An Owl's Rise

Standing in a daze Evelyn felt her mind going blank as she stared at the owl that claimed to be her sister.

It had now been several years at this point since she had been reborn into this new world as an owl and she honestly figured that her sister was dead just like the rest of her family.

Still, she had not seen her sister die, so it was possible she had survived.

However, when her mind began to work again Evelyn's distrustful nature came back out.

It was all just a bit convenient that her supposed sister had shown up immediately after she had gained more notoriety for beating Devurg's team.

For all she knew, this was just some elaborate trap.

Yet as she went to deny any relation to this owl, she simply could not get the words out and she felt tears start to fall down her face.

Deep down she could feel the familial relation.

She did not know if it was some instinct that all owls had to recognize their family, but despite the rational part of her mind telling her that there was no evidence that this owl was her sister, she could not shake the feeling that this truly was her sister.

'Last time I saw her we were both still just wild rank beasts that were only just starting to learn how to hunt. Could this really be her?'

Unable to simply walk away from the possibility of having found her sister, Evelyn told Bylur and Rehni to go on without her.

"I will come celebrate our victory with both of you later. For now, I need to confirm if she really is my sister."

"Are you sure you do not want us to come with you Evelyn?" Rehni asked, knowing that Evelyn was acting unusual.

Normally she would be far more cautious and would not meet with a stranger all alone after just meeting them.

"Yeah, it will be fine." Evelyn assured her friends.

With reluctant looks on their faces Bylur and Rehni did as Evelyn wanted and left her alone.

Once they were gone Evelyn turned back towards the owl that claimed to be her sister and told her to follow her.

Along the way to a private room where they could speak Evelyn's mind began racing and she could not help but glance back from time to time.

'She really does look uncannily like my mother. Perhaps if I did not end up with the Aethersphere and having my body changed I would have looked similar.' Evelyn thought.

Eventually she made it to a meeting room within the Ranking Hall and after using her identification cuff to pay a fee to use it entered.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Inside she sat down on one of the cushions and beckoned the owl claiming to be her sister to sit across from her.

"Now you say you are my sister, but how did you come to this conclusion? I have not seen my sister in years and my form has changed several times since then." Evelyn said her tone laced with suspicion.

Her words and attitude clearly hurt her supposed sister, who looked heartbroken to be questioned so after their miraculous reunion.

"I can tell that its you. Can't you feel it? We are family." Evelyn's sister said with water eyes.

"I certainly do feel something, an instinct or maybe even my magical energy resonating with yours. But I have been hurt too many times. I need to make sure that you really are my sister. And even if you are I still do not know if I will be able to trust you." Evelyn said.

Seeing how guarded Evelyn was, her sister realized that she truly must have been through far more than she even imagined.

"I am sorry, it must have been difficult to go through what you did. If you want me to prove it I can tell you what I remember about our lives in the nest. And about the last day when all of you disappeared."

After that Evelyn's sister retold everything she remembered from when they were still children.

It honestly was not all that much or detailed, probably because they had still been young at the time and only Evelyn had what could be considered a higher level of intelligence thanks to her memories from her past life.

Nevertheless, it was enough for Evelyn to conclude that this really was her sister.

She had given information that only members of their family would have been able to know.

"I remember when you flew away that I wanted to tell you to stop or even go with you, but I did as our mother said and stayed in the nest. I still regret doing so to this day. You cannot imagine how lonely it was to wait for a family that never came back."

Hearing the pain in her sister's voice and realizing that this truly was a member of her family, the only one she had left. Evelyn opened up her wings and wrapped her sister in them.

Her sister was feeling a similar pain to her from the loss of their family and Evelyn felt conform in finally having someone to share the experience with.

"Sister?!" Evelyn's siter said in a fluster.

She had not been expecting such a gesture after how cautious Evelyn had been acting earlier.

"Sorry for doubting you. I just had to make sure. You really are my sister though and I am glad that we found each other again." Evelyn said, feeling a torrent of emotions inside her.

Having found one of her siblings even if it was not the one she was looking for made it feel like she was not after an unobtainable goal.

'I managed to find my sister from this world after all this time without even searching. I know I can find Mason as well, even if it takes me a thousand years. He has to be out there somewhere.'
