A family, united and then broken.
Ralkion gives Jonah a backpack full of items, noticing Karashi is gone. "The next time you see my sister, give her this, and this." He says as he removes the necklace from his neck, it was a 3d wolf head dreamcatcher style necklace, made of a rare material. It obviously had some magic abilities as well. He handed him the items, then left.
Jonah Shadowcat blinks curiously at the backpack and flicks his ears as he looks inside of it. He shrugs and zips it back up before setting it down and plopping onto the couch.
Karashi shoves her head out of the cardboard box she was in when she heard an unknown voice and the mention of a sister. Spotting Ralkion before he left, she darted out and tackled him to the ground. Ralkion blinked in utter surprise, and the two embraced each other in a loving hug. Karashi hadn't seen her brother since just after birth, and in a specific memory, so she was happy to finally meet him.
Ralkion sighed and hugged his sister tight, as he moved them both into a standing position, he went over to Jonah. "Well, I guess she was still here. Sorry about that." He chuckled and took the backpack back, and the necklace. He put the necklace around Kara's neck, and then activated the spell within. Karashi's voice would soon be restored and he planted a gentle kiss upon her forehead, "I told you to be patient, little one." He said, handing her the backpack.
Karashi took the backpack and felt it was slightly heavier than her own. She removed her own and knelt down, placing her items; a brush and notepad within the new backpack and put the new one on. She smiled, and spoke for the first time in a month. "Thank you nii-san!" She wrapped her arms around his neck again and buried her face into his chest. The two just sat there for a while, holding each other, a family.. what was left of it anyways, brought back together.
Ralkion picked up his sister, feeling her worries and her fears, and her pains from the times she'd been away from their home planet. He frowned and moved them to a couch, and settled down in it. "I'm sorry for making you wait, and go at the world alone, and with no knowledge." He stated, which earned him a punch to the gut from Kara. He'd earned that much at least. After that, they just laid there together, Karashi crying softly as Ralk merely held onto her.
Karashi sat up after releasing her brother from her arms and wiped her tears away from her cheeks. "I don't... I don't understand why you had to leave me be. Why did I have to be alone?! Why did I have to suffer?!" She yelled at him, still upset and trying to just understand what the hell was going on. Ralk frowned and winced at every statement. "I was hurt, and you weren't there to protect me! You weren't there to comfort me, I suffered alone because of you! My friend died, because.. because.. because I didn't know how to help him! Seth died, because he was alone, just like me! What if that had been me?!" She shouted, hitting him in the chest a few times.
Ralkion sighed after she'd finished hitting him and he grabbed her by the wrists and put them together, "I'm sorry." He stated, "But allow me.. to show you, what it is that our people suffered. Allow me to show you why I couldn't just come after you." He stated, and put his hand on her forehead. He chanted a small spell in an unknown language and the memories began to play, for all to see who were nearby. It started out from the first thing Karashi remembers. It was a planet, with a massive population of Xurien's on it. They were training in an open field, things were busy as usual and Karashi was watching her brother fight off three of his friends, almost with ease. Then, all hell broke loose as a tear opened up in the sky and a dark figure emerged. He looked like a Xurien, but more human, with a bit of flesh. "Now today, is the day, all you die! You're abominations!" Ralkion, Kara's father and mother, reacted immediately. The main soldiers went to fight off the clearly very powerful being, and were slain almost immediately by the cackling figure. Ralkion darted over and put a time-freeze spell around Karashi and their father. The mother had ran forwards towards the enemy, and been slain. "MOTHER!" Ralkion cried out. He knew he couldn't take on the sorcerer alone, and so he did the only logical thing. He protected his father and sister in the time-freeze spell, and then ran. The time-freeze spell was the only thing that could prevent damage to those inside, because it froze all time inside of it. Yet those inside, still aged. It was a strange spell, and it wasn't supposed to be used normally because of its possible dangers. Ralkion leaped through a dimensional portal, and went off to hide. It played then, through his memories. Him finding another civilization, adapting, learning new things. Growing stronger and stronger, finding a cure to their species mute curse after the sorcerer had given it to those who remained. It showed him searching and taming a dragon, learning to speak with it through a mental link. It showed him taking off through different dimensions to try and find his sister and returning home was the first place he looked. The place was in a mass of ruin, and his sister was gone. His father, dead. He searched through the burning wreckage and found their home barely intact. He grabbed the items that were now in the backpack; a memory book, a spell book, and a book of their past and culture. He grabbed as well, a picture-book, and the necklace and left again. The search continued, his adventures bringing him near death a few times as well. Deserts, unknown worlds, until he stumbled across the one Karashi had been in. He sensed her there and knew she was there, but not where.
Ralkion had began to scour the planet, in search of his sister. He questioned everyone he came across, with the small, slightly burned photo of her that he'd last seen her in. Twenty-two years had passed since he'd last seen her and he was growing desperate. He finally encountered some people who knew of her and said they'd seen her recently, but not known where she'd gone off to. Eventually, he stumbled across KaiyaJounetsu, who told him of Seth and his death and how it had affected Karashi, and he frowned. He knew that would hurt her greatly, and he sighed. He back-traced Seth's presence from the Colosseum, even after he'd died, he'd felt the powerful aura had remained. An aura even stronger than his own at this point. Ralkion was eons old, yet Seth was nearly triple his strength and skill in combat. He found the place Karashi had gone to, and went off to go there but; Seth had placed a counter to prevent people, Gods specifically or demons, travelling across dimensions to get to his village. He ended up in a place known as the Kamui, a lost dimension meant to trap those inside. In there, he encountered people Seth had left to dispatch of intruders. He'd barely escaped with his life and had lost his dragon in the process. The mental link gone, it had nearly killed him; but his will to find his sister kept him going as he collapsed and ended up just outside the Emerald Lounge. He'd stepped inside, and had hoped a random person knew of his sister; he'd felt her presence here and so it was his last hope before he died. Then, they'd met. As the memories ended, Ralkion spoke; "Sister.. my time has come.. and I've completed my duty of restoring your memories and giving you the items needed to learn yourself and take care." He smiled up at his sister as his life began to fade away. "I love you, and I promise you.. I will return." He said, though... in all honesty, he wouldn't. Ralkion died underneath his sister, his life gone.
Karashi was crying by the end of it, and when her brother said his time was over, she shook him, "No, brother please! Don't go! You're all I have!" She desperately tried to save him, using her powers of light, but it was to no avail. Her brother had died in front of her and she buried her face in his neck and cried. "Why.. why did you have to die too?!" She sat there, heart-broken and distraught. Soon, Ralkion's body faded away, disappearing into the skies. Karashi collapsed onto the floor, shaking and crying the entire time. She was alone, once again.
