Siblings reunited. (Fear/Determination post, Epilogue)
Thanks to some divine intervention from the nameless god of the soul a few days ago, The Aspect of Fear's influence was banished from AIralo while he remains a fear soul he is no longer immortal, and no longer has his own fears torturing him or a voice in his head telling him to try to kill his own sister, though he had been passed out for the past couple days, Alisa awoke much earlier then he did during a game her friends were playing after taking them both to Alisa's house, though after some time, the game ended and the friends went back to their homes, a few days later we arrive to where we are now, about 1 day after the expedition to the world below zhe hosted, alisa woke up this morning to find AIralo gone and a note where he was, it was covered in writing, seemingly red writing, 1 word all over it, "Sorry" Alisa was concerned, but had hope...that airalo, her only brother, and only living family besides astrial and technically hate, would be ok, though about 2 days later he would return to her doorstep, a knock would be heard from the door, and alisa would answer it and see him, he had bandages in a lots of places, and he looked tired, and she let him in, and he slowly walked inside and collapsed onto the couch she asked how he was feeling and he simply responded.
"i don't know honestly...i...can barely think straight...he laughed a little nervously...but...i...i'm sorry...i have to do this to end it..." he stood up and walked toward alisa manifesting a draconic hand which was green in color besides a pink tint to it and dripping with poison but she spoke "Airalo...could you please...just sit down and listen"...
Airalo froze...unlike before whenever she'd try to talk to him one of the voices in his head would drown it out with word such as "she can't be trusted" or "don't believe her lies" but this time it was silent...and unlike those times he wasn't in physical pain either...he sat down reluctantly and Alisa spoke
"i'm sorry...sorry i didn't know you were still in tiamat's clutches...i was banished...to someplace far...far away...i didn't have a choice...if i knew...once i escaped...i would have attempted to save you...but i just"
he chuckles a bit...interrupting what she was about to say "couldn't...what reason do i have to believe you after all this time?"
Alisa cried a little bit before speaking "because...i believed enough in my brother to...try to save him...like he had done for me so many times when we were kids"...she said reaching into a small pocket...clutching a locket
Airalo chuckled a bit ha...ha...hahaha...hahahahah...he laughed a bit uncontrollably for a few seconds before he reached into his own pocket and pulled out his own locket staring at the picture within, of the two when they were little he always was taller then her, even now he stands a foot taller than her and he spoke though it was quiet "...why...did this happen to us..."
Alisa sighs and looks guilty before speaking "it's...my fault...all because of my...stupid soul...she cried a bit more if it weren't for the power...my soul grants me...we...never would have been in this mess..."
Airalo didn't speak...simply listened....now that while his head wasn't exactly well put together it is better then it was under the aspect of fear's influence
Alisa spoke "the power i have...over...over..."
he gently places a hand on her shoulder as comfort...though he hesitated at first
Alisa continued "time...my...abilities drew tiamat to me...and when i refused to be her slave..."
Airalo spoke barely audible "she took what little we had...took...everything from us"
Alisa sighed "yes...i...couldn't...let myself be a prisoner...not again...and i wanted to save you...save everyone...but my choices...choices i can't take back...without losing something important to me...lead...to my friends deaths...and my brother suffering..."
Airalo sighed and hugged alisa gently and spoke softly "i'm...sorry...i...f...forgive..."
Alisa smiled weakly "t...thank you airalo...if you...need a place to stay...your...welcome here"
Airalo smiled weakly "thanks...but...i...need time to think...i'm going to go out for a bit...and...i'll see you again...but...tell...my niece...that i'm sorry...and...i won't be so ....s....tupid next time"
Alisa spoke "before you go...here...you should probably have this" she reaches into a pocket and pulls out airalo's knife, as zhe had given it to her
Airalo chuckles and takes it and smiles weakly "t...thanks..."
Airalo got up and started walking toward the door and once he walked outside he headed off for now, though he'll return to his sister's home soon, Alisa would inform astrial of what her brother said...and to be ready for when he next arrives.
/uw thank you to everyone that participated in the fear posts, just saying airalo is an actual character now, and he will be encounterable in any post where alisa is encounterable, as eventually they will be living in the same house or relatively close by, i wanted to play a temporary villain character and i hope i did well for you guys, the temporary villain part of airalo is gone now, we'll see what he gets up now though he's very much still crazy afterall no one goes through what he and alisa would have and comes out unscathed. :), airalo's near alisa's house outside at the moment and if anyone wants to talk to alisa they can knock on her door.
