Chapter 15: Sienna and Arya (Part-2) (1/2)

”They are coming… run…”

…

I look at the teal haired woman with a frown and forcibly remove my hand from her grip.

”We will talk later. Her condition is critical and she needs help,” I say while pointing at the redhead.

”But sister… Her last wish is to save…”

I don't wait for her to finish and quickly stand up. Then, I start running towards my room but before I can reach it, the door opens up from the inside.

”What with these loud noises…”

Lucy steps out and her voice trails off as she sees the bloody scenery in front of her eyes.

”LUCAS!” she shrieks looking at my blood-stained shirt.

”Not mine. Where is the nectar, sister!?” I say urgently.

Lucy gives a quick glance behind me and seems to understand the emergency of the situation, as immediately after, she gives me a nod before running back inside the room.

A few seconds later, she comes back and hands me a small glass bottle filled with a shiny golden liquid. While running back towards the redhead, I open the stopper of this bottle and pour a small amount of the golden liquid inside my mouth.

Reaching her, I grab hold of her jaw, and to make her drink the nectar forcibly through mouth-to-mouth. Even though the irony taste of blood spread across my taste buds, I keep my mouth connected with hers until all the nectar gets transferred.

Then, I again pour some nectar inside my mouth and move towards the teal-haired woman to give her mouth-to-mouth as well.

”I can drink by myself—Muuhhhm”

This time, I face a little difficulty as her tongue keeps getting in my way, but I still manage to somehow force all the nectar down the throat.

”Haa~ you will be fully healed in a minute or so. The redhead will take a longer time. Probably even an entire day,” I say while sitting back straight.

At first, the teal haired woman frowns at me with blushing cheeks but then, her expressions change to that of wonderment as all her bruises and cuts start to disappear one-by-one. The redhead's wounds also stop bleeding and a little color returns to her lifeless face.

Hmm… So, it can be used in near-death cases as well, huh?

”What… did you make us drink?” the teal-haired woman asks in surprise.

”Nectar,” I answer.

”N-Nectar!? The drink of the gods!?” she exclaims.

”W-Where did you get that!? And who are you!?”

”Don't panic. I am not some god in disguise or even close. In fact, I am your blood-related brother; Lucas. And how I got nectar? Well, a certain someone gave it to our older sister; Lucy,” I answer.

”Someone gave you… Wait! B-Brother Lucas and sister Lucy…” the teal haired woman says while moving her gaze from me to Lucy who has also come to stand beside me.

The next moment, she stands up and effortfully walks towards Lucy to enclose her into a tight hug.

”W-We though you died. I am so happy that you are back, sister,” she says while getting teary.

Lucy just simply pats her back without reacting excessively.

Man, will any of my sisters hug me? I was even closer to her this time…

Haa~ well, looking at how we have never even met each other before, I guess I should be happy that they at least know about me.

”So, are you Sienna or Arya?” I ask while standing up as well.

”I am Arya. And thank you for saving sister Sienna. I was so scared…” she says.

Arya is my younger sister. If I remember correctly, she should be 18 years old right now, making her a year older than the twins and a year younger than me.

And the redhead resting on the floor is my older sister Sienna. She is 22 years old and is the second oldest among us six siblings.

”Sister Arya…”

Suddenly, Iris says while walking towards Arya and hugging her. Ivy moves towards Sienna and places her hand on top of her head as if checking her temperature. Though her face is still expressionless, I can tell that she is really concerned.

”What happened to both of you?” Iris asks in a scared voice.

Arya's expressions turn seriously again and she looks at all of us.

”There are Gegenees in the forest…” she informs us.

”Gegenees? Here?” I ask while raising my eyebrows.

Gegenees is a race of six-armed giants that are found in the eastern part of the country. They are children of Gaia, the goddess of earth, and thus, are also known as the earthborn.

But still, for Gegenees to appear in the southern region…

”Do you know how they got here?” I ask.

”No, I was shocked as well when they appear out of nowhere and started attacking our hunting party. Nearly everyone was killed. I would have died as well if sister Sienna wouldn't have protected me using her own body as a shield,” She answers.

”Well, it certainly explains the condition of her body,” I say while looking down at Sienna resting on the floor.
