''What do you want to talk about?" Gracier asked curiously because Alex seed serious when he said they needed to talk.
Taking a deep breath Alex looked at Gracier right into the eyes before asking, ''Gracier why did you decide to take as your Big brother? Is it that because you feel indebted to ?"
''As I thought. Indeed I feel indebted to you for all you have done for but that isn't the sole reason for to take you as my Big brother. The first ti I saw you, you look like a Big brother saving his little sister instead of the Hero savings the damsel in distress, at least for that the feeling I've got.
Therefore I vowed to myself to beco your sister, to follow you everywhere you'll go to repay you."
She stopped for a mont before continuing,
''Pardon my frankness but you seed lonely, like soone in a foreign land without any attachnts, without any family, I want to be that attachnt, that family. Even myself I feel lonely (after what happened) until you ca into my life and then I thought why not beco your sister to support you from the back. You are the Big brother I always want to have.''
She finished firmly by adding,
''It's selfish to decide this without consulting you first but I want to be your sister. We will protect each other until death separates us. It's what I have decided and nothing going to change my decision.''
Alex couldn't retort for a while, the girl had taken her decision so it was his turn to do the sa. Honestly speaking, he had saved her on a whim not because he was playing the Hero, as he had previously told Silveria he couldn't look elsewhere when those gangsters were trying to abduct the girl right before his eyes therefore he saved the girl.
Never he would have thought that the girl would get attached to him, pleasantly she was talented, she had seen him as her Big brother, and truth be told recently Alex was starting to see her as a real sister. He couldn't deny that what the girl said held so truths in it, he was feeling lonely since he set foot into this world where he didn't have neither family nor friends properly speaking.
He was all alone until he encounters her.
Even if they knew each other for a few days only, unmistakably they existed a special bond between them. Alex would gladly accept taking Gracier as his sister, a part of his family, the first mber of his family in this new world.
'Grandma would be proud to have a granddaughter like her. I hope you doing well over there. I'm trying my best here, I'm about to have a little sister. Live well and don't worry about , I'll take care of myself and my soon to be sister.
Our family will continue prospering here, the world shall tremble hearing our nas.' Alex murmured eyes filled with determination and a bit of longing when he rembers his grandmother.
''I'm happy you have decided that. I have also decided to acknowledge you as my sister a mber of my family but to complete this process there is sothing we must do.''
Alex's words made Gracier happy but she was curious by his last words so she asked,
''What do we need to do then?"
''There is a ritual we must undergo, to be more accurate you and I will sign a covenant that will acknowledge us as siblings'' Alex explained.
''Is there any consequences after signing this covenant?" Gracier asked.
''None'' Alex answered imdiately. Silveria had assured him that there was no drawback signing this kind of contract.
It was a simple sibling's contract with few advantages, Silveria said this contract must be signed willingly by both parties, they must exist a bond between them before it works.
After signing this covenant the concerned parties will feel like real siblings sharing the sa bloodline, it doesn't an after signing the contract Alex would transform into a half-elf nor Gracier would beco human, their races will stay the sa just that their bloodlines will be mixed forming a new bloodline proper to them, their racial physical features will stay the sa outside while inside their bloodline will change.
After hearing Alex's summary, Gracier said,
''That's good. I don't want a covenant that will tie our lives together and when one dies the other will follow. That will be the end of our family.''
Alex smiled, feeling happy because she ntioned the words 'Our family',
Gracier asked, ''When do we start? What should be done?"
After summoning an old parchnt he had brought on his way back, Alex placed it on the table near the window before bringing out a needle that will be used to prick their fingers. He explained to Gracier how they going to proceed before ordering her to co closer.
'It is your turn.' He said in his head, Silveria imdiately answered.
〖I know, excuse then〗She said, imdiately Alex's conscious blackened and he lost possession of his body, he was going to watch everything from the sidelines.
''Your thumb first, sweety.'' Alex (Silveria) said with a mysterious smile.
Gracier did not move, she observed Alex because she felt strangeness from the way he talked, it was like last ti. She had the feeling that Alex who was in front of her was not the real Alex, her Big brother, it must be soone else.
''Co on, sweety we don't have all the night you know?" Alex (Silveria) said interrupting her.
Sighing heavily Gracier approached Alex (Silveria) and did as she was instructed.
Imdiately, Alex (Silveria) prick her thumb and dropped a bit of blood on the old parchnt before doing the sa thing to himself.
Then, he (she) started chanting in an obscure language that neither the two could understand. Shortly after sothing magical happened, the old parchnt changed color, it beca bloody red before transforming into two drops of blood. Those two drops of blood stayed floating in the air.
''Aweso'' Gracier mumbled, Alex on the other side shared the sa feeling as well.
''I know, with this, my work is done.'' Alex (Silveria) said before letting Alex regains control of his body.
Before Gracier could ask what he (she) ant Alex stared at her, he approached her and whispered sothing into her ears. After he finished he declared,
"I, Alexander Kael Touch hereby declare that starting from today I take Gracier as my sister, my blood, and a mber of my family whom I will cherish, will protect, forgive until death separates us. May the gods be the witnesses of this promise."
One of the drop of blood hovering in the air approached Alex, it's stayed in front of him, as though waiting for sothing.
Gracier took a deep breath and started declaring in turn,
''I, Gracier daughter of Miranda declare I'm acknowledging Alexander Kael Touch as my Big brother, a mber of my family whom I will cherish, support, protect and forgive until death separates us. May the Gods be the witnesses of this pledge and bless us.''
Imdiately the second drop of blood ca in front of her and at the sa ti, the two drops of blood entered their bodies through their chests. The two had a painful expression on their faces for a mont before it quickly disappeared.
Sweating Alex announced, ''From today onwards you'll be called Gracier Alexandra Touch. Welco to the Touch's family.''
Alexandra was the na of his deceased mother whom he loved more than anything, he thought of giving Gracier the sa na.
Gracier smiled sweetly, she was happy with the na given to her by her Big brother with whom she started to feel a strange closeness, ''Thank you Big brother Alex. Please take care of from now on.''
''Likewise''
The two went to bed shortly after, they started to feel drowsy and a little bit hot, surely it was because of the covenant they just signed. They would have to wait for tomorrow before knowing what change happened inside their bodies and what they have gained.
