Dear Readers,

So this is a edited/re-post of this story. I've been away for a long time. I stopped writing as much last December because my stepfather passed away. I've been depressed ever since. I've now felt like fixing my story errors and giving you guys a better story to read. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Blue Exorcist/Ao no Exorcist

Sixteen Years Ago

Sixteen years ago, there was once a planet known as Neburus. The inhabitants were special demons, known as Neburans. Sixteen years ago, the exorcists attacked and destroyed all life on that planet out of fear. They feared that the Neburan race would be similar to the Gehennan demon race that plagued them and that it wouldn't have been long before the peaceful demon race started attacking them.

The Beginning of Nova Pheles

Exorcists in suits ran by burning buildings, killing Neburans off one by one. One particular exorcist, by the name of Mephisto Pheles, standing around casually as if the chaos around him weren't happening, but by the disgusted expression upon his face, it was obvious that he was displeased by the current events at hand.

"It's such a shame really." He muttered.

"This is needless destruction…" He sighed and began to walk through the rubble. Of course, that was until cry, a infant's cry, reached his sensitive ears. His eyes widen slightly and he immediately headed in the direction he heard the cry come from.

Upon searching for the cry, he came across a Neburan woman. Her clothes were torn, dirty and burnt, heavy burns and soot on her body. Her hair, crimson like blood, reach her waist, though it was a tangled mess at the moment. Her amber eyes were fixated on a bundle in her arms. A bundle that was crying rather loudly now.

"Nova please, you're going to get us caught, you must be quiet." The Neburan woman whispered softly to the crying baby. She sniffed a bit before she froze. Slowly she looked up and upon seeing Mephisto she took a defensive stance, hissing at him.

"Stay back! Filthy Exorcist!" Came her strong, powerful cry. It was obvious, that she had been through a lot. She appeared to be strong, despite the events that were currently taking place.

"I'll make sure your blood spills everywhere if you get closer!" She growled out dangerously causing Mephisto's eyes widened a fraction while he stared at her. It was obvious, he was slightly shocked. He hadn't expected to be threatened, he had thought she'd plead for her life. It was obvious the woman wasn't going to go down without a fight.

Inhaling slowly, recovering from his shock, he shifted slightly before responding, "I am not here to hurt you. I haven't touched a single Neburan since I've been here. I wish-" He took in a breath, "-to help you and your child." He then swallowed, wondering what had come over him.

Mephisto wasn't known for showing mercy or being helpful. In fact the demon enjoyed seeing other's defenseless, everything was a game to him. The words that had came from his mouth, shocked him to the core, of course he didn't show it. He wasn't going to show anyone, he saw it as a weakness..

He knew that if anyone who knew him, heard him that they would believe him to be out of character, or rather they'd look at him in disbelief before thinking he was joking. He knew he couldn't take those shocking words back, so he watched the woman to see her reaction, keeping his gaze calm.

The woman's eyes narrowed and scanned Mephisto in a critical manner before she inhaled deeply. He knew what she was doing, she was seeing what he was, taking in his scent. He saw her eyes narrow slightly.

"You do not smell like a Neburan but you also don't smell like the rest of those filthy human, exorcist scum. You smell a bit similar. Are you a Gehennan?" She asked softly, tilting her head. Mephisto didn't reply, he felt no need to, the woman already knew he was. He watched her glance at his pin before burning amber eyes met his forest green ones.

"However you wear that pin. The exorcists' pin. Why should I trust you?" She inquired towards him, her body shifting into a more protective position around the now silent bundle. Small, emerald eyes stared out at Mephisto then back that the woman. Mephisto looked at the bundle momentarily, calculating his next move.

'She's giving me a chance.' He thought, before he mentally nodded to himself and began speaking again.

"While I am indeed an Exorcist, I am a demon. Your race dying is tragic and like I said before, I've spilt no Neburan blood, I was only ordered to observe. There's more to me being an exorcist, but since I do not know you that well, I will not tell you. It's none of your business." He then looked towards the bundle again.

"How old is the child, he is yours correct?" The woman nodded, looking down at her child. He saw the corners of her lips pull up a bit before she looked up at him again.

"He is….not even a day old. I gave birth to him midday, right before the exorsits came and starting destroying everything She looked at the bundle, her form still tense and alert. Mephisto hid his shock again, he knew now that the woman was strong.

It could possibly a benefit saving her and her son. He then thought over the disadvantages of saving them. He'd have to hide them, that's for sure. He released a sigh before nodding, having come up with his answer.

"Well, who else do you have to trust? How do you expect to get off this planet without someone who knows how to get off the planet." The woman gave him a sharp look.

"If I have to die to get off. So be it. As long as my child gets off safely." Mephisto nodded.

"I will help you both off this planet, only if you wish it. If you do not hurry however I will leave you to find out your own way off. If you do not hurry after I leave, you both with die along with your planet." He said softly.

"Choose quickly." He looked to the side, waiting patiently for her answer.

The woman's eyes widened at his words before she looked down to her child. If he was truthful, their lives would be safe. If he wasn't, they would both parish. If he left, they would both surely perish in that condition as well. After a few moments the woman looked up at him, eyes filled with worry yet with fierceness as well.

"I will go with you. Try anything and I will kill you." Mephisto smirked.

"Good answer." He started walked, gesturing for her to follow.

"Now since you are coming with me, an introduction is required. I am known as Mephisto Pheles to the Exorcist. Another name in my birth realm, and another name as well for another position in the exorcist world. The woman stared at him, blinking slowly while she followed him.

"You are hard to trust." She said softly, eyeing him.

"My birth name, as well as my only name, is Nirvana. The daughter to the former and deceased King of Neburan. My child, is Nova." She then smiled when Nova cooed softly.

"I named him Nova because he would make a large impact everywhere he goes." Mephisto chuckled softly, continuing to lead her.

"A pleasure to meet you two."

This meeting was the Beginning of the Life of Nova Pheles.
