Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Huh? Yeah. I'm fine. Did I do something strange?" Sokras said, confused.

Aegyl sniffed the air. "Hmm..."

->A few moments earlier<-

"Princess! I ask that you not walk so for ahead of me... Princess!!!" Kujo called out, scowling as he batted away at illusions that were trying to tag onto him.
"Oh, Kujo~ But this is the Forest of Illusions! Its beauty is such that I absolutely can't slow down. Besides, don't you think this place is..."
"'This place is' what?" Kujo asked, irritated. He he turned to face her, he found that she was suddenly before him. "Geh."
"...Isn't place so...romantic?" The princess batted her eyelashes teasingly.
Kujo balked and stepped away. "Preposterous! This place is a foul cesspool of aggravation! And lastly... Princess!!!" He grabbed the girl just as she was about to raeach her hand into a carnivorous plant's mouth. Though, the girl wasn't used to being pulled about and fell down a slope, pulling Kujo with her.
They tumbled down and down until they crash on to a path that was further down from them. "Kujo-kun, you're heavy... Oh! How delightful!" She smiled at the trio of adventures they'd stumbled upon.

->Present<-

Sokras hid further behind Austin.

Kujo looked up. "What a plesant surprise." He stood up and pulled his sword from its scabbard. "Long time no agony, you two." He sneered.
"Stop, Kujo!" The princess order as she stood and dusted her clothes off. "Hey there!" She looked at Sokras. "Wow, I never thought I'd meet you again, little brother!"

Sokras blinked as he returned to normal. Then he yelped as he saw who was before them. "A-Austin..."

"A-alright." Sokras nodded his head. "What? Little brother?"

The princess split a wide grin. "You look as innocent as always!!! And you've grown a few inches~! Come and give your big sis a hug! I've been looking all over for you!"

Kujo stepped in front of the girl, preventing her from walking forward. "I ask that you not do that, princess. The two are wanted by Mother. If she finds you consorting with them, she'll be furious with us both."

Sokras thought on it for a moment and then nodded. "It's risky, but it'll secure us a 'safe' passage..." He whispered back.

During this time, Aegyl watched silently, playing the part of a simple guide and not a dragon of ancients. It seems they don't realize what I am. We can use this as an advantage later, you two. She sent to Austin and Sokras' minds.

------

The princess huffed. "Kujo-kun, why not!? It's not like they can do anything big. Like you said, they're wanted by Mother. Obviously, they aren't idiots. They won't allow theirselves to be revealed. So of course they can't do much, if anything, to us." She pointed out boldly and defiantly while poking Kujo in the chest.

Kujo scowled and looked to the side. "Well...that IS true but these two are-"

The princess cut him off with a sharp reply. "Who are you marrying two weeks from now? Care to remind me?" She raised an eyebrow. Kujo gave a suffering sigh. "Fine," he muttered. "Have it your way..." "Yaaay! Thank you sooo much, Kujo-kun! I lo-" "Don't you DARE say that cursed word!!!" His eyes were furious, but the princess was making to face of a kicked puppy, so he stopped that too.

Sokras gave a small laugh. "Eccentric, definitely. My 'sister', I'm not too sure. But we'll learn soon enough. Still, to think Kujo is being controlled so easily..."

Aegyl gave a small snort her self.

Kujo raised an eyebrow at them. "Quiet you all! If it wasn't for the princess, I'd kill you all for all the humility you've dealt me!"

Sokras looked up at that. "Humility?"

The princess smiled widely. "Kujo is known for always taking out the marks he's given. Because of you two, he failed for the first time, but I still accepted his proposal. He's a funny guy! Now, enough about this big doofus, lil br, give me a hug and call me 'aneki' like you used to!!!" She opened her arms waiting.

"A-ah!" Sokras said as he stumbled forward. Then he looked up at the princess who was waiting with a wide grin. After a moment, he gave her a hug. "A-aneki..." Strangely enough, the word sounded right...but why? "...!!!" Another vision hit him without warning just like before. There was fire and buildings collapsing everywhere. He could see the younger twins again except one was being carried away by a great shadow and another was reaching out uselessly for the other while crying. When it disappeared, he collapsed, fainting into the princess' arms.

"Oh!" The princess said as Sokras collapsed. "Little brother!?" Then she gasped as she saw a single tear fall down Sokras' face. "...!!!"

Kujo said nodded and watched, uncaringly.

Aegyl put a hand over her mouth in shock.
