughed. "Yes. I can even say twins. " She winked at them, their jaws hitting the floor. Then they managed to calm themselves under the amused look of Jesse and Ashura.
"Now that you are calm, I'll will continue. As you had certainly pictured, you are not human. "
They nodded. "So what are we? "
"You are vampires. "
"Vam... Vampires? " Now that was too much. They were brothers (not that they mind), they were vampires... Jesse looked at his lover, and remembered when he had nuzzled his neck, back when they were in the bathroom after he had snapped for the first time. So he was...
"You heard me, vampires. Maybe you want me to wait before telling you much? "
"No no! We really want to know... "
"So then I suggested you not to interrupt me. "
"Like I said, you are two vampiric twins. And powerful ones. Your blood are pure, meaning all our ancestors were vampires by birth. If I remember well, you were born around the time the pharaoh Atemu was born too. Funny. You lived a life on wandering together, and you liked to play trick. Though, you were pure soul and never killed anyone, even for blood. But they were some that you hate more than anything: the demons. They are the one that killed your parents. Often, you came in hell and made the life of demon... hell. "
"You met me as a demon lord had captured me to have me for himself. I guess you understand what I mean. I was dreading the moment when he would come, when you suddenly jumped on the balcony. I was very surprised because you had jumped from the floor to what you can associate to the fifth floor of one of your high actual building. You saw me and asked me what was wrong. It amazed me how you two knew that I was scared with one glance. I explained and you were shocked... and angry beyond belief. You helped me escape, and what an epic escape! The demonic lord still faint if someone mention your name. "
"Speaking of your name, your true name, Jaden, is Angel. And Haou's is Sephirot. You lived a good life until one hundred years ago. Your worst ennemy, a demon named Diablo, had attacked a village you liked, and you went to his lair. Sadly, it was a trap. He was waiting you. He locked you with a lot of his powerful creatures. You fight a long time, managing to beat them all. But you were tired. He used this opportunity and attacked Haou in his back with his claw. And... you, Jaden, saw it and protected him. You took the blow straight in the heart. Haou managed to make you two escape, and he carried you here, in my house. But you died shortly after. I remember well how much Haou cried. At this moment, I couldn't just watch. I'm not a normal demon, you see. I'm a demonic spirit, one of the demons that are granted magical powers. I used mine to fuse your two souls. After that, I showed Haou a dimension called Dark world, and it's here he became the supreme king. He ruled there until some days before Jaden was born, seventeen years ago. Your power had grown enough to make his part of our soul have his own personality. That's why you decided to be born again, but with Jaden the dominant soul. You never forget he gave his life for you. But in the process, the moment your two parts of your soul had too much power, and you forgot everything. Jaden was a normal human in his eyes, his power, and Haou, dormant. And you, Haou, you just remember being the supreme king. "
She stopped in her rant. The two were looking at each other, and she almost cried when she saw they had the same look they used to have for each other. She knew their memory would come back to them when she told them their story.
"Now that you knew everything, there is one thing you need to do: be two again. And for that, you need an artifact that Diablo keeps in his lair... "
