Prelude

The Beginning

Affectueux looked down at the child with wonder. In the darkness of their world, it seemed to be glowing.

The pearly white skin and wings made the thick dark eyelashes stand out, along with the dark azure eyes. She scooped it up in her arms, the dark brown cloak around it overflowing in Affectueux's violet arms.
She walked quickly into her home, hoping the knights of Samhain would not catching her taking a child.
People from Atri (a dark world is the closest translation) were not allowed to raise their own children, only a higher Promus was allowed to handle the young.

Maybe the mother was trying to get this child out of the hands of the Promus. The young woman thought to herself.

There was a sudden knock at Affectueux's door and she jumped at set the babe down where it wasn't seen.

Opening the door, she saw a familiar face. It was Eiyū, or as he liked to call himself, Link.

He was older now, his face no longer eager and boyish as it had been when he had first came through Atri on a quest to save the demons from Demon Lord Ghirahim's grasp. He had been one of the rare albino demons in Atri, that was supposed to bring chaos to the world.

"Eiyū! How is the mortal life?" she said letting him in, hopping he didn't see the child.

He sat roughly on the furniture.

"Actually, it is going to end soon." he said looking at her, the lines on his face becoming more apparent.

Affectueux felt guilt spread throughout her body. She never liked seeing him become older. She wanted to make him have a life like her's so they could spend more time together. It had only seemed like seconds and now it was coming to an end.

"I am so sorry." she said bowing her head

"Don't be, I have had a good long life." he said no regret in his voice. There was a loud crying from the hidden babe.

Suddenly wolf-like, Link's cautiously approached the noise. He turned to look at Affectueux.

"A baby?" he said, knowing the law.
"It just ended up on my doorstep. I just couldn't leave it out there to be taken by those knights..." she said blushing. Link smiled at her and scooped the child into his arms.
"You did what I have would have done." he said. When he pulled back the worn cloak.
"She's- she's albino." he said.
"Yes, I think that is why the mother left it." she replied. The baby cooed at Link, waving it's pudggy arms around in the air.
Link smiled, affection written all over his face.
He may have gotten older, but he hasn't changed a bit. She thought.

"So, what might I ask, shall I do with it? I can't keep it here with me." she said coming closer to her Eiyū.

"I don't know." he said. They sat there watching the pearly being wiggle around in the cloak.

"Maybe...I don't know, but it would be nice to have a daughter..." he said keeping his eyes on it. She looked at him in suprise.

"You want to raise the child?" she said.

"Yes."

"But it is a demon, it will be shunned in your world-"

"And it won't be killed in yours?" he replied looking at her with urgency in his eyes.

Her Eiyū didn't want this strange child to die.
She softened and considered that he would be a good father to it.
"Okay. The decision is not mine, but if you want to you can have it."

Link stood up and hugged her, his warm embrace making shivers go down her spine. She didn't want to end the moment, but she pushed the old man back so she could look him in the eye.
"Promise me- promise me that you will come back and show me the child." the demon said knowing he was a man of his word. He grinned, appearing as a boy again.
"I promise." he said.
Affectueux should have felt relief, but all she felt was a pain in her chest so strong, she had to keep from gasping.
She knew he wouldn't be able to come back. She flung herself upon his chest, holding him tight.
He looked down at her in surprise, but then, he just brushed her black-violet hair from a pale violet face.

"You know, purple is such a great color on you."
She laughed. That was the first thing he had said to her.

"Yes, it is a beautiful color, my demoness." he said. Affectueux felt her heart squeeze, but in a good way.

"Eiyū." She sighed the name she gave him.
Link gently pulled away from her grasp.
"Now now my dear, we do not want anyone to come in and think that I was your father." he said trying to mean well.

"I don't care if your body has withered, I still care for you." she said the cat-like ears flattening on her head.
Link just smiled kindly.
"I must leave, but just to let you know," he said leaning to whisper in her ear.
"I care for you too." he said making her take a breath.

"Goodbye. Affectueux." he said sighing her name, causing shivers to crawl down her back again. And he was out the door.

"I love you, Link!" she said, not caring if the knights came and arrested her for breaking curfew.
Link turned and grinned impish, the babe still cradled in his arm.
"My demoness, I will love you for as long as the triforce will exist." he said.

They both heard the guards running towards their confession of love.

Affectueux reluctantly went inside, and wept for her lover, knowing of a mortal life.

AN: I know, I know, this is a pretty depressing one, but I can get super depressed when writing. Also, for all those that know me, here is the homework.

(1) What language where some of these words?

(2) Did it make you guys sad to think of Link becoming old?

(3) What do you think Angel(the babe) will grow up to be?

(4) If you were Affectueux, what would you have done with Angel?

(5) Do you think the Promus will find Angel sooner or later?

Okay, that is all for today, I will see you guys later. :3
