Trigger warning: mention of sexual assault and death.

August 7, 2022

The twins have been back since January 2022 and finally decided to make themselves known when Zane spotted them at the store a few day ago. As soon as the nindroid opened the door to let them in, Kai went on the attack. He stopped when a spear landed in front of him. Kai looked at Ash, who was sitting on the wall. "So that's why you had a spear with you since we woke up. Ok, I'm sorry for trying to attack an old friend of yours." Ash just looked at Kai.

"What happened to your eye? It's all bruised." Nix asked.

"I got into a physical altercation with an old bully of mine." Krux knew who Ash was talking about.

"Why?" Nix asked again.

"He was making fun of me for being, how do I put it lightly? Oh, for me being a product of sexual assault. And basically calling my mother a whore and saying that she deserved it." The twins stood there in silence at what they just heard. "I walked away to be the bigger person in the situation. Damion got mad because he couldn't get a ride out of me and decided to strike me in the face. I didn't start the fight, but I sure as hell finished it." Ash told them.

"What did you do to Damion?" Nix asked.

"I broke his nose, broke his jaw, and knocked out four of his front teeth before Cole tackled me to the ground. I didn't even get in trouble for it. I may not have known my mother as she passed away after I was born, but never speak of her in that way."

"Wow. If you're capable of doing that to a bully, then you could have done that to me." Nix said.

"Why would you think that? You didn't insult my mother. Though I wanted to backhand you for the comment about my flat chest." Ash replied.

"I thought you were a boy. You had short hair at the time as well."

"And I thought you were a girl with that long hair of yours. The reason why my hair was short it's because I had lice at the time. I cut it so it was easier to manage. I don't wish lice upon anyone, except Damion." Ash told Nix with a smug look.

"Oh ok. Carry on."

"Hey Sandy, I got something to show you." Ash stood up, but before Krux could say anything, she jumped off the wall, making him panic.

"OH MY GOSH!" That was when everyone saw a red flash and a dragon appeared and landed on the wall. Krux instantly recognized her by the blackeye and smiled. "You found your form. Would have never thought of it to be a dragon though." Ash shapeshifted back.

"Dad told me that the dragon form is rare and only one other Formling had that form. And I'm possibly related to him or her. And before you ask, my mother's form was an eagle."

"I THINK YOU'RE CUTE!" Nix blurted out before covering his mouth. Everyone else laughed, as Cole patted his back.

"Good luck there bud. Ash has rejected every man that tried to count her. Especially men that are ten years older than her."

"We'll, I'm twenty nine." Nix told Cole.

"Then you might have a chance. Oh, and Ash wants kids in the future."

"I do too, but I'm infertile." Ash told Nix that she didn't care and they could always adopt. The two started dating.

Ash and Nix married and eventually adopted a daughter.

I'm here, don't worry. Going to start putting trigger warnings if need be.
