Gemini


Gemini
In the beginning I was never very close to Gemini, I kept mostly to myself and had no interest with interacting with such a busybody as them. True, I wish I did get closer to them when they were brutally murdered by the lesser Avarris, but at least I did what I could to keep them alive for as long as I possibly could. I can not recall much else about them except their dying breath: ''Please look after me when I am born again.''

Miirna
Haunted by Gemini's request, I did my best to look after them in their next life. Miirna as their parents lovingly called their strange baby. They were still the same as the Gemini I remember, except a lot more fuzzy. The small child was covered in down feathers when I met them, or her, as she decided she would want to be referred to. At this point I had accepted my role as caretaker of my celestial siblings. While I did not want to interfere with their lives, sometimes it would be necessary to give them a small nudge in the right direction. I did not yet show my face around very often, as I felt it would be better for her to not know of me until she came to join our fold again.
I fought so hard for her, something I did not expect I would do, but sadly I could not protect her from her new occupation as spy, and thus being gutted when she was caught.

Casix
I tried again, to uphold the ancient request my long-dead sibling made. I tried getting closer to them but their parents very actively tried to shut me out of their life. They were nice people, but sadly very scared of me or my kind. I didn't want to let them out of my sight, but also did not want to frighten the parents more than I had to. So I kept tabs on them from the shadows. Playing a waiting game until either this new Gemini died, or their parents did. In this life they sadly did not grow to full adulthood, as their house was robbed, leaving everyone inside dead.

Herra & No'on
Gemini in their fourth life has managed something spectacular! The only twins we have had so far were Pisces, but somehow Gemini managed to split while being reborn! They still are part of one another, as their are conjoined at the chest. After failing them in their last life, being shut out by their scared parents, I sought to be involved with their lives in a different way. I hid my own extra limbs and simply offered their new parents a teacher for their children. They reluctantly agreed, likely spooked by the way I carried myself. The twins seemed off in this life. While they did not recall what had happened to them before, they seemed very distrusting of strangers, especially me. I want to help them, whisk them to safety but I'm not the parenting type. Plus their parents seemed like nice enough people, despite being a strange couple of a Fiora and a Heminth.
I did manage to grow closer to the children over time, earing their trust by appearing to be a steady person in their life, apparently that was important to children. The older one, Herra, still seemed to keep his distance from me, while his younger twin No'on was happy to be handled by me where necessary. I gave them the offer to join the other Skarrid fairly quickly, hoping to coax them into leaving with me, but sadly could not convince them to actually leave with me. I was no kidnapper, I could not simply rip them away from their family. After they declined my offer to join me and my celestial siblings in the spire, we grew distant. They suddenly seemed to turn against me, no longer wanting to see me or have anything to do with me.
To this day I still do not know what happened to them, and they refuse to tell me.

Cassius & Calixis
Gemini reincarnated once again, I hope to this time keep the promise I made to them in the old days. They stuck to this strange form of conjoined twins, this time being joined at the shoulder and arm. I must admit it makes me a little uneasy to see them turn into.... that, as a Skarrid with multiple limbs myself.
