A world of a thousand worlds

winter chapter - 1

(POV pa rin ni Areeyah)

I just wanna stop. My hands are loosening from the strangling I gave earlier.

But this monster started to chuckle, pulling it's zipper down across it's face.

"Missed me, did ya?" asked by the soft glowed blush.

Whose name I thought was dead.

Lisa

I hugged her tightly. I just don't want to say or do something. I just want to hold her close to me like this, just enough for me.

"I guess you missed me that enough." she smiled, I released space.

"How was my entrance?" flicking her hands side wards.

"Jaw dropping." Trinity said. "What the hell was wrong with you, us, got attacked by a blood-thirsty mercenary-" Trinity's attention was caught with the attacker who was in the arms of our friend.

"She's my-" 'she' disappeared. "She's an introvert, by the way."

We went back to our 'dorm', which we also call, our Headquarters. I made the powdered hot chocolate with ice, served in our mugs.

"So did I really damaged something that bad?" she asked once again. Anyone said no word. "Basically it can still regenerate through my covering powers, you're welcome very much." drinking from her cup.

"(Nadiscover ninyo na ba ung inyo?") with that simply question, well I have an answer in mind.

"Mine, as autumn," I put my hand in my chest. "I have the ability of controlling the wind, cooling the island." smiling, making my 'roomies' (room mates) smile as well. "Clarity preserves the temperature of the land. And Trinity's presence ripens and giving plentiful scent and growth for the plants and flowers." Lisa places her empty mug in the coffee table. "How about Gretchen, any news for her?" the three of us; Trinity, Clarity and I, looked at one another. "Should I tell her?" Trinity tensely asked, I nodded slowly. "You wouldn't mind, do you?" with a warily tone, Trinity swallows her nervousness. 

"Okay, so," Trinity starts. "After a week since you left, and we claimed Areeyah a day before. Before she left, we all guessed that she was going to a vacation. But not." 

"Yet, she also said: 'Look, I'm not just staying here any longer anymore. I'm going to find someone who will like me back somewhere. Because an old slut stole that someone who I have been yearning to have, it's better that's she's gone and even won't ever coming back. I don't care, if you're ever going to remove me, go ahead. I never wanted or was thinking about joining this stupid grouping which our mothers passed us.'," she paused.    

 "We can't do anything about it. She was 'temporarily' replaced with Hageshi." Trinity added. Lisa says no word; at all.

"Of course," she broke it. "(Ganyan naman lagi eh, ako naman laging sinisisi eh.)" her face staring down. "(Wala naman talagang alam yun kundhi ppakikipaglandian eh.) she calms down, she stares at her reflection in the coffee table. She kept this for how many days with her? I must at least change the topic to make her feel better.

"So what happened to you in 5 years?" will that question change her emotions for the moment? Pleeasse doooo..."5 years?" she repeated. "I was gone for 5 years?" she combed her hair back. She was gone for not-exactly 5 years. "I don't get it." Trinity frowned. "Same." says Clarity.

"It's 5 years in exact." Clarity concluded. "I have to admit, this is a discovery of mine," Lisa places her silvery hair in the back. "I was gone for approximately 10 years." she straightens up. "How did that happened?" this is interesting though. "Actually," I am so excited. "Hearts of the Seasons or not, Camryns, Scarforts, Elcaenten, whatever resides this island was extended the timeline rather than, the which I will call, the Average Timeline. I was moved to Sweden, Aland Islands." this is really, really, tense. With her, discovered something, it's always this exciting! I never felt like this again ever since the last 7 years. 

"My powers; not working, my Camryn blood seems to be hidden. My 'human' blood flowing like it's average, where I really felt not a Camryn anymore." Lisa is not good at explaining things, because she gives the explained thing itself already. "And that's where I met her; in a side of a dark alleyway," she pointed between us; me and Clarity.

"Her name is Cossette, and she became my 3rd Subordinate."

In my eyes, who she calls Cossette, was the mercenary who attacked us; me and Trinity.

But instead what she was wearing before, instead of her skin-tight, black and gray armor, with teal accents, with her helmet the same color palette. Her hair; bangs slicked in the back of her head with few stray hairs sticking in front.

What she is now, makes her look more of the quiet, and 'innocent',

From top to bottom, her hair is tied in two ponytails in both sides of her head with navy ribbons. Her hair, lighter than pale blonde, but not almost like Ron's or Lisa's. In the end, which are 'naturally' ombre in teal, the same as her armor's. As for her dress, which seems familiar from here, white with blue linings. And her bow tie's color is the same as her hair ties. As her history indicates the present wounds she had before, her arms and legs are covered with bandages, but she is also wearing navy knee socks. 

Her name is familiar to movie character's...but that might be a coincidence, though.

Lisa placed her hand atop of her mannequin-like sister, "well her full name is... Cosephine "Cossette" Airin Ängen Nuellas Agoncillo del Caprio." as expected from her name, 

Lisa is no different semi-full Camryn.
