"Sorry." (Amelia)
Yuki gave her a glance but Amelia smiling at her so cheerfully told her she wasn't really sorry. The innocent smile of the 25 year old girl with light purple hair up to her ankles.
"Why do you seem to be enjoying this." (Yuki)
"Aunty June always speaks about mother happily. Almost like a young girl in love gossiping about her favorite girl." (Amelia)
"Hey I'm not that bad." (June)
"Rules, rules and more rules. They're meant to be broken, plus I'm not playing Saint again." (Amelia)
"You! You're supposed to be doing that dance." (June)
"Been there done that as a Phoenix princess already. Hey I have a idea. Dress sister in my red kimono and have her dance for me." (Amelia)
"Wait does that mean you used you intuition and guts to save me to dance in your place." (Yuki)
"Not really. But I am tired of Phoenix traditional dancing. Like I mean come on! Let it rest after so many traditions. Plus this is a abundant race of Phoenixes. Just a few centuries without those dancing rituals can't be bad." (Amelia)
"You say that as if it's not in your soul nor conscience to do it." (June)
"Sorry aunt June I have a birthday party to attend it's my ex fiancé's little sister's 130th birthday." (Amelia)
"So you made me save her so she'd be your replacement." (June)
"Sorry I really need to go. This time I'll make it up to you sister. I'll look for a way to take you back to wherever you need to go." (Amelia)
"Then instead look for our younger sister I left her when I was barely in my teens she was still a child. It's been a few centuries now. Please look for her." (Yuki)

"That can be so easily done especially with a overpopulation size of Phoenix race. A information network is the most we can do." (Amelia)
"You did not just label us as a resource for your own fun." (June)
Amelia smiles but shrugs as if it's not her problem. Yuki sat there stunned as her older twin sister walked away happily. Leaving June with a bitter smile.
"How the heck am I supposed to replace her for a dance I never did." (Yuki)
"At least she wanted to help you instead of running away." (June)
"What do you mean." (Yuki)
"Back when she was 4 years old she'd do anything to see her mother again. She pulled pranks, abused her powers from her past lives. (Remember she used to be the former Phoenix princess Aries who was framed.) About any old tricks in the book so she could go see her mother who cared enough to get her away from the clan. She was the most upset when she heard your mother died. After that she just kept running away from responsibilities after another." (June)
"Wait what happens if you guys like skip the rituals like she said." (Yuki)
"A supernatural disaster. This ritual was created by our ancestors to avoid a calamity that might kill our whole race, not using it did cause the floating island to fall and made our race live in the desert for many centuries. We're just happy to have the floating island back." (June)
Yuki stared at June's bitter expression as if her favorite pet died. Talking from experience told her them living in the desert must've been harsh.
"Who was in reign during that time." (Yuki)
"The lost Empress Ember. Her lineage ended with her in the desert. Let's just say massacred along with some others of our race." (June)

Even Yuki knew how to read the mood since June didn't want to talk about the fall of the island. Her guess is her sister probably though it was a myth due to their so highly populated Phoenixes in this current era.
"If she's leaving then does that mean I have to do the dance even though I look nothing like her." (Yuki)
(aside from her eyes that is)
"I'll do so instead. She's as stubborn as they come. You might want to watch too but do remember to use illusion to hide yourself. The gods are most cautious towards figures that look like immportant figures of the past since they are more powerful than they look. Also you might have a few angels trying to kill you on the spot as blasphemy for trying to look like Hina." (June)
"Damn weren't they the ones that disrespected Hina's corpse by putting it into a statue and molding it. They're all hypocrites." (Yuki)
"By that I mean most would be offended even if you did fuse with her." (June)
"I think I'll take up her offer on the dance. But you'll have to teach me." (Yuki)
