Ch 4: The Creator and Guardian

Next to the regions of Wolfling and Foxversent were the lands of Elfhemans and Watoasuni. These two lands were known for their Guardians. In Elfhemans, their guardian was someone who would be an ally of mother nature. Mother Nature is a goddess who watches over the lands for all eternity. She visits once every decade to choose two guardians to protect not just her but all of the region. In Watoasuni, their guardian was in charge of the spirit world, being able to connect with those who have died. Their guardian has to keep the balance between the living and the dead or there would be consequences. These two regions were also aware part of the Mythical Hybrids Protectors where all the regions were one city living together until that day. The day they separated was because of a massacre by the Dark Hound, Shadow Fox, Cursed Humelf and Malice Watoa, the four hybrids of destruction; Myth Reapers. They laid waste to the city of Mythos Palace and because of those four their kind and guardians couldn't trust each other and they all agreed to separate and only go to meetings if any of their lands are in danger.

Now, walking through the woods in the Elfhemans was a teenage girl with black hair wearing light green frilly dress with two large yellow rings with blue orbs at the top around her waist, two smaller ones around both her wrists, green heels with straps up to her knees and an orange-yellow hood around her neck. Her name is Avanna. She was slowly exploring the woods thinking about what to after leaving her home. She left completely because people saw her as a crazy person. After losing her adopted parents at the age of 4 she would walk into the woods to be alone and shut out the world.

"Heh. I hate that village, what happen to treating others with kindness and not hatred. What are they blind idiots?" Avanna says frustrated.

"Just because I'm a hybrid they see me as a traitor or criminal?" Avanna asks herself

"I remember the stories about them that my parents told me but something was always off about how they turned out evil and the fact that the four regions banded together to seal them away and then kill their race while they're gone. At least both my parents and the elders of the village still see me as myself, everyone else can just go to the underworld." Avanna said darkly.

"Now I wonder what's this about me having a brother, my parents told me before they died that I was adopted and had one but I was filled with grief at the time and forgot about it. All I know about him is that he was living in the Wolfling region with our mother and father. I always wondered why they left me but then I found that because of an incident that happened when I was a baby that separated me from them and they couldn't do anything about it." Avanna says trying to remember until realization struck her.

Her eyes widened after she related her abandonment to her leaving the village and they both had the same answer. She was a hybrid.

"IT ALL MAKES SENSE" Avanna yells angrily. She kicks the nearest tree within her sight and leaves a crater in it.

"That's why they had no choice but to leave me but if my foster parents and elders knew I was a hybrid then why did they hide me from others? Maybe they didn't want me killed by people but even so I wish they didn't have to hide that from me. They had such a huge burden on them and it's because of me, it's my fault." She says sadly feeling her anger decreasing at the sudden revelation.

Avanna then looks and her right hand opens her palm and clenches it into a fist. "I'm sorry I had to make you all go through that for me and can't thank you enough for it. So please watch me as I become stronger and make you all proud." Avanna says to herself with determination seeping through her voice.

Avanna's going to show the world that she is a hybrid with her own goals to fulfill and will protect those she cares about and prove people that they are wrong about her. She then continues walking through the woods to her destination with newfound strength and leaves her region behind.

Two Hours Later:

Avanna sees her destination in sight and it was a small inn. She had been traveling since morning and her legs were a little sore. She decided to walk with no transportation because the last thing she needed was someone hunting her down but the good news was she had full control of her powers of being a hybrid. She somehow has a special connection with nature and has the ability to see all that is around her or within range. That's just one of her abilities, she has more but that's a story for another day.

"Good, I arrived here safe and sound. And no one has followed me since I left. I'm staying here for the night and then leaving first thing in the morning." Avanna thinks to herself.

She walks a few paces up ahead to the door but before she stepped inside, she froze as her head started pounding. She holds her head with both hands feeling disoriented for a few seconds and feels her eyes changing. She ran into the restrooms and looks into the mirror. She opens her eyes and isn't at all too surprised at what she sees. Her eyes weren't ocean blue anymore they changed into bloody red. This isn't the first time that has happened to her. Avanna then sighs in annoyance.

"Here we go again with the eyes changing colors. I don't know why but whenever this happens I feel like someone's hurting and I'm not there to help them and I keep having visions of this grey-haired boy in my head." She says.

Avanna always wondered what caused her to have these visions, she felt like she knows the boy in her head but she doesn't. She hopes one day she will get to meet him one day but for now she needs to worry about herself. She makes sure no one else was around her or in the room and closes her eyes. As she closes her eyes and focuses on them to return to normal, the rings around her waist and wrist start to glow as they spin around her. Then blue mist comes out of the orbs and goes into her eyes healing them. This goes on for a few seconds and the rings slowly stop spinning and the blue mist slowly disappears. Avanna opens her eyes and sees in the mirror that they've returned to their original color. She then leaves the restroom, goes to the pay for her stay and heads up to the second floor.

It's been an hour since Avanna checked into her room. In the room on the left side there was a bed next to a dresser and chair on the far side of the wall. On the other side of the room was a bathroom and a small kitchen with a stove and microwave and fridge. In the middle at the end of the room there was a window and a table with four chairs. The room wasn't much but to Avanna it didn't matter because she was leaving tomorrow morning but right she can enjoy some peace and quiet. Right now, she is sitting down on the bed practicing her magic trying keep her other side from getting out. Her other half/personality is not something she wants to deal with right now. Lilie was a dangerous person to be dealt with. Avanna met her when her parents died, during those days Avanna was somehow able to hear peoples' thoughts and feelings on what they really thought of her. They heard about her being a hybrid and they just gave her heated glares. Avanna then shudders before regaining her composure.

"I don't know why but I'm kinda glad that I met Lilie that day. Even though she is a little evil I think there's a nice side to her. Ugh sometimes I wonder why I keep thinking of her like that. I mean it's rare that she says she's nice let alone show it but there are times where I believe she is." She groans.

Lilie was Avanna's opposite but there was always something weird about her, whenever she sees her in her mind to talk to her, she sees something in her eyes that hurts her. Sadness and Anger. For some reason, it hurts Avanna to see Lilie in pain but she never asked her why. Why she was hurting so bad on the inside, maybe that's why she brutally hurt people back when I was little?

"I'm gonna ask her myself. It's now or never" She says with finalization. She then focuses her magic to enter her mind where Lilie is. The magic is slowly starts to change colors from blue to dark orange and everything in the room becomes consumed with blood dripping on the walls and red mist forcing Avanna to fade into unconsciousness.

In Avanna's Mind:

Avanna opens her eyes and looks at her surroundings. She finds herself in a field of flowers but they were withered and dead. She looked ups to the sky and sees it not the normal graceful blue beauty but instead the raging malice bloody red. Even the air around here was hard to breath and it made her want to throw up. Avanna regained her composure and focus on the matter at hand, finding Lilie.

"Heh heh, what are you doing here Avy? Did you run into trouble again and want me to take over or are you just feeling lonely and need someone to talk to?" a voice echoed in the distance. Avanna looked to her left and right seeing no one in sight until she felt something or someone breathing down on her neck giving her small shudders. She yelps and turns around at the culprit and sees a teenage girl who looks like her except the colors were different. Her outfit was red instead of green including her hood, the rings around the wrists and waist were pitch black even the orbs and she had blood smeared on her face like she just finished killing something and her hair and eyes were blood red.

"Hello Lilie" said Avanna.

"Hello Avy" said Lilie in an aggravated manner. She usually brings Ava in to world and not the other way around. She'll have to find a way to block her from doing that unless she allows it.

"Hey what with the tone?" said Avanna

"Well I'm the one that usually brings you here and you don't come here of your own free will. Also, you never come here unless you're really sad and down, so what are you here for?" Lilie asks.

"I'm here to talk." Avanna says carefully.

"Talk? What about?" Lilie questions.

"Why are you sad?" She asks.

"Why would I be sad?" Lilie asks again.

"It's just that every time I'm here I see this look you have in your eyes…..sadness. Is it because of me? Am I the one that did this? Avanna asks while frowning.

Lilie sees her frown and tries to reassure her. Even though they don't get along very well, for some reason she cares about Avanna.

"Hmph. No you idiot, you're not the reason behind my sadness and I don't want to talk about it ok so leave here before I force you to." Lilie says warning her. To Avanna it sounded more like a threat than a warning however she was unfazed by it and remain calm. She wanted to ask her why Lilie was so eager for her to leave until she felt her aura. Her aura was full of rage and anger that's just waiting to be release. Avanna quickly said her goodbyes and left the world leaving Lilie to her thoughts.

After Avanna left, Lilie's aura was replaced from anger to sorrow as she dropped to her knees and her hands were on the ground clenching her fists. Her hair was shadowing her face but silent tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. Lilie wasn't angry at all, she was sad because of what Avanna said while they were traveling. Her brother. Avanna didn't know who he was but she did. She knew who her brother was because she also had one, well three siblings. She had two brothers and a sister but they were all separated. She can't remember how or why she knew this but she did and it hurt her everyday to not know what her own siblings looked like. She only remembered their names but that's it nothing else.

"Eclispe…..….Lucine….Aquario…I miss you all." Lilie cried. Lilie cried for a good few minutes until sleep finally took all the while not noticing that a single red lily flower was changing from red to white.

Back in Reality:

Avanna opens her eyes and sees herself back in the inn. She gets up off the bed and looks out her window seeing its nighttime. She must've been out for a while when she talked to Lilie. She frowned as she thought about her. She knew Lilie was harsh sometimes but she didn't expect to be threaten by her like that.

"Maybe I crossed the line when I asked her about it, if I did then she probably won't talk to me for a while." Avanna thought as she looked up at the moon.

As she was looking out the window she feels sharp pain hitting her head. At first she thought it was Lilie getting payback for earlier but it was something else. she was getting a vision. It wasn't much but all she saw was someone running through the woods with a blue muffler and was hurt really bad as there was a trail of blood behind them. Avanna then opened her eyes while she gasped at what she saw. She rarely gets visions, they only happen if it means something bad is going to happen but this was different it didn't feel like bad news. She wonders what it was until Lilie popped up in her head.

"You felt that too right" says Lilie.

"Yes, I did and for some reason, I want to help this person." Says Avanna with curiosity.

"I don't think that's a good idea ok. Look I know we had a fight earlier but something about this feels weird to me and I know you feel the same way" says Lilie in a threatening tone.

"Well I don't care what you think Lilie I'm doing it whether you like it or not. Also, cut it out with the threats I know your upset with me from earlier but this is just ridiculous." Avanna countered.

"You know what, go ahead. You want to help them out, then do it but don't complain to me when it's another person trying to kill you." Lilie said in annoyance as she left her Avanna's head to release her anger in her own world.

Avanna was too focused on finding the person from her vision instead of dealing with Lilie's anger right now. She would talk with her later until then she'll leave her alone. Avanna goes back to staring outside and sees something or someone running towards the inn. At first, she thought it was someone staying up late but then she saw the muffler. The same blue muffler that occurred in her vision. Without question Avanna rushes out of the room and exits the inn to confront this person.

After getting outside she sees the person walking unusual for some reason but without further inspection she walks up to meet this person.

"Hey, I don't mean to be weird but you're the person I've been visioning about in….my" she stops mid-sentence when she sees blood. She sees the trail behind the person coming from their legs and then freaks out, she completely forgot that they were bleeding.

"OH MY GOD, YOU'RE BLEEDING." Avanna shouts in panic.

"Please…..help….me" the unknown voice said right before they collapse face front.

Avanna rushes over to them turning them over. Avanna then gets a good look at the person, it was a boy who had ocean blue hair wearing a long white coat trimmed with blue outlines that zipped from top to bottom, a blue t-shirt underneath with light grey pants and his boots were up to his knees. His blue muffler was hanging around his neck but it wasn't all blue, it was also covered with blood. He was breathing very heavily and his blood was still flowing from his chest.

"Ok hang on. I'm taking you to my room to be treated." Avanna told him as she lifted him up on her back slowly carrying him. As she carried him back to her room she's been wondering about why he was covered in blood in the first place. She'll ask him when he's awake right now he needed help fast. Entering her room, she placed the teen on the bed gently before getting to work. She placed her hands on his head and chest and her hands started glowing green. As she did this, his body glowed as well and the wounds on his chest and head were closing. She did this for a few minutes before she finished.

Avanna slowly started panting from her healing. She hasn't healed anyone besides herself, and elders when they were injured, this was the first time she did this on someone severely injured. She then realized that he wasn't waking up and she panicked a bit before she heard soft snoring. She sighed in relief and then remember she had a guest and needed to head down to the front desk to pay for another night seeing that he wasn't awake. She wasn't sure but she felt like she needed to watch over this person after what happen, someone may still be after him. So she takes one of her orbs off her waist and sets in right on the dresser so if anything happens while she is gone she'll know right away. Avanna then leaves the room and heads down to the front desk all while wondering two things.

"Who is he and why do I feel safe around him?" Avanna asks herself.

An Hour Later:

After paying for the extra stay she'll be having, Avanna went back to her room where the teen was and has been waiting for him to wake up. She's been wondering why he hasn't woken up yet, it was probably the shock from all the blood he spilled or something else. Pushing those thoughts aside, Avanna's been sitting at the table reading a book waiting for him to wake up. She would've been planting flowers, training or talking to Lilie but three reasons she couldn't was A: She's at a hotel and on traveling, B: She has to watch over the mysterious teen on her bed and C: She and Lilie are not on the friendliest terms right now. That was until she spoke.

"Hey." Lilie says

"What do you want, are you here to tell me you told me so or threaten me for bringing up a sensitive subject earlier?" Avanna questioned with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Relax. I'm only here to tell you who you brought with you. I don't know why but that's another hybrid but he's different."

"Wait WHAT? And what do you mean different? Different how?" Avanna exclaimed quietly making sure she didn't wake up her guest.

"I don't know but just be careful around him ok he seems off." Lilie warned her and left her head.

Avanna wanted to ask her what else is wrong until she was interrupted of by a soft groan coming from the bed. Avanna closed her book and rushed over to the side of the bed waiting for the teen to open his eyes. She is then greeted with ocean blue eyes, same as hers. He then gets up a bit but not before wincing from earlier.

"Careful, I may have healed your wounds but you don't have the energy to move around yet." Avanna told him. He then looks at her in slight fear until a memory played in his head. She was the one that helped him when he came out of the forest.

"Thank you" He said.

"Huh?" Avanna said dumbfounded.

"Thank you for helping me and healing my wounds." He replied.

"Oh, no problem. Glad I could help, by the way what's your name?" Avanna asked him.

"Kaito. You?" the teen now revealed Kaito asks

"Avanna. Nice to meet you." She answered

"Nice to meet you too Avanna. Say where are we and how did you healed me so fast." Kaito asks

"Oh, we are at an inn. I was planning on staying here for the night and leave in the morning but then I met you and wanted to watch over you until you were better. And I don't want to freak you out but if I show you what I did you can't tell anybody ok." Avanna tells him with a harsh glare.

Avanna then hears Lilie yell at her in her head. "Avanna what are you doing, didn't I tell you to be careful around this guy and not trust him right off the bat?" Lilie yelled angrily.

"I don't care about what you said Lilie. You don't get to judge people until you know them and right now my heart is telling me that I should tell him. I don't know why but even though we just met I trust him already he seems nice" Avanna says softly.

"Yeah and I'm not? Look I will listen to this conversation with you ok and I'm not taking no for an answer. I'm telling you something's off with him." Lilie replied angrily

"Fine but don't say ANYTHING AT ALL or we will have words." Avanna threatens her.

"Ok ok yeesh I'll only listen and back off, see ya." Lilie finishes before fading back into her mindscape.

Kaito backs up a little after seeing her glare intensify when he didn't answer for a bit. He thought about her offer before he looked back at her and gave her an answer.

"Ok I won't tell anyone ok." He reassured her.

Avanna smiles at his answer and sits down right next to him. She lifts her hand up in the air and it starts glowing. As she does this her orbs glow as well lightly the room in a green color. Kaito is awed by what he sees and wonders if she is a hybrid like him. Avanna lets her hand return to normal before looking at Kaito who was amazed by what he saw.

"So, what was that?" he asked.

"Its my power really. Let's just say that I was born as something that made everyone hate me from the beginning. All my life people just looked at me with hatred and malice and the only ones who were nice were the elders and my parents." Avanna tells him while frowning.

Kaito was confused at why she was frowning and was wondering why she was treated so harshly. She was nice, hell she even healed him when she could've left him to die, so why do people hate her?

"Um If you don't mind me asking why did they hate you, you seem like a good person at heart, healing me from earlier is an example of that" Kaito asks carefully.

"I don't think I trust you enough yet ok so maybe I wou-" She said before she was interrupted by him.

"Is it because you're a hybrid" Kaito said before he felt himself pushed on the bed and felt something against his throat, it was a small blade. He looks and sees Avanna eyes are not blue but instead a dark color and she looked like she's ready to kill him.

"WHO ARE YOU?! Were you sent here to kill me or are you trying to take my power for yourself?" Avanna shouted with malice and killer intent.

Kaito was shocked at what he was seeing. This wasn't the nice teenager from before, this was someone else entirely.

"TELL ME!" Avanna shouts again. Kaito was then brought out of his trance and answered her carefully.

"I'm not here to hurt you ok, I don't even know who you are." He answered.

She pushes blade further against his neck drawing a little blood. She didn't believe him.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you." She threatened.

"The only reason I ask if your hybrid was because…" He paused.

"BECAUSE OF WHAT" She shouts ready to kill him.

"Because I'm a hybrid too." He answers. Avanna's eyes are overshadowed by her hair as she pulls the blade from his neck and puts it back in its sheathe on her waist.

"How are you a hybrid?" She asked him.

"You want the long version or the short one?" He asks rhetorically.

Avanna sweat dropped at his response. "Can you just answer the question?" She asked again.

"Alright I'm going with the short one then." Kaito answered as Avanna groaned.

"Ok…" He started off. "I was born a hybrid with some type of power. I was raised in my region without knowing I was a hybrid for the past decade and 7 years. I was a guardian in my home until I was framed for something that I didn't do and they basically turned against me when I accidentally shapeshifted my ears in front of them." He continued until Avanna interrupted.

"Wait a minute, if you're a hybrid what was your animal trait or powers that you showed in front of them?" She asked.

A vein popped up on to his forehead when she interrupted him. "I was getting to that ok, please ask all questions at the END of the story OK" He says irritated.

"Oh right sorry." Avanna replied

"Ok as I was saying, after revealing myself and finding out who I was, they tried to kill me because they thought I was one of the four dangerous hybrids known to life and they got me pretty good. I've been on the run for about a week now facing assassins or bounty hunters trying to kill me but I always managed to either evade or subdue them. I wouldn't kill them unless I have to but I really hate doing that. So yeah that's happen a lot and earlier they thought they got me when I was bleeding and pretty close to dying until I met you and you saved me. Now that I'm done do you have any more questions to ask?" He finished.

Avanna was processing everything he just told her and she was wondering that he is just like her except people hadn't tried to kill her all the time because they were so afraid how violent she could get with or without Lilie. She felt bad for Kaito.

"I'm sorry for asking about you." She apologized.

"Heh heh, no its alright. I wanted you to know that you can trust me and know that I'm not like those people that betray their own. Plus, you kind of scared me earlier with the threat earlier." He reassured her. She giggled at bit at the last part.

"Well I was on alert really. My partner warns me about trusting people." She told him.

"Wait you have a partner too?" he asked.

"Too? Wait does that mean you have a partner in your head as well?" She asked.

Kaito nods at her response. "Mmmhmm. I got one in my head too, although he isn't one of the friendliest people to meet but if once you get to know him he ain't bad." He says.

"What's his name?" she asks.

"His name is Aquario. Yours?" he replied.

"Lilie. Just like your partner she isn't really friendly with people. Ever since the abandonment at my village or as I left she's been really protective of me. I mean we get into arguments every now and then but she protects like I'm her own sister." She told him.

"Is she the reason why you had your knife blade at my throat from earlier? Is she really that protective?" he asks curiously. Avanna nods her head at him.

"Yes she is. If you get on her bad side she'll kill you." Avanna said. Kaito laugh at her comment until he saw the look on her face saying otherwise.

"Oh your serious?" he asked.

"Yep. I mean she really will kill and mostly for the fun of it." She confirmed. Kaito shivered at the thought of what would happen to him if he ever crossed that line with her… let's just say it's not going to be pretty.

"Remind to not get on your bad side." Kaito said still scared at what she might do.

"Don't worry you'll be fine." Avanna told him while patting him on the back to calm him down. They both then felt a sharp pain in their head and went into their own mindscapes a bit.

In Kaito's Mind:

Kaito opened his eyes and found himself in an ocean of water. He then closed his nose as he felt like he was about to gag at the aroma of blood in the ocean.

"Ugh, Man I hate that smell but then again this is his world so I can't argue." He complained. Kaito then heard soft splashes of from behind him meaning someone was walking. He turned around and was greeted with Aquario his opposite/partner. He looked like Kaito except everything his clothes were black and his muffler, eyes and hair were blood red.

"Hey sorry for pulling you in here Kaito but we got to talk." Aquario said with a glare towards him.

"Ok ok, we'll talk but no need for the harsh glare man. I just got scared earlier after learning about Avanna's partner of what she might do to me if I cross her and trust me that is something that I don't want." He said with a little fright in his voice.

"Actually that's why I pull you in here I want to talk to my sister." Aquario said seriously. Kaito's eyes blink once or twice until realization hit him.

"Wait you mean Lilie, one of your other three siblings that you talk about?" he exclaimed.

"Yes and please ask Avanna if you have her permission ok, I really want to see my sister again. I miss her." Aquario said with a frown on his face as tears start to show in his eyes a little.

Kaito didn't like seeing his partner like this. When he and Aquario weren't at each other's throats like they used to, they would talk about what was going on in their daily lives. He heard about his partner's story where he was separated from his siblings and hadn't seen them since then, he knew that feeling all to well. He has an older sister that lived in Foxversent and he got separated from her when he was a baby. Kaito was going to leave his home to search for her but now that's he on the run he has to avoid hunters all while searching for her.

"Don't worry partner, I'll get her permission one way or another alright?" Kaito said with determination in his voice and a smile on his face.

Aquario nodded his head at his partner's answer.

"Thank you." He said with a smile on his face as well.

In Avanna's Mind:

Avanna opened her eyes and she back in the field of flowers from earlier and saw Lilie kneeling on the ground a few feet in front of her. She was a bit angry at Lilie for calling to her in here and going to give her some words.

"LILIE, I told you not to interrupt in the conversation. So please tell me why did you even do that in the first…place?" She shouted and stop when she saw Lilie's face. Avanna never thought she would see her partner do the one thing she hated crying. Lilie was crying right in front of her with her hands on her face as tears continued to run down her cheeks.

Avanna crouched down to her and pulled her in a hug with her head underneath her chin hoping to calm her down. Lilie froze for seconds making Avanna think she didn't like being touched but before she could pull back Lilie wrapped her arms around her waist and her head in her shoulder and continued crying.

"Hey what's the matter? I've never seen you cry like this before. What happened?" Avanna asked.

"Why? Why are you….?" Lilie muffled with her face still buried in Avanna's shoulder.

"Comforting you?" She said and receive a nod from Lilie.

"Lilie, even though you and I fight a lot and have our differences, you are still one of the people that are most important to me. I know I said that the elder and my parents are those people but I said five people remember." Avanna said comfortingly.

"I guess those the other two are is your older brother that you haven't met yet and someone else in the village." Liie answered.

"Yes but you are wrong on who the fifth person is." Avanna said teasingly.

Lilie removed her head from her shoulder and looked at her with red eyes from crying. " How am I wrong I don't know who the fifth one is but I know it's someone close?" She asked.

Avanna then revealed her answer as she smiled at Lilie and pulled her back into another hug. "Because the fifth one I was talking about was you Lilie. I meant you. Remember when I was little and had no one to talk to, there was you. Even though there were elders, all I had was you and you were the first friend I made. I couldn't even imagine what would've happen if I never met you and I'm really glad I did. So yes Lilie, you're the fifth one that's important to me and I care about you." Avanna said as her eyes started to tear up a bit.

Lilie couldn't hold it in anymore. She sobbed out all of her feelings to Avanna. Even though they didn't get along well, she couldn't believe Avanna thought of her as someone important. Lilie felt so happy and loved at the reveal. She hasn't felt that sensation since she was separated from her siblings. So, she continued crying until she couldn't cry anymore and wrapped her arms tighter around Avanna as they both shared their feelings to each other.

10 minutes later:

Avanna and Lilie both calmed down after their crying session. They were both now lying in the grass looking at the blood red sky.

"Hey Avy" Lilie called out to her.

"Yes?" Avanna replied.

"Is it true, is my brother in his mindscape and is he your friend's partner." Lilie pleaded.

Avanna rolled over a bit to grasp Lilie's hand and give it a gentle squeeze. "Yes it's true. Kaito wanted to meet you and he wanted me to meet him but I got a better idea. How about we meet each other at the same time in mindscape me and Kaito will create so that way you can see him again instead of him coming into our minds or ours going to his, is that ok?" Avanna asks her.

Lilie was about to tear up again until she wiped them away with her free hand. "No. No more tears, not until I see him again. Please let me see him again Avy." Lilie pleaded again.

Avanna gave her hand another squeeze and gave her a smile. "Don't worry Lilie I'll make sure you see him again, I promise." She said.

Lilie then showed a smile, not a malice one she gives to her enemies or Avy when she messes with her but a true gentle smile. "Thank you." She said.

Back in reality:

Kaito was starting to get worried about his friend Avanna. She had been in her mind a little longer then him and was wondering if she was in trouble. Right before he could go into her mind to see what was going on, Avanna opened her eyes.

"Oh there you are. I was starting to worry." he said with relief in his voice.

"Sorry I just had a long talk with my partner. She's ok now. She's willing to talk to her brother again." Avanna said with a smile.

"Wait she's ok with it? Ok what happened in there while you were out?" Kaito asked dumbfounded at what he just heard.

Avanna laughed at the expression on his face and replies to him. "Let's just say that we are starting to open up a bit more to each other and are starting to understand one another." she said softly.

"Oh alright then. So how are we going to get them to meet each other then?" he questioned since he had no idea how they were going to do that.

"I have an idea. We are going to combine our mindscapes into to one so they can see each other face to face. To do that we're going to focus our magic into each other and our minds will join through telepathically." She says.

"Um are you sure that's safe?" Kaito asked worriedly.

"Don't worry I learned this from my elders so it will work." Avanna said calmly.

"Ok let's do it!" Kaito said excitingly.

Avanna giggled at his response of excitement before she motioned him to sit legs crossed on the bed with her. She then asked him to lean his head against hers and puts her hand on the back of his head. They both then started focusing their magic into each other. Green and blue flowed from their bodies as they focused into one another before a bright light lit up in the room consuming them both. They both opened their eyes as they found themselves in a field of flowers and an ocean. They both looked at their surroundings and at each other before they both celebrated a bit.

"Yes it worked!" Kaito cheered.

"Oh my god, this is perfect now they can meet each other without interference." Avanna also cheered. "Hang on let me get Lilie." She says before a voice cuts her off.

"No need I came in the moment you created the mindscape." Lilie says walking to Avanna.

"Hey there you are. So you ready to see your brother again?" Avanna asked with excitement in her voice as she started walking to Kaito before she noticed Lilie wasn't walking with her.

"Lilie?" Avanna called out to her before noticing she was shaking and tears were coming out of her eyes. She then looked at where Lilie was staring at and she saw another Kaito except he his clothes were black and his muffler and hair were blood red.

"Hey Aquario where are you?" Kaito shouted.

"I'm right here no need to shout. Jeez I hate it when you do that I'm not deaf." Aquario told him.

"Heh sorry but hey were here now so let's meet your sister." Kaito told him before he noticed he stopped walking.

"Hey you coming or not?" Kaito told him before he saw him shaking. He looked in the direction Aquario was staring at before he noticed that he saw another Avanna except her clothes were red and her hair and eyes were blood red. Both Avanna and Kaito moved out of their partners way to see each other before they both heard them mutter their words at the same time.

"B-Brother?" Lilie said as tears started falling down her face.

"S-Sister?" Aquario said as tears flowed down his face as well.
