The Pier in the Warf of Thought

"You are. Nothing that binds you. Not to something or someone. Except for Dark Ray, but that's something else. Yeah, you should try to get to him, try to come through his brain, He's gone wild."

"If I'm 'free'...then why do I feel so...connected...to this armor I wear?"

"That I don't know. You've had that for some time, you carried it all the time, when we were kids. Maybe it was your fathers, or mothers. I don't know. Sorry."

"It couldn't be...we were just peasants..." *She set down the piece and looked at the setting sun* "...but now that you've found me again...what do you plan to do?"

"I don't know. Ever since I gave the Throne away, I've lived my life like a normal Angel. And for a reason I don't understand, I have done so for more then 100.000 years. Oldest Angel known to us, used to be 6107, I clean crossed that.

"Then how about we try to reclaim our 'friendship'...as sisters?"

"Sweetie, you already have that. And now, I hope you know that." She wrapped her clearly bigger wings around around Acrysta's, and her armor fell off. "I'll always consider you my sister."

*Feeling the wind on her forme, Acrysta shivered* "Why did you do that? What if someone sees me vulnerable like this!?"

"You won't get harmed, because there's no one here I cannot sense, except for a very few. And I know none of them have any gain from hurting you. You'll be all right. Back then, you used to be the one not scared of anything, and I was always afraid I'd get hurt, or dirty even."

"B-b-but now's different!" *Acrysta stood up, her bosom and legs bare to the world, and faced her, a bit frustrated that she just made her armor fall off.*

"Hey, calm down. I'll drop my stuff as well, if that makes you feel better, ok?" She put her hand on her shoulder, intending to take off her robe.

*Even though she was another female, Acrysta couldn't help but blush at the gesture.* "..."

Aqay dropped her own clothing now entirely as well, and grabbed Acrysta's arm. "Come one, let's go!" She dragged her along into the water.

"Wah!" *Acrysta shivered as her body, warmed from her own body heat in the armor, was suddenly plunged into cold water.*

"It's great, isn't it? Let the water flow through your feathers, open your wings, that's better then any man could be." She floated on her back, in the water, with her wings spreaded.

"..." *She did what she said, and it did feel good.*

"Good old times. You taught me that trick, you know? Ah, we have a lot to catch up on, Acy."

"Mostly me...I've been away...for so long. I must have worried you."

"Well, you have done things I don't know off, we both had our lives. We have a lot to tell each other."

"That's where I cannot tell you...I've forgotten most of my life, since I became...what I am now...I don't have much to share."

"Then, I'll tell about my experiences, and you have the chance to make them all anew. And I think you're starting the same way as back in the old days. With a boyfriend." From where she was drifting, she gave her a wink.

*She blushed* "..."

"You really changed, didn't you? Where's the adventurous girl, who always dreamed of going out in the open world?"

"...I...don't know..." *She floated there, unsure of what she should do with Tetsuno*

"Hey, if you're still worrying about your little boyfriend, I'd say, go for him full 100%. He lost his memory as well, makes a matching set."
