Magic's Violence Record

Chapter 9: Sisterly Love

        Serenade slowly gets out of bed, and trudges to her bathroom. It was still relatively empty besides basic necessities like a toothbrush, a hairbrush, and other things. It's been a few days since she moved in, and life has been monotone for her. She continues to train, but not as frequently, considering she doesn't have a reason to. Rosè was mostly busy with public matters anyway, and she only got to see Jen at work, (who refused to train with her.) Not that she couldn't do it alone, it was just draining.
Lately, her sister had been on her mind. She had no idea how she was doing. Thankfully, she was able to know where her sister was due to the hologram. She had checked, and she was in a reality called Empatie, but Serenade hadn't actually gone to find her. She didn't want to go alone. Today though, she was off, and figured it was a perfect time to go find her.

"Hey Rosè! I have a question!" Serenade says over the phone, still brushing her teeth.

"What's up?" Rosè asks.

"I know you're probably busy.. but I was thinking of going to another reality to find my sister, and I don't want to go alone." Serenade whines.

"I mean.. I was kinda busy, but now I'm interested. Since when have you had a sister, girl?" Rosè asks, her tone shifting.

"Since I got here! But she's in another reality, and god knows what it's like.. It could be full of monsters and stuff. Shifters don't usually just waltz into unknown realities, ya know?" Serenade says, proceeding to spit into the sink.

"Ew, are you brushing your teeth? It could've waited. But like, yeah, I'll go with you. Just keep it short, I only get small vacas." Rosè says, proceeding to yell out to a butler. "I'll be at your house soon." Rosè says, hanging up.

"Jeez.. I wasn't expecting her to be so eager to go.. let alone right now." Serenade says, now rushing to pull on her clothes and apply her makeup. "I hope she likes me! I wonder what she looks like.." Serenade grins. She was applying blush by the time she'd heard a honk outside.
Since her room was on the second story, she rushed downstairs. By then, Rosè's limo was already driving off, and Rosè bumped past her to get inside and flop on the couch. "So like, tell me about your sister." She says.
"That's the thing! I don't even know anything about her! I only know the area she's in, which is barely any info considering how massive regions can be.. but I can find her, I know I can!" Serenade says hopefully. "I mean, she's a part of me technically, so I'd feel her if she's close."
"Feel her? That's sisterly love for sure.." Rosè smirks. "Not like I can talk. But I don't think that's how it works."
"No, you don't get it! She's literally a part of me, we were one person, but we split into two people." Serenade says casually.
"Girl.. are you ok?" Rosè scoots backward, considering calling a mental health facility.
"I'm not crazy! We were like a goddess once, the goddess of shifting, but then there was another goddess of shifting too, and we got into a fight I'm pretty sure, but she dealt such severe damage we split into two consciousnesses, and the explosion killed her.. I hope so. Wait, that's mean.." Serenade rambles. "Look, I don't remember a lot before that. But I met Elitra, I promise! She made me a goddess! Maybe that's why I'm super strong and powerful!" She boasts.
"Yeah.. okay girl. I mean, I guess it makes a bit of sense considering you also just.. appeared here. And don't have your sister. But the goddess part is.. something. If I were actually talking to a goddess, I'm sure I'd feel something." Rosè says in disbelief.
"Well, I'm not a goddess anymore, duh! I wish I could prove it.." Serenade laments. "Splitting is something shifters can do when in danger, but it's not only extremely difficult, it's very unheard of. Nobody even talks about it! And the worst part is, sometimes consciousnesses can get stuck in the same body. Like they can split, and be in the same body. One can even have more control! I think that's enough to make someone go insane.."
Rosè blinks. "I understood literally none of that. Can we just get going..?" Rosè mutters.
