Compared to his twin sister, Allan is a rather calm boy, not as much as I was, but he was very observant of his surroundings, perhaps slightly afraid of the world, but it is understandable at his age. Nonetheless, Anna always dragged him along, so she was always there for him. I can trust her in protecting my little brother.
"Yeah it's almost done you two!" My father quickly hugged the two as the twins noticed me behind father.
"Big bro!" Anna ran towards me. "Did you evolved Eleanora?! I heard that spirits evolve and get stronger!"
Suddenly, a small golden bell appeared over her head. This was Anna's Spirit, Golden Bell. It was a mysterious spirit, but it seemed to be light, life, and metal attribute. The only skill it knew was "Healing Chime" which conjured a healing buff to anybody nearby when it made a chiming sound.
"Eleanora's inside the house but she didn't change much after evolving… Nonetheless, she still got pretty strong, yeah."
"Oooh… I wonder if my spirit can get stronger…" Allan sighed.
At his side, his spirit appeared. Unlike Anna's Golden Bell, Allan's spirit was a Silver Flute. It had a similar ability to Anna's Spirit, but instead of healing, it conjured a buff that enhanced Strength and Vitality. He might probably develop more buffs in the future.
"I am sure the two of you already have amazing Spirits. This is the first time in our family that spirits such as yours were born." I said. "You're bound for greatness."
"Once we grow up can we go with you to an adventure?" Anna wondered.
"Pretty please…" Allan asked.
I looked back at father, as he was clearly telling me to not give them odd ideas. Unlike me, they were not exceptionally talented as to be allowed to do as much as they pleased like me. My parents were very overprotective of the two.
"Well, I'll have to see how strong you grow first! I'll come visit every now and then over the year." I said. "So make sure to train your magic and everything for that day, okay?"
I had been teaching them magic and even created Magic Circles for them. They were born with Awakened Ki as my mother had her KI already awakened too. If this continues on, our family will be born naturally stronger and stronger over time, as the Ki passes down from family member to family member, the same for Magic Circles.
I had written many Ki Manipulation and Magic Circle Books with Eric's help over the years, which we had kept a secret for our families benefit only. Eric's uncle and aunt had a daughter two days ago, so he wanted to leave all these things for her. The same was for Eric's little siblings.
"Okaay!" Anna seemed willing to show me her training in the future.
"You're not coming soon?" Allan asked while feeling saddened.
"Well, I'll be coming back several times…" I sighed.
"Don't go…" Allan suddenly hugged me, without wanting to let go of me.
"Sigh… Come on Allan, you're not a baby anymore, right?" My father asked.
"Your brother will go on an important journey. Instead of trying to stop him, you have to cheer up for him and hope he goes well. He'll bring you stories and gifts every time he comes back." My father tried to cheer up my little brother.
"Really?" Allan asked.
"Yeah, really?" Asked Anna.
"Yeah… I will bring you amazing equipment, items, and books to read. So make sure to behave well and grow stronger." I said. "Also help your parents in every chore you can if possible. Your grandmother can't help as much as she used to, and without me to help out, you'll have to do what you can to help the family."
"Alright!" Anna was pumped up.
"Sure…" Allan smiled sweetly.
"Anna, make sure to protect Allan." I kissed my little sister's forehead, and then hugged Allan.
"I will!" Anna was as energetic as ever.
"Now, let's go eat, I am starving."
Like that, we walked back home. An army of people greeted my sight. Elizabeth, Chris, Eric, Erdrich, Jack, Seth, mother, grandmother, Chris' entire family, Eric's aunt and uncle and their little daughter, and of course, Eleanora and Erika.
They all have grown up since those years back then. Erdrich was the elephant on the room though, he had grown excessively tall as he was now almost 15 years, he was always one and a half years older than all of us. His body had grown muscular and he looked to be already on his early twenties or something, despite still being a teen.
Over time his eyes had grown red colored, and his hair became slightly reddish brown too, probably his demon bloodline developing with him.
"Hey Blake! You're late! Were you too busy kissing with Erika or something?"
"Hey shut up dummy! How can you say that out loud?!"
Elizabeth reprimanded Erdrich. She had grown as well, not much in stature, but in appearance. She resembled a beautiful young maiden the more she grew up, her blonde hair was now made into several braids, and her eyes only grew smarter and sharper as she grew older. Her goody-goody personality have changed as well, as she became sharper and more intuitive with various things.
She was quite bossy with a most of the group except me.
"Happy birthday Blake!" She said with a smile.
"We've got you a lot of presents, haha…" Eric laughed slightly nervously as he seemed tired, as if he had ran a marathon. Did he just came back from his house in a hurry?
Eric seemed to be the most noticeable in change of appearance compared to his younger years. His baby-like face was still there but not as much, he seemed more experienced, and he wasn't as skinny either, having a well-developed physique thanks to the exercise regimes I've put him into through the years.
"Hahaha, Blake you won't believe this. Eric forgot making you a gift and had to go back home and pull something out with Alchemy!" Chris laughed.
