99: Kokichi

"I think that it may have something to do with the elementals and Hess's relationship with Syn." I said to Shuichi before he looked into my eyes with a worried expression. "But that means that this elemental..." He started to whisper before Syn spoke to me.

Here, it's time to show you the past. Maybe that can enlighten the situation.

"Okay." I said to her before we looked at the art on the walls. It seemed to show the past of Syn gaining the powers she now has. But there was something else. There were some gears around the room on the floor where the walls hit the floor. "Wait a minute..." I whispered before I walked over to the gears and held my hands out.

I need to move these gears and maybe we will be able to see what is behind the walls that we see now. Maybe on the other side there could be some secret compartment. As I was able to use my powers yet again I was able to guide the wall to show what it was hiding behind it. It was a large mural where the true history seemed to be shown.

There was fire, destruction, and a small home. It seemed like this home was where Hess and Syn lived. Seeing as the first image where the mural started showed them in their home before Hess seemed terribly panicked. The home was disappearing from view as it then showed Syn who had some marks on her arms that looked horribly painful.

"I remember seeing this when I was in Hess's body in the mind scape." Shuichi said before he moved over to hug me with tears in his eyes.

I looked back up at the house that was crumbling in front of me. Now it was only a couple of yards in front of me and cracking and crumbling because very small glass panels tore away from it before I was moved inside the house. There was Syn in there and she was in tears.

"Syn what's wrong?" I was about to say before another Hess came into the room and walked through me like a ghost. It was an odd feeling but I just watched the situation. Hess moved so Syn was in her arms. This action revealed to me that Syn had a large symbol cut into her arm, it seemed to say the word sinner on it. Hess gently brushed her fingers over her cheeks.

"It's okay baby, it's okay" She whispered again and again as desperation filled her voice. The whole roof came off in one halting motion as a red light came in front of them. Hess moved so she was standing between the creature and Syn.

"Don't touch her! I know what you did!" She screamed at the creature before some unintelligible words were said between them as the scene faded. I was left alone in the dark contemplating the things I have just seen and heard from the two of them. The house scene faded away before my eyes...and I was left alone in a dark room.

Who did that to Syn?

Was it that creature?

How was it able to do that...and why was Hess so worried about it?

Has this happened to them before?

Maybe this is how they both became the elementals they were today?

My head was full of so many questions I knew I wouldn't be able to get the answer to...but I did wonder about one thing. They were embracing each other...so how did that work? And how long ago was this?

Wait but then they were able to touch each other...and now they can't, right?

So what happened to them?

I frowned at this. Syn and Hess must have been trying to live together...but because of whatever that creature was they were unable to be together. I'm assuming that the gods must be homophobic? Can gods be homophobic?
