Way Back When: A Backstory Tale

Unknown
For the next week, the twins recieved new training in the Ephidian castle. Gramorr taught them everything they needed to know about dark magic, all the spells, everything. He even taught them to teleport.
Their new magic changed the twins for the worse, they became less fogiving, crueler, and more violent than before.
When he felt that the twins were ready, Gramorr gave them new outfits to wear, these were their uniforms from now on.
Praxina was given an outfit that was black, grey, white, and red. It was a dress with a grey cape, black and red gloves and leggings, and black heels.
Mephisto was given an outfit similar to his sisters, only his had green instead of red. He was given a new top, cape, shoes, gloves, and pants.
Along with their new behaviour and outfits, the twins also gave themselves new appearnces besides the outfits.
Praxina let her hair down and let it hang over the left side of her face. Her father used to say that she should have done this before, so she is now, in honor of him.
Mephisto left his hair alone, but he always wore his hair clip.
Praxina also wore hers too.
The twins almost never took them off. This was due to the fact that those clips were special to them. They were from their parents, and the twins wanted to keep their parents close somehow. This was the only way they could think of.
Soon enough, it was time to send the twins to earth. Gramorr sent them there and warned them about failure. He also told them to never mention their parents to the princesses. The plan would be ruined then, according to Gramorr. And as always, the twins agreed to follow his orders. That's why the twins almost never talk about their parents anymore, but they both think about them everyday.
Now the twins are on earth and have found their perfect hideout: a cave on a cliff. This was to be their new home from now on.
But that doesn't mean they liked it.

Praxina
I can't believe that this is the dump that Iris was sent to. It's awful here! There's annoying humans everywhere and strange looking animals in the forests. It disgusts me!
"I can't believe this place!" I exclaim to my brother.
My twin looks over at me from where he's standing and he frowns.
"I know. It's horrible," he replies.
"I can't wait to get out of here," I say, walking over to Mephisto to stand beside him.
I glance at him. Ever since we got these new outfits I've been doing this a lot. I think we look awesome, but I'm not ever going to tell him that.
I go to brush the hair from my face, then I stop myself. This is my hair style now. I leave my hair alone.
Mephisto sighs.
"I sure hope we get this over with soon. This place sucks," he says, staring at the waterfall that was in this cave. It's what we'll use to communicate with Gramorr, our new master.
"Me too," I reply.
"Happy seventeenth birthday to us! It's the best birthday ever," Mephisto says sarcasticly.
"Yeah, totally," I mumble back.
Today is our seventeenth birthday, but it hasn't been a happy one. This is by far the worst birthday ever, and I hate it.
Mephisto sighs again then goes quiet.
"Well, should we think of our plan?" Mephisto says eventually.
I smirk evily.
"Of course."

Mephisto
Earth is officially my least favourite planet. It's awful here! I literally can't think of one good thing about it! Well, okay, I like our cave, but that's the only thing I like!
After making our plan, Prax and I created our living space behind the waterfall. It's like our old home that we had to abandon back in Runic, but it certainly doesn't feel like home.
I lay down on my new bed in my new room and sigh.
"I seriously don't want to be here," I think to myself.
I hate earth, and those stupid princesses who took my parents from us.
"Our parents," I think.
Suddenly my eyes are filled with tears and I sit up so I'm sitting on the edge of my bed.
This is our first birthday without them, and I miss them. So much.
A single tear falls down my face and I swipe it away.
"No, I have to stay strong," I tell myself as I will myself not to cry.
As an attempt to distract myself, I glance around my new room, but my vision is quickly blurred. I had just realized how much this place feels so lonely.
I sigh, then I reach up to touch my hair clip. And that's when I lose it.
All of the tears that I've held back over the past week, including today, come pouring down my face.
I can't stop them, and soon I'm sobbing.
"Stop it! Stop crying, damn it!" I tell myself.
But I can't. So I cry until I can't breathe. I cry until I have absolutely no tears left in my body. I cry because I miss my parents, and I want them back.
Once I finally get myself to calm down, I take my hands away from my face and stare at my lap for a while. As I'm doing so, I catch my breath and think about the princesses once again.
That's I'm hit with a wave of anger.
"This is all those damned princesses fault!" I think in rage.
"All their damned fault!"
It was then that I hated them. I hated them with every inch of my being. And I wanted them handed over to Gramorr.
So that's what I'm going to do. Give Gramorr those brats so they can suffer the way they deserve.
And I can't wait to do it. The sooner I see my parents again, the damn better.
"This is going to be hell," I think.
Then I smile evily.
"Let's do it."
