Chapter 1: A New Chapter Begins

I had a dream.

I was being pulled by two figures.

We were all laughing happily as if there were no worries in this world.

"Come on!! Everyone's waiting for you!!!"

"!!!!"

This is…………my………

A snow white hair boy sat up straight for his sleeping position, panting. As he calmed his breathing, he could hear to tick tocks of the grandfather clock in the infirmary in the darkness of the night. Around him slept his friends and comrades in their beds, resting and recovering from the injuries obtained from the battle in Edo.

Allen Walker looked around for a while before looking at his sweaty palms. That dream felt so real yet so dream-like. What was that about? Could it be that he had seen and experience too much in this period of time? No. That was not right. He's been through worse situations compared to this. Obviously since he had General cross for a guardian since Mana died.

"Mana……" the boy whispered softly as he held himself in his arms. The score in the Ark. The words, the language, they were all made up by the both of them together. Why was it there? The language that was supposedly discarded along time ago, why?

Soft giggling can be heard in the winter night as a five-years-old boy on all four drew out musical note-like characters on the snow with a random twig lying about. Next to the giggling child was a tall mustached man wearing a top cat and a worn out suit with stripped pants watching over the child with gentle and loving eyes.

"Done! Mana! It's done!" the child jumped up from his previous position with a triumphant stance, holding the twig high in the air. The mustached man smiled lovingly and panted the little boy's head.

Our language.

This world has many different languages. That was what we seen, heard and learnt during our travels around the world as street performers. A secret code to the person who they regard as their own.

Both of us were orphans. The world we had was just each other. So we thought one day, "Why not we make our own 'code'? One that no one but ourselves know." It may be childish, foolish even. But to us, to people who regarded only each other as their own, it was like a sense of recognition in this world.

"My own……" Allen whispered as a tear rolled down his cheek. He lost that when Mana died. Though his friends, the people he had met, were like family to him, they still had different codes that separate one from the other.

What am I thinking?!!

Allen shook his head violently before smacking his cheeks hard. Now is not the time to thinking about this! This is a time of crisis and everyone had to stand side by side. This is no time to get himself down over such stuff. Allen looked up at the ceiling with strong-willed eyes. He would continue to walk forward no matter what. Not looking back at all. This was what he promised, what Mana wanted, to do. He would start training and investigating on that Ark's abilities as soon as dawn creaked. With a firm nod to himself, he laid back down with a strong force, causing the bed to creak loudly, and slowly reentered the land of dreams.

Little did Allen know that a pair of midnight blue eyes was observing what he was doing from his own bed the whole time.

A pair of golden eyes slowly opened to be greeted by a concerned face of the First child. As the person looked around at his surroundings, the spiked hair child's face turned from concerned to relief.

"I'm glad you're awake." Said a childish yet sisterly voice came to his ears. Tyki looked back at Road and lifted an eyebrow.

"I don't die that easily." He said, slightly surprised how hoarse his voice sounded.

"Well, at least that part of you hasn't changed." Road grinned and hugged Tyki. Tyki didn't make a move to stop her. All he did was looked at his hands. They felt leathery and they weren't grey anymore. They were black. In fact, Tyki lifted the covers of the bed, his whole body was black. What on earth……

"The Child in you woke up." Road whispered to him into his ear before she pushed herself away from Tyki as he threw the covers off and examined himself in a near panic state. No. No. No. Tyki stood up from the bed and ran to a full length mirror that stood near by the bed. As he looked at his new look in the mirror, Road's reflection appeared at the corner of the mirror.

"Tyki," Tyki turned, though part of his face was hidden behind a mask, you could feel the fear and panic radiating from his very being. He was trying to revert back to his light form but no valid.

"You can't go back anymore."

"!!!" a young boy's voice called to me as a girl and boy came running towards me. Smiles on their faces, they took both my hands each and tugged my hands. I feel warm and welcomed. They both look familiar but I can't tell their faces still. It's like the light around us is blinding my vision from their faces. Just then, the girl disappeared slowly and only the boy was left, still holding onto my hand tightly. Slowly, blood dripped from his fingertips as he leaned forward to my ear.

"Save her for I can no longer do that." As he lifted his now bloodied hand to my face and……

SMACK!!!!

Timcanpy whammed its entire being at Allen's face, causing one good big bruise to slowly form. Allen growled in pain and frustration towards the golden golem which smirked back at him, happy that it was able to wake the teenager up.

"What was that for, Tim?!" Allen whispered angrily as the golem as he rubbed on the spot where the golem collided against. Timcanpy let out a sient sigh befre pointing at the window in the infirmary. It was the crack of dawn. Allen widened his eyes in realization before looking around. Everyone's still asleep.

Good.

As quietly as he could, Allen got off the bed slowly, causing the bed to squeak slightly. He then slowly tip toed his way out of the room with the golden golem flying around his head before flying straight as Allen exited the room. After shutting the door silently, he let out a sigh of relief before turning around only to face the cold looking face of the Japanese exorcist.

"Where the hell do you think you're going, Moyashi?"

Road hummed a tune as she skipped her way to a room, holding layers of new bed covers and some decorations. Just as she kicked open the door, Lulubell walked by.

"What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be Tyki?" Lulubell raised an eyebrow as Road tried to balance the stuff in her arms while trying to face Lulubell.

"Lero is making sure e doesn't kill himself now. I'm getting ready our newest edition's room. Since we all have one, we might as well get him one too." Road said cheerfully as some of the decorations dropped to the ground. "You're picking him up along with the Egg, aren't you?" Lulubell nodded curtly.

"It's the Master's Orders. But thought we're family, he has already angered many of us before he could even join us. What a troublesome child." Lulubell said as she opened hr golden eyes behind her sunglasses, revealing her anger as she talked about the new edition.

"Well, they got to him faster then we did, so it couldn't be helped." Road said as she continued balancing the stuff only to get more of them on the ground, which made Lulubell sigh and helped he pick the items up.

"Still, what he said to me before struck me in a way. I didn't like it at all. That's why I want to ki-"

"Don't you even think about it." Lulubell looked up to see Road with the "I will kill you for real" serious look. Lulubell was unfazed by it though she didn't reply to that; just put the stuff that she picked from the floor into Road's arms before walking off. Road stared t her back till she was out of her line of vision before returning to her cheerful mood as she gathered the items together in her arms and closed the door behind her.

The room was overly decorated wit streamers and colors everywhere. It was like a rainbow that has been puked out painted this place. But Road didn't care. She placed the finishing touches to the sign on the wall.

Welcome to the Family, Allen!!!

Road smiled proudly as she took a step back to get a better look of the room.

"I hope he likes it when he arrives!" Road said to herself as she skipped out of the room, hoping that Lulubell will bring him here soon.
