Four days after Sid's and Scarlet's assassination attempt

"Livia, how long do you think Big Brother will be gone this time?" a girl with long, light-brown hair and green eyes asked her twin as they laid down on the bed of their room.

"I don't know, Laura," Livia replied. She looked exactly just like Laura, and the only way to tell them apart was the color of the hairpin they used during the day. "But, Big Brother said that he would return within a month if his business transaction was successful."

"A month is too long"

"Yes"

They had gotten used to their brother leaving for long periods of time, but they still missed him terribly whenever he went to conduct his business. Each time, they would feel an anxiousness as if their Big Brother would no longer come back to them, but whenever he returned, this anxiousness disappeared.

However, a few days ago, they started to feel more restless than usual. It was as if something really bad had happened to their brother this time, and they might not see him again.

"I just hope that he comes soon," Laura said as she held her sister's hand, while lying on the bed with her.

"Yes," Livia replied. "He said that he will take us to a good place after he returns."

"Brother never breaks his promise."

"Yes. He doesn't ever break his promise. He will certainly take us somewhere safe and warm. A place where we have plenty to eat."

Just as the two girls were about to doze off to sleep, they heard a light knocking sound on their window.

Laura and Livia sleepily raised their heads to see what was causing the noise, but their drowsiness immediately disappeared when they saw the person smiling at them from the window.

"Big Brother!"

"Brother!"

Sid smiled as he placed his finger over his lips to tell them to be silent. The twins nodded their heads in unison as they went to the window to open it, and allow their dear brother to come inside their room.

Since Sid was one of the Reapers of Twilight Rain, his sisters were given the best accommodations in the orphanage, and were allowed to have their own room, separate from the rest of the children from the orphanage.

As soon as Sid entered the room, the two little girls immediately hugged him tightly from both sides.

"Brother, are you cold?" Laura asked. "Your skin is cold."

"It's a bit chilly outside," Sid replied as he lightly patted his little sister's head. "This is why my body temperature is cold."

"Brother, why did the colors of your eyes change?" Livia asked. "Are you hurt? They are red right now?"

"Ah Um, I'm using a special magic potion right now that gives me additional strength," Sid replied with a smile. "While it is in effect, my eyes will be red for the time being. What's wrong? Am I not as good looking as before?"

"Big Brother is always good looking!"

"That's right! Big Brother is the best."

Sid chuckled as he gave his two little sisters a hug. He was doing his best to control his strength, so that he would not accidentally break their bones. Right now, his physical strength had surpassed that of his former self, and it would be very easy for him to harm the two most important people in his life if he wasn't careful.

"Did you remember the promise I made to both of you back then?" Sid asked. "About me taking you to a good place where you both can grow up happily?"

Both girls nodded their heads in unison.

"I've come to bring you there," Sid said. "But, we need to go now. We can't let others know that we are leaving."

"If we go with you, will you stay with us for a while?"

"Brother, you should play with us more."

Sid scratched his head before reluctantly nodding his head.

"Okay. I will ask my boss if I can take some time off to play with you guys," Sid said with a helpless smile. "But, if he doesn't give me permission, the two of you should not be angry, okay? My boss is a very busy person, and I have to always be by his side to make sure that he's safe."

""Un!""

"Okay. let's go."

"Wait, Brother. Don't we need to pack?" Laura asked.

"No need," Sid replied. "I have prepared everything both of you need for the journey."

Livia ran towards the table near their bed to pick up the two hairpins that Sid had given them as a gift on their 9th birthdays.

"We'll just take these," Livia said. "Can we, Brother?"

Sid looked at the two hairpins with a smile before nodding his head.

"Of course," Sid answered. "Can we go now?"

""Okay!""

Sid held both of her sister's bodies in each arm before jumping out of the window. The cold night-air brushed across their faces, as they slowly landed on the ground like a feather.

Sid held both of his sister's hands as they quietly left the orphanage to arrive at the main road. It was a moonless night and the surroundings were very dark, but he could see his surroundings as clearly as if it was day.

Laura and Livia walked beside him until they arrived at the main road, where a Warg was waiting for them.

At first, the two girls were scared of the two-meter tall wolf-like creature, but after Sid had assured them that it wouldn't hurt them, the twins became curious about the monster that they were seeing for the first time in their lives.

The Warg looked at the two little Dwarves with an amused expression on its face before lowering its body in order for them to ride his back.

Sid helped his sisters onto the Warg's back, before positioning himself behind them.

"Let's go," Sid ordered the Warg that was given to him by Lux, so he could take his sisters to one of the safest places in the Kingdom of Gweliven. "To Leaf Village."

"Leaf Village?" Laura asked. "Is that a good place?"

"It is a wonderful place," Sid replied.

"Do they have good food there?" Livia asked. "Will we have new friends there?"

"They have good food, and since both of you are good girls, I'm sure that you will make plenty of friends," Sid answered as he wrapped his two little sisters with warm blankets to prevent them from catching a cold.

The Dwarf then lightly patted the side of the Warg's body to tell it that his sisters were now secured in place, and they could leave anytime.

Receiving its orders, the Warg sprinted into the darkness, headed to the new home where Sid's sisters will be safe and warm.

Sid never expected his new Master to be kind enough to allow him to see his sisters, as well as take them to a village where they would be placed under the care of a person that went by the name Grandma Annie.

Although he was surprised to find himself revived as a Dhamphir, and a loyal servant of the same person that he attempted to kill, the Dwarf could only be forever grateful for Lux's mercy.

When he was dying, his greatest regret was not being able to see his sisters ever again. Now that he was given a second chance at life, he would treasure everyday as if it was his last, and dedicate his life to the kind Half-Elf, whose compassion touched his newly beating heart.
