Chapter III: Explanation [Y]
"What do you mean?" Sirius asks me. We were in the hotel room what him and "Zoë", as they called her, rented. "For starters, she's not who she says she is, at least for part of it." I say to him as I placed a wet cloth on her head. "That doesn't explain much."
"That's because it is a lot to explain. Honestly I understand why she never said anything about it." I sigh turning my attention toward him "Like I said before, 'Zoë' is my sister, but Zoë wasn't the name our parents gave her." I state first, to start it easy. "Then what is her real name then?" He asks.
"Zoroya. Zoroya is the name she was given." a wave of emotions show on his face, making the connection "Zoroya as in the Princess?" he asks. I nod "Yeah, making me Yugio, her twin brother."
"How? You guys died millions of years ago, I mean they have your bodies on display!" His voice had a hint of confusion "It not unheard of one mummified as someone else's if the actual body is not present. They did the same thing to our father's. Besides history books just said that we disappeared."
"You'd be about the age of my parents, but when I met Zoë-er Zoroya we were both fifteen."
"I'm guessing she had the same thing that happened to me, our ages were reversed to about four or five, but we still have the memories. I still got some of my scars too."
"Scars? Did she have get some too?" he asks, I nod "Yeah, she on her back and her side." his face went slack, most likely because he had seen the scars "I wouldn't lie about something like this."
"I know, but why would she hide this from me?" he asks, more toward himself but I can guess the answer already. "Because she loves you. At least that's what I think. She had lied to save me once, and I can tell she likes you a lot."
"You think so?"
"Dude, you did not know her back in ancient times! When ever a guy had asked for her hand she would basically decline them, very harshly at times, in their native language; and you married her! If our mom heard this she would've thought Zoroya was sick." I laugh. Sirius smiled a little, "Did she really do that? I heard that you two were engaged, why didn't she turned you away?"
"Because back then, women didn't get much respect from men, in Egypt, mothers of heirs did and ruled if the son was too young when her husband passed, but all Zoroya wanted was to be respected. And I guess I fulfilled that." I say rubbing my head. Just then there was a slight groan from the bed, "Zoë-" Sirius says as I moved so he could be next to her. "Sirius? What happened?" she asks in a voice that was so weak sounding, I almost forgot who it was. "Its okay, don't worry about it for now; you need to rest." he reply trying to reinsure her. But she began to sit up and saw me. I was still in my ancient attire, so she probably thought I was a ghost. "Yugi?" she says confused. I smile "Yes?"
