Raijia's Priestess & The Older Brother

~"Priestess! Raijia's Priestess! Wait."

"How many times to I have to tell you I'm not the sacred priestess of the Esper's that ridiculous! I'm not even apart of the religion!"

You do not need to be Priestess! It is your power that makes you the sacred chosen one of the goddess Raijia!"

"My ability Physic?"

"Yes legends passed down talk about the priestess who follows Raijia's divine will to protect the esper's. She has saved countless esper's with her nearly limitless ability. No one is capable of having the physic ability, expect the priestess." The disciple exclaimed following Avalon through the war camp. "Legends state that the Priestess is reincarnated for times of need when it comes to pass. The priestess is a powerful female warrior! But has other skills as well being Raijia blessed. In the coming ceremonial celebration that come once every 10 years we want you to participate Priestess to act as a sign of goodwill to try and help end this pointless war."

"I don't know if you've noticed little disciple but, I'm missing a leg. My left leg is metal… an experimental temporary connected limb."

The disciple looked at Avalon's left leg and noticed the metallic colour that could be seen thought the socks she was currently wearing. "That doesn't matter. You are still the priestess! The priestess is said to have an aura of silver. When her power's are in use that silver aura can be seen, affecting both hair and eyes. Making eyes of blazing silver. Marked with Raijia's mark."

"But isn't Raijia the goddess of the sky? Why would her priestess be represented by silver?"

"That is the human version of the great mother Raijia. To Esper's Raijia is the ruler of the moon, stars, and the existence itself. The moon reprsentation granting it the Silver colour, it's said that Raijia created the first Esper they were called the Silver Esper from the silver moonlight they appeared from. She made granting the strongest skill in the world to protect the weaker being's that were created by the earth. Esper's were then created in the image of the Silver Esper with great beauty and powers stronger than that of the beings cast from the earth, while Espers were cast by the beautiful silver moonlight and shaped by the goddess Raijia herself when first created.

"Since that in the legend according to the eldest amongst us is said that it's due to the first priestess being a woman of silver. His Holiness said that the first priestess was a woman with milk-white skin, hair white as snow, and eyes of blazing silver. A women unlike any other, one of unparalleled beauty back then. When his Holiness saw you he said you are the priestess."

"I see. However, I have patients to treat. I'm a war doctor for the Canadian army. I can't just leave for a celebration and let people die while I'm not here."

"You do not have to worry everything will be taken care of."

"… if you get my superiors to agree, I'll take part in that ceremony as your priestess." Avalon paused as her white hair fell from her bun into her face. "But I'm not much of a warrior mind you when compared to other espers. I can fight, and I've been told I fight well but… though my left leg is more stable than it once was with this new design… it's difficult to act." she lied as she swept the strand of hair behind her ear.

"I understand miss priestess!" The disciple exclaimed with shining eyes. Avalon shook her head as she turned and went into the tent filled with injured patients.

"You were talking to that disciple of Raijia yes? He called you priestess."

"He did."

"Well, miss priestess will you care for a date, my angel."

"Pff. If you call me that again I'm sealing your mouth shut."

"Yip! Sorry!"

"Hahaha. Worry not I was only joking."

"Understood ma'am. But do you plan on acting as their priestess?"

"If they higher ups say it's fine I have little choice. But you must admit… if something like me taking part as the priestess will end the war you'd probably take it yes?"

"… yes I would this war has gone on too long."~

Avalon let out a slight sigh. There was many things she didn't talk about when she told people of her past life. One such thing was the manner of her of what led to her death. When every she talked of her past life it was of experience, or that she's experienced things… one being war or has medical experience. 'If only…' She paused before letting out a sigh. 'No I'm sure even I didn't take part… I would have died. They were after me… no one else.' she muttered placing her forehead against the wall.

She missed her old world at times. Though there was similarities between the two worlds but they are for the most part different. Sometimes she misses it but at the same time has little regrets with her choice in the end.

"Ava you alive?"

"Yeah. I'm alive. I'll be done in a minute… sorry I got lost in thought."

"… it's fine."

She finished her shower and wrapped a towel around her body and put her second towel on her head. The tips of her hair were dripping with water she sat down on the bench as she begun to dry her hair. She lot out a loud pop noise from her mouth as she pulled her head out from under the towel, before following with drying her body to allow her to put her clothing back, dress again she walked around and met with Antonio who was waiting for her. "That took some time."

"Sorry I was lost in thought."

"It's fine with what's going on you don't get to be yourself often."

With Avalon's hair that had changed to its short and black appearance the two of them left the shower room. They begun to walk back to their rooms in the darken hall way from the night. They were almost at their rooms when they ran into a tall figure. "I've been waiting for you Roan." a deep voice growled.

Avalon froze and dropped what she was holding. "B-big brother Esme. Why are you here?!" She growled her body tense.

"Big brother?! That's your brother!" Antonio gasped the tall man in front of Avalon had chestnut brown hair and green eye not looking much like Ava as there wasn't much of a family resemblance between the two of them. Esme just glanced at Antonio before turning his full attention back onto Avalon.

"Of course I'd be here after what you've done."

"What are you talking about?" Avalon growled clenching her fist. Her eyes were sharp as she looked at her older brother.

"Tsk such talk towards your older brother."

"When have you ever acted like an older brother to me."

"… either way. What makes you think you can join an s.o.f unit? You have no right."

"I have no right?! Pff! What a laugh… you only say that cause of my sex. I am more that capable of joining this unit!" Avalon growled barring her teeth.

"That maybe the case but don't forget about the matriarch! She is out for your blood! You are going back to the 13th unit."

"I'm not going back to that dull unit Esme."

"You don't have a choice in this."

Esme reached out for Avalon and she quickly avoided his grasp. "I'm not letting you take me back there." Avalon hissed she wasn't wearing her glovers with her hands bandaged. She glanced over to Antonio, she knew her older brother's persistence, if things don't go well she'll might have to go a little further than she wanted. [Antonio… I'm gonna need you to go get the captain. When I lead him away throw my stuff into my room then get the captain. Esme isn't aware of my abilities and I don't want him to find out. Plus we are both currently in the military we can't attack him wildly as he is a high ranking officer. Captain is the same rank as Esme. Go get him, it will make it possible to escape this mess.] Avalon order Antonio with telepathy. Antonio replied with a nod as locking eyes with her, she smirked before turning around and racing off.

"Hey! Roan!" Esme yelled chasing after her. She raced towards the railing and jumped over it and to the ground she didn't look behind her as she raced off.

Antonio did what Avalon asked that raced towards the that captain's office and begun to knock on the door. "Yes, come in." Lukas replied and Antonio enter the room at attention.

"Sir! It's Lt. Padilla, we have a bit of a situation that requires your aid to defuse."

"What could possibly require me?"

"Sir. LGen Liman has shown up and is currently chasing after 2Lt Liman."

"What? Did he state his reason for coming here."

"It's for the 2Lt. But he didn't give a reason other than trying to force her back to the 13th. I now they are related… but I'm fearful it will go too far."

Lukas was slightly hesitate, but resolved to take action as not only was 'Roan' one of his soldiers, Shane requested him to help his 'brother', and normally from just anyone he wouldn't do anything but Shane is probably the closest thing to a friend he had. As he reached for the door there was a large release of energy which caused Antonio to pale. "Not good."

"What was that?" Lukas asked aware that Antonio noticed the energy as well.

"Sir, I can't really explain it… but since you noticed it as well. Follow the energy to the source… you'll find 2Lt Liman. If this has happened, I have a bad feeling something happened.
