Anyone here have an old life? If so, type it out here.

Xeraliaso

We were playing a game in which we would slide slightly down the Peak of Sacrifice. The player would have to slide down the mountain and try to move a heavy boulder at the bottom. Few could do it. It was no problem when they got hurt, the healers would fix the injured right up and no damage was done. It was that annoying kid, Xerecht's turn, and he was horrible. I flinched at the site of his crash. Then he was healed and it was my turn. I climbed up the mountain, and I slid down the mountain. Before I reached the rock it slid out of the way. Kids had always called me a show-off for the way I did that. I saw Xerecht looking at me with an envious glance.
He came over and asked a simply hard question,” Why?"
"Why what?" I asked.
"Why am I the only one who has no abilities? And why are you so powerful?" I stared at the ground, finally ashamed of showing off.
"You'll do something Xerecht," I said reassuringly." You will."
Xerecht and I had become close that week. I had tried to reveal both the water and nature powers to him. I had even tried wind and dark. Finally, I accidentally insulted him and a heat wave hit me with such force that I fell over crying. His eyes grew wide and my heart filled with joy and hatred at the same time. I let the joy take over and hugged him. The powers of warmth and nature were more than rare.
As we returned to the tribe's base, we told everyone of the good news. My eyes once again filled with joy, but this time, of pride too. As he would be trained in the ways of his gift, he would feel as though he belonged. However before I had a chance to go up to him, he came around beside me and kissed me on the cheek.
Weeks passed, soon months. Months bloomed into 2 years. And in the midst of peace, the strangest thing happened. People became ill, for the first time ever. It was my sister, Yotellia, who purified everything so nobody else would get sick. It was, at last, a useless battle. Then things became very cold, and at the tender age of 9, I lost my parents. I had only Xerecht and Yotellia now, and we knew the tribe would soon all fall apart while leaving only few alive.
As the rest of the tribe died off, I, Xerecht, and Yotellia had not gotten sick. And after I turned 16, Xerecht proposed to me. I accepted and told all my loved ones, knowing the wedding had to be fast. It was beautiful, but during the kiss, I had a premonition: Xerechts death.
From that day on everyone passed away and Xerecht, Yotellia, and I were the only ones left. We knew lying would never do us anything being the last three Argonians, so we lied about nothing and told truth of all things great and small meant to know by us. As Xerecht and I grew closer than we ever thought possible, Yotellia and I drifted.
On a day so fridged that I stayed close to Xerecht for the warmth he provided, Yotellia's anger grew so high, that she slapped me across the face saying I had no respect for family concerns. I pleaded with her to be reasonable, but she said the same thing over and over: "You raise your husband up and place me in denial. I was your family since birth and will remain your family until death!"
I responded with a grim tone, “I have you and him ONLY! Everyone alive is my family! Our love is NOT forbidden!" tears formed in her eyes. "Though I should spend more time with you."
"Oh sister! That would mean everything to me. It was all I really wanted. Forgive me for raising my voice," Yotellia screamed with delight
As more time passed, I spent more time with Yotellia, and I accidentally neglected Xerecht. When I spent time with Yotellia, we would be talking and planting seeds, eating and swimming, playing the game we used to play when we were young. It was all so peaceful between my sister and me, but I hardly even spoke to my husband.
"Are you sure it doesn't bother you?" I asked in a polite tone.
"Not at all," Xerecht angrily replied, throwing his hands in the air.
"We should do something together," I whispered.
"What do you want to do?" I was surprised at his reply, surprised that he heard me.
"We should go to the gorge."
Xerecht's face brightened. "That sounds wonderful." So, we set off. It would take only minutes to get there, and seconds to start a conversation.
As Xerecht and I talked, we played in the gorge, and I made the rocks into sculptures while he made some rings of fire to go around them.
"Watch this, Kehteera," he said as he spread fire out around him.
I smiled. "Great." The fire spread, faster and faster. While my eyes started to burn, my skin felt like it was on fire. Then I looked at my arms. They were on fire. I screamed and cried. Xerecht ran for water, as I burned more and more.
Xerecht ran back with water and doused me in it. I looked at him with great fear in my eyes. "We should take this picnic near water now," I said gloomily as I walked over to the lake a few miles away.
Once we were there, we sat and ate, but we said absolutely nothing.
"Kehteera, please forgive me," Xerecht repeated.
"You're forgiven; there is no reason to not forgive you. It was an accident," I replied happily. Then, it happened, my vision came true. A creature with a neck so long it was as tall as a fire truck emerged form the water and grasped Xerecht in it's enormous jaws, then, sunk back down into the lake.
I ran back home to Yotellia as I sobbed so hard; I was afraid to stop.
"What has happened?" she asked, but one look in my eyes and she immediately knew it all. "Oh sister," she said, as she held my close in a hug.
Yotellia and I sat there all alone. We were all that was left of everything. We were queens of the world; it came with a cost.
"Would you want to go to the beach, sister?" she asked pleasantly. She was trying very hard -I could tell- so I couldn't refuse. We left quite quickly and decided to go swimming for a bit. Yotellia was pushing and pulling the waves around her, and one got a bit out of her control. I tried to warn her but nothing came out of my mouth. Before I could do anything else, the wave swallowed her up.
Then it hit me: I was all that was left. I was the only one ever around anymore; though I kept hearing their voices after a while. Yotellia and Xerecht were gone; I knew that was the end.
