Myth Incarnation 2 - Meet The Family

He suddenly awakens with a start in his bed covered in sweat. He quickly covers his eyes as the morning light is too bright and he needs a few moments to adjust to it.

"That was a bad one..." he mutters to himself still groggy from waking up. He has had the same kind of dreams every night for as long as he can remember. This was the first one since he'd had since he turned 13 just a few days ago. The strange thing is every time he had the dream he could remember it afterwards, but while in the dream he couldn't remember his previous visits very clearly making it impossible to use his prior experience while navigating the castle or manor or whatever it was.

This was the first time he had seen that room or the woman though and it had never turned THIS horrific and in most instances the dreams had been welcome escapes from his regular life. A shiver ran down his spine as usual he could remember the dream vividly as if he had really been there. Somewhere deep inside though he felt she looked a somewhat familiar though. He shakes his head to get rid of some of the sleep and glances at the time on his phone.

'No time left for more sleep' he thinks to himself as he makes his way to the bathroom where he rinses the cold sweat off his face, a quick glance in the mirror shows him his eyes are slightly redder than his usual auburn-like shade and he is even paler than he usually is. His face along with his relatively long wavy silky black hair and slender build give him a fairly feminine appearance only counteracted by being tall and covered in compact muscle that make him look more like a 15 year old than the 13 years old that he actually is.

All those things put together make him appear quite androgynous with sharp yet still feminine facial features that are even more exaggerated once clothes cover his muscular yet slim frame hiding away the few of his very masculine features.

'I need to get some better sleep, but these damn nightmares.' he grumbles to himself while he brushes his hair and teeth. He languidly heads back into his bedroom where he starts getting himself dressed

"Lambert! Are you up? Breakfast's ready." his mother yells from the hallway.

He sticks his head out the door and quickly answers.

"I'll be right there mother."

He quickly finishes getting ready and heads to the dining room the scent of freshly made breakfast already wafting down the hallways. He wore some slim black jeans, a purple shirt with the top button left open and finishing it off with a black waistcoat for a classy, but still somewhat casual look.

"...preparation for next week's tests?" he catches the end of his father's sentence just as he gets to the dining room. His father seems to be asking his sister about how her preparations are since she will be having tests at school all of next week. Thankfully he has already done the same last year and just has regular classes this time around, not that it would make any difference anyway.

She looks like she is about to answer, but turns to him as he enters the room and a warm smile forms on her lips.

"Morning Lam! Mom made scrambled eggs and bacon." she says enthusiastically. His mother quickly brought him his plate and his sister had already poured him a glass of milk.

"Thank you." he says to them smiling. His sister blushes lightly at his sincere thanks and looks away to her own plate.

"Of course. Don't take too long, the bus will be here soon." his mother says before heading back into the kitchen to finish their lunch boxes. His father is calmly sipping his coffee while finishing up the last of his eggs still looking at his sister.

"So what about your tests? his father asks her.

His sister glares at their father for a moment before ignoring him to turn back to Lambert and ask with a concerned look.

"You look pale, are you feeling ok? What about school?"

"I'll be alright, no need to worry." he quickly reassures her flashing her a gentle smile. He quickly starts loading some scrambled eggs and bacon onto a piece of toast and cutting it into bite size pieces. His sister rolls her eyes as she herself is munching her egg toast, she is going a little too fast though causing her cheeks to bulge like a chipmunk. It's quite cute and makes him involuntarily smile.

"Ok, hurry up you two. Today is chicken salad sandwiches." his mom calls out as she returns just in time to put the lunchboxes in their bags. They hurry and wrap up before clearing up the table. Their father gives his sister a kiss on the top of her head which she quickly brushes off as he shouts after her:

"Have a great day, study hard!"

Their mom gives them a quick hug and kiss as they are leaving. Surprisingly enough he is already as tall as her and it's not like she's short, rather being quite average in height.

"Be safe you two!" she says waving at them from the door with a smile on her face.
