And he entered his key.
Since the Foundation discovered this "Portal" that supposedly leads to another doomed universe, Of course the staff are assigned to help.
Why couldn't they hire MTF for this? I'll be damned, But either way, This is what poor Lieutenant Tori is doomed to: Having to stay with Kondraki for more than four minutes, Great, Absolutely lovely.
Kondraki scanned his clearance card against the screen, And entered the passcode assigned to the portal's entrance identification, Selecting his kission among the nine ones that popped up "Fides-Idolatria".
He turned the key and the door opened, Inside was a portal, Inside, Was a void that lay completely black, Pure abyss, Neither of the two knew what they'd see, All they knew was that they needed to go in.
Kondraki took the initiative, Walking inside the darkness and feeling himself fade into it, The Lieutenant followed behind him, Though hesitantly.
...
The two opened their eyes to find themselves in a shipwreck under a night sky, Scientists running back and forth, Discussing things about "Deities" and "Children", Kondraki almost laughed at the irony — This was the exact shit that went down at the Foundation.
That was till both agents looked down at themselves: They weren't the same anymore.
Kondraki was wearing a forest green robe, With brown edges and a matching scarf, And Tori was wearing the same thing.
It made them look like priests, And was also somewhat out of Tori's style, But they'd ignore that for now, Walking along the crashed spacecraft when they caught sight of a room through a window — A woman with long, Turquoise hair, Wearing a long white dress with a blue corset, Being tested on by a few doctors.
"That's Eve Moonlit."
Kondraki remarked, While the Lieutenant just rolled her eyes.
"I read the damn file, Asshole."
"This is why I hate you."
Kondraki retorted, Finding himself increasingly annoyed by the young woman's antics, And to his surprise, She actually stopped talking.
They observed her being tested on for a while, And caught sight of a man with dark blue hair and wearing white robes, The leader of this whole project: Adam Moonlit.
A pair of long lost twins who were to unexpectedly fall in love, Incest is a common thing in this world — Not really, It's only happened three times, But this needs to be stopped.
This was "Project Ma", A project made to birth eligible twins for the Twin Dragon Deity Levia-Behemo, And also to select the next queen of Magic Kingdom Levianta, A project that would end in failure, Failure that didn't have to happen.
For a time, Kondraki and Tori, Under their disguises Toku and Tsumi, Had managed to pretend to belong here, And eventually, After a few days of evaluation, Eve Moonlit was soon to be injected with the Seed for Project 'Ma', One night, Kondraki arranged to meet with Eve and Adam, Soon before Eve would request Adam to marry her.
The two arrived in a less crowded part of the Millennium Tree Forest, Kondraki was leaning dormant against a tree, Waiting for Adam to arrive, And Eve was standing quietly next to him.
"Greetings, What was the purpose of this meeting?"
Adam asked, Kondraki looked up from the patch of grass beneath his feet, And adjusted his obi belt.
"I want to talk to you and Eve about something."
Eve seemed somewhat curious, She perked up ever so slightly, But Adam seemed less than amused.
"I know that much, Talk about what?"
"About your relationship with eachother."
Kondraki retorted, Adam looked somewhat confused, Eve stayed quiet as usual.
"You see, You two are connected, You just don't know it yet."
"Maria Moonlit, Publicly known as Queen Alice Merry-Go-Round, Became impregnated through allegedly virgin means, You know that, Right?"
Adam was growing even more perplexed and irritated by the second, Who was this man and why was he beating around the bush so much with historical knowledge?
"I know that."
He responded shortly, While Kondraki prepared himself to speak yet again.
"She became a fugitive to protect her children and disposed of them in a lake to prevent potential public scandal, One of which was found by Raiou Zvezda and Horus Sointse."
For the first time in this whole conversation, Eve actually showed emotion, Expressing shock at mention of her father, Adam didn't seem to mind mention of his, Though he didn't particularly appreciate it, Due to his treatment of him, Adam didn't have a particular liking for Set—
...
Horus.
"What are you proposing?"
Eve finally spoke, Her voice somewhat small with a questioning lilt to it.
"You both are fraternal twins born from Alice Merry-Go-Round."
Adam gave a scoff and looked Kondraki up and down for a moment, As if visibly wondering who the fuck he thought he was talking to.
"You can't be serious, You're lying."
"You were a foster child, Weren't you, Adam? Have you ever wondered who your real parents were?"
Adam went quiet, The realization slowly setting in, Though with a hint of doubt still in his thoughts.
"And Eve, Have you ever wondered why you don't look like your supposed 'father'?"
Eve averted her eyes, Suddenly finding the trees very interesting, Thinking about the low resemblance between her and her father.
"Exactly, What are the chances you both couldn't be related to Madam Merry-Go-Round?"
"I-.. I still don't believe you."
Adam stuttered out, Narrowing his eyes at Kondraki.
"You have to be spreading rumors, We can't.. Actually be long lost twins, Right?"
"I'm afraid you are."
Kondraki replied bluntly, Adam certainly didn't approve the other just saying that and keeping him in the dark about it.
"Prove it."
Adam challenged, Maybe he'd finally get this back-talker to shut the fu—
Kondraki pulled something out from his bag, Two folded, Somewhat tainted baskets.
"These are the baskets Maria sent you both away in as babies."
Adam was silenced for the second time today, Damn, Seems like he did have proof, Eve bent closer, Examining the baskets as if they were the most important things to ever exist.
"I-.."
Adam stuttered, And suddenly brought Eve close into a gentle embrace, Truth is — He'd been desperate for another family member after being heavily mistreated by his "father", Horus Sointse, And he'd always had a feeling he had a twin somewhere, Someone who'd understand him, Someone who'd.. Care.
Eve felt the same way, Partially, Despite being surrounded by people due to being the mayor's "daughter", She'd always felt alone, Raiou was a decent amount of comfort, But she felt like she needed someone who'd actually know what it felt like.
"If you're telling the truth, Then.. Thank you, Sir, I promise I won't separate from her here on."
Kondraki gave a smile and bowed to them.
"No problem, That's all I wanted to talk to you about."
No actually, There's more, Like how the Seed injected into Eve wouls be contaminated and result in failure, But no, That would change too much history.
"Could we talk in private?"
Adam suggested while Eve nodded, Kondraki nodded in return.
"I'll leave."
He turned around and walked back into Central Levianta, Looking for the small place given to him and Tori.
He found the latter in the kitchen, Drinking a cup of water, It didn't taste so good considering the BT era had no runnihg water and they had to drink from the rain, Sea and rivers, To which this was rainwater, But you've to do what you must to survive, Right?
"Hey."
"Hi."
Tori responded shortly, Putting away her cup after she finished her water.
"Have you got them to meet?"
"I sure did, And I told them about their origins and about Maria Moonlit."
Kondraki announced, Sitting down on a nearby chair and looking somewhat satisfied.
"Anything else?"
"No."
"Good, You're finally being sensible."
Tori responded, To which Kondraki just rolled his eyes.
"Shut up."
"No."
