----------------------Twelve years (more or less) before Jack's awakening------------------
---------------------Elise POV---------------------
I didn't even felt nine months passing, being inside the womb while conscious it's not that different from sleeping; there were times when I woke up, but I couldn't muster enough strength or awareness to do anything other than listen to my mother's and sister's beating heart and go back to sleep.
The day of our birth I came out before my sister, luckily I'll not have to call her onee-chan; it would have been too embarrassing to call her that considering that it will be my job to protect her.
Looking around, I found my mother on a luxurious bed, the strange thing is: she has pointed ears... if my memory from the little amount of books that I read isn't wrong, then I'd say she's an elf.
Shortly after me, my new sister was born, though... how can she sleep even at this moment? As she wasn't even opening her eyes, the midwife gave her a slap on the butt.
*UWWWWAAAAAA* *UWWWWAAAAAAA*, ouch, how could it be that she got hit and I felt the pain? Is this magic?
-Congratulation 4th queen, they're healty and lively twins, I shall report it to his majesty- said the midwife giving us to our mother, but the smile she showed to her is fake; I have a bad presentiment bout this.
After the midwife gets out of the room, our mother looks back to us with a sad smile: -I'm sorry little ones, I should have never given birth to you two. Your lifes will be difficult because of me, but I'll do my best to let you have everything you want together with my unconditioned love-.
Well, at least our mother loves us, this is already better than everything I had previously, so I'm not going to complain, though it would be nice to see father... wait a second, 4th queen? Doesn't that mean that my father is a jerk? But he's the king, so it should be normal... I'll just wait to judge.
Now I'm sleepy...
-------------------------Julie POV----------------------
As I woke up, I found out that I could open my eyes, it seems that I have finally been born! Though when it happened and why my butt feels sore?
Mmm? Who's holding me? An elf? Does that mean that I'm an elf? Yayyyy.
*gurgle* I'm pretty sure that sound was me, now that I think about it, I'm pretty hungry right now... how to show it? Let's try with usual method: -UWAAAAAA-.
The elf looks at me, she's really pretty, if I grow half as pretty as her, I'm sure I can cause a war or two. -What do you need little Julie? Is your tummy empty again? But I fed you just a while ago-.
What? I already ate? When? How? But I'm hungry again... fortunately my mother understands and feds me again. Never tasted a milk better than this, it could become a drug for me.
-Grow strong Julie, for which you will need strength in order to not let them step on you and your sister, I hope the Gods will be benevolents with you two-. As she said that, I could feel my head drifting away... it seems things will not be as easy as I thought.
----------------------Two months later------------------
"Julie, can you hear me? JULIE!!!" I was woken up by a voice... perfect, am I also hearing things now? I'm a baby, shouldn't I sleep most of the time? What is the problem?
"Julie, I'm Elise, if you can hear this, say status".
Sister-in-law? No, I should call her sister now, but is she big sister or little sister? Doesn't matter for now, but I sure hope to be the older one this time. "Show status".

Oooooh, this is cool, I also have 5 unallocated stats... should I use them? Nah, it doesn't seem like a good idea, but how could Elise contact me? Ah, maybe if there is a status, there are also the skills: "show skills".
INNATE SKILLSAncient memories (temporary): you're a being from another world and the memories of your previous life were inserted in your soul; in 11 months your memories will fuse with your current body giving you additional stats, afterwards this skill will disappear.Language comprehension (temporary): this skill was given to you by the Goddess of fate, it permits you to automatically talk and read the common human language and the common elf language. This skill will be absorbed by your body in 11 months, giving you an increase of stats.Yang twin soul: because you and your sister are twins, you possess an unbreakable bond; depending on how this bond is developed, more perks will appear in this skill.
This skill gives you the ability to sense and mentally communicate with your sister from everywhere.Enchanted aptitude: this skill grants you extraordinary affinity in light, dark and spatial magic.Magic body: you were born with an extremely suited body for magic.
Learning and training rate for magic related knowledge and stats increased by 500%10th sense: you can feel the condition of an unknown soul that is out there somewhere.RACIAL SKILLSForest buff: when in a forest, you will gain an increase of 10% in all your stats.Nature aptitude: though your elf blood is mixed with human blood, you can still hear nature's call.Half-elf body: though diluited, your blood doesn't lie; you have an increased and nocturnal eyesight and your body is more adept in magic and agility based classes.
You also have a longer lifespan than humans and your beaty will naturally develop following your manners.
This explains quite a few thing... let's try it out: "Elise, are you there? Do you know between us who's the older one?".
"Yes, I'm here, good thing you finally answered, it's two days since I first tried to contact you, I feared the worst; who would tell your brother that you didn't even survive for a month? Speaking of your brother, can you feel him? It's strange".
As she said that I concentrated on the 10th sense skill and I could feel my brother's soul flickering in and out existence, is it possible that he died already? But then why is he coming back? There is also the possibility that he's being killed before even having the possibility to reincarnate.
"No use thinking about it too much sister, he will come back to us eventually, just give him time... and in case he doesn't show up in time for our 18th birthday, we will go in search for him, ok?"
"Ok...." answered Elise, but I could feel she wasn't too convinced... is this a perk of that twin skill? Nice, with this I'll be able to reassure her.
As I sent my confidence trough our link, I could feel her relaxing, it seems that in the last two days she was over worrying herself; what a silly sister, if there is a thing I'm sure of is: never worry about onii-chan.
