Unforgettable Memories | Xiao x Reader

Chapter Nineteen

"Sure she's smiling but don't let that fool you. Look into her eyes and you'll see she's breaking inside."

~~~~~~

"I can give you back your memories," Lumine said.

The moment you heard that phrase, it has been repeating in your mind over and over again. This was the change of a lifetime, a chance to find out the truth of who you were.

But, at the same time, the trustworthiness of Lumine was questionable. Not only did she kidnap you, you didn't know her full capabilities. She could put false memories into you. That was a fact that couldn't be looked past.

Was she trustworthy?

"How," you wondered, thinking about what the process to regaining your memories were.

"Like I said earlier," Lumine said with a melancholy look in her eyes. "I was the one that brought you back into this world."

"How is that even possible," you scoffed.

Xiao had told you that you had saved him back in the Archon War and because of that, your soul was destroyed, eradicated. Putting the two stories together, it really did seem like you died. It was a fact that seemed the most trustworthy out of all the things that you ahd heard.

But, now the question was how did Lumine revive you?

"I-"

Staring at the girl who seemed hesitant to answer, you knew something was wrong. There was something far too suspicious about her reaction.

Sighing, Lumine stared at the ground, "I created the Abyss Order to collect energy to revive you. I'm sure you've heard about all the things that we have done but, I did it all in hopes to bring you back. You had died how many many years ago. Aether and I couldn't bare seeing your death especially to save that adeptus. Aether had loved you and was heartbroken by your death that he repressed all memories of the past when we had been here before."

"What do you mean you've been here before?" You questioned, catching her unusual sentence.

"Aether and I have a special ability to traverse worlds," Lumine explained. "We cam here nearly four thousand years ago and met you."

"Four thousand years ago!" You exclaimed, the calm that you had built up suddenly disappearing. "There's no way that I lived that long."

"Its true," Lumine said, her hands gripping the bed sheets. "We first met such a long time ago. We stayed here for around 20 years before having to leave. During those years, the three of us, you, Aether, and me had gotten close. But soon enough we had to leave because we didn't want to overstay our time here. We were heartbroken having to leave you."

"But who am I?" You questioned, your mind blank from hearing Lumine's explanation of things. "Just who am I? You and Aether can travel to different worlds and you met me. But how was I alive all those years ago?"

A silence covered the room, neither of you wanted to be the first to talk. The air had become tense after your questions.

It was so big to wrap your mind around. All these new things being thrown at you, all these stories about your past with other people.
