*Master* “Pirapancam!” I waited for a response, “I want to know the nature of Merna!” Still nothing, “Merna’s nature is starting to slip out of her skin!” “Ahhh!” Pirapancam materialized in front of me, “Dear brother you know I can’t tell you! Why must I repeat myself to you.” She whined. “There is more to Merna than you are telling me, be forthcoming!” I was done with her half-truths and hidden meanings. “Do you not find Merna to be fitting? Is she not the perfect consort?” My sister smiled sweaty. I knew more than ever she was hiding Merna’s nature from me. “Pirapancam!” “Fine!” Pirapancam crossed her arms in front of her chest. “The purpose of Merna and her siblings is to bring back the balance, something that our dear siblings have been messing around with.” She unfolded her arms and strolled over to me. “You all think that since I do not make my presence known that I have no idea what is going on, though I do. Our siblings have been collecting and taking what energy they want and do not replace what they have taken. They are interfering with the natural law of balance. I will not stand by and do nothing. I sent my creations to earth to learn the laws and to strive for a better living. Merna on the other hand is different!” I snorted, I knew firsthand how much trouble that woman could be, “How?” Pirapancam sighed as she strolled closer to me. “She broke away from me over twenty-two thousand years ago …” “How is it possible for you to lose her?” This was not something I was expecting to hear, “Wait … What? You are telling me that she is not a new creation!” I fought to control my facial expression, “reincarnated?” “Oh dear brother, do not look at me like that! I find Merna … when she uses her powers!” She exhaled. “But no! She has lived and died more times than I can count. The point is, her nature never changed, she is still life and death … a perfect balance, just like my other favourites. Merna though has evolved on her own. Which makes her my favourite of favourites! Gathering skills from each life and carrying those skills onto the next existence. Everything she does and knows is from life beforehand. In this existence she is mastering each skill. is not this exciting? I do not even fully know how powerful she is. Merna never liked to display her skills … unlike the others! Merna is an exceptional creature, until you took her from the Earth realm, I had no idea of her location.” My sister clapped her hands together, “we had a bit of a fight a few weeks before you found her!” “Merna told me that she spoke to the land on a regular basis plus you as well.” I pinched the bridge of my nose, “I thought you told me …” “Merna does! Mainly she wants to know how she can help us and make things better!” Pirapancam smiled, “Dear brother, you have to understand … I can not tell you what is going to happen because everything around Merna changes faster than what the seer can tell me. Merna is a rogue, she doesn’t follow the rules nor the regulations. She only sees law, order and justice. And I know I said I was trying to warn Merna … which I was not lying about. I was searching for her. It just so happened that you found her before I could!” “Let me get this straight!” I was rubbing my temples pushing my temper down. All I wanted to do was yell at my sister. “You are telling me that you created several children, let them lose on the Earth realm and you had no idea where Merna was, do you not believe this to be careless on your part.” I was starting to move my hands around rapidly as I spoke. “We always keep track of what we own and create!” “Merna is the only exception, she is … the rebel of the bunch, she never listens … always does what she wants. To tell you the truth she is kind of taxing at times.” Pirapancam looked stressed. “She does have a strong personality!” Her hands were on her hips, “even I can not contend with her when she gets into a mood!” I snarled, “Tell me about it! Yet Merna has proven over again several times to be resourceful and quick on her feet!” PIrapancam started to vibrate her chest as laughter dared to break loose, “It sounds like you like my creation!” “Only when she obeys!” I crossed my arms in front of me, “besides the fact you lost track of Merna and she evolved … without guidance … with boundaries … What makes her different from her other siblings?”“Just like ourselves each of us has attributes similar to the other. Like ourselves, half of us work better in the light, while the other in the absence of light. Merna works in all levels, proficient in all of her workings. Her accuracy is astonishingly high, which is why I believe you two are perfect …” “Pirapancam!” I growled a warning. “Merna is reincarnated … What is her original bloodline?” “I can not tell you that!” She became secretive again. “Pirapancam, you know that I do not like secrets and lies!” I huffed and puffed. “I can not tell you the original strand but I can tell you this, I only added in the redmints of DNA from my body. Everything else she did herself. Moving from one life to the next, she did it!” My sister's eyes softened as she glared at me, “I do warn you … if you do not want to keep Merna as a consort after she finishes her job … let her go!” “What do you mean and what job?” I raised one brow. “Merna will deal with our siblings in a fashionable manner that will stay within the laws that we lead by. For what do I mean … my seer sees Merna’s fondness for you!” “Do not you think that is a little cryptic of how she will deal with our siblings?” I studied my sister for a second, I was not about to admit to her the growing bond between Merna and myself. “Merna does not show fondness for anyone but the human born Camile!” I cleared my throat. “Think about it for a bit dear brother! She is a rogue, having been on her own for a very long time. Never making a relationship … always on the run! How do you think she would make a connection of fondness … she will never profess her emotions to you, they will be actions! And when it comes to Merna dealing with our siblings, did she not tell you already how she plans to start dealing with them?” Pirapancam started to laugh followed by a mischievous grin. I no longer cared about what Merna could do to our siblings, “tell me what she feels?” My sister held her midsection as she laughed at me, “Where would the fun be if I told you everything!”“Pirapancam!” I growled again. “Ah look at the time … I have to go!” With a snap of her fingers, my sister had departed. “Mother is like daughter, irritating!” I grunted as I started to make my departure back to my room. Pirapancam laughed as I left.
