OC x Pyra/Mythra

34

Kai POV

For the moment, I was free of my emotions, something about the light that Mythra used seemed to purify me, allowing me to cage the emotion again. It’s been a few days since the battle at Olethro, and my victory over the mystery emotion has held. Now we were back, to have Vandham’s funeral, because it is traditional that a mercenary is buried where they fell.

Dromarch: The body may die, but never the soul, which is merely passed on. Souls flow onward, born and reborn, forever part of the great ether stream.

Tora: Why friends make grave here? Can we not take Biggipon home to village?

Azurda: He'd want to be buried where he fell. It is traditional amongst mercenaries.

Iona: I'm so sorry, Vandham… If only I hadn't listened to those people, you'd still be… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry...!

Rex: It's not your fault. No matter what, those guys would have tracked us down eventually. What matters is that Vandham saved all our lives. For now, let's just be grateful to him...for that.

Iona: You're right...

Rex: I won't forget your words, Vandham. Ever. I'll fight my own war. With Pyra. 

Rex noticed Pyra approaching us

Rex: Pyra...? Are you all right?

Pyra: Yes...

Kai: She’s lying.

Rex: Good. I was worried that you might not... wake up…

An uncomfortable silence fell over our group

Rex: Pyra, you know I've got to ask. That thing that happened yesterday… You called yourself "Mythra"?

Pyra: What? I - I, um...

I started to rub her back, trying to get her to calm down. I didn’t care if she was an alter self constructed by some blonde with light powers. Pyra was still Pyra, and I still care about her.

Nia: I'd like to hear that, too. That power...it wasn't normal. Is that the true power of the Aegis? I think you owe us an explanation. It was pretty crazy.

Tora: Tora want to know too. Pyra was super strong! Why so strong? Huh?

Azurda: Now, now, don't pressure the girl...

Pyra: Well, um... The thing is... I mean...

A blinding light enveloped her, and I stepped away. As Mythra appeared in her place

Kai: So they switch places, it’s not Multiple Personality Disorder, they are both as real as the other.

Everyone: Ahh!

Rex: P-Pyra...?

Mythra: Why?

Kai: She is not happy

Rex: Huh?

Mythra: Why did you wake me up?!

Rex: Huh? What?

Mythra: I didn't want to wake up... I didn't want to come back! I left everything to her so I'd never have to use that power again! But then you woke me up!

Rex: W-woke you up...?

Mythra: If you hadn't been so useless, none of this would have happened! I wouldn't have had to use this power! Didn't you listen to that Vandham guy? He told you to hold back! He told you to run! But you just had to push yourself. Idiot. Look where it's got us now!

Rex: You-

Mythra: You really messed up.

Rex: You don't have to tell me that! I know, all right?! I knew I was being an idiot.
