Now with the two of them alone, Calypsa picked up his phone.

"Everyone listening?"

The other heir's voice was on the phone.

"We're so glad you're okay."

"Wait, you got stabbed, but you're also back?"

"You were a member of the Astrovoids the whole time?"

"Calypsa...who are you?"

"Guys, I know you have a lot of questions, but I want to tell you face to face. Not like this. You'll see me soon, trust me."

Sehki wanted to take it one step at a time.

"You're?"

"A Void," back stepping away from him. With a spell, she summoned Twin, showing off the Void skin replicating her facial features, but with the Gemini robe and hair.

"The other heirs didn't know?"

She shook her head. "Everyone who knew before tonight was your family, Auntie, dead, or someone associated with the Voids who also wants your downfall."

"Jun."

"Yeah. I've had to hide this from everyone else," crushed as heartbreak escaped her tone of voice.

The next thing she knew, warm hands covered her heart.

"It's okay," giving her a hug. He could feel her head shaking.

"I've hid the truth from you long enough," using her staff as a strand of her touched his face, transferring a shock to his eyes.

—

"Don't strain yourself," a woman yelled as a more gruff man and another professor resembling Delta struggled to pull against the force of a Void inside of a tube.

"We've come so far! Believe in our youth."

The Void body's spacial features took time to strip off as a young girl torn between the lines of human and mindless beast howled for control to end the pain.

The sight of a young boy her age approaching her scattered her split mind even further.

"Sehki, please stay away from her!"

The young child tilted their head to see the side of her human face.

"She's pretty," eagerly walking over to her.

The young girl's mind reached out to him, shattering and breaking through the tube. In spite of the adult's concerns, he smiled as the glass broke in front of him.

"Can we be friends?"

He emitted a burst of energy around himself, assisting the older parent in blowing off the traces of Void essence on her body, reaching out for her to take his hand.

Without knowing why, she screamed through the pain, angered she could not return the smile so much she clawed off parts of the energy that made up her body, allowing the adults to rip the source of her torment out. She huffed and puffed, but the boy gave her a toy witch's staff to hold onto.

"Hi, I'm Sehki. What's your name?"

"Name? Um," shaking her head. "I was never given one."

"Did your son just help us stop an apocalyptic threat this young?"

His father laughed, wiping sweat off his face. "You're never too young to change the future."

"Cal-lypse? Then let's call you Calypsa! You like it?"

The girl could see her dark skin and scratched up clothes in a reflection, slightly embarrassed. But that upward mouth feature would be something she treasured for a long while.

"Yep!"

—

"Calypsa, what seems to be the problem?"

The young woman jumped from the corner, almost dropping her toy broom. "Queen Sybil, don't scare me like that."

"You'll grow out of that," recognizing she was staring at Sehki, while the other heirs were playing around. "Let yourself be honest and talk to him."

Her face felt embarrassed. "No, but my Void powers will-"

Wali whacked her on the head. "You're still worried about that? Quermas helped Delta and your parents gain your fae form. We could become Voids too with enough negative essence, but don't build it up yourself."

"Can him and Quermas really turn the Voids into fae?"

"Being born Ophichus helps rip the essence off but being so close to Sagittarius, it's harder for those without a decent affinity for the rest. It took a bit longer than I had hoped," rubbing her stomach, "but you two are proof that gamble paid off."

"Glad," as her parents, Mesh and Leda approached.

"When you were hurt by that herd before, we never expected you'd have enough to become the Gemini Horrorscope," said the latter.

Mesh punched a statue. "That means I failed as a father. That drive to hunt and consume all to gain our own will, even fighting back with our power: there has to be a simpler way."

The young Calypsa rubbed her head, contemplating the danger, not wanting the peace the Shakuhelds helped her family manage to end.

She looked up at the Gemini star, praying to her powerset's heroic counterpart and deciding to take its last name, coming to a decision.

"Mom, dad, Sybil, Wali. Please train me," bowing to them. "When the world sees he can end the threat of the Voids, Calypsa Castor will fight by his side."

—

She detached the hair as he processed her memories.

"Your parents did house Voids, but to revert the Voids into human fae. Your mom always hoped for the pain she endured so you'd be ready in case you had to stop the Voids one day."

"Wait, she held her pregnancy so I could have all four?"

Calypsa nodded. "And I told her that I didn't want you to fight that alone," playing with her hair. "Thanks to her, you have a better chance of using Ophiuchus to free people of any element without help, but: even if I was the only one standing."

"Then all this time, when you said you're an idiot in love-"

"I meant that, silly. How can I ever turn my back on the boy who saved my life and stole my heart?"

That tender smile and awkward blush was devoid of her usual teasing and mystery.

"I," flustered, "it's a lot to take in."

"It's okay. I'll fill in all the extra details. You deserve that much."
