Nebula Academy: Search for the Chosen Ones (Start Up)

Ciana stepped back for a moment, quelling the urge to lash out at that response. "Look, I'm sorry for my lack of presence when I was needed. Unfortunately, where I am at what time seems to be beyond my control." She said, complete with an annoyed aside glance to seemingly no one in particular. "I wanted to be there, make no mistake. I just wasn't.

"And if you ask me, your sister was being lenient with you." Calvin said. "If I was to act the way you're acting towards Camille, she'd kick my sorry ass to next week and back with no hesitation."

"Damn straight, buddy." Camille chirped, nodding.

((Should I say that that's what I named my Seismitoad?))

Zephyr sniffed, wiping a newly formed tear. "Beautiful name..." She said, smiling.

Dante's head was blaring when he heard Daphne say alone. 'This could either be really good or really bad.' He thought before he nodded.

"Yeah I know. She was really pretty." He said, not feeling the need to mention that she and Daphne were pretty much twins.

Once they were alone, Daphne spoke. "I'm sorry about what you just found out." She said softly, referring to what she had felt for Dirk.

"At least Camille doesn't ignore you exist." Ellery frowned and pocketed his hands before turning to Dante and Zephyr. "And that goes for both of you, we're siblings but it seems like you guys don't even care if I die."

"Not everyone is able to convey their feelings properly." Calvin said sagely. "They know you exist, and they care for you. Unfortunately, their minds aren't set with you high on the priority list."

"It's okay. I mean, you have been with him for pretty much your entire life and had worried about him." Dante said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Exactly. I got Dirk and Baby on mine." Zephyr quipped.

"I just want you to know that regardless of whatever that was..." Daphne said softly. "That changes nothing about how I feel about you."

"I know and I have Desiree on mine but." Ellery pocketed his hands and looked away for a moment. "It wouldn't be bad if we actually hung out a couple of times like before."

"I know. Because, really, I don't blame you. Not to mention you horked up your lunch when you found out you two were blood relatives." Dante said, pointing behind him.

"No, it wouldn't." Zephyr said with a nod.

"Can we please not dwell on that?" Daphne asked desperately, her face flushing white once again.

"Exactly." Ellery nodded his head and groaned before putting his hand behind his head. "I kind of feel bad though, about Judal."

"There. See? Everybody's happy!" Ciana cheered, whipping out her sword for seemingly no reason. Then she spun around and swung at a falling leaf, slashing through it horizontally. A split second after, the leaf split, and her face fell. "Merde!" She hissed, sheathing her sword. "Anyway, cherish the time you spend with family, because it's very limited."

"Wait, who's Judal?" Calvin asked.

"It's this guy we fought it's...a long story on my end." Ellery pointed out, remembering that not even his family knew about his past with Judal.

"Oh. You mean one of the previous conflicts we slept through?" Calvin asked, rolling his eyes. "Amazing how we sleep through all the good stuff."

"I was wondeirng that too honestly." Ellery pointed out.
