...He is in bad shape by now. His missing eye that he retrieved from Gaheel Ja has fully regenerated, so the eyepatch is gone. Both eyes now glow with an eerie blue; far more than what could ever be called natural. His voice has changed slightly- It's more gutteral. He finds some problems finding words in both Aradjian and the common tongue-- Yet is capable still. Most alarmingly, he's found his body has started to evolve in other ways. Namely via rather painful and itchy chimera wing upon one of his legs. He's concealed it, of course. Telling Vincent would just spell disaster.
He collects everything that is his, decided already to just leave. He knows that it is his fault Eiko's disappeared. He knows that he was supposed to be watching her. Half of him even wonders if she's attempted to find him.
He's somewhat sure Vincent will understand...
And he turns.
...Then he drops his scimitar.
A girl stands before him-- even shorter than he, with hair raven black and pulled into ponytail at the lower side of her head-- though her bangs breaking free in places. Her face is stern, eyes almond, yet glowing with the same blue. She wears the same attire as he. Everything is identical; from the workings of gold upon his jubbah, the same kind of silk which makes his shalwar. Even his dastanas are worn by her as well. She carries the same scimitar.
She's beautiful. Better looking than most girls -- but he doesn't think that way for one reason.
She is his sister.
Amnaf.
His Amnaf.
She opens her mouth as if to say something-- But something is wrong. Very wrong.
Glowing blue blood falls from the side of her pale lips. And then she's gone-- just as quickly as she came.
He reels backward -- no doubt knocking against the wall and causing quite a clatter.]
A-A--
Amnaf?!
...Come back!
