Chapter 5 - Is this my new home or has it always been my home

Asia: Seeing my daughter stumbling before using the table to support herself I rush over to her wrapping my arms around her shoulders for her complexion had gone pale "h-how about you go rest for 30 minutes before we continue."

Feeling dizzy to only feel someone wrap their arms around my shoulders to support me, I look to my left to hear mother voice but the image that had showed. That'd flashed in my mind when I looked at her having me say "m-mom..."

Causing her to look at me in surprise for she wasn't expecting me to call her that, to see the emotions in her eyes change to surprise then happiness, to care, before gentle ness, and something else that I can't quite make out.

Seeing that she was about to speak I try to steady myself to hear "Pisces...did you..." not hearing the rest before collapsing into her panting having the darkness consume me.

(30 minutes later)

Waking up to seeing an unfamiliar ceiling but for some reason it also seems to be familiar at the same time, when I suddenly feel someone gentle squeeze my hand causing me to look to my right.

Seeing mom in her true appearance with her long silver hair flowing down to the middle of her back, that led to her beautiful green eyes for her to look even younger than she is.

Glancing to father and my supposed younger brother for I don't really have any memoires of them besides of the image I saw of mom.

But they'd only partially changed being that my supposed dad and younger brother only changed their eyes colors, and had their original features show.

But kept the fake hair color they had when we first met causing me to feel that their familiar to me, but what really confirmed it was the way that my heart felt.

With it feeling like it did when I first heard the announcement of being trapped here, with me woundering of if I had any loved one here in this world.

Even though I have found the reason for why I had felt that way, for why it was with being for a just reason, but my mind was saying other things that combated with what my heart was feeling. Trying to figure out how I was truly feeling, I must have been showing my thoughts or how I felt.

When I heard mom giggle softly causing me to look at her.

Asia: Watching my daughter expression changing from confused, relief, and then recognition of knowing us, but also fighting a battle of us also being strangers. Sense she has no memoires of us in her mind, though her heart beats with the rhythm of a beast wanting to be freed and embraced.

By those that it recognizes as family making me softly giggle having her turn her gaze on to me.

Seeing the look of recognition but also of unfamiliarity pass through her eyes before saying "sweetheart, let my guess... you... haven't actually gotten your memoires back of us... but from you seeing me dropping part of the illusion skill.

It triggered you to have a brief moment of where you were able too recognizes me, and being that you haven't reacted to your father and brother. Means that after drinking your portion of mines and your fathers blood along with your brothers....

You had a stronger connection to me rather than them."

Watching her eyes widen from surprise before going back to normal for realization of why it tasted familiar to her, causing a small smile to show on my lips. "You see we are known as hybrid or specifically thé hybrids, but we've also been called by other names such as the originals.

That once ruled these lands long ago, before you lost your memoires you... used to love when I told you stories of your grandparents and of our lineage.

And when I started to tell you those stories you pull me in the bed with you and cuddle against me... and look up at me with those starry eyes of yours that look like the dawn of the galaxy.

But the best times were of when you and you brother came of age and you started going on hunts with us and adventuring with me and your dad... you...you used to..."

Watching as mom emotions started to get too much for her, where she was trying to choke back some of the sobs that were building up between every word she said.

The bond that we had...or share started to pulse through me allowing fragments of my memoires to enter my mind, I slide my hand from under hers. Placing it on top of hers to gentle squeeze her hand, cutting her off for my voice to come weak to the point it was almost vulnerable.

"M-mom... it's ok... it's ok you don't have to continue I...I understand... or should I say, I can feel it... all of it. Even if I can't recall all of it, but it's enough for me to know that you are my... family and this is... my home... our... home."

Hearing the raw ness in her voice I let my emotions take over me, having my tears finally be able to break free. While I pulled her in a hug, "I'm... so... so... sorry my daughter... that we couldn't protect you back then... if we... if we..."

Hugging her back cutting her off "mom... it's fine... it's fine I... may not understand completely, but from how I am feeling now I wouldn't have changed the choice I made then. And I would still do it again if the same choice was in front of me now.

Plus, from the raw emotions that I can feel from you that're radiating from you, dad, and Jack. To the point I can sense it pulsating through your blood, all the way to your guy's heartbeat.

That you all did the best you could and it was a choice, I made that prevented you all from helping me any farther then you wanted to back then."

With her tightening the embrace having her no longer to be able to hold back the sobs, that she was preventing from escaping this whole time. I feel Leo and Jack also join in on the embrace, having us just sit in each other embrace.

While the bond that was once lost starts to be rebuilt between us.
