Aeterna Mollitiam.
It was Eternal Resilience in Latin. The ancestral book itself existed in 1850, generation by generation it was passed down to elderly who can maintain peace and order amongst all young and curious minds of each clan. If we'll go back to how it was handed down to generations from generations, it would be hell and chaos. How it has been in the hands of the present family now? The book itself pressed unto a realm for safe keeping, however, it was taken by the one and only person who can protect and conquer everything.
Everyone is confused, agitated, tired, drained, silent, and just simply out of their wits. Every Gauniver's eyes can reflect every emotion and even their desperation for this time. Mutters and whispers can be heard as servants and the remaining Gauniver is assisting their other siblings without a doubt. "Why do we have to be at this state?" Isla muttered while being carried by Eiko. She's still crying silently as it was the gravest mistake that she had done.
"You all have done well, my dearest. Hush now. we'll escort all of you first before we could discuss the specifics of what did just happened." Eiko sounded to Isla. It was a lullaby that made her close her eyes and sleep.
The servants and the people of their eldest sister, Illa, helped since everyone is not in shape to handle their siblings. Chaos, if that is what we have to say for a word while seeing this siblings being cared and nurtured by the servants carefully. Hours passed, as if the private rooms and corridors are silent, devastation is heard. Groans, moans of pain, screams of terror is heard if a person will move their way towards there. Opening the first door, Axis came out with a massive headache, next to her is their older brother, Urse asking if his younger sister is okay even though he's feeling pain. It was like a domino, everyone is awake and now striding their way towards the library even though there eldest said dinner shall commence when they are all awake, they did not obliged. It was cruel for them, groaning and moaning because of the excruciating pain that they are feeling as an after effect of the simulation.
"Good evening, my dearest siblings." Illa said while welcoming her siblings going inside the library one by one. "I hope you had enough rest for this discussion." She said without any humor from her voice. Everyone groaned as an answer while the others who are okay, just shrugged their shoulders as if it was normal.
"I already told you the family secret is all of us. We are like a blood family. However, we are all the peculiar sons and daughters of Chase and Hera. Have you ever thought why some of you have so much differences? From Ulye, Axis, Exie, Urse, Eros, and Eura, comprehend how they are different from us. They got the peculiarity of our Father, Chase. While the rest are all from our Mother, Hera.
"It was exquisite having siblings who are different yet it cannot deny any of us, being at a disadvantage from them. It's still not a competition, it is holding the honor of being their sons and daughter. We are blessed. From wealth, status, power, all of it, we are all one, as a family not an enemy for superficial talks." Illa said while looking her siblings who's bowing their heads and looking away from her direction. Afraid of meeting her gaze that would meet her judgment and scolding internally.
"We don't mind actually. It was fun watching your dreams connecting like a dot. The deepest depths that made you be stuck inside a realm and all those fun stuff is just a gradual simulation that took up all of your energy. Well, it was harsh, yes, but you guys can't stop bickering that's why you have to be the subject of--- Ulye was interrupted from speaking when her sister, Isla immediately retorted.
"A subject?! What are we? An experiment?! We're gradually humans! Except for those who have abilities. But still!"
"Can we go home?"
"Agree?"
"I second the motion."
"Can we sleep?"
"Can we eat?"
"Can we smoke now?"
"Can we acquire a sex slave now?"
The room became silent because of the last sentiment, no one dared to talk or even moved a muscle. It was deafening and uncool. In addition, tension is felt inside the room itself, as if it was an internal war waging its way towards this very place. Their sharp gazes, glowing eyes from the peculiars one while anger and wrath is seen from others. "Stop! This is what Ulye was saying. You all cannot stop bickering and strangling each of our necks. Hold your horses will you? You are all smart, comprehension is needed. This was supposed to be a vacation but all of you started fighting inside the office. We can seriously hear you because Ulye, Alec, Erah, Aren, Aise, Acie Enzo and I are already here. Is that how you guys do when you taste freedom?
"Note that the eight of us weren't in the light of freedom but in the shadows of it. We couldn't even taste it freely. If we go, all of you will be in danger. While Illa protected all of us. How many are we? More than ten and basically she was more worried from you rather than us. We saw how cruel the world is. And good thing, one peculiar caught up, right Axeianon? Can you guys just shut up sometimes? Can you just welcome us back home?" Eiko spoke as if lecturing everyone from how they are behaving. Of course, the only one who's looking at him is none other than, Isla, a sly smile is seen through her lips.
Another deafening silence was visible not until someone spoke making everyone's realizations disappear in an instant. "This is still a vacation, right?" Elys said while looking at her long pink nails. Elys never received an answer but instead a flying throw pillow that made everyone laugh hard.
"Such mean creatures! I hate you guys!" Her high-pitched brat whining echoed inside the room made everyone laugh even harder. Eura, Aise, Acie and Ivie came to tame her and hush her like a baby. Eiah, Eros and Iver were just there, trying to fight the asses of the demons in their dreams. While Urse and Ache are having a talk with Aren, Alec and Enzo. While Erah, Ulye, Axis, and Asha are teaching each other about history of the universe and species. Iris, Eves, Illa, Isla, and Eiko are talking and clearing every misunderstandings that has been circulating ever since everyone came up from their undeniable dreams.
"Let's have barbecue outside. The waves and the pool is calling us. Let's have this for us." Illa said while smiling from ear to ear. Her emotions are slowly showing. Thinking of it as a curse that has to be hidden for the sake of her loved one's. However, her cover has been blown when she saw how the faces of her siblings have lighten up because of joy and excitement. It was still a success.
It was basically a suicide being the eldest for more than ten siblings. They are all curious, untamed, smart, adaptive, and dangerous. Every full potential has to be sealed, erased, and taken back. Only those who can take hold from the wrath of the past generations that is implanted on the minds of the youngsters. It was a heavy duty for her, but it cannot justify that the gift she received is the safety and knowledge of her siblings. All she can do now is just guide them, without a doubt. As she took a glance from the people she care about having fun, laughing and smiling as if nothing is beyond their way as a family.
The End.
