John was once again being led towards the medical room by Alexia and Alea, though they now had the addition of Elmyra running along the pictures along the wall to keep up.
When John accepted being her friend she cheered before boasting to her two descendants.
"Yay yay!" Elmyra cheered, waving her arms in the air and jumping around.
"See Alea I can get a new friend too; John is my friend too now."
"I see that congratulations." Alea said with a smile while Tanelia just shook her head to the side before saying.
"Right well shall we continue."
As they started to walk again Elmyra noticed and ran to keep up while asking.
"Hey hey where are you taking my new friend?"
"We are taking John to the medical center." Alexia answered.
"Medical center! Why? What happened? Should this big sister beat up whoever hurt you?"
"Big sister?" John asked while Tanelia and Alea giggled.
"Sure, after all I am older than you, I need to look after my cute younger brother."
"When did we progress from friends to siblings?"
"When I learned you were hurt, I didn't want my friend getting hurt so I am accepting you as my little brother so I can protect you."
"Well thanks I guess, but to answer your question I may have been poisoned."
"Poisoned how? By who?" Elmyra asked with a concerned look.
"It was the MK VI access band, seems like someone purposely gave it to John to poison him." Tanelia explained.
"WHAT!" Elmyra squealed in outrage.
"How dare they try to poison my cute younger brother, Tanelia, kill them all, I want them removed from existence."
"You know we can't do that ancestor, also Tia is handling it."
"Wait Tia, really?"
"Yes, let me explain." After which Tanelia explained everything that happened, and what they learned about the incident.
Normally she would not have dared reveal this information before Tia announced it, but Elmyra was a special existence to Tia herself.
Elmyra was the leader of the elves at the creation of the Genesis Agreement, it was she who brought the five races together and warned them of the oracle's vision.
"Well, if Elasha is dealing with this then I am sure it will be fine." Elmyra said with a hump.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
"Elasha?" John asked.
"You see John, Elmyra was there when Tia was created as the elf who volunteered themselves to have their mind uploaded was in fact Elmyra's youngest daughter Elasha." Alea explained.
"I see I am sorry Elmyra." John said, turning to his new friend.
"Don't worry about it John, it happened a long time ago and, in a way, Elasha is doing what she loves the most now." Elmyra explained.
"She always loved helping people and it never mattered what race they were from, if she could help them, she would."
John nodded as they continued walking.
Eventually they entered what was obviously a medical room with several medical beds and different apparatus around the room.
"About time you old hag."
A female voice said from behind a curtain before a female elf came out from behind it.
Like all elves she was very beautiful and also had a resemblance to Tanelia and Alea, with long silver white hair tied into a ponytail and wearing a lab coat.
"I told you I had important experiments taking place in Genesis and that I don't have time to do a check up on one silly human, but here you are making me wait."
"Oh, shut up you quack doctor who are you calling old."
"You of course, you're like the oldest living being on the planet with two legs you hag."
"Oh, please I'm like 10 minutes older than you if that."
"That still makes you older and the OLDEST idiot."
As the two women continued to argue John turned to Alea.
"Umm."
"Hahaha these two are still the same, they never grow up." Elmyra laughed and said before Alea could reply.
"What are you doing here brat?" The elf doctor said to Elmyra.
"Who are you calling brat you little baby minnow, compared to the great legendary me you're nothing but a speck on the road." Elmyra replied
"Ha please compared to your older self's, who I might add act far more like a legendary person, you're just the baby of the bunch."
"How can someone who is barely even two hundred years old call myself who has lived for almost a thousand years a baby?"
"You call this living? Living as a picture maybe."
"Err" by now John was totally confused.
Alea was holding her face in her hand while shaking her head and sighing.
"John, I must apologize for this, let me explain."
"That lady there is my mother's younger twin sister Thasinia Keagwyn"
"Keagwyn?" John asked, confused.
"Ah you must be thinking that my mother received her surname from marrying my father and I received mine from being their child." Alea asked to which John just nodded.
"That may be how it works normally if couples decide to change their names at marriage which many do not in Elf society."
"However, for members of the royal family we cannot change our name, like our hair color which is unique to the bloodline of the royal family it will stay with us for our entire lives."
"If in the future I ever marry, even if I don't become queen, I will always carry the name Alea Kaegwyn, it will be up to my husband to decide if he wishes to keep his surname or take mine."
"I see but can you tell me why they're acting like that?" John said pointing at the still arguing two sisters and one mother of elves who was now a picture.
"Siblings fight do they not? They love each other dearly they just have a strange way of showing it, as for Elmyra well.... she just wants to join in on the fun."
"Pardon?"
"You may have noticed that Elmyra can be a bit...."
"Childish?" John finished,
"Exactly, it's a strange thing that we are not certain of the reason for, but we believe that Elmyra is more childlike because her portrait is of a child."
"If or when you meet another portrait of her you will find that they are more mature and grown up just as their portraits are."
John nodded in understanding before.
"Oi John don't listen to her, I am perfectly mature and grown up." Elmyra said while looking angrily at Alea with puffed out cheeks.
