Thread: Before Fate Would have it

Tsukiko Kimiko Tsukiko stared into the forest her eyes narrowed and her lips pursed tightly together. She nodded slowly at her sisters warning in acknowledgement ...Hey Hikaru, please stay close to me..I know you don't like being near all the destruction...but I have a bad feeling...so please? she thought to her sister as they moved warily through the forest. Sure they'd only been on this planet a month, hell they'd only been alive for a month. However they knew when something wasn't right, it was a feeling that rang inside of them like an alarm that signaled impending doom or trouble. Her eyes darted from side to side narrowed almost like she was trying to see through something. Their short time spent in this world had shown them many wonders and a lot of beauty all the potential the world had, however this place seemed almost like an illusion in it's serenity. The leaves shimmered a stunning green and swayed lazily on the almost too perfect breeze. The sun shone in all the right places at just the right amount of lighting and shading. The animal noises at that thought Tsukiko blinked and swiveled her head from side to side quickly, stopping she closed her eyes and lowered her head listening. After a moment she raised her head ..There are no animal noises nor any bug sounds... she thought glancing at her twin. Their creator hadn't done much research in the ways of the world or had wanted them to stick out like a sore thumb. Nothing about them was ordinary everything about them seemed to scream HEY I'M NOT FROM HERE!. At a distance you wouldn't really notice but the closer they got the more surreal they seemed. Not to mention that they were exact copies of each other and looked more like clones or duplicates than actual twins. From their long oddly colored hair to their too perfectly smooth flawless skin and their too deep eyes, their clothes were also oddly designed and looked nothing like anything in the country. They looked like dolls created by some master craftsman, not like humans. In fact it was quite understandable why some might think they were demons but even in the demon world they looked strange and a bit unreal. Biting the inside of her lip Tsukiko's eyes traveled along the perimeter of the area, she'd been having the oddest sensation of being watched by someone and up until that point she couldn't tell where this feeling was coming from. A movement, or rather a shimmer in the area around them caught her eyes and her eyes darted to the aforementioned area just in time to see something quite strange. She saw another type of forest just outside of it but the image was gone just as quickly as it had come. Instinctively she tightened her grip around Hikaru's hand slightly but not enough to hurt and pulled her closer to her. She didn't know why she'd felt a sudden urge to protect her sister, she knew Hikaru was more than capable of protecting herself. However she also knew the pain it caused her to just watch and it hurt her to think about putting her sister through such a thing. The sisters powers were un-imaginable and almost godly in nature, however as they were it was all mostly untapped potential but, the sheer power their presence commanded was enough to cause ripples and tears in the illusion but only slightly. Tsukiko's eyes wandered over the treetops and fixated on a certain spot and she knew thats where the person..or rather thing was that had been watching them. She couldn't actually see him but the way she was staring at that area if anyone had been on the other side they'd have felt like she actually could see them. After a moment she blinked and turned her gaze from the spot and back to her sister ..Have you felt it too? A sort of odd magic?...I think...that whatever is in here isn't human... she thought biting her bottom lip contemplatively. As things stood either their powers would well up to much inside the illusion and shatter it completely or they'd get approached by whatever was causing the trouble. They might decide to play along for awhile just to see what would happen should they fall for the illusion. What..should be done? she thought blinking.
