Gen 2 Nightcall
the elder sister, the firstborn, and therefore she should be the stronger. but irilyn was born with a terrible aversion to light, and so when she was delivered, beneath the glaring fluorescent bulbs of her father's basement workshop, she came out screaming, writhing and foaming at the mouth. then she lay still for several days, and her parents both thought her near to death. she came back gradually, but her initial attack had scarred her, and it was determined that she should never go outside, but live in the shadowy corners of the mortuary until they thought it safe for her to be exposed to light once more.
isolated from other children and even from her own sister, and neglected by her parents, irilyn was forced to entertain herself in the only way she knew how: she was born with a peculiar ability to see the structure of things around her, their true structure, the one that is hidden but only the most discerning eyes can sense. she crept along the walls chasing dormice and chipmunks that had gotten inside, and made them fall apart without touching them at all. so her hands stayed clean while her mind warped, and the more she used this secret power, the less she found she wanted to keep it hidden.
one night she brought a captured mouse to her father, who was up late working in his basement rooms where her mother did not care to go. he wasn't interested in her find, and told her to take it away and release it, whereupon she grew angry and wished the mouse ripped apart- it fell to pieces in her hands, and her father looked at her, really looked, for the first time since her birth.
he began to include her in his experiments, claiming that her innate abilities were something to foster and train, and that they could potentially be used in reverse, if she had enough control of it. so tiny hatchling irilyn was set upon a sterile workbench and bid to take mouse after mouse apart, and then told to put them back together again. she had no patience for such tasks and grew tired of what she thought was a game rather quickly, and tried to find any excuse to escape helping her father.
she fought her father enough that he began to force her to stay in the workshop, even going so far as to chain her to the table until she had performed adequately enough for the day. sometimes her sister, erivis, tall and attractive and perfect, would come in quietly to watch, and their father would explain what was happening and she would nod and tuck her perfect chin against her chest, and not say a word as irilyn struggled to put dead mice back together.
she resented her sister for the longest time. every time she came to the workshop, her father expected better and better of her, showing off her talents, his research, the future, he said. but erivis came sometimes to visit when their father was asleep, too, for he slept more now than he ever had, being so old as he was. she would creep softly into the basement rooms, as irilyn was cooing and calling to the ghosts of the mice, flitting pale and soft between the rafters, and her sister would tell her stories. she would tell her of the outside, and what she saw that day, and who she met and what they told her, and she told her of her own blossoming powers, those that could make the flowers curl and sweeten at her touch, and make the grass whisper all the secrets that it's known since the beginning of time.
after that, irilyn loved her sister dearly. she waited for her to arrive some days so that she could see the disgust and sorrow well up in her tender sister's eyes at the destruction of the mice. the world in the basement was too harsh for erivis to bear, and irilyn wished there was a way she could protect her sister from it.
and then came the accident. one day her father did not come for her, and she waited in the basement, curled in the corner with a few living mice who had come to see her as their protector, a few under each arm, until he came rushing down the stairs with her sister in his arms. she was bloodied and bruised, but not a mark marred her sister's perfect face. he laid her on the table and said if you do not fix her, irilyn, then your powers are worth nothing anymore.
irilyn tried. she tried for days, as her sister rotted on the table and the chains itched round her ankles and her eyes stung and ran red with tears. she did everything she could, begging whatever gods' names she knew from the stories to give her enough strength, to do this one thing. she would give anything for her sister to live again.
and then she did.
the life came back to her, but it was not the same. nothing claimed from death can ever truly be the same, for his hands are cold and clinging, and his kiss is that of diamonds and rot. her sister came back but she was not the same erivis that had gone. her soul had gone dark, and her mind had turned in, and her body was crippled by muscles that would never return to their full use again. irilyn had achieved what their father had always wanted, but at a terrible, terrible price.
he took her sister away from her, locked her away in a basement room she did not know the combination to, and took irilyn upstairs. finally she, irilyn, could see the outdoors through thickly curtained windows, she could meet customers, she could hear all the stories her sister once told her.
but her soul remained in the basement, chained to a table. and her sister moaned every night for something that irilyn could never give back.
