Dark Art so Sweet

by Kid Darkness

The War of Paintings has taught that paintings and pictures aren't what they seem to show. There's something dark creeping slowly that would blur the line between worlds, and Lavi finds himself in middle of something he shouldn't have interfered. Magic comes to life, but not in the fairy tale way that innocent children dreams of. Welcome to the D. Gray Man world!

1. Chapter 1

DISCLAIMER: I do not own D. Gray Man or any of his characters. I am only one of the last Painters, trying to tell my story. The real story of what happened.

In the old times when people whispered of seductive magic and spells, the most popular occupation in that unspoken era were Painters. The so-called Painters had the power to weave magic in their brushes and colors, creating life into their hard paintings. The magical paintings were everywhere, and everyone thrived on the wonderful magic of the living paintings. The era was meant for peace and unity under the strong support of these Painters' magic.

But then, like all things, the peace had to end. And give way to war.

The paintings that were made into life began to run rampant, wild and thirsty for blood and violence. They turned onto their Painters, the ones who gave them life in the first place. Many lives were lost to the War of Paintings, where reality was warring against the painting world. The painting world was then deemed -and cursed- as D. Gray Man world.

Then, the malicious paintings found a way to steal people from the reality world and send them to the D. Gray Man world, replacing the kidnapped people with one of their own. With this new switching technique, it was over for the humans who once ruled the land. The paintings slowly gained the advantage as they threw humans into the D. Gray World and the paintings coming into reality world. It was over.

Until a mighty Painter stood up bravely against the onslaught of the paintings. He was a great and powerful Painter, and with his magic, he fought valiantly. Till the last stand, where he did the only thing he could to save the trapped humans and seal all paintings back into D. Gray Man world.

"—Too strong! Can't keep this up!"

"Nononononono! Hold on, don't give in!"

BANG

"Keep walking forward, don't.. Turn... Bac-"

The last blue petal dropped onto the ground so softly, yet it made the loudest sound of all. As if mocking the person who cradled his dying loved one.

"MAAAAAANAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
