Twin Awakening

After entering the sleeping quarters, Aeon saw his friends rummaging underneath Lark's bed. After a short moment, Eona came out with a small wooden box and said

"Thank god its still here" Both sighed in relief.

Looking at the engraved wooden box, Aeon couldn't help but ask "What's so important about this box that both of you would run so recklessly towards the orphanage to find it?"

"This was what was found with us on the front door of the orphanage when were still babies. It contains two pendants. One is a sword, while the other is a circle with weird engravings on it similar to the ones on the box" said Lark.

"And once you put the sword over the circle, this happens" Said Eona while simultaneously doing it.

Once the ordinary looking sword pendant was placed over the circle, the once ordinary sword pendant started glowing in a bright blue, with the parts not glowing spelling the name Lark. While the engravings on the circle also started to glow in a dim blue color and the name Eona shining in a bright green color.

"So thats how you got your names!" Exclaimed Aeon, to which the siblings nodded.

Before anything else could happen, a green and hideous looking creature let out a harrowing screech before jumping towards Aeon with a small crude dagger aiming for the back of his head.

Reacting quickly, Aeon swiftly moved to the left which resulted in the dagger hitting his right shoulder. Wincing in pain, Aeon simply grabbed the green creature that was about four feet tall and threw him over his head.

*CRASH*

Crashing into Larks bed, the creature quickly turned to the nearest target; which in this case was Eona, and jumped on top of her.

Scared out of her mind, Eona shielded her face with her arms while the hideous green creature started clawing away at her with its hands as Eona was screaming loudly.

Hearing his sister's screams, Lark immediately pounced on the creature; trying to pry it away from his sister. This resulted in the creature moving away from the now unconscious Eona and simultaneously punching Lark in the stomach.

*CRASH*

Lark let out a small cough, Lark crashed into his broken bed. Seeing that the creature was not paying complete attention to him, Aeon pulled the crude dagger from his shoulder and immediately aimed for the creatures heart. Unfortunately, due to the lack of training Aeon barely missed it and instead nicked the artery.

Feeling immense pain, the creature let out another screech and then punched Aeon on the head which sent him tumbling away.

Just as the the creature pulled the dagger away from its body, Lark jumped on top of it and immediately pushed the dagger back and plunged it deep into its heart immediately kill it as it let out an extremely loud final screech.

After killing the creature, Lark looked towards Aeon with a hazy expression and said " I don't feel so good... I.. I think I need to lie down for s bit", and proceeded to immediately fall unconscious.

Aeon quickly went to check on his friends and found that they were okay for the most part, but both suffered from a high fever.

Reacting quickly, knowing that the final screech would attract the attention of the creatures friends, Aeon quickly took the pendant lying on the floor and put it in his pocket. He then proceeded to tie Lark over his back and carried Eona in his arm and ran straight out of the back exit.

*SCREEEEEEECH* *SCEEEECH*

"$%#&" %#%#@"

Hearing loud screeching and a weird language being spoken, Aeon rushed towards the forest never looking behind him. He ran for hours and hours until he finally found a small cave just as the sun was starting to set.

After checking that nobody was following them, Aeon placed his feverish friends on the ground and decided to gather some wood to start a fire that would keep them warm during the night.

After setting the fire, Aeon immediately passed out from exhaustion.

On the next day, Aeon felt someone slightly tapping his shoulder to which he immediately stood up while wincing in pain and said

"Yes headmistress I'm awake!"

Looking around him, he saw the interior of a cave which brought up the memories of the day before as he placed his arm on the injury on his shoulder.

Turning around, Aeon saw the sad expression on the faces of his friends. Waiting in silence Aeon suddenly spoke up in an attempt to change the mood

"Good morning, so what was it that you couldn't wait to tell me until I woke up?"

"Oh yead... uuh good morning Aeon, we just wanted to thank you for saving us..." Said Eona is a quite voice.

Hearing that, Aeon just replied "I wasn't the one that killed that creature, it was your brother so you should be thanking him"

"Its true that I killed it, but you did most of the work. I still shiver whenever at the thought that I killed a living creature..."

"..."

"..."

"Anyway, we didn't wake you up because of that! we woke you up becau.."

"BECAUSE BOTH OF US AWAKENED OUR POWERS AND WE BOTH HAVE UNIQUE TRAITS" Shouted Eona, cutting her brother mid sentence.

"... what?"
