I wonder if we should bring some of the others in on this. I think that another perspective would be good. But not Xania, she's too cheery for this. Would probably overreact to everything. Xaven maybe, but he's too much of an introvert. Sybel could give us good insight, how 'bout her? I knew you'd agree. I guess she gets the next part.
Well, back to the... um... story? Meh.
Sybel teleports like five times, and then mom asks her to teleport to a certain point.
"Ok..." Sybel says, uncertainty in her voice. She teleports over, and misses by about a foot, landing on a pointy rock. "Oww..." She has a cut on her leg. Mom heals it up quick.
"That all you can do?" Mom asks.
"No, but it's what I'm starting with." Sybel now has an evil smile. "Watch this." Sybel walks away from everything, until she is standing in the middle of the back yard. Her right half of her body lights on fire, while her left half of her body slowly leaks water. She sends a dragon made of fire and a dragon made of water into the air, they swirl and combine, and turn to hit a nearby tree. "Sorry about the tree, when I create the Shacaheas it must hit something. And I thought better a tree than a person."
"Shacaheas?" Mom says. "Isn't that Sacheed for Flame-Water? Makes sense, but how did you know to call it that?"
"A man called Aaanexa saw me make it, and told me what to call it." Sybel says.
"Aaanexa?" Xania and I say at the same time.
"Yeah, why? Is he a friend of yours? Is he dangerous?" Sybel asks, beginning to worry.
That night, as Sybel, Mom, and Dad sleep, Xania, Xaven, David and I are all gathered in my room.
"You all know why we're here, right?" I whisper.
"Aaanexa." David says. I realize how nobody told him about it, but before I can ask, David says,
"Xaven told me. That plus sibling ESP, remember?"
I nodded, almost thoroughly confused, but decide to roll with it.
"First, David and I summon Xania and Xaven. We learn about the "Aaanexa Fossil," it proclaiming itself to be a god, then, Sybel comes around and says that a guy named Aaanexa helped her name the Shacaheas. Who the heck is Aaanexa?" I say. I turn to my television and my ConsoleGame 666. Turning both on, I open the browser. I put in the search bar, "Who or what is the Aaanexa Fossil???". What I see, was almost (ALMOST) unexpected.
The Aaanexa Fossil is a god worshiped mainly by the Sacheeds and the Atlantean Secret Society known as SacheeD. The Sacheed civilization was almost equal to the Atlanteans, barely unable to move a Mega Island out of the solar system and to the nearest star system, like the Atlanteans did. It is said that the Sacheeds descended from the few Atlanteans who opted to stay behind. All of which, were in the SacheeD. They worshiped this god, who gave the King BloodLine and truest believers the greatest power, a mix of shapeshifting, teleportation, and magic. Their greatest hint was their hair. Pink, and then black. Exactly like Sybel. The rest just got magic or they could transform into a ten tailed beast. I understand Xania and Xaven, they Worship Aaanexa, but are unsure whether or not he's real, so they got the transformation at a young age. For us I guess we get magic from bloodline alone. I'm constantly reminded that we have powers because mom likes to use her fire to heat almost anything she can. There was also two more people. Prophets of Aaanexa, Immortal, and extremely magical, more power than the Kings had. The ability to shapeshift into anything desired, more Magic than anyone else, Unable to be exhausted, the power of Flight. Merlin and Nerlin.
We sit in silence. All realizing a few things at slightly different times. Atlantis was real.
Sybel must be of a King BloodLine. Shadahe are the descendants of the Sacheed. Aaanexa is a real god.
"Uhh... " I say, unsure on how to respond to that. Just then, we all hear a light knock on the door. "Come in..." I say. Sybel transports in front of us, but before she can say anything, I point at the screen, and say, "Read." It takes only a minute until Sybel realizes all the things we already do.
"Hey..." She looks at Xania, "How do you usually transform?"
"Uh... I, uh, usually just think of my favorite animal, seeing as it's also the animal I turn into." Xania looks down.
"Open the window, please." Sybel points to the window in my room, which is only big enough for a human to go through. David opens it. Just before Sybel jumps out of the 3rd story window, I remember that it's a straight drop. But she's already out. And she is a bat. A four winged bat. She flies back inside and transforms back into herself again.
"Trippy." She looks at David.
"Your favorite animal is a bat?" David smiles. "Mine too."
"Aww! You two are just meant to be!" I say, sarcasm dripping from every word. "Now let's all get some sleep. I'll make sure you two are apart the whole night." I point at Sybel and David, who are now in close proximity. Sybel transports behind me to punch me in the small of my back, and David is trying desperately not to smile, though everyone can tell what he is feeling. He really does blush a lot.
