The night sky was dark blue. Cassidy thought blue was the color of anxiety. She felt angry, which made her feel even sadder. Then she thought about the entire journey she had been on for so long. The improvement she had been doing as the Queen of Avoránic. Even though she was thinking quite a lot about planet Earth the first year after she arrived. She was anything but brave when she became the Queen. She thought it was a joke, that day they revealed the result of the election. She was convinced they were trying to make fun of her. But then she realized it was nothing else but the truth. The government told her they had elected her as the queen. "You can see all the aura in the world. Nobody can hide from your sight. Of course, a person able to interpret the aura of all living creatures would be useful. We had that in mind while taking the decision", one of the oracles said. 332Please respect copyright.PENANANhk2Bcbn3B
If she hadn't that gift – the gift of seeing things other people can't – would they still elect her? Probably not. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAyYks0lnsWF

Castor was hard-working but too shy. His sister was the leader Avoránic needed at that point and still needed these days. She was the most hard-working at the time, but she worked in complete silence. Of course, he felt left behind sometimes. That's a quite natural feeling. It's human nature. Cassidy and Castor – the only human beings alive at Avoránic. Sometimes he missed planet Earth. It's like he and his sister have switched places. Castor is the one who misses Earth now; the one who thinks about the silver-coloured moonlight and the fruits they won't be able to taste again. Cassidy had difficulties accepting her new life earlier, but now she seems to have forgotten where she came from. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAUtQSsO7I4d

The Castle was light, perhaps a bit overwhelming. On the other hand, everyone felt welcome. Everyone but Nels, Castor's best friend who betrayed them earlier this year. Castor was wondering if his suspicious thoughts about Nels actually were true. He hoped to be the leader of Avoránic but failed. He wasn't even meant to be anything else than a staff member of the Castle. Everyone knew he didn't fit the role of a leader. He was too weak. Leaving the Castle to work with the enemies was proof enough. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAaRdMTzzb87

"The magicians". That's the phrase Cassidy used for her biological family. That's how she refers to them. They were somewhere. On another planet, perhaps they're all still alive. They will never know who their twins are. 332Please respect copyright.PENANA40JfTVTu5c

"You have to flee the country. You have to believe in your own courage. You have to gain knowledge, and you have to work hard", Sarphira said. The mother of the one with the incredible gift of seeing the truth and her brother who was named "beaver" in Latin. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAIxubOkFaZw
It was obvious who was the most loved child between Cassidy and Castor. 332Please respect copyright.PENANA4wDF4hWEcv
332Please respect copyright.PENANAzNrPXXE720
What’s in there? 332Please respect copyright.PENANAfkIWPEH3v4
She reminded herself how it turned out the last time she was this curious about something. That time her brother and herself - by mistake - released a terrible beast in the castle. But that was a long time ago. Ages. That time in life when everything was a challenge. Now she was leading Avoranic in the direction every oracle - and herself - wanted. She was happy with her life. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAh9FjGi1eAK
332Please respect copyright.PENANAhqKTImjKtD
But, what’s inside that door? 332Please respect copyright.PENANACqstpRsUUj
She opened it only to find it was just another room in the castle she yet hadn’t explored. Same as the 499 other rooms and hallways. That’s what she expected at least. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAlAHzkZdbqQ
332Please respect copyright.PENANAD1UZPpo4qZ
”Ah, there you are! I have been looking all over for you!” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAZLbE0MMsgq
Castor was breathing heavily and sounded like a bear on a hot afternoon while having a panic attack. ”Oh, I’m sorry my beloved brother… I might have forgotten our meeting…” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAY06RwWJMWP
Cassidy looked at her very well-polished shoes. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAbHZcd6yFT3
”That wasn’t very nice!”, Castor jokes. But it was true. Cassidy was all over the place in her mind right now. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAb4IbvBpTnZ
332Please respect copyright.PENANA7rFnEC39gl
For a long period of time, they just looked into the empty and dusty room. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAhmHZLipN8Y
”Do you miss home? I get that feeling now and then. That you are.” 332Please respect copyright.PENANASRbf4KiCot
Castor looked at his sister and she got something that reminded him about brain fog. She just wasn’t there, her eyes were… distanced. Eventually, she shakes her head. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAMjRFiX8shx
”No, I certainly do not!” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAnzFe392dfz
They both knew she was lying. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAupz1KX0Zep
”I mean… Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we had never come here. Sure, this place is more developed than Earth. Just look at the technology! But… Some things do not exist here, which I miss from the earth. I miss the silver light of the full moon. The red light of the moon here on this planet is scary and gloomy. I miss the fruits too. Like oranges…” 332Please respect copyright.PENANANiD1WLj498
332Please respect copyright.PENANAKeEdRSUBDe
Meanwhile, Cassidy was floating away in her mind about everything she missed from the earth, her brother had already disappeared. She didn’t even notice he was slowly walking away from her. It was when Norya came and gave her a big hug she noticed the difference. Norya had blue hair which enclosed Cassidy completely. Cassidy had long, curly black hair which Norya always had been a bit envious of. The yellow, big, bright eyes that belonged to Norya looked nicely at Cassidy. Norya’s elf ears were waving in excitement. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAMn6B31e5Fz
332Please respect copyright.PENANAPPqGpaWfgJ
”It sounds like a wonderful place. Earth. I would have been the luckiest if I had been able to see it with my own eyes. Do you really mean the moonlight is silver-colored? And not a red light as here? That sounds so cool!” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAQI2vGjqfrs
332Please respect copyright.PENANAgYKOwiAPl9
Norya had somehow made Cassidy feel more at home in the castle. It helped a lot to just talk about planet Earth. They sat in the big garden and ate a madina - a fruit that was only growing in Avoranic, Cassidy’s kingdom. And they talked about Cassidy’s old life. The madina was nice and sweet but reminded of a strange version of strawberries, in Cassidys' opinion. Norya hadn’t seen a strawberry in her entire life, so she couldn’t really relate at all. 332Please respect copyright.PENANA1mqw1dSjCN
332Please respect copyright.PENANAq4jCANnkUI
Meanwhile, on earth, two adoptive sisters were talking about life. They didn’t yet know they were part of something bigger than what they could understand. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAN58SZZ5jJG

Aline took a sip of her coffee and looked at Ingrid. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAg165rBJmqn
”How was work today?” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAvNCars2oOr
Ingrid took her cup in her hands, warming them with some help from the hot drink inside. ”It was fantastic. Do you know what? It was this little girl who came into the store today, and she was so adorable! She gave me a piece of paper and she had written on it that I had given her strength after she purchased a keyboard pedal. She was shy playing the piano in front of others.” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAc3iEHIPaBw
332Please respect copyright.PENANAKrK38HrYFS
Ingrid grinned and looked thoughtful when she said it. 332Please respect copyright.PENANA4KZUb8WD1M
”Wow, what did you tell her?”, Aline wondered with eyes as big as planets. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAtXMKIRk34J
”I don’t know, actually. She said she was shy, and I said I knew how it feels…”, Ingrid replied. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAvse3jedh7m
”In other words; you were just a human being. Sometimes genuine people are the ones who make a difference!” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAwSMfmfW2on
332Please respect copyright.PENANAyor1HnrO7h
Carl suddenly appeared in the room. He looked amused. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAfHpedvATlH
”Hello Dad”, Aline said and gave him a big hug. ”Had a good day?” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAvSYs22Ypt4
”Yes, it was a calm day, at least”, Carl answered. 332Please respect copyright.PENANALjBg8cAh7L
He was a police officer and was used to seeing a lot. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAaO4vKY8sHq
332Please respect copyright.PENANA4UAsixXbdG
”How was your day? Aline? Ingrid?” He asked. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAllSTZRyjXD
”Fantastic!” Ingrid replied with dreamy eyes and her response made Carl confused at first. He was used to coming home to a depressed face and a skinny, black-haired girl who didn’t talk much. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAUYmzbD9r1j
His facial expression changed immediately. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAyZHsFxzhcS
”I’m glad to hear that, sweetheart” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAmOaI9dS3wV
332Please respect copyright.PENANAIyTGMsh1tj
Aline and Ingrid went to the mall. 332Please respect copyright.PENANA0SU2rT40Xq
”I know that Carl isn’t my father, but sometimes I wish he was”, Ingrid said out of nowhere. She got dreamy eyes again. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAGt9PJKm4LL
”He could be your father, you know. I think he sees us both as his daughters” 332Please respect copyright.PENANAhsG2RhHBSt
”You think?” 332Please respect copyright.PENANALVBEPNOeqy
”Absolutely, don’t you see how he treats you? Just like me!”, said Aline with a big smile. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAtz3c94JPQl
Ingrid grinned. 332Please respect copyright.PENANAldAg3CLuCf
”You’re right”332Please respect copyright.PENANAnfE3VsnBx7
