Hey there fellow readers.
Alright so this here is the first of many 'Memories' chapters that I'll post up when I believe they'll work best. That and this also is just to hold you guys over a bit while I do the next react chapter. That said keep in mind a few things from here on.
1. Most of these memory chapters will either be short or somewhat long or in a rare case. Very long. Depends on the memory at the time.
2. Most of these memories may have some elements to the story this is connected to. Being Four Hearts Of One Journy Beginnings. So if some things are confusing then you'll understand why that is.
3. The point of these memories chapters is to fill in some blanks at the more pivotal moments of the twin's life's or to just show more of their character. Taht and the relationships between the servants too, and how they formed.
That aside. I did want to say too I am working on the react chapter still. But I did have to put it on hold a bit. Mostly because I realized I need to make a list at what servants my Chaldea in its lore has for my own sake of memory. Somewhat because the story this is connected to has a part in that and more because this just makes things easier on my end obviously. Still, it was actually kind of hard for me to decide on who would be and who would not be part of this story lore wise. But I'll get more to that on the end notes.
So that said. I hope you enjoy this first small segment for the memory chapters ahead.

Memory.01:
Just like it was yesterday...
Nerve racking, yet oddly a nostalgic feeling too….
At least if you asked Eliphas Tohsaka on his opinion here.
Why simple. As since he and his sister were still locked inside their room in fear of their impending doom once their family DOES make it here. That and the sounds of panic from their original seven servants, along with the confusion from all the other servants who had no idea why they were behaving in such a way. Then the answer at least for Eliphas was because this had always been a similar situation he and his sister would find themselves in at times when they were younger.
As the boy eyed his fraternal twin sister. He smiled just a bit remembering how even if they shared the same fear in these moments. Eliphas always let his sister express her own worries a bit more, gave her more of a chance to calm down quicker and allowed her to grab his arm, and snuggle against him for some form of familiar comfort. Eliphas had always done so as he felt more incline to allow his sister to be the expressive one. While he kept a strong-ish face despite feeling the same. In the end of the day. Eliphas was a protector like his father who always shoulder the burden of being the stronger one with the family. A fact that he never minded one bit honestly.
Actually speaking of that, right now this reminded Eliphas of a memory of back when they were kids. One where his sister started to cling onto him for comfort like she currently was now.
This memory took place about around the time they were in kindergarten. His sister having come in a few weeks later during the start of the school year since she'd caught a bad cold earlier. Anyways his sister even now as much as Eliphas hated to say it. Could be a bit of a… air head and crybaby at times. Not that she wasn't smart or tough. Oh heck no. She and he were straight A students thanks to how their mother was when it came to the importance of studying. That and she could beat up most punks with just one hand if she wanted too. Again, thanks to his mother and also father teaching them self-defense.
Anyways even back then as little kids. Locasta being this way did attract usually a bully or two to mock of her for their own amusement at her expense. When she was older it didn't happen as much. But when she was younger well...
-[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]-
It was a day like every other for the start of the new year at the U.W.C Institution. All the kids from kindergarten to twelfth doing their own thing as this school allowed hosted grades. Though that was easy since the U.W.C Institution was the ONLY school here in the city. Though unlike first to twelfth grade. The kindergarteners were separated from the rest of the school body until first grade. But at times were allowed to interact with the big kids.
So here was today, like another other on the playground as the kids played and enjoyed each other's company. Well aside from a few who were near the large sandbox next to the jungle gym.
"L-Leave me alone you meaines and give me back my dolly!" A little Locasta in an orange dress with cute little white slip on's and her long hair tied in a bun pleaded
Why well because two boys. One of them being those Faunus named Tomas and another that had some cybernetics already implanted in him named Jason. Were currently taunting her as they held above her, her favorite dolly her mommy and daddy got her when she was a bit younger.
"Aw look the baby is crying. Haha!" Tomas taunted as his creepy hyena laugh echoed a bit. His small but sharp fangs showed too as he laughed, which made Locasta nervous. But she kept trying to get her dolly back as the hyena boy held her back with one hand
"Yeah. Waah, waah. I want my dolly. Haha stupid air head Locasta!" Jason added in with his own taunting tone. As Locasta did her best not to start crying at the mean name for her just now
"S-S-Shut up and just give me my dolly back you meaines!" Locasta yelled as she tried to push past the Tomas hand. Only for her to be pushed hard as she landed on her backside, slowly she got up almost crying a bit as the two mean boys weren't done taunting her
"Ha airhead Locasta thought she could push past me. Ha stupid airhead and look she's gonna cry for real. What a baby, hahaha!" Tomas teased again as Locasta was really doing her best not to cry. She was a big girl and big girls don't cry she believed
"Yeah crybaby. Crybaby Locasta is her new name. Better than airhead." Jason remarked as he decided to start taunting Locasta more "Crybaby, crybaby. Crybaby Locasta!"
"Haha, crybaby Locasta!" Tomas mused as he and his friend started to laugh more
Locasta meanwhile was truly doing her best to not just start crying. As tears threatened to start pouring out of her eyes and her lip quivered a bit. She just did her best to keep a strong face like her brother always seemed to do, but it was getting harder when she kept hearing 'Crybaby Locasta' over and over again while Jason held her doll over her head still.
That was until suddenly someone else came into the fold. Her protector and brother Eliphas.
It wasn't even a second later too. As she and Tomas suddenly hear a loud 'whack' noise. As they saw Jason on the ground and a bit dazed from the sudden attack. That and in his right hand Locasta dolly. Which Eliphas put down before he glared at the Tomas. It wasn't even a second later before Eliphas already charged at Tomas who couldn't do anything from how sudden this was.
"GRRAAHHHHH!" Eliphas screamed so loudly that it got everyone's attention as Tomas was then pushed down to the ground. Eliphas screaming in a rage as he began punching Tomas who was covering his face as best as he could
Not even moments later Locasta heard other kids come around. Either cheering or worried on what to do. But then it was quickly over when the teacher and the teachers aid ran in. Grabbing Eliphas and was pried off of Tomas who was kind of bleeding a bit from his nose and mouth. While Eliphas had seemed to get a hit once or twice too as his lip bleed a little. Locasta had to admit she didn't like the bullies. BUT her brother may have gone a bit too far. She didn't want those mean boys to get hurt or her brother to get hurt for that matter.
Still after that Locasta and Eliphas found themselves in the principal's office. Eliphas pouting some as he Let Locasta cling onto him. Mainly because she was worried for him and wanted to calm herself down. Which Eliphas let her do since this was the first time his sister had wanted to do that. Though they did see Tomas and Jason, who now had some bandages on them. We're being dragged out by their own parents. Who though not happy with Eliphas beating their children up. Were much more upset with the two bullying someone, since Locasta explained the best she could to the teacher who relayed it to the principle. Then again the two boys actually seemed a bit ashamed so maybe something good had come out of this.
That said currently the siblings were waiting for their parents. Both nervous for different reason of course. Since Eliphas knew he'd probably get an earful from his mother at least and then be grounded. While Locasta was just nervous for her brother. Speaking of she decided to say something at least to her brother. If only to help him feel better just a bit.
"U-Um Eliphas." Locasta said quietly as Eliphas looked to his sister as she smiled and held her dolly up in her left hand "Thank you… from me and Betty. You're our hero!"
"No problem Locasta. You can always count on me. Heh." Eliphas said as he smiled when his sister gave him a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before she went back to hugging his arm
But just then as the cute moment between the siblings occurred. Suddenly the heard the door to the office open showing a rather upset Rin Tohsaka and right behind her Shirou Tohsaka trying to calm his wife down. If only to spare his son a verbal tongue lashing. Which didn't seem to work as Rin walked right up to the siblings.
"Eliphas what is this. We heard about you got into a fight today?" Rin sternly asked as she crossed her arms. Though was worried about the slight bruises she saw on her sons face too. She would patch him up later as she had a feeling her stubborn boy said he was fine like his father always did the lovable gonks her two boys were
"Easy Rin. I'm sure there was a reason, you know our boy wouldn't start a fight just for the fun of it." Shirou tried to reassure his wife as he wondered what did occur, though he also hoped his wife didn't go the full stretch with her scolding the poor boy. Even if neither of them were too happy he got into a fight in the first place
"Maybe so but still-" Rin tried to argue as she knew that her baby boy wouldn't do something like start a fight without a very good reason. But just then Locasta cut in in her brothers defense
"Mama, papa don't be mad please. Eliphas was just trying to get my dolly back from these two meanies and…and…" Locasta began to say. Before she began to cry some as Eliphas just let her lean against him as she did. Meanwhile Rin and Shirou looked to one another, before Rin knelt down alongside Shirou
"That true buddy?" Shirou asked his son who took a moment before he nodded that was in fact what the reason. Shirou sighed a bit yet smile too "Well me and your mother aren't exactly happy you had to get into a fight to help your sister out. That said we are proud of you for being a good sibling."
"Y-You are?" Eliphas asked shyly as Shirou smiled and patted him on the head
"We are. But please next time that ever happens, get a teacher okay?" Shirou said as Eliphas nodded in agreement
"Still how about after me and your father talk with the principle, we get some ice cream. For our brave little guy." Rin chimed in as she scooped Locasta up in her arms whipping off her tears as she then did a 'boop' on Locasta's nose "And for our sweet little girl."
The siblings nodded more enthusiastically as that got a quick chuckle out of the couple. Then the door opened as an indication that the principle wanted to speak to them. That and Rin at least seemed to sigh and mutter 'Of course it's still you…'. A bit of a youthful chuckle echoed from within the office and with that the twin's parents made their way inside as the door closed behind them seconds later.
But by this point the twins weren't as nervous as they had been before. So Eliphas just let Locasta cling onto his arm once more. Both siblings feeling comfort with one another then ever and this little gesture of affection would become a normal thing through the rest of their lives…
-[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]-
Yep. That was an interest memory if you asked Eliphas. He even chuckled at how fond of a memory it was to him now considering.
Thankfully the end of that memory was a good one. As Eliphas had only been grounds for a week, made to stay after school to help clean up the principal's office and was made to apologize to the two he beat up. Who happened to seem much calmer now then how they had a few weeks ago when school started. Oddly after that those two bullies after a few more months ended up becoming his and his sister's best friends even up to today. Now they all just looked back on that memory as more a funny one really. Weird how things like that tend to happen.
Still as Eliphas came back to the current predicament of his. He felt much more at ease as he smiled and looked over to his sister. Still clinging to his arm and now asleep. He felt a peace knowing that no matter what happened, he knew his sister could rely on him for support and in turn he could rely on her for the same. That's just how they were.
But that said. He really still was nervous beyond belief and wondered just how they were going to get out of this mess with their family this time.

Oh well, one way or another they'd figure out together. Like always…
And here we are at the end mt fellow readers.
So again like I said on the top notes. Not the longest chapter, but this one was mainly just to give some more insight on how the relationship between the siblings is and how close their bond was back then to now. Anyways as you can also see there are hints of how this world they live in functions and the... oddness that comes with it. It will be flushed out more in my other story of course. BUT some hints here and there will show in later memories chapters focused on the twin's lives before Chaldea.
Now onto more pressing matters I wanted to address. Mainly being the servant situation and some of the special twists I did for this version of my Chaldea. For the decisions when it comes to the servants. Once again I found it hard to have to get rid of quiet a few of them considering how this timeline works in particular. But I'll point out a few things for you the reader to keep in mind too.
One is that some servants in Chaldea will not be picked for reactions even if they live in the place. Mainly because they either are too smart/ preceptive/ paranoid to fall for the invites or because of how they might initially react violently. Hence if you all remember how I wrote Hans and Kiara in one of the earlier response chapters after they were showed Disney's 'The Little Mermaid'. Then you can see why the hosts might want to avoid another incident like that from ever happening again.
Second reason is that because of the connection to my other mentioned fanfic. They're interference and they're own troubles changed quite a few things. One of them being the twins and their family lives in the world they live in now or the U.W.C/ Unity World Colony.
Anyways for the last change, this isn't a spoiler to say just a heads up. But basically, I changed the Lost Belts. Now before anyone goes off. I love how the lost belts are in the game. But I wanted to do this either way. That said they still are technically still singularities in a sense. But much more then that too as well of the fact I based them within some other franchise. But they will still have the same cyphers and such. Just different types of basically worlds in themselves. Another reason for this is also because of how the other fanfic is connected to this one. So it's also due to the effects when the twins out of town relatives came in during the first original singularities. I mean hey, I did say that my Chaldea was different, and when I say different. I mean really different in some ways.
That said. I'm actually gonna write up how these new Lost Belts went down before then events of Chaldea Reacts sooner or later. So keep an eye out for that story.
Okay so that's all I need to say. I hoped you enjoyed this short read and until the next chapter. I wish for you all to have the best days ahead.
