Chapter 20: Aires' Recovery

Erin stared at her sister, not knowing what to expect. Aires suddenly sat up and looked around, the power that had been surging through the room vanishing. Aires was breathing heavily, and was looking around at everyone in the room.

"Looks like we have some more explaining..." mumbled Erin.

~~

Aires looked over at Erin and stared at her, wondering what in the world was going on.

`Where am I? I must be back at garden. Where did this pounding headache come from? Ugh...' Aires thought.

"Aires? We have something we need to explain to you," stated Erin, pulling away from her boyfriend and walking over to her sister's bed.

Erin sat down and looked contently at her sister. Aires stared at her, wondering what in the world they needed to explain.

"I...I... have a pounding headache right now..." mumbled Aires, only loud enough for Erin to hear.

"Yes, I know. I had one two when I woke up," Erin stated, and then pulled her sister into a hug. "But we really need to tell you something now. Once we explain, your headache will be gone. Trust me with this Aires."

Everyone felt a soothing power radiating from the words Erin was stating.

"Not only can they use their powers to hurt, but they can also use them to calm down others," explained Edea, and everyone calmed down from this statement.

"Erin... go ahead, explain. I'll listen... I promise," mumbled Aires into Erin's ear.

Erin nodded, pulled away from her sister, and then softly said. "Go ahead, tell her what you told me."

"Very well. Aires, this is very important, and you must listen to everything we tell you, or else none of it will make sense," stated Edea.

"Don't worry, I'm listening."

"Aires, you have a special power, just as Erin and Sayrion do. You can either hurt or help others at your will just by thinking about it..." stated Edea.

"Aires, my power is through speech, that's how I was able to calm you down enough so that you didn't lash out at us with your thoughts."

"Then what's Sayrion's?"

"His is through combat. That's why he's an expert martial artist. Any Siri that has the power of combat always chooses the martial artist path. It's like there's something inside of them that tells them to pick that certain area," explained Edea.

"What's a Siri? Wait... I'm one aren't I? Then, I should say, what's so special about being a Siri?" Aires asked.

"There are many things that make us special. The one in particular is our special powers... From my understanding, we are the only one's like that," Erin explained.

~~

Soran stepped forward. "That's not true Erin. Shaina and myself actually have special powers as well. My full name is Soran Eyesing Gira."

"And my full name is Shaina Muslise Fari. But what I don't understand is what our special powers are..." stated Shaina, stepping up besides Soran

~~

"Ok, so now that I know that, is there anything else?" Aires asked.

"Yes sis, there is. I'll tell you later, where we can be uninterrupted. Hey, what time is it?" Erin asked.

"It's about 3:00 pm," Dr. Kadowaki replied.

~~

"Edea, I have a question for you..." Shaina stated.

"Yes, child?"

"I was wondering... well, I was wondering what powers Soran and myself have?"

"Of course, I guess I didn't mention it before. Yours, Shaina, is through your singing. Soran's is through Eye Contact. Yours are more complicated than the Siri's."

"Then is that why I absolutely love to sing?" Shaina asked.

"Yes it is. But, when ever you have to go into combat and use your power, you might sometimes find it hard to concentrate on it."

"Then, how does mine work?" Soran asked.

"Soran, yours is the most complicated of all. Yours requires you to make eye contact with your opponent. The thing is if somehow your opponent has no eyes, then you are at a major disadvantage. That's why you must always have one of the Siri's or Shaina with you at all time," Edea explained.

~~

Erin sighed when Edea finished explaining, and then looked over at Dr. Kadowaki. She heard her stomach growling for food. "Man, I'm starving. Dr. Kadowaki, do you think Aires and I might be able to go and get something to eat at the cafeteria?"

"Of course, as long as you are careful," she replied.

"Thank you!" Erin stated, sounding really happy.

"And as long as someone accompanies you."

"Well, none of us have gotten anything to eat all day, so I guess we should all head down there," stated Kiros.

"They had better have some hot dogs left!" Zell blurted out.

Everyone laughed at him. Erin smiled, stood up from Aires' bed, and then walked back to where Seifer was still sitting. She bent down to his ear level and whispered into his ear.

"Ready to go?"

"Of course," he whispered back.

~~

Seifer got up, walked over to the coat rack and grabbed Erin's jacket off of it.

"Here you go," he stated, handing it to her.

"Thanks!" Erin replied, and then tied it around her waist. "Edea, do you think you could come with us? I have some more questions I want to ask you."

"Of course, my child."

`Thank you very much!"
