“Listen, I know that it’s not appropriate to be holding you, and I will petition for your forgiveness at another time, but we need to get away from here, and the fastest way to do that is if I carry you. I hope you’re not angry.” Talon looked at her as he finished, and she didn’t say anything. She just nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck so he could increase speed. He felt her hair wrapping around him, holding her to him, and he smiled at the gorgeous strands of silver as they wrapped around his biceps, and forearms.
Talon looked ahead sprinting through the trees. They had about thirty more minutes of running before they were anywhere near his home, and he wanted to be able to walk at a slower pace once they got closer. He lived in a small community outside of Greenville, South Carolina, and Talon didn’t want to arouse any suspicion by carrying a female in his arms with her hair wrapped around him through town.
T
alon glanced around outside of his
    house and closed the door. He didn’t know what the two Syren had been through, but he needed some answers. First things first though, he needed some water. Walking to the kitchen he grabbed three bottles out and returned to the living room. They were both on the couch very close to one another. He wasn’t sure if he should be jealous yet, and needed desperately to confirm their identity before he decided to kick Tyler’s teeth in for sitting so close to
Talon’s...person.
    He sat across from them, and sighed as they raised their eyes to his.
“I am not sure how much the two of you know about who you are, but we are the same species,” he began. He watched as Tyler and Lily looked at each other and then they took each other’s hand and held it tight.
“We are Syren, far distant relatives of the human race. While we are like the humans in many ways, we have some underlying differences that makes it easy to see who is a human, and who is Syren.” He really hoped that the two of them understood what he was saying. “You are brother and sister, correct?” He asked.
“Yes, we’re twins,” Tyler told him. He held Lily’s hand in his own and looked at Talon with guarded eyes. He wasn’t sure he believed everything that he was being told, but it might just be better than believing that he and his sister were turning into vampires.
“Syren are from a world called Amatia Prime. Amatia stands for ‘mother’ and Prime stands for ‘first’. Amatia is, and always will be, our Mother First.” Talon stopped to take a breath. He bristled at the way that Tyler was holding Lily’s hand, but considering they were related, and twins, his jealousy seemed extremely stupid. He tried to check it, and counted to ten before he kept going.
“Amatia Prime is divided into four hemispheres. The Eastern Hemisphere is rugged, and covered in mountains. It’s ruled by Patrick Ti’Druelle the King of the Kingdom of Peacemakers. The Sons and Daughters of Peace all have the same coloring. For the most part they have light brown hair, or dark brown hair hair, and either blue or brown eyes. What makes them distinctive is their size. They are very big. The Western Hemisphere is exactly the
opposite. It’s one of the most barren places that I have ever seen. It looks much like the desert, but does have hills and cliffs in some areas as well. That part of Amatia Prime is ruled by Jackson Ti’Druelle The King of the Kingdom of the Sword.” He stopped as Tyler started to speak.
“So, how is it that the kings of both of those places have the same name?” Tyler asked. He was fascinated by what Talon was saying. Even though what he was saying sounded ludicrous, he could feel the truth rolling off the other male in ferocious waves. He looked at Lily, and gave her a nudge as he realized she was staring at Talon like she wanted to eat him, literally.
“They’re related. The King of Swords is the son of the King of Peace. The reason that he’s the King of Swords is because
