"Dying, I wonder what that means. Hey do you remember what it's like. To me I'd like to experience it just once Yuki." (???)

Yuki blinked when she remembered that memory but not the owner of the voice. Her best friend. Yet her memories weren't all there. That was the last time she saw her in that dried wasteland. She now remembered that memory, her friend had asked her do you wonder what's beyond this life. Can we go somewhere or where's our destination, that last one she couldn't answer. Then she remembered Elena called her sister and they were leaving the wasteland but her older sister was sick. Yet she always found the time to come talk to Yuki.

Organizing her thoughts a realization hit her, Elena's sister died on that day. The very same day she asked if there would be a next life for them or a purpose for person.

"Damn now I feel horrible." (Yuki)

"Sister what's wrong you've been out of it since you saw that dead body on the front garden fountain." (Setsuna)

"Don't remind me. Hima was just there too lecturing us." (Yuki)

"Here's a question for you since mother said I'm stuck with you." (Ember)

"Fine ask away." (Yuki)

"Say where does a Phoenix go at the end of it's life." (Ember)

"That's easy, they slowly forgotten who or what they are so as they fade away they turn to silver dust." (Setsuna)

"Yet they're always reborn as someone else. Royals retain their memories and the nobles and commoners don't. Nor do they have the cheat to inherit powers of reincarnations after their deaths." (Ember)

Yuki only smiled when she remembered her mother Evelyn. Her hearing was excellent so of course she remembered the scene at the school. That also involves her mother yet she knew it was her mother's soul not her physical body that would be affected like Phoenixes.

"So I'm stuck with the demon, yep that's what mom said when she left with Snow. She did say she's leaving her with a pure angel that's a bit too much. I'm guessing Niana's reincarnation." (Ember)

"Brat how much do you know." (Setsuna)

"Let's say all of it since I inherited my mother's archive ability also I've been keeping track of my younger sister and no shit I'm pissed too. Can you blame a kid that's around almost 13 years old now. Plus my sister's age is stagnant because those freaks doing time leaps and messing with their past and erasing their past like it's nothing. Like oh fucking come on thing of the damn consequences. You fucks are messing with a life of a innocent child that should be 7 years old by now. But she's now a traumatized 3 year old with perfect memories. For the stupid gods someone like freaking kill those bastards gods too. And like can someone get rid of this asshole named time. I mean the prickles are annoying he keeps reincarnating the girl though she wishes to never be reborn. Those around her always die without reasoning and she can't stop it. Also don't you dare comment on me being a child. Even I'm stressed out over my sister." (Ember)

Setsuna blinked at the child who just threw all her problems at them in one go. Her expression said to Yuki hey does this one sound like a kid. But Yuki only shrugged because her soul looked the same as her current appearance so she didn't say anything either. Rather her eyes looked at the door where she noticed the ghosts laughing.

She nearly forgot but noted they seemed to be building up since it reminded her of some sort of mountain of corpses.

"Oh so you could also see those ugly monstrosity that killed my birth mother indirectly." (Ember)

"Why do you call them monsters." (Yuki)

"Fine then. Quick question does that humanoid form with bulging ugliness and cruel mouth look human or normal. Or for example that female face sure she looks normal but her opening slit mouth like a arachnid does that look like it's human anymore. In what way does these ghost that only knows how to manipulate and lie seem human friendly." (Ember)

Yuki's eyes stared at the giant body pile by the front door from the living room. Her nervousness was noticed by even Ember.

"I see mother was worried you'd be a victim. No worries I'm 12 years old but yes I can exterminate these just fine. Also I won't eat such disgusting things. It might get me sick, I maybe part Abyssal but even I won't touch these things." (Ember)

"Why don't you then." (Yuki)

"Where's the fun in that if I don't even see these guys and girls' boss. Yes each group has a boss. It's much easier to do so in one fell swoop yet yours seems I don't know missing, M.I.A, like seriously what's with these things no boss yet your like a magnet." (Ember)

Yuki didn't know what to say to the 12 year old girl who was more honest than them. Instead she gave a wry smile while she noticed to her side Setsuna banging herself head on the wall. Her only thought was wow she frustrated you so much you don't know how to respond to her anymore.

"Sister you shouldn't argue with a child." (Yuki)

She took her original appearance before she attended school. Making herself look around mid 20s again. Setsuna looked stunned to see her clear golden eyes shining in the sunlight.

"Is it me or you hid your eye color for the past few days. Plus it doesn't seem normal for a ice demon of the clans to have those eye color. Are you sure your father is a ice demon from the clan." (Setsuna)

"It's more if I didn't I'd attract others from just my golden eyes. Since others don't even have this abnormal eye color." (Yuki)

"So you went with blue eyes cause it matches your hair color." (Setsuna)

"Why do you seem concern about my golden eyes. Don't dragons also have the same eyes too." (Yuki)

"No. The way glows reminds me of only one person. Izumi, the immortal devil. She was the former Phoenix princess in her previous life. Her parents named her as Aries, yet she was framed and betrayed by her own sibling. Or rather her siblings were used by the elders to try to kill her. You remember her in history right. No rather you have Lin's memories of her whole life story too don't you." (Setsuna)

"Don't even mention that I hated her brother's twisted sense of justice even if wanted her not to change. The stupid undying immortal dragon was the worst ever factor to her changing." (Ember)

"Yet it seems impossible for me to be her descendant." (Yuki)

"Or is it? Only your mother knows." (Setsuna)

"Why are you shocked when I mentioned Izumi. And not Hima. Well she did use the trail grounds after she did that ritual of slaughtering millions of humans to resurrection her general. That slaughter turned her into fallen angel. Then she used the last resting ground of the last war when you and Hima battled as a trial ground to change her race into the devil race." (Ember)

"Wasn't it because she no longer wanted to be labeled as a Saint by her brother." (Yuki)

"Rather it might've been cause she was tired of sharing her life with that hypocrite, I mean look at her lives she lived. A million or so most of it she had been killed due to the idiotic brother who saved her at one point in her 1st incarnation." (Setsuna)

"No one can be a saint forever. Not even Aries. Her brother proves that to her. Killing her when she was angered by someone's corrupt ways. Yet her own younger brother saw the good in everyone." (Yuki)

(They're talking about a story that Setsuna and Yuki knows all to well. Aries was framed, royal Phoenix are pure blood so her mother fasted out her younger brother. Her sisters were raised by her yet they realized hundreds of years later that it was a mistake they had made. One of Aries sister shot her with a arrow almost killing her. Her brother used a forbidden art to try to prolong her life. Yet in the end she still died but ended up sharing a body with her brother for centuries being able to switch in between as they wished. Until after her millionth lifetime and she was returned to the realms. Tired of her brother's sense of justice and reasoning she split from him without telling her plans and changed her race to a devil. Of which he considers evil and later hunted her down.)

"Even a Saint would change if someone was that stubborn even if they ducking saved you once. Or the fact that their your brother. He should've been happy with the fact she spared him after all that cause their family blood." (Setsuna)

"If I was her I'd kill him on my 100th life when he held me back to watch the bandits kill my family and the villagers." (Yuki)

"Ironic Hima was named Izumi too in her second life." (Setsuna)

"Yet she was a experimental demon created by human hands and ended by them too." (Yuki)

"Well killing a destructive dragon is easy since spells and weapons don't work. Just teleport them into a black hole. Immortals even die from that." (Setsuna)

"You did not just diss yourself." (Yuki)

Setsuna shrugged since what she said was the truth. Even immortal weapon killing devices don't work on destruction dragons. The reason why they mentioned it was because they mentioned Aries's brother.

"You're not thinking he might be here." (Yuki)

"Don't know until we see the bastard." (Setsuna)

"He's the only brat I don't want to meet." (Yuki)

Her eyes widen when she realized that Hina's way of speaking is slipping in and so was Hina's mannerisms. She drew a blink when remembering that Hina was also a former princess. In her own mind she felt like screaming no, I do not even want to stand out this way.

"You don't even know the real father of one of your daughter." (Rika) 

"I have to admit I was drunk when it comes to Yuki. Don't think it's that bad though. She seemed just fine." (Evelyn) 

"Why do you not suspect her father's origins." (Rika) 

"Sorry I don't wish to talk to someone who's insanity is losing it about my well being. Nor of the time I was drunk. But you aren't wrong that Yuki's father isn't my husband but another man, though I don't think she knows about her twin sister." (Evelyn) 

"She had a twin sister." (Rika) 

"You sound shock. Yes she had a younger twin who had, a weaker existence. So much so that she kinda blended in into the background. It kinda worries me." (Evelyn) 

"Then do you know what happened to her." (Rika) 

"I sent her away as a 2 year old girl. So she has no memories of her mother. Plus she's safer with the 600th Phoenix princess than my own clan." (Evelyn) 

"Doesn't that mean you lied to Yuki." (Rika) 

"If you trying to reason with me in this state please stop. My daughter being sent away has to do with the fact she looks nothing like my clan members too. As they said there's no medicine for regret. She has a better chance at survive with my childhood friend than with me." (Evelyn) 

Rika's crazed eyes look straight at Evelyn who shrugged. Her head wasn't tuned to Rika though she sat there watching the ceiling. The silver hair still lingered in her eyes the happy little girl reaching out her hand at her mother while smiling and crying at the age of 2.
