Chapter Nineteen

I'm finally back, biotches!

Canissa's POV

"What?!" I asked.

Haiki frowned. I must admit that he looks cute frowning, though I'll die before telling him that. "Aren't you Princess Canissa Dorjina DeGel, Princess of the Underworld and Half Princess of the Heavens, Fourth Child of the Demon King and Angel Queen, Sister of Zeref DeGel (Spoiler alert!: I just realized that Zeref's last name is actually Dragneel O_O)." Haiki said all in one breath.

Silas whistled lowly. "How do you manage to remember that, Haiki?"

Haiki looked over at him and shrugged. "Back in the demon world, we were required to learn about the Royal Family." Haiki then looked back at me.

"So," He said. "Are you?"

Suddenly, I felt like I was choking. I was sweating profusely. I tried to talk but no words came out.

"Leave the poor girl alone." A voice said. A voice I knew so well. My own voice.

I whipped my head around in shock and saw that it was Cania, the hooded guild member.

"W-why do-" I started.

"We have the same voices." She said flatly. "That's because-"

"Are you sure you want her to know?" Rona asked worriedly.

"Yes, Rona, I do." She sighed. "Anyways, we have the same voice because...well..." She sighed again. "Actions speak louder than words." She muttered and took off her hood.

What surprised was that what I saw was my exact same features. My black hair, my violet-magenta irises, she looked exactly like me.

"W-what?!" I stammered the second time today.

"My name is Canissa Dorjia Skiess. I'm your Edolas counter-part." She said.

"W-why are you here? Wait, no, the question is, how are you here?" I asked.

"Well...I'm so not going into the details now, but hey, I can always tell you later. What I need to tell you now is that we, Fallen Angels, are here to help you. We can help you find Lucinda and-"

"Wait!" I all but shouted. "What about my sister?" I widened my eyes.

"She's not dead. Don't know how, but she's not." Silas said.

"Don't tell she's in Edolas." I grumbled.

Rona chuckled. "She's not." Rona assured me. "But she's not in this universe."

"Where is she then?!" I screamed.

"Whoa, gee, calm down." Haiki rolled his eyes.

"This is the princess you're talking to." I grumbled.

Haiki's eyes grew bigger than saucers. "Wait, so you are the princess?!"

"Haiki, shut up. We're getting side-tracked here." Silas said.

My counterpart nodded thankfully at Silas before continuing. "Anyways, she's not in this universe. She's not in the Celestial World, nor is she in Edolas or Dragon World and she most definitely isn't here in Ishgar. Now, there's thousands of other worlds out there like the Fairy World, Mermaid World, and the Dead World. But, the three biggest possibilities of where Lucinda is is the Demon World, the Angel World, and the Lone Stars Island."

"What's the Lone Stars Island?" I asked.

"It's this huge floating island that stars like to surround. The population there is 0, there isn't any living thing there." Hasani explained, talking for the first time today.

"Then why do you think she's there?" I asked.

"I study the stars and space. I've been having a huge interest in Lone Stars Island and have been studying it for the past 2 years. Just a few months ago, though, the island seemed to have some changes." My counterpart explained.

"What changes?" I asked.

"Well, for example, there's this huge crater that the stars surround more than they surround the other parts of the island. I used my magic binoculars and saw that water was flooding a certain part of the island. I would go to that island to investigate, but the stars protect it well, so going there would mean having a death wish."

Lone Stars Island. Lone Stars. Lone Stars. Lon Sta. Lona Estars. Es na Aluna on de Estars! "Is there another name for the island?" I asked.

"Yes," Haiki answered. "But it doesn't make sense. It's half Demonish, but that's all we can get out of it."

"What is it?" I asked.

"Aluna Estars." Haiki answered. "I get the 'stars' part but I don't get the 'Aluna' part.

"It's part Demonish and part Angelish. It means 'Queen Stars'. Es da Aluna on de Estars."

"And what does that mean?" Rona asked.

I let out a shaky breath. "'For the Queen of the Stars.'" I answered.

"That's it!" Haiki exclaimed. "She's there, I know it!!!"
