Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: Horripilation

For the past couple of days now my mind was a swirl of emotions, mostly negative. I did not know what to think or process of all the information given to me the day I died.

"Now my children, I will bring you two to the world of Averna, we will meet again before your respective ends. I know you can and will change this world for the better. I love you my children." Is what God told us before a weird sensation fell over me. I was baffled to say the least by the whole experience. To think God, the one from the bible, took the time of day to come and talk to me was mind boggling, even if it was just for a small chat pertaining to my final chance to make things right. When I was on Earth, there were many individuals who helped me throughout my life. Many of those people were my friends and associates, especially notable was when I was younger my college buddies who helped fester this passion I now have. Out of all my reasons though, my family especially helped me through many though patched, mainly my siblings, namely an elder sister of mine who lived abroad, that was before they unfortunate all passed away in the late 2020's… They were all located in a mid-western town at the time and one of the riots lead to their death, killing them all… That's when I started my plans to destroy the things that was infecting the west started, and I became the man everyone on Earth feared, even more then Osama bin Laden a little more than 30 years back. I was even by some compared to Hitler, Mao, and Stalin by the ways I conducted myself and how The Organization at large operated. I, however, hope we as a collective succeeded in my plans of dismantling the corrupt society the west was festering, because I would not get to see the future my plans would've created. In the final moments I felt my organization I created took too long despite our major progress, so I took matters into my own hands and took out most of the major players in Re:Do-Life, the company who spurred on many of the protests that lead to my families death… so at the very least it should have slowed their progress back a decade or two. 

I cannot tell whether I was fortunate or not, but it looks like in this new world God has sent me too via reincarnated or whatever, it was a world where I was transported into the body of a baby boy. A new start to life, where he wanted me and this other person to help this world as my final chance… to showcase to him that I am worthy of being in his grace and love… However, after a short few days after being born I hit my limit by the unfortunate parter I came along with…

"You've gotta be shitting me!" an adult woman's voice said, shrieking in my head, "You, you of all people? This God individual, whatever that thing was that transported, transmigrated, reincarnated, or whatever'd me into a baby… and you're the person who I am connected with? This has to be a sick joke, I feel violated that I am even talking to you" she finished, absolute disgust and dejection laced in every mental note she spat at me. 

The person who is speaking is my new sister, named Amaranthine, is also the woman who was the leader, founder and CEO of Re:Do-Life, the same woman I killed in my very own suicide, "Trust me Amaranthine, I don't enjoy this either." I said whilst mentally projecting me rolling my eyes "Forced to be trapped in the body of an infant no older then 1 month old, and you being the ONLY one to talk to is…"

"Yes, yes, you've been stating that for the last few days Sigfried." She said oozing sarcasm, interrupting my speech, "We've been able to read our own minds and thoughts through these interactions, gaping at our own individual pasts for a while now. I don't get why the hell you're using these names; my real name is…" 

"We are no longer who we were Amaranthine, do you see cell phones or modern medical equipment around us?! We're in this world so get used to the new names." I mentally yelled at Amaranthine, which caused her to mentally flinch back. I was exasperated by the level at which she can be annoying, "And trust me knowing who you are doesn't make this easier for me too. We aren't who we were on Earth, we are in a world completely different than what we are used to, do you not understand? This little spat between us has been going on mentally for over five days, and I haven't been able to figure out a mute button on this… telepathy thing yet. I feel this is the point at which you and I need to get over it and figure out what the hell to do." I said hoping to finalize this almost five days back and forth between us.

"I get what you're saying… "Siegfried", but you cannot just expect the woman you JUST killed to be okay with this whole situation, and to realize there is a God to some effect is deeply disturbing… This is just a sick joke, and I hope to wake up from a coma soon…" she said whilst in mental tears. I get where she is coming from in a logical perspective, but we need to figure out what to do and how to go forward from here. I remember the moment we were born something about a Duke and Duchess, but we've only seen maids for the past few days who've fed and changed us… but somehow, we are able to understand the language of the place we're in… at least to a base level. Listening to them is like talking to a Dutchman speak, I get 60% of the words but the rest is gibberish…

"Waaaaaa" I heard from next to me, "Waaaaaaaa" 

Startled I attempted to crane my infantile neck towards the sound, then mentally deadpanned at the sight, it was her again. Amaranthine was crying in response to her realizations. Again, I get where she's coming from though, I never expected to enjoy the delights of heaven despite my cause being for the glory of God, but this was a bit too weird even for me. "Will you please shut the fuck up now Amaranthine; we need to plan and think of what to do next. We aren't in a position to do anything, and your crying is annoying as shit. What was it that God said that is different to this world to our previous one? Do you remember? What happened to the woman who created something so large as Re:Do-Life, that took an organization like mine to slightly damage it."

"I.. *hic* I think it was something to the effect of we are now in a world of new world consisting of magic, swords and sorcery and that we are do to something here." She said, slowly steadying herself mentally. Good, we need both of our minds to come up with a way to fix this situation we are in.

"Okay great, glad you remember. We are here on a mission, but I doubt that means we are something of a God… or heaven forbid Demon in this world. But we were given a purpose and from all the stories like Samson and David in the bible, we both should've been given something to help us out. We were born as twins for a reason, right? We need to figure out what we can and cannot do and figure out our surroundings."

Some of the things I remember in that white space with God were that we were transported to the world of Averna, which he stated was similar to that of purgatory… which frightened me a fair bit, but we need to figure out what we can and should do.
