Nishra looked to him for a moment wondering if the voices would ebb like they had done for her when she placed the necklace on. It was apparent however that Aric wasn't hearing the voices when he spoke and that made her happy, her hand going to take the one her brother extended. "Think nothing of it Aric, we are here to help one another." in her mind this was the one truth that could never be broken.

Nishra bowed her head in return before lifting his head using her free hand. Something inside her was telling her such a thing was a weakness, but how could one small action be considered weak. Hearing the question she closed her eyes trying to imagine it but nothing came so shook her head sadly her white hair dancing around her albino skin "N-no..." it made her feel sad though had no idea why.

It was so strange that he had a feeling of remembering rain for some reason it was strong feeling, an unknown feeling like he was not allowed to remember what the feeling was or thought. It was bothering the male a bit, but soon it was going to have to let go as his thoughts wondered off to see what more they could do. "Let is look about the place and see where we are maybe then we can get some answers about what is going on and why we are here. . ." as he walked out of the room with his sister trying to see where they would be now.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

The guard looked at them both worried about why they would want to remember something so trivial as rain. "I can take you to the garden, I believe it may be raining." he said loyally to them watching how they interacted knowing that they would eventually be in for a rude awakening when one would be classed as the heir to the throne. Seeing them leave he bowed knowing that it might be the best course of action to let them explore on their own till they where summoned.

Nishra nodded to what her brother had said ignoring the guard completely all she needed was her brother, deep down she felt like that is the only thing that kept her going for the longest of time. "Exploring sounds fun!" she exclaimed walking beside her brother outside the room, her eyes scanning the darkness as they decided which way to go. "The left seems to have a strong pool of magic, the right strong pool of psychic abilities and in front nothing." she wondered which of the three paths they should take.

[NikkoGallarado]

The white haired youth looked at all the paths the one of nothing sounded boring to him so it was something that was nothing he wanted to care about at that moment. The thought of garden sounded nice to see rain, but again he had no idea why he would want to see a such a thing after waking trying to gather his thoughts of what was happening them and why a large chunk of there life is missing from there memories. As he thought more he thought about the other two pants that was before them.

Again as he looked away from the empty one to the pool of magic that also didn't seem to appeal to him in any way which was rather odd. But he getting a strong pool of Psychic one. But then his mind wondered off to the empty hall way. "I have no feeling really. . . but now I wonder. . . .what could really be down an empty hall way. Nothing is never really empty is it?" he asked his crimson eyes just looking on at the hallway before them. "What is pulling you to it?" he looked over to her.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

"There is something missing, I can feel it." she said quietly her eyes closing, deep inside she felt hollow almost as if her insides had been scooped out leaving nothing but the empty shell she had now. "Aric, do you remember anything? surely we should have some memories I mean we couldn't have got to this age without doing something." Nishra wasn't looking to upset the balance of anything but she found it bizarre that no mater how much she tried to remember nothing came but an aching heart.

She walked down the path that seemed to be filled with nothingness her hand still firmly in her brothers "The area is a dead zone, I sense nothing coming from it." however she stopped and looked to him with her own crimson eyes "How can we be sure we are even siblings Aric? We don't remember anything, why should we accept the words of someone we don't know." she had a point as much as this felt natural she wanted proof.

[NikkoGallarado]

"I don't know. . ." he said as he started to walk down the path of the empty hall way. Though he knew nothing was there he had a feeling he needed to follow it. "But I know we are cause you here with me and you know who I am and I know who you are. You where the first person I thought of when I came to." he said as he slowly walked down the hall. His crimson red eyes glowing some in the dark hall way as he let go of sisters hand suddenly getting pulled into the darkness that was before them.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Nishra couldn't help feel like the had chosen the wrong path, but at the same time it felt like the path would be right for at least one of them. Her blood ruby eyes looking to the void black and royal purple walls at either side of them, feelings of dread starting to creep into her heart as when she turned to look back all she could see was endless darkness.

"My first thoughts were of you also Aric, I remember you but anything about what we done all seems blank" she closed her eyes sighing, shaking her head as she let go of her brothers hand as she followed him down the hall. Only to see him suddenly being pulled into the darkness she ran into it hoping to see her brother and what was going on but after a while she realized he was gone without a trace. She felt alone now surrounded by nothing but darkness not knowing which way was the right one.

[NikkoGallarado]

Aric continued on walking getting further down the hall not realizing he had lost Nishra along the way. He continued on, not seeing anything feeling like he came to an end of the hall into what felt like large room of some sort. The only thing that gave an kind of light in the darkness was him, of pale white skin, snow white hair crimson eyes that stood out. "Hello Any one here?" he asked to see if any one would aid to his call. "Any one?" once he asked again he looked about seeing he was apart from his sister.

"Nishra? Where are you?" he called out looking around his long pony tail seemed to dance around him in the darkness of the area as if to tease him. "What is happening is any one here? Have I picked the wrong path to walk? The others didn't seem to appeal to him in any way and yet he went with this path not understanding why. "Why did I pick this one again?" was a thought that came across his mind. "What was calling me here. . . ."

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Nishra looked around the hall but couldn't make heads or tails of which way was forward and which way was back, she was scared and cried out as she felt like she had been cut across the arm. On looking down there was no wound but there was a thick red liquid 'This is your trial, you are a follower not a leader it would seem my dear.' the voice was cold, harsh, uncaring and unforgiving 'This life is a privilege given to few... if you are worthy of it, you will complete the trial.' the same voice came.

Her ruby eyes darted around the area much like a frightened child as she tried to pinpoint where the voice was coming from "A-Aric!" she called out only to scream out as it felt a long slash went across her back 'Come, come my dear... he will be the crowned one and you his servant you must learn to survive without him being there to hold your hand.' the voice mocked 'which path is correct, get it right and you will be one step closer to your destiny, get it wrong... the voice stopped and laughed.

Even though she was scared she never flinched it seemed to her every time she showed fear, uncertainty or any such emotions she would get hurt. Her eyes looked around her once more trying to decide which path she would choose, she just hoped there would be no time limit on the decision.

[NikkoGallarado]

He looked about hearing the soft whispers fill the room calling out to him. "Aric it's time. you are needed and you will have the crown, but first you must do something for us to have it. . . " he looked some way his crimson red eyes looked on following the soft whispers. "What is it that I need to do?" he asked his hand reached out after a short while and found a hilt of a sword and lift it up. looked it over.

"Yes Aric that is what you need to gain what you want." the whispers said. "What I want what do you mean?" as he looked on a sudden pain filled his head as he closed his eyes shaking some he tired to fight in the end he him self fell into darkness losing him self not sure of what was happening.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Nishra held her head knowing that she had already chosen the wrong path, they should have just followed the sounds of the rain and tried to remember even if it was futile on their part. "No Aric and I are the same, one will never serve the other!" she called out but all she heard was the continued laughing getting louder. Soon she sat down and shook her head, "No! I will not choose either path! You can not force it on me!" her head was hurting by defying she was being hurt but she didn't care she just wanted her brother and to live a happy life like she believed they always wanted to.

Eventually she blacked out because of the pain a shadow moving in the darkness looking down to the unconscious girl "She is going to be a stubborn one, but she will comply in time." the shadow said picking her up and moving her through the shadows moved her to another room, not the one she had originally woke in "Though your stubbornness may be useful in time." with that she just dropped her onto a bed in a room with no door.

[NikkoGallarado]

Not long after Aric awoke in a room unsure of what room he was in he knew he was in room a room that he was not familiar with. "What happened. . . wait I was in a dark area and the voices. . came." as he looked down around his neck seeing the gem was still there but why did the voice come all he knew he had found a sword and he took it after that he faded into darkness something about crown what had happened and why did it happen now? What was going on where was his sister. "Nishra where are you?" he called out getting out of the bed walking over to the door opened it up but it only lead to darkness. "What is this. . . what is going on?!" he yelled as his blood red eyes looked around as he called out again got no answer.

Shutting the door as he saw something out of the darkness quickly and a loud thud hitting the door, his white hair hung over his eyes. "What was that. . . .what is going on and why am I in this room." as he looked over to see the sword resting on the table it seemed to be covered in something walking over he looked down to have a smell fill his nose it was smell he knew well it coppery smell he could taste it. It was blood. . .but he didn't know from what and or why or how.

"What happened. . . " was all he could ask.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Soon enough Nishra woke up holding her head it felt like she had been in a fight for days on end but didn't remember it. She didn't even remember the corridor, the last thing she remembered has holding onto Aric's hand and being at the point of choosing which way to go, but when she tried to remember after that her head started pounding again. "This isn't funny Aric." she called out now looking at the dark room seeing nothing but walls her eyes darted to look for an exit.

"Aric! A-Aric where are you!" she called out tears falling from her eyes, she believed she had been torn from the last thing of her previous life and wasn't overly happy about it in fact she was both pissed off and upset. Her hand went to the crystal that she had been given "P-Perhaps if I take this off, then they can tell me how to get out of here." she didn't want to but she believed that she had little choice.

So removed the crystal, her hands instantly went to her head as she screamed out all the voices at once going to her head it was nothing but gibberish unable to make one out from the other "Stop! Please stop!" she cried out

[NikkoGallarado]

"Some one answer me! What is going on and why is this happening!" he yelled trying to get anyone or something to answer him. A soft whisper came into his ear as he listened some. "You have gained the crown if you head into the darkness you will find all your answers you are looking for and weapon you wish to hold and maybe even you're sister. But you will need to leave the room." it said to him as he looked back to the door as another thud hit it. Whatever was there it wanted in and it wanted him he could feel it. Reaching out to the table he took the sword he was not sure but he walked back over to the door opening quickly but not seeing anything.

As he looked out a long shadowy arm grab him by the face pulled him into the darkness, Aric drop the sword unable to say anything as he was pulled into the darkness.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

She placed her crystal back on with a little difficulty but the voices stopped, she panted a little sitting looking to the walls of her dark room "No wonder our kind are so pale we are kept in darkness." she whispered to herself her eyes darting around as she heard something, it seemed like a whisper but muffled "Not again..." she wanted the madness to stop, she wanted it all to stop but somehow that seemed unlikely to her at the moment.

"I've had enough of this! it isn't funny!" she yelled out "If this is how royalty is treated in this race then I want no part of it." she called out again. Child, this is nothing more than a test that all your kind go through. Use your mind find the door. she blinked looking around "There is no damn door in this room!" she growled but tilted her head "Perhaps I need to make one?" she seemed to ask herself walking to a wall she tried to move it at first but seen that it wasn't working so tried to make a weapon of the darkness somehow knowing this was going to take a while and she just didn't have the time to spare.

[NikkoGallarado]

Aric was taken into the the darkness looking about he felt like he was drowning with in it. He couldn't see, nor grab on to anything that he could hold on to. "Nishra!!" he called out trying to find a way out of this madness.
