Chapter 25 - Book Of Code: Flashback (2/2)

The little girl had her twin braids tied up using crimson ribbons while wearing a black summer dress. The little handsome boy had a black robe and both of their eyes were shining gold.

”This is the day, no, the moment we learned how to summon our wings,” said Mavislin, her voice slightly cracking.

Tears threatened to fall as she witnessed the precious memory before her. One she knew she could never get back.

”Oi, I thought it was to show something non-harmful?” asked Baldwin, angrily.

”Correct but this particular memory sparked sadness within her. Not under the Relic's control, unless Gillian commanded it to. In which I highly doubt so,” interpreted Raiyen.

The grief-stricken girl continues to stare, as stiff as a board along with Ysabeau and Gillian.

”Come on, Benny. You can do it!” cheered the young girl.

”I'm scared...” whined the twin boy.

The little girl thought carefully and came up with an idea.

”How about I give it a shot first? Would that make you feel better?” suggested the girl with a brimming smile.

The boy looked uneasy as he nodded.

”I'll try...”

”You've got to!”

After stating the conditions, she began breathing in and out. The surrounding bright energy started to swirl around the little girl, which prompted her dress to float. Or was it her body? Soon, after the golden light had dispersed, two small wings stayed on her back.

”Wow, it's so huge!” yelled the boy, trying to touch the wings.

The girl moved it once and hovered above the orange ground.

”My turn!” said the boy, happily.

As she witnessed the memory before her, the facts came back rushing into her mind. Her twin could only do things if he had seen his twin sister do it before. From their first steps to their first words being the opposite twin's names, Benjamin would only have the confidence after Mavislin tries it first.

But for him, dark purple streams came from the skies above and towards him. After the cloud had gone, indigo-dyed wings clung onto the young boy's back. It took a few delayed moments for the young brother to realize the difference between his wings and his sister's pair.

”Why isn't mine as big as Mavy's?!” cried the young twin.

The sister then swoops down towards her brother, in an attempt to soothe his cries.
