I don't own Timecrest all right below the Sneaky Crab
OK, it's time to get back into Forever Siblings. It's been a while. I know it has. This is getting off to a slow start and some of these stories and some are ending and some are beginning and summer getting off to a slow start like this one, but I hope you're enjoying this story even if it is just getting started and its beginning stages.
I hope you're enjoying this wonderful what if the story was not twisted but an alternate version of what if I hope you enjoy this wonderful what if story?
let's get back to it, shall we?
The shatter will be a Luther Riley and Elise chapter all right then. also, maybe even an ash chapter 2 as well.
we start with Luther
Luther
The day started like any other after the Chrono gym came out of me. I made the speech about the meteors now on the next business hand. Where was my sibling? Asked everyone on ion even Scarlet didn't know I asked Riley Riley where is she. Where is he? I found Riley then I questioned her. Where is Ash, why do you want to know she asked like you don't care anyway why would you think that I asked back without your emotions even if I couldn't feel I knew that she didn't care though you'll probably not see him for a long time at least.
I tried again. Where is Ash? I don't know. Riley said are you lying to me, Riley? I don't know Luther. I don't. You can check all of Valencia if you'd like, but I am sure that I do not know.
doesn't matter you'll never see Ash again do you think it would do you think it would matter if you knew where Ash was right now?
I kept on questioning her. Riley wouldn't talk even if she did tell me she wouldn't tell me Riley was a dead end. I know she left and went to Lyle when she, after she gave blood and rested her a bit then she'd leave and go to Lyle and stay with the Elders the only other place I know that Ash might be, but I didn't wanna go when Riley was down there that would be awkward, wouldn't it?
I went and looked down. We were flying over Lyle. I guess that was because they're the Elden's house I made it easier for Riley to come up and down. I guess Riley is up here resting. I'm going down to Lyle. I need to talk to the Aldens, I asked Scarlett could come with me Scarlet Luther Scarlet said coming up to me some papers you were so weak and sick and didn't know if you were gonna make it at 13 and now and now that you had no magic you're still vulnerable, but it's been a while since I had a chance to sign these papers papersI hold onto them. Oh please don't let Ezra be angry with me for not letting you sign these right away.
what kind of papers I asked Scarlet custodianship papers? Scarlet said to me I can't read them, but they're from the first page of Ezra himself I took the papers from her. Oh thank you Scarlet, but what are they for? You need to sign these right away so that she will be the custodian. parent over Ash, even without my emotions I kinda smiled a bit, knowing that Ezra gave me this gift, he thinks the two of you should be near each other and know each other or something like that even though you will not be seeing him often you will have custodianship parent ship over Ash, but Porsche and Elise will be raising him in Omala how do you know, Ezra told me Riley said Scarlet said I just didn't tell you because you were sick. I hugged her thanks Scarle. I knew you could count on me so where is Ash now ashes or Hella?
with Porsche and Elise right now, they are taking care of your sibling. I nodded. You still be separated from Ash like you want, but Ash will know about you even though that's not what you wanted, Ezra thinks that that should be the case and that the two of you should know about each other. I'd want that. I said as I hugged her I know you would Eldon is also first. Ezra told me that the elders will keep an eye on you as well. They have been your guardians in some because of your youngness because of being so young, I was 17 so they kept an eye on me as well, but now that I am older I am 19 to share and the protection of keeping you safe squeezed Scarlet's hand but what about soul so will still be a problem I know that Scarlet said.
but I don't care about your safety and ashes safety is what's most important. The two of you will be separated until ashes are old enough to come to ion and stay here or it's more but what about Riley? Riley will stay in Lyle unless something happens to Lyle we will protect your protection of ion. Keep this place safe for the time being, even have the elders come up and check on you so you're alive and awake and less ill.
I don't let the Elden keep an eye on me. I said it's OK I'm fine with that and you too. Scarlett Scarlett smiled good. Also now that you're over the age of 13 now and now close to 1516 we can date if you'd like I asked yes, if you think it's too young, I'll let you age until you're a little older. Next year we can date now I said at least Smalley at least quietly. Scarlet smiled and hugged Scarlet again. I took a few of her long dresses into my fingertips. I thought I never get to touch this hair, beautiful hair again Scarleteyes filled with tears don't cry come now please don't I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Scarlet said the thing wiping her eyes we shouldn't cry until you sign these papers.
as happy that Ash will be keeping my last name which made me happy and that we're still separated. I didn't want Ash to remember me, but I guess it's for the best of days and then I know the safe in Orem with Porsche and Elise. And that is good.
I'll have to go and visit Ash once soon even though I'm vulnerable I need Ash to see that I'm alive and Porsche too all right then that's what I will do. I will go to Orem to Blood Moon Haven soon.
I took the paper and signed it. The paperwork was signed. I signed my name Luther Timecrest. I wrote custodian parent of Ashcrest to split custody with Porsche and Elise. There was also paper for me to sign to say that I would be taken care of by the elders, I wrote my name again that I would be washed over by the Elden, that was nice. I guess they're a nice couple.
like I said, I will give them something and return near me a chance to live on ion one day I will save them. Riley made me not so much, but I will save the Elden and I will take a least to be my blood giver right now I have to use Riley. That's her punishment that is fine with me. And at least I don't have to have guardianship over her. The Elders are due for the time being that is fine with me.
Scarlett told me the reason for this was because Riley was about to lie. Well, at least Ezra stopped her from lying. That's a good thing I guess. And I'm happy for that.
and the ashes somewhere safer than just happy and then loving Home, but a safe place to live and grow up like I said I'm gonna go see him. I'm gonna go see Ash soon now that I know the ashes are somewhere safe.
I'll have Ash get familiar with me. I have Ash have a familiarity with me so that I can let him know that I am here that I am here and I'm not going anywhere.
I will not let him know that I almost died and that I will not burden Ash with no way, but I do that and now I can take care of Ash at least from a distance and I don't have to worry about not knowing where ashes and I don't need to tell Riley I will confront Riley about what she was about to do letting jealousy consume her no more that is not gonna happen. I'm gonna be a responsible brother for Ash and take care of Ash. That's what I will do.
even though I said that Ash would have to do without me I didn't know for how long now that I know he's alive and safe somewhere I can go see him I'm going.
to see him, I need to at least once maybe so often maybe every birthday that would be nice wouldn't it? I have an idea of seeing him every birthday Scarlett at me seeing him. Every birthday would be the best thing but before that, we should see him while he still two years old before his next birthday, that's a good idea. I will do that.
you were given custodianship anyway by Ezra himself you're right I was thank you, Scarlet.
Riley was now on ion resting from giving blood to keep it flying in that one spot. She didn't go back down to the elders yet, but first, he should go and talk to the elders. Yes, that would make sense not to know where Ash was, but to let him know that he is here and ready to be taken care of for at least a few more years at least when he's 18 he will leave Lyle, and then still need to take care of Riley.
but I must let Riley know I'm leaving even though I'm not gonna tell her what I'm gonna do. Do you think I should come with you? You asked me maybe Scarlett that might be the best idea yet if you come with me to speak to the elders, that would be nice and I need you to watch my back, of course, your vulnerable magic Scarlet said, putting an arm around my shoulder, and hold me close to her and protect.
for her to protect me at first, I need to speak to Riley.
we walked to where Riley was resting in her old room she didn't live here obviously she just slept there, but I let her rest here when after she gave blood for the day for these few months.
at least for a few months at a time I'm almost to her room Scarlet by my side, holding my hand protectively I look at her and can't get over how beautiful she is my Scarlet. Well, she will be mine soon or later if she wants it if she doesn't, that is OK with me, but I'd asked her I would ask her one day I will, I'll ask her to date me. Let me next year when I'm 16. I will ask her.
but what she wants me is the proper thing is the problem isn't it? I have no emotion, but I don't think Scarlet cares. She's one of the few people who does she doesn't, but I don't think she walked with her with her hand in mine down to Riley's room.
He finally got there, and I knocked on the door Riley can I speak with you go away I heard her say go away Luther, please Riley I need to talk to you I'm not going away I'd like to speak with you, Riley.
Riley
I heard a knock on the door and I told him to go away. I knew it was Luther his soft knock. I knew it. I'm guessing Scarlet was with him. Why was he here why? I don't wanna talk to him. I do enough by giving blood to ION to make it fly, I don't have to answer him. The elders are my parents, not Luther. Oh well I know he's supposed to be like a surrogate brother to me. The elders are supposed to watch him take care of him along with Scarlet too, but I don't care really and I know he's older than me, I know that much. He's five years older than I am. I should listen but I don't care and I don't care that is gone far away. I can't keep an eye on Ash if Ashli was here we wouldn't be here right now. is Ash's fault that we're here it's Ash's fault that I have to be taken care of by the Elden. It's Ash's fault that I have to be the daughter of the Elden instead of being their child. Also, it's Ashli's fault that Luther has to be under his charge protection, even though I am under his protection, it's as fault that I have to be well. We're in this situation where Ash and Luther and Luther has guardship over Ash right now and Ash has his last name because it's his fault for it. No, it's not his fault. It's my fault I'm angry at Ezra, but I can't take it out because Ezra is here, Ezra is locked away now serves Ezra's right serves him right to be locked away but it's Ezra's fault that I am cursed to stay in this horrible town even though I love being here and this is not what I imagine my life would be like here in this town in the town of Lyle.
I know all I do is complain about this and that and the other but that's what I've been doing for the last two years now I'm only 10 and I'm still a kid Luther is still a kid too 15 Why do I care why do I care about any of this?
not again, Riley may I see you, Riley please Riley if you don't come out of your room at least let me come in. No, I said again no I won't I won't let you come in and see me and I am not coming out, and don't ask Scarlet to ask me. I am the oldest here. Scarlet said I'm older than Luther and you said with a soft voice, I knew Scarlet had a soft voice, but still, Folger was the oldest in the whole group. You should at least listen to them, said Riley, you should listen to your parents Eldon then your parents now Riley what does that make you Scarlet Scarlett took a deep breath that made me feel not much of anything. See you are nothing. You're just angry Riley angry at everything. Why don't you calm down and let us explain things to you? I had enough explained to me by the first page about what I can and cannot do and what I can and cannot do with leaving Lyle except to come up there to come up here to give blood and rest here I am a slave, right it's your curse. Luther said your curse to do this for me now I would've done this for your own free will now to be my slave away not really I'm giving you to come and go as you please down to the Elden to live and coming up here to get blood to ion for me for exchange for your safety. She will suffer the curse of while one day, Riley. but the old ones will probably not have to suffer since I've been taken care of by them. I was just telling you that I'm going to go visit them you won't I will ask is going with me.
fine Riley said defeated. They are your guardians too. I guess just that I said just my guardians Luther said, looking at me as soon as I opened the door.
Also, I have signed papers. Luther said I have signed papers. The Ash will be mine. He's under my guardianship now you can't do anything about it now Riley, even if I only see him every once a year maybe once or twice a year until he's old enough to come to stay with me permanently Until it's safe for him to keep your distance I asked no Luther said I won't I don't need your permission, Riley. I heard him say again Scarlet and I will go and see Ash when we want even if it is once or twice a year because of the vulnerability that I have with no magic. But I will do this but first I am going to go see the Elden. He said then I'm going to Omaha to see Ash.
Ezra has given me a gift I heard him say now I will do due on that promise and gift side fine Luther you win I said, but that doesn't mean you'll win every time it does. I heard him say through the door. I'm only doing you a favor he said we're letting you stay here and give blood to Ion, your home is in Lyle not up here, but I'll let you have your room and comfort. Riley might not need them. I don't know yet. I'm still deciding. deciding I said something on what if I'm going to keep you as the person to give blood to my two ions, but I might have to until the curse lifts or until you're gone I don't know which but you will not harm my hair on ashes, head fine I said I will not harm my hair on ashes head.
not till he's older at least never I'm not gonna promise you that I said I'm not gonna promise you forever or never or anything like that. No way well I promise you anything Luther never will I ever promise you those things your promises are just gonna be empty promises I heard say calm down I heard Scarlet say putting a hand on Luther's shoulder thank you, Scarlett. I heard him say is he calmed down a bit? I'm leaving now. I heard him say don't leave your room unless you need something to eat, you are allowed to go to the kitchen after all this am I a prisoner I said not really but kind of yes I hope you don't misbehave while I'm gone, Riley.
I won't misbehave Luther I said, you're not my parent the Elders are you're in my care right now. I heard him say that he was gone and Scarlet too.
Luther
I didn't wanna deal with Riley, so I walked away and took Scarlett's hand. We were going to go see the Elden. We were going to Lyle. She had to teleport me down there obviously because I couldn't teleport on my own no magic. It was awkward for me it was OK, I had Scarlet to watch my back, which is good it's only been a few months since I froze. The meteors and I became a hero, so that's good. At least people know my name and that helps too.
but I'm going to talk to my guardians the Elden well I guess that'll help too going to talk to them. I mean, I guess that's what I will do.
We finally landed. We teleported on the receiving lift in Lyle and wanted the Elden house or shall we not need to go to the receiving cliff? All we could do was just teleport down from ion Scarlet's hand as we walked to the house I could feel Riley's presence in there. We had to be careful even though Riley wasn't here right now oh there you are Mrs. Holden called Adriana her name was Luther Scarlet welcome Kronos Miss Scarlet welcome she said, taking our hands and walking us inside. You're always welcome here. Sit down next to her and have a meal.
so what brings you two down from Ion if Riley was down here we would I would have you teleport up I said I'd give you teleport and you would come up to Ion and we could talk in my study which is more private than down here, maybe we should still do that if you got your study set up Adriana Asti I did well it's not complete yet but it's setting almost done. I mean Mrs. Eldon. She smiles at me well then that's good to hear.
Riley tried to keep us from coming down, but she's in her room right now after giving blood she's tired, but I want you to punish her for not letting me go see Ash soon. I need to go see him of course you do have custody after all it is true that you're under mine and my protection Adriana said, looking at us appointed that to us to keep an eye on you but not in a bad way, but in the protection type of way because of you being the Timecrest and all that and your sibling to smile, knowing that Ash was safe somewhere in Orem, Hala, and not here in this place if he was, I would take him right away to ion and we would fly far away from here, but they are cursed. If you wanted to take us you can't right now that's right set. We understand that we have to take care of Riley until further notice and then will let you know when it's time to retrieve us when this curse is over Understandably I said looking at her too, but we are glad that Ash has a loving family. That's a good thing. I will be his custodian parent guardian whatever it is even though I'm only 15 won't be his parent at the moment that'll be I'll be Porsche doing that Adriana and Elise need to go see them soon. Of course she will, how are you gonna get there? I'm gonna take the Griff transport out of Lyle. Take me there or I might have Scarlet just teleport me right that's a good idea.
but we wanted to come to see you first, of course, dear she said, taking my hand I hope that she'll save us if anything does badly happen here I promise that Mr. and Mrs. Eldon I will make sure the two of you are safe once your time and service for Riley is over smile, knowing that I know that they will be safe I'll make sure of it myself.
thank you, master rest Kronos thank you so much. You don't have to call me that. I said you just call me loser yes of course Luther. They said it once we know your word would be law and your word is final and then I will protect all of you, I said anyone who cares about will be safe, this town is dangerous not just because of Riley, but because there are other issues and other problems and other problems another scary thing in this town I don't get why innocent people like you live here we thought it would be good farmland. Oh yes, I guess you're right. It would be good farmland I guess.
we left Scarlet teleported me to Orem Hala. I had to see my sibling. See how Ash was doing now and that's what we went. We went to Orem Hala.
do you know you need to be careful? I heard her say to me oh yes Scarlet I know no magic and all that I know is I'm vulnerable and I have enemies. We finally made it into Orem and then we walked around the gates to the other side now, we found and then we went to Moon Haven and then we saw Porsche and Elise welcome to Blood Moon Haven. I heard them both say to us Miss Scarlet Luther welcome.
I heard a lease and Porsche say Ash look who's here.
look who came from to come visit you ashes eyes why didn't see me and Scarlet but mostly me and ran. He was barely walking. He could run pretty well though. He's pretty stable on his little feet so cute.
Ash
I saw him as he came in and with his partner Scarlet he came all this way to visit me around as fast as my little legs could go as soon as Elise put me down I held his legs. He picked me up. I've come to visit you he said, do you know who I am? I smiled brother. I said he knotted at me and patted me on the head. I can't stay long, but I'll stay for a while. I smiled at my big brother. Came all the way here to see me. Thanks for helping with the custodian stuff. I heard him say to Porsche. Oh, you're welcome. It was easy since you're the only living relative get to visit him once a year every year maybe twice a year.
that is understandable said Porsche every time you come down here are exposing yourself. Luther nodded or he knotted and I looked at him. I was wondering if you would take me home or take me to see his home ion he's telling me all about where I'm gonna live when I get older ask can I go now? He said no not now. It's not safe. You stay here with Porsche, but I'll come to visit Scarlet and I will come to visit. You just smiled.
I'll come for every birthday and red day. I heard him say I'll come then and I'll see you when that is fun. I smiled and thought yay brother will come for my birthday and red day. That'll be nice.
Go to that settlement you come for every red day and birthday. Yes, it's not a red day or a birthday, but I came because I needed to see where Ash was and make sure Ash was OK. You come again. Of course, I will be here again for the day and birthday, I just couldn't come for his first birthday, but I don't think it matters no I don't think so but I'll be in life the rest of his. I think Ash will be happy about it too said Porsche Porsche.
so how are you adjusting to the masters Council? It's an adjustment that's for sure and without magic. It's more difficult. You'll get your magic back again. One day Porsha said looking at my brother you'll get it back soon. It'll be a while probably 14 years from now still you'll get it back, and you'll be strong and less vulnerable only for this and for meetings to see because it's not far from where I am flying, but other than that, I cannot leave every time I do it. It makes me vulnerable. Of course it does without magic you're vulnerable and not as I hope I I'm not in Luthers too as Luther holds me, my brother I haven't gotten a hold of you. I heard him say since you were a baby now you're big again and you're gonna get bigger and you'll learn magic too. I'll make sure you have everything. I smile knowing that my brother will let me have everything I want anything I want. OK, I said.
Elise
why don't you come in? I said before you are too vulnerable out here pulling us inside I said to the two siblings and let Ash still stay in Luther's lap for a while. My portion and I went to get tea for them with Scarlet. I helped as well she sat down, like I said we won't come as often Scarlet said, but I'm glad you came. We're glad we came too. We can't stay long. I know that I said I know you can't stay long will be fine soon and you will come as often as you can yes we will come as often as we can. It's safe here. I heard Scarlet say then Lyle, I'll I said Rileyis Lyle and that could be dangerous. Oh yes, we know how dangerous Riley is. She's being punished. She needs to be punished.
and I'm glad you all came to visit for a little while we wanted to. I heard them say we wanted to come and visit for a bit you have to leave soon yes we can't stay for a long time. If it wasn't for Riley, we would move here to Orem, Scarlet said loser just not yes he said if it wasn't for that we would move here close to Blood Moon Haven then I can come down and see without being vulnerable. Go up and down as much as I'd like and it won't matter, but I can't just, punish Riley for having to not do this, I need to keep an eye on guardians. I forgot about that so I guess that's that. I guess Luther said I think Ash is happy here. Oh yes, I said Ash is happier here. They're a lot of other little children to play with and he loves it very much. He gets to play all the time and it makes him feel happy and he'll never have to work here even if Porsche says he might have to he doesn't have to. He has special privileges unlike myself which is good. Be safe and happy and knotted. Yes will be happy and grow up here and we will still be separated but enough to visit so that you're not overbearing and it won't feel like you have abandoned Ash no, I will never abandon my sibling, Luther hugged I love you. I heard him say quietly, even though he had very little emotion he showed some to his sibling, patting Ash on the head. You get to know who I am Fitz and pieces here and there, but there'll be times when I won't be coming for a long time, Ash, I heard him say.
Ash just smiled and giggled. He looked happy and content to his brother that they looked so cute siblings. Do you think you I asked him do you think that you and Miss Scarlett will ever be together like this married I mean and had kids of your own, I doubt that we don't know we're thinking about it. Scarlet said we're thinking about Elise, but we don't know for sure. We don't know if kids grow up in the environment around them. Riley would be safe unless Riley doesn't bother them we might consider having children of our own, and if we can't have any curses or whatever I will adopt children of my own that would be nice. Don't think of our own and we come to see Ash and will bring the children with us to play with Ash all the time that sounds good his nieces and nephews would be nice, wouldn't it?
they stayed for a little longer, but then eventually it was time for them to leave and say goodbye Ash I said, say goodbye to Miss Scarlet and your brother for a little while and I'll be back again when Ash asked soon Luther said, petting the head and kissing him on the head him one more hug goodbye I Scarlett tell him it's time to go yes yes you're right. Thanks for letting me visit and for us to visit anytime Porsche and Elise said at the same time that I said at the same time Porsche and I said at the same time you're always welcome thank you we're glad that.
Ash Wade goodbye. We waved goodbye as they left.
bye-bye Ash sent
Luther
I was leaving it was time I couldn't stay much longer. I stayed even though never long enough. I'll be back and I'll stay longer next time. The reason I can't stay long is that I was in the Elden for a bit and I was down below for too long there next time I'll come straight here and I'll spend a longer time. I promise Porsche and Elise and Ash too. Next time I will spend longer bonding all right then will hold you to. It said Porsche you and Scarlett can come back again. I will be back. Don't worry now we are ashes and ashes we will come here.
then I teleported away. I left Omala. I left Ash I left Porsche. I left a lease. Scarlet and I returned to ion. I was tired. It was an exhausting day. I crawled under the covers and went to bed as soon as I got changed Scarlet was tucked in good, thanks, Scarlet. Don't worry you're welcome and don't worry we'll go see as much as possible. I heard her say thank you, Scarlet. What would I do without you? I don't know. She said I don't know what you do without me and your life will be together in a different way, even without a little emotion, I showed her, my sweet Scarlet well, I promise Scarlet and to my promise I made to my sibling as well. We will be siblings, siblings forever.
even though I said that Ash had to live without me, we will be forever, siblings, an unbreakable bond that cannot be broken even if I promise that we would never see each other again. We will now that I know that my life is certain and I can live. I'm not worried now. I'm not worried. I can see Ash now. Alvin's presence is out of me. I'm not afraid of dying. I will live and I will be in as life.
and no one especially Riley is going to stop me. Riley isn't gonna stop me no Riley no you will not stop me, Riley. I will see Ash what I want whatever I want whatever those times I said I would come. You will not stop me.
I made that promise to myself as I closed my eyes and went to sleep thinking about the next time I would see my sibling. It'll probably be his birthday. That is fine with me, Ash I will come see you again soon will I do this I promise you.
but for now, good night.
I hope you enjoy this chapter amending here though I think this was successful nice and long and good getting all the perspectives Luther gets several times. Elise Riley Scarlett did not get any speaking rules except in between with other people, but don't worry I will have parts where Scarlett will be on her own too, I just wanted this part to be about the siblings and their love for each other. This whole story about them after all is a similar story to the prodigal sibling but different this time there won't be any separation or Ash running away or any of that kind of thing it's just cute friend-sibling bonding, and other things too. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you enjoy this sweet story, see you in the next chapter chapter 3 see you then.
Next chapter chapter 3
