The Waterfountain

"Umm... my name is..."
*Stops whistling*
"My name is Antoine Rene Mercier, but you can call me Ant"
*Looks shyly at Zet*

Shaking her head to Zetta's question, Isabella smiled a little, chaning Antione's hair color back to purple.
"Sorry sister. And no, I can only change the color, but I can change the color of nearly anything," she answered, beginning to paint a picture of Zetta, but not on any sort of canvas, rather, on the air, as a three dimensional replica began to take shape, looking exactly like Zetta.

Antoine? Isnt that a guys name?...
Nice to meet you, Ant.
*Looks at the Zetta Isa painted*
Its...just like me. But its missing something.
An enchanted paintbrush eh? It seems pretty interesting.

Smiling a little, Isabella glanced over to Zetta, still painting.
"And that is?"
He'll be surprised, if he says 'life'...

"My sister is the best artist in the world, besides Braeden!"
*Hums to the tune of Beethoven's Fur Elise*
"And I'm a musician"
*The sound turns into magic and surrounds the painted Zet*

Its missing...Judgement.
*Watches the music...magic...stuff surround the Zetta replica*
A musician eh?...What a pair...

"What's a Judgement?"
*Looks curiously at Zet*
"Is it a form of music or art?"

Stepping back from her painting as it came to life, giving a bow, Isabella smiled at Zetta.
"I'm afraid I can only paint what I can see, but what I can see, I can give life to...," she said, patting Antione's head.
Poking out from Isabella's shoulder, the chibi plushie of Braeden slid down from her shoulder and onto Antione's patting the young "girls" head.
"Hello there, Antione."

*Shakes his head*
Nope its my Stand, a manifestation of my soul...Instead of explaining it, it'll probably be easier to just show you.
*Judgement appears, seemingly out of nowhere and stands next to Zet*
This is a "Stand".
*Looks at Isa, eyes opened wide*
You...can bring it...to life?

"Braeden! Oh I missed you!"
*Hugs the chibi Braeden in tight embrace*
"You've become so cute and small! What happened?"
*Looks at the chibi Braeden in her arms, smiling widely*

In Antione's arms, teh chibi laughed.
"It's not really me, Antione, it's the plush I enchanted, remember?"

Isabella smiled.
"Indeed! Anything I paint becomes life for twenty four hours," she said, as the replica moved. "It's part of my magic, and the magic of Teishoku. This replica can also learn one of your techniques, if you show it," she explained proudly.

((dinner's up))

"Bringing something to life is easy for a mage."
*The magic enters Judgement and then escapes*
*The magic forms a live copy of Judgement*
"But not permanent. Mine can last for two days."

*Look on chibi Braeden*
"Oh yes... I forgot."
*Puts the chibi Braeden on her head*
"Stay here, Braeden."

Laughing a little, Isabella nodded.
"Yes, and even though you're a year younger, your magic is much stronger, concerning life, since you have a much stronger connection with spirits. Mine fades quickly because I have a connection with light, which fades quickly during the night.

The chibi merely nodded sagely, watching the children.

*Looks at the Judgement Ant created then looks over at the Zet replica*
It can live for a day? And in Ants case two days?...So I assume in a fight you can create the enemy and use a move against him/her?
*Walks up to the Zet replica and stares at him*
...
It saddens me to see this...Its like a doll without a soul...Tch damn mages.

Now, Isabella nodded very quietly.
"yes, I can. I prefer to bind my opponent, however. I dislike fighting very much...," she whispered softly. "And I only create life...to show people what they look like to me...and the damage they cause in a fight..."

*Looks at Isa*
Hate fighting eh?
Looks like we dont have to worry about her, Judgement.
*Glances over at Ant*
Sorry to ask but...isnt Antoine more of a male name?

"We could... but we don't do that..."
*Laughs slightly*
"We can't create souls, since it is forbidden magic."
"I'm sorry if you're troubled by the lack of soul in your stand..."

"And Antoine is a male name..."
"My sister can explain..."

Patting Antione's head and sighing, she looked down at "her" with a smile.
"Do you want me to give him the whole story?" she asked, meaning if Antione wanted her to tell Zetta the truth or the usual lie.

Hm? S/he read my mind?...
*Raises an eyebrow and looks at Isa*
The...whole story?

"No...not the whole thing," Antoine replied, meaning that she wanted Isa to lie for her.
Antoine smiles when Isa pats her head.
"Just... the normal part."

"Mm...Alright, then, little one," she said.
Glancing back to Zetta, Isa smiled a bit.
"Our parents...Well," she laughed, "thought they were going to have a boy, when Antione came around. They had the name picked out and everything, and even when she was born as a girl, they thought it was bad luck to change the name, so the name stuck," she answered, completing her lie flawlessly.

Antoine smiles at Isa. It must have been hard for Isa to lie to everyone all the time.
But Antoine didn't want his secret to get out... dressing as a girl wasn't just to change his appearance... it was a symbolization.

All those memories... it was the boy Antoine, not the current one. Antoine was a girl now, those memories were almost non-existent...

*Glances over at Ant*
Judgement...Why must so many people hide things?
*Looks back at Isa*
So if that was the short version...Whats the "whole thing" you were talking about?

Antoine shakes her head, signalling for Isa not to tell him.
This was a secret between the two siblings.
Antoine's secret was because he never wanted to see those memories again...

Hugging Antione to her and resting her chin on "her" head, Isabella shook her head a bit.
"I'm sorry, but its a rather long story, and rather personal...," she murmured.
