The Former Priestess

Chapter 4: Introductions

"Who is Milamore?" asked Nii. He turned down one street and Nii followed behind him. There were a few small groups sharing the street with them. 

"She's just an old friend of ours. I've already told her about you," he said.

"How do you think she will react to me," asked Nii.

"Uh-Good, I guess," said Temii. He shrugged his shoulders. Well, she laughed when I said that Nii was Niotianian but she did help me find Nii,"he thought.

"How did we know each other?" asked Nii.

"Well, Milamore is the priestess for the goddess Lima and you were the priestess for the goddess Kilia," said Temii

"Who is the priestess for the goddess Kilia now?" said Nii.

"No one, currently. We are still trying to find someone," he said. Temmi could see  the tall green building where Milamore worked.

"It's this way," he said. They turned again. When they reached the building, Temii dragged his finger across the door. A bright blue streak trailed behind it. The door inched inwards, and Temmi pushed it open the rest of the way.

"Is this- her. You told me she would be Niotianian but I didn't-" Milamore said. The sides of her mouth turned downwards and her eyes traveled to the top of Nii's dark green hair to her shoes.

"Yes, it is" interrupted Nii. The short sentence spat out of her mouth and she said yes with an increased volume. She looked at Temii but he didn't look back at her.

"I thought you would be excited to see her," he said in a tone that wouldn't be able to be heard a few feet away.

"Why would I be. How do I know that this girl is really Lilia?" said Milamore.

"Milamore, you are better than this N-Nii also has memories of h-her death and me." cried Temmi in a low voice that seemed to be breaking away.

"Everyone knows about Lilia's death," said Milamore.

"But, she's not Silandian," said Temii.

" If she is the reincarnation of Lilia. I don't care. That girl is dead," spat  Milamore. She grabbed the door. 

"Temii, I think we should go," said Nii.

"Bye, Milamore," he said while backing out of the building. Milamore just looked at the pair.

"Are you sure I won't have the same reception with your mother?" asked Nii.

"No, I'm not sure," he said.

"What did she say about me?" asked Nii.

"Well, she said you were beautiful and accomplished. She'd always thought you were perfect for me'" he said.

"Anything else,"

"No, not really," he said. He stood in front of a door that was lavender and was at least twice as wide as the other buildings. He dragged his fingers in a circle. The door popped open revealing a woman with a cold glare and a mouth that was neither turned upwards or downwards. She had the same hue of reddish-purple hair as Temii and her skin was just as clear and smooth. 

"Who is this?" asked Temii's mother. The worlds slurred together as she murmured them.

"It's Nii. She's the reincarnation of Lilia."Temii said.

"Are you sure?" said his mother.

" Why did you bring her here? You didn't think I'll let you marry her right," said his mother. Tap.Tap. Tap.

"What was that?" asked Temii.

"Oh, One of my friends came to visit me."

"Who are you talking-" Temii said. As soon as he could see him he pushed Nii out of the room. "He can't see Nii." thought Temii.

"What is going on?" asked Nii.

"Temii, why did you bring a Niotianian here?" asked the man. His body hovered over the other three. His red eyes and dark purple hair shined from above. His red pants were shiny, and his mouth was stuck into an intimidating grin.

"Well he brought me here to tell his mother that I'm the reincarnation of Lilia," said Nii trying to hold back any inconsistency in her voice.

"That's crazy," said the man laughing. He stepped closer to Nii. She backed away towards Temii. 

"What did you tell her?" asked Kilamore. He turned towards Temii. 

" ...that I can think for myself!" said Nii. She glared at the eyed eyed man. 

"Shut up!" said Milamore.

" Lilia would not want you to do the things that you did after she died. You did not do them because of her. You did them because you are a cruel person!" yelled Nii. She reached her hand above her hips. Her face scrunched up. "Oww," she cried.

"Nii, I think we should go," he said.

"I don't want to any meet more of your little friends" said Nii. She trembled out of her room grasping her knees.
