A Myriad of Mysteries

Epilouge

Five years after the marticules vanished.

"Are you not the most precious things?" Seira excitedly talked as she stared at the new born infants inside the small crib. They had aumbre hair and eyes like Eirisinia, their mother. "Reiynia and Zeirio, those names are perfect."

"Why would you give those names to my children, Mother?" Eirisinia asked as she lay in bed with Reyzenar seated by her side.

Izin took a peak at the twins and smiled. He kneeled down and continued to stare at them.

"Those names just feel right," Seira smiled as she kept staring at the sleeping children. Izin wrapped his arms around her and they both fawned over the twins.

Seven years after the marticules vanished.

They all stood at the front of the gates. Reyzenar had a large bag behind his back as he carried two twenty four month old children in his arms.

"We will be away for a few years," Eirisinia hugged her mother and father goodbye. Her parents gave her a kiss on the cheek and forehead before saying goodbye. "We will return once they learn how to control their abilities." Eirisinia took the baby girl from Reyzenar's arms.

"Take care," Seira waved good bye.

"We'll be here if you need anything," Izin shouted when they were far away.

Twelve years after the marticules vanished.

"The stone of desire is able to grant wishes, however, it also takes something in return," Eirisinia read a book while both her children sat beside her on an old comfy sofa.

"How come all the marticules just suddenly vanished, Mother?" Reiynia asked as she put her fingers over the sentences in the book.

"I am not really certain," She answered as she removed the girl's hand and closed the book gently. "However, are you both simply distracting me so you do not need to study about conjurations?"

"It was Reiynia's idea," Zeirio ran out of the house as he said those words.

Reiynia ran after him and bickered, "Why do you always blame me, brother!"

"This amulet should temporarily stabalize their power," Izin gave an amulet to Reyzenar.

"This looks familair," Reyzenar held up the amulet with half a sun and half the moon.

"Is it?" Izin shrugged his shoulders. "Give them to one of the twins and it should work. Now, go back early so your family won't worry about you."

"Got it," Reyzenar clutched the amulet tightly. "Thank you father and tell mother I said hi."

Seventeen years after the marticules vanished.

"Where have you two been?" Eirisinia worriedly asked as she stared at her children's dusty, torn and altered clothes.

"We brought someone with us," Zeirio said as he and Reiynia dragged a man fully covered in black cloth.

"Reyzenar? You're finally back from your trip," she smiled before giving him a hug.

He removed the cloth on his face and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Where have you two been? I have been looking for you for hours and what happened to your clothes and your faces are very dirty," Eirisinia held their faces and looked the twins in the eyes.

"You would not believe where we have been," Reiynia said with wide eyes.

"There was this girl who looked a lot like you and a man who also looked a lot like father," Zeirio excitedly says.

"Really?" Eirisinia held both their hands and went into their home. "What was she like?"

"Very different from you," Reiynia spoke with pure confidence.

"Oh dear, I forgot to mention," Eirisinia kneeled down to face them. "Someone is here to visit you."

She opened the door and a girl with dark hair and pink eyes was sitting on the table drinking a cup of water.

"Dalia, did you accompany them?" Eirisinia asked the girl.

She swallowed her drink and immediately stood up straight, "Yes princess, they are waiting in the living room."

"Princess?" Reiynia burried her eyes at the stranger before looking at her mother's smiling face.

Zeirio hid behind Reiynia and just stared at the stranger.

"My, you both have grown up so much," the lady removed her stern attitude and smiled.

"You have grown up as well, Dalia," Eirisinia pointed out.

"How are your parents doing?" Reyzenar asked her.

"They are both doing well and they told me to say hi to the both of you," she continued smiling before she sat back down.

Reyzenar took a red juicy apple from the fruit bowl and tossed it towards Dalia, "Eat a bit before you leave." The girl nodded and began munching on the fruit. Each bite she took had a crunchy sound.

"Come on, they are waiting for you," Eirisinia lead the twins to their living room. "It is time for you both to meet your grandparents."

The twins looked at each other with visible confusion. On the sofa, they saw Seira and Izin, both with gray hair siting comfortably while reading a few books that were on the table.

"Queen Seira, Sir Izin," both Reiynia and Zeirio exclaimed at the same time.

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

"Indeed," Seira said as she kneeled down to hug the twins and offered Reiynia her hand. Izin also kneeled down and gave her his hand. "Our minds will explain everything."
