Now sitting in a circle on the floor, the seven girls looked at each other.
"Why don't we play a game? Two truths and a lie. You tell two truths about yourself and one lie and we figure out which is the truths and the lie." Evelyn explained.
Marina nodded her head eagerly "Sounds fun."
"Who wants to start?" Claire breathed.
Azalea raised her hand in the air "I'll start. I'm half Japanese half Columbian, I can sing and I'm engaged to the Prince of Demeteria."
"Okay... you can sing." Marina stated.
"The Prince of Demeteria.... you must be from a well off family to engage you to the Prince of Demeteria." Blanche remarked.
Iris nodded her head "I'd say the half Japanese half Columbian is true."
Evelyn looked at the nature witch. "Azalea, what's the verdict?"
Azalea beamed "I am Japanese on my mom's side and Columbian on my dad's. I can sing, definitely, however I am not engaged to the Prince of Demeteria."
"That one stumped me. Who's next?" Claire asked, liking this strange game.
"Me. I am one of the Sultan's many love children, I can never burn and I can also read, speak and understand both Turkish and Arabic. Go."
Azalea smiled "I think you can speak, read and understand Turkish and Arabic."
"You can't burn if you're a good witch of fire." Evelyn stated
"You are not the many love children of the Sultan of Ignis!" Claire exclaimed.
Ember clapped her hands together "Bravo ladies. I like this game. Blanche."
"Okay. I have a brother, my favourite food is ice cream and my favourite colour is neon yellow."
Evelyn made a face of dismay "Your favourite colour isn't neon yellow."
"I don't believe you have a brother." Ember remarked.
"It's understandable why ice cream would be your favourite food. It's flavours are pretty good." Azalea mentioned.
Claire asked "How'd they do?"
"My brother's name is Gabriel, he's the Crown Prince of Polaria, I love ice cream, and my real favourite colours are ice blue, snow white, and light grey. Marina your turn." Blanche replied.
Marina cleared her throat "Okay. I was born and raised on the water, I have a seashell collection back home and I'm one of the Hydroshi elite families."
"You were born and raised on the water." Iris guessed.
Evelyn spoke "And a seashell collection would be understandable."
"I don't know, you look like you might be a member of the Hydroshi elite." Claire added.
Azalea did a drumroll with her hands on the floor "And the answer is....?"
Marina smiled mischievously "I do have a seashell collection and I was born and raised on the water, but alas, I am not super wealthy enough to be in the Hydroshi elite. Just fair amount of money. Evelyn, if you'll do the honours."
Evelyn inhaled deeply before starting. "Okay. I'm autistic, I'm a great aunt and I once graffitied then smashed my ex boyfriend's car after he cheated on me. Go."
"There's no way you're a great aunt, you're too young!" Claire exclaimed.
"I'm gonna go with the ex boyfriend's car thing." Marina suggested.
Ember looked confused "I don't know what autism is so I'd say that's the lie."
"The answer, Evie?" Blanche inquired.
Evelyn sighed "I was diagnosed with autism shortly before my brother died, and before he died my sister's kid gave birth making me a great aunt... and I've never even had a proper boyfriend."
Iris raised her hand "What is autism?"
"It's a serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact with others, and sometimes can affect the nervous system. It's lifelong in my case and hereditary, but I'm not letting it dictate my life." Evelyn admitted.
Azalea smiled sweetly "Good for you, Evie. Claire, you're next."
"Okay. Not sure how I can top Evie. I'm the only child of my family, I got kidnapped but Evie saved me, and I was once engaged to the Prince of Nyx."
"You're an only child.... yeah. Definitely an only child." Marina began
"If you got kidnapped of course Evie saved you. She's a good friend." Azalea complimented.
"Thanks." Evelyn grinned, like a little child on Christmas Day.
"You were engaged to the Prince of Nyx." Iris guessed.
"Okay... I am a only child, and when I got kidnapped by two bitches from Erebus, Evie came to my rescue, which I am so grateful for, and I was not engaged to the Prince of Nyx but I was prenatally engaged to Princess Amethyst Stone of Mineralis before I was born and ruined it." Claire said, the last part with a snarky tone.
"You were engaged to another Princess?" Marina shouted.
Claire noddedYep. Then I was born and they had to end it since I was a girl."
"My mum once worked with LGBTQ+ people and she said they're just the sweetest and kindest people ever." Evelyn piped in.
"Iris, it's your turn." Blanche declared.
Iris chuckled "Okay. I go by the alias Siri Sinarat, I have cloud shaped pillows back home and I cannot stand the heavy rainfall, hail, thunder and lightning. Go ahead."
"It's clever to use Siri Sinarat, given that on Earth, our Morgana is called Siri."
"You don't have cloud shaped pillows back home." Azalea said, although she was unsure of her answer.
Blanche smirked knowingly "You love it when it's a storm with heavy rain, hail. thunder and lightning."
"Did they get it right, Iris?" Ember questioned.
"I do love hearing heavy rain, hail, thunder and lightning, I have pillows shaped like clouds, but I have never used Siri Sinarat as a alias ever." Iris answered.
The game was over. Two truths and a lie were told. They knew a bit about each other.
"Okay..." Evelyn began
Claire looked around her "So..."
"What do we do now?" Azalea quietly asked.
"I wanna hear about Evie." Marina wondered.
Evelyn clapped her hands "Okay. I guess my power awakened when my brother's funeral was over. I was really emotional and I just screamed my head off."
Claire nodded "I saw her. You should've seen it. The clouds became dark and the wind became harsh, the waves were harsh AF, then a branch fell and a lightning bolt struck it, making it catch fire. I got Evelyn away before she was hit, and somehow the weather died down."
"What was your brother's name, Ev?" Azalea softly asked.
"Daniel King or we called him Danny. He was my mum's only son." Evelyn replied mournfully.
"A great traumatic experience that awakened her powers." Claire mentioned.
Ember placed her hands over her heart, as if it had broke inside her body "You poor thing."
The six friends all hugged Evelyn as the auburn girl laughed as six female friends were now hugging her, and these girls she shared a room with, they shared things with each other. They were bound to each other for life.
