Re: Night Terrors And The Joy They Bring

[Cedahlia]

"It is culturally true to our roots but has my own personal flair thrown in," Yuui said. "I really wanted to drive it into the people's heads that the Valeria they were returning to was not the same as the one they left, for good reason considering how it all turned out."

[Cedahlia]

"Oh that's cool. How many traditions did you keep? Or did you start over?" Glitch asked.

[Cedahlia]

"I wanted to stay true to our culture," Yuui said. "It's what sets us apart and makes us unique. And it's important to have traditions. But we needed to have the right ones. I kept quite a few but the fear of magic was erased. And of course, the supersition over twins was done away with too. I won't be blamed, or have future children blamed, for misfortunes. There will be no more undeserving scapegoats in our kingdom."

[Cedahlia]

"That's great," Glitch said and put his thumb up. He looked pale, but he was already glitching out a lot, lot less.

[Cedahlia]

Yuui noticed but he still didn't comment. It was easy to distract someone. He was very good at it. "We'll have to give you a tour. By we, I say whoever decides to volunteer to come along. The family is quite curious about you. And so is Wall, of course."

[Cedahlia]

"Oh they are??" Glitch said, he hadn't expected that kind of response but he was glad for it.

[Cedahlia]

"Well yes," Yuui said. "My long, lost twin. They want to know what you're like. If we're similar or if we're opposites. That sort of thing." People were always curious about twins.

[Cedahlia]

"Do you think they're going to be surprised or disappointed?". Glitch said because people had an idea of what they thought someone would be or look like and be could be a let down.

[Cedahlia]

"Why would they be disappointed?" Yuui asked. "You're not exactly a plain, normal human, now are you? Three's nothing to worry about. I'm sure they'll love you."

[Cedahlia]

"i dunno, people are weird." Glitch said with a laugh, he was still glitching. But less often. It was if he looked towards the windows or if the plane moved weirdly.

[Cedahlia]

"They are but that keeps things interesting," Yuui said. And soon enough the plane landed safely in Valeria. He opened the door quickly so that Glitch could get out and feel more comfortable on land.

[Cedahlia]

Glitch sort of stumbled out of the plane, but then glitched so that he landed on his feet and laughed. "I totally meant to do that."

[Cedahlia]

Yuui laughed. "You did it very smoothly, yes." He floated down from the plane and looked for the car that would take them to the palace. "Ah, this way," he said and gestured to it. He had a driver, of course, because then he could sit in the back with Glitch and focus on talking with him.

[Cedahlia]

He was also the king, so Glitch was surprise he even flew the plane himself. "Okay," he said and followed. Cars he could do.

[Cedahlia]

Yuui was the Master of Flying, the Air, the Skies. He could fly his own plane if he wanted and on one could do a thing about it. But when it came to cars, well, that was the ground and so he caved a little bit.

"It's not to far now. Valeria is not as big as Unova but still a decent sized kingdom," he said as he climbed into the car.

[Cedahlia]

"I am sure it is forever growing with your need for children," Glitch laughed, that amused him so much.

[Cedahlia]

"Well, yes," Yuui said. "But I'm not as bad as I once was. Really. Now I just want to see them happy. But it's nice to have such a large family." Especially when he'd had none at all for so long.

[Cedahlia]

"Yes, ones that love you unconditionally." Glitch said because their parents hadn't really done that to his recollection.

[Cedahlia]

"That helps, yes," Yuui said. Their father had died in a tragic accident. And their mother...well she'd blamed herself for having twins and committed suicide. "Tell me of your family. The one in your current life."

[Cedahlia]

"Jiyong and Taeyang? You already know them..." Glitch said, he didn't really have a family other than that.

[Cedahlia]

"No, I didn't mean them," Yuui said. "Though...you must be an orphan if you're living with them. How did that come to happen?" Twice he'd been orphaned. But this time at least he'd been left in better hands.

[Cedahlia]

"I don't remember," Glitch said honestly, because he'd been shoved from pillar to post his entire life until the twins showed up. "I guess they're dead? Or didn't want me."

[Cedahlia]

"Oh? You don't know? How unfortunate is that. What if they're looking for you?" Yuui said. He thought on that. Parents didn't usually just lose their children. But...something must have happened.

[Cedahlia]

Glitch shrugged, "they're not." he said, he didn't like talking about it but he figured it was Yuui so he could. "The twins checked for me."

[Cedahlia]

"Oh. And I suppose they just know everything, hm?" Yuui said. "Well, if they've said as much then it must be true." He tilted his head towards the window and looked at the palace as it came into view. "We're almost there now."
