The Awakening
Darkness, that's all there was in the beginning. He tried to pry his eyes open to escape it but to no avail. So he simply floated aimlessly in it not knowing who or what he was. He didn't even have memories of existing other than this darkness. He wanted to shout but couldn't remember how.
Allen!
A voice he recognized as female suddenly rang through the darkness calling to him. Allen? Was that his name? A light suddenly appeared in front of him and grew brighter, reshaping itself almost like a shard of glass. In it people appeared as if conjured in what he supposed was a memory. The light turned a friendly yellow as the scene played out.
"Woohoo, the war's finally over", yelled a red haired youth. He wore a bandanna around his head almost as if it could tame his unruly red locks. He was wearing a torn and bloody uniform with a silver cross. Suddenly the scabbard of a katanna came out of nowhere and whacked the youth in the back of the head.
"Just because the Earl is finally gone doesn't mean we don't still have work to do, baka-usagi", the man yelled at the youth. The man himself had long inky black hair and while shorter than the red haired youth he had a presence that seemed to tower over everyone else. He was dressed in a similar uniform but gold instead of red and silver.
"General Kanda we found him", came a voice from the far left. A man ran up in a ripped hooded trench coat and bandages over the lower half of his face. All three ran and the memory followed them. They came to a pile of rubble that used to be half of an elegant 19th century mansion. Men were frantically sorting through the rubble as if possessed. Three were off to the side apparently carefully removing someone from the rubble. As they set this person down the three men hurried over.
The man they had taken out of the rubble wasn't wearing a uniform like the others. He was dressed in simple, but torn slacks and a tight T- shirt. His left arm stood out like a beacon for it was black and smooth as if a tattoo. His hair was stark white and long partially covering his face from view.
"That's weird his hair grew out. What did that stupid Earl do to him", the red youth said as he crouched next to the man on the ground. The General crouched down on the other side and reached over to slide the man's hair out of his face. Everyone around him gasped.
"Where in the fuck did his scar go", the General asked paling quite a bit. True enough the young man's face was clear of any scaring or deformity and seemed youthful yet ageless at the same time. The red haired youth just shook his head and picked the young man up bridal style.
"Who cares about that right now let's just get him t-". The man yelped when the young man he had been intending to carry suddenly threw an arm around his neck, dropped his legs, and tossed him over one shoulder into the rubble. He landed with another yelp and then just got right back up.
"What the hell was that for Allen"! He yelled accusedly pointing his finger in the young man's direction. The young man simply stared back sightlessly, almost as if he were seeing through the red haired man.
"He seems taller as well", said the hooded man pointing out the fact that the young man now stood even with the red haired youth where apparently he had been shorter. The General put his hand on the hilt of his katanna in unease. The young man didn't appear to be registering any of what was going on. He was just standing there.
Suddenly a young woman in a short skirted uniform ran up and hugged the young man.
"Allen"!
The yellow light around the shard suddenly turned white hot and embraced the man viewing the memory. Feeling came back to him quickly and without remorse. He felt warmth around the lower part of his chest but pain everywhere else. He gave a cry of pain and would have fallen over if it wasn't for the young woman who had just been hugging him.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry Allen", she cried bracing him on one shoulder gently.
"Sure as soon as Lenalee hugs him he snaps out of it but I get thrown halfway back to headquarters", the red haired youth grumbled. The General just rolled his eyes and turned to the young man the woman was holding. He was holding his head and groaning in pain into Lenalee's shoulder.
"Alright Allen what the hell is wrong with you", he questioned the young man. The woman glared at him stating that Allen was in serious pain and that this wasn't the time to question him. To his credit the young man just blinked and then spoke.
"Terribly sorry but are you talking to me", he spoke with a British accent and seemed terribly confused. All the people around him froze. The General looked at him in shock.
"You seriously don't even remember your own name"? The young man shook his head and was confused by the general reaction of shock. The red haired youth groaned and sat putting his head in his hands.
"Great, just great", he said looking absolutely miserable. Allen, at least he guessed that was his name, suddenly felt guilty even though he couldn't remember who the man was. The young woman looked visibly upset as well and seemed to slump in place. The General suddenly grabbed Allen by the left arm ignoring Lenalee's protests. He shoved the back of the young man's hand into his face.
"Do you remember this"? The young man's eyes widened as he stared straight at a glowing imbedded green cross in his hand. Numbly he shook his head and the General swore violently dropping his hand.
"Allen, what do you remember", the young woman asked gently, trying for a slightly different approach. Allen, to his credit, tried to remember before the darkness.
Suddenly he was in front of a giant set of doors with an equally giant face in it. The face looked pale as if it had just had a fright.
"ENTER"! It suddenly shouted and two panels on either side opened upward slowly. A hand was waved in front of his face and he turned his head to see the young woman, only with much longer hair and a different style of uniform. Behind her was the General, also in a different style of uniform looking severely disgruntled.
"Hello, my name is Lenalee Lee and I'm an exorcist with the order. That's Yu Kanda and sorry about his attitude but he just got back from a mission yesterday", she said as they walked inside.
"Lenalee"? Her eyes widened and then she broke out in a smile hugging Allen tightly.
"You remembered", she shouted joyfully while the General and the red haired youth looked disgruntled. Lenalee noticed this and let go of Allen.
"Can you remember either of them", she asked hoping to remedy the others' bad mood.
"I remember Kanda as well, seeing as I apparently met you both at the same time", he replied. Kanda twitched remembering exactly how the two had met. The red haired youth snickered remember hearing that story from Lenalee and got whacked over the head for his humor.
"Not funny baka-usagi! He still hasn't remembered you anyway", Kanda reminded him and the redhead slumped into a pout rubbing the back of his head.
"Why do you always have to hit me Yu", he whined. The General twitched and reached for his sword.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me by my first name", he yelled drawing the katanna in a fluid motion, ignoring Lenalee's protests that they don't fight. The red head just hopped to his feet and drew out a small hammer with a smile.
"Aw but we're friends aren't we ", he said and after a thought added, "Yu". That seemed to snap the other man's control and the katanna started to glow an eerie light as he charged. The red head just twirled his hammer which suddenly grew to the size of a war hammer. Lenalee was shouting at them both telling them not to fight and 'you're friends for Pete's sake'.
Just as Kanda swung down and the red head swung to counter there was a great clang and both men and their weapons were stopped dead. There in the middle was Allen who they hadn't even seen move from Lenalee's side, a good 20 ft away. His left hand was bracing Kanda's katanna in a guarding pose. In the meantime his right arm had caught the war hammer in his underarm with the mallet braced in his stomach. His head was down with his bangs falling in his face and his hair flowing over one shoulder onto the mallet. Allen looked up and both men felt sudden dread at his look.
"Lenalee said don't fight lads and when a woman talks you listen", he lectured seemingly unaffected by the katanna and war hammer both. Then just as suddenly he appeared both men found themselves tossed in opposite directions landing a good 20 ft away from Allen. Allen held both weapons still and flipped the katanna to hold it properly while lifting the war hammer onto his shoulder.
"There now, are you alright Lenalee", he turned and asked her. Lenalee was just looking at him in shock not knowing how to process the sudden speed at which he had moved. Allen jumped when the hammer all of sudden shrunk back to a miniature size but the greater shock came when the katanna simply faded away and ceased to exist. He just stared at his left hand where the katanna had been and because of that barely dodged the fist aimed at his face. Kanda had gotten up much quicker than the red head and was looking extremely angry.
"What the hell moyashi", he shouted at Allen. Allen meanwhile noticed that the man suddenly had crimson red arm guards that hadn't been there before.
"Like I just said, Lenalee said don't fight and since the two of you obviously weren't in your right minds I intervened", he explained slowly looking irritated that he had to repeat himself. In his irritation he leant over the other man bringing attention to the fact that he was taller than the other. This irritated Kanda and he suddenly whipped his hand out to do an uppercut to Allen's jaw. Allen caught the hand before it hit to both his and Kanda's surprise and shock.
"Damn Allen where'd you get all that speed all of a sudden", asked the red head. He had gotten up from where he had been knocked down and was walking towards the other two. Allen for his part was looking very confused. Kanda, realizing Allen still had his hand, turned red in the face and ripped his hand out of Allen's grip.
"Let's just all get back to headquarter and I'm sure my brother can examine him and find us an answer", Lenalee said approaching the three men where they stood. The other two nodded and Allen simply followed, since he had nowhere else to go.
"This is what you lot call headquarters"? Allen inquired looking up at yet another 19th century manor. This one was a fair bit larger and extended into two wings that seemed to sweep backwards indefinetly. The others in his group flinched as they were yet again reminded of the others temporary memory loss. Lenalee in particular had gotten her hopes up earlier when he had remembered her and Kanda but it seemed as if Allen still couldn't remember much else.
Suddenly the front doors to the manor burst open and a young child stood there breathing heavy. Behind him Allen could see a strange man wearing robes with a gem in the middle of his forehead who seemed as if he were trying to calm the child down.
"Please Timothy stop before you hurt someone", he intoned looking over everyone in front of them in worry. The child, Timothy apparently, looked up and Allen started whe he saw the ball in the middle of the boys forehead. Apparently the generals gauntlets and the red heads hammer weren't the only unusual objects around here.
"AAALLEN", the boy suddenly shouted fixing on Allen with sudden joy. Before anyone, including his gaurdian, could stop him Timothy sprinted in Allen's direction taking a flying leap. Reacting instinctivly and without really thinking Allen made a sudden movement to the side clasping the leaping child under his left arm. Timothy gave a shout of surprise at the hard contact and looked up at Allen confused. Meanwhile everyone else in the group just looked disconcerted, this was the third to fourth case of practically inhuman speed they had seen from him.
"Honestly young man when an adult cautions you to stop you do so", Allen chided waving his hand at the gaurdian in question who stood in the doorway shocked. Everyone else just looked confused.
"What in the hell are you talking about, moyashi", Kanda stated, like everyone else, he looked at the open doorway and saw nothing. Timothy meanwhile flinched in Allen's hold and looked up at said man in wonder.
"You mean you can see Divine Gaurdian Allen"? Before this it had been explained to him via Komui that he should be the only one to see Divine Gaurdian being he was a manifistation of his Innocence alone. Allen, to his credit, simply looked down at Timothy in confusion.
"Of course I can! Spirits aren't nearly as invisible as most people think", he responded tactifully setting the young man on his feet. Lenalee looked on worried about this statement. Before their final battle with the Earl and the Noah Allen hadn't been able to see spirits and definetly didn't boast about their existence.
"Alright everybody let's hurry up and get downstairs so we can talk to Komui and Hevlaska". Lavi was already in the doorway waving at everybody else to follow.
Allen thought he couldn't be surprised by these people further but he had been wrong, very wrong. The expansive laboratory under the manor was definate proof. That along with some of the other people he had been reintroduced to. He winced remembering the looks of sadness that had greated him at his apparent memory loss. So far their names and how he had met them remained indistinct images in his brain, what came to the forefront instead were his senses. The lab stang with the scents of chemicals making his nose burn and his eyes water. The clamour of all the 'exorcists' and scientists rang sharp in his ears and altogether it was rather overwhelming.
"Alright everybody let's calm down and give Allen some space hm? There is much cleanup to be doing after all"! The voice suddenly burst from the side causing Allen to snap his head in that direction. The man standing there could obviously be related to Lenalee was his first thought. The second was that although he had been told the man was a scientist he wasn't wearing a lab coat and instead was wearing a red and silver uniform similar to the exorcists next to him. Next to this man was another larger man, his face was harsh and sharp, and he was glaring death straight at Allen. It made a feeling of unease crawl into the back of Allens mind as people cleared the room but this man never lifted nor broke his gaze.
It was then he noticed that Lenalee, Kanda, and even Lavi were returning the mans death stare with even more force. The tension in the room was starting to bear down on his shoulders to the point where he might snap. It was in that moment that Komui chose to walk forward to Allen looking very much like a proud older brother would.
"It's good to see you are alright Allen, although Lenalee mentioned over Golum that you are experiencing memory loss"? He said all of this before coming to stand directly in front of Allen. Peeking around the man Allen could see the death stare contest still going on behind him.
"I've also been told by Kanda you are experiencing enhanced senses not limited to but including being able to see spirits". He continued refocusing Allen's attention away from the bit of drama behind him. Komui for his part was disconcerted by several things, the first thing being Allen's physical changes. He was suddenly only an inch shorter than Komui and his hair had once again grown past the young man's shoulders. On top of all that the mans facial scar he had since a young age was no longer present and his left eye shown silver just like his other. It was unprecidented and rather unnerving to the scienctist.
"I cannot remember a time when I didn't have these senses. Also are you sure it is alright to ignore them"? Komui was not comforted by Allen's statement, rather it unnerved him further that Allen seemed to think he had always been as he currently was. As for the group of people behind him, he looked over his shoulder and saw that the situation had degenerated to the point to where the General and Rouvelier were engaged in an one on one argument about Allen's precence.
"I don't care if you ordered him hunted down! He saved us all by defeating the Earl using the Noah as allies so you better damn well get used to him being a part of the order again"! Kanda was shouting at the other man, a vein protruding from his forehead. The other man turned a disturbing shade of pruce at this statement and looked ready to do violence.
"It depends on you Allen, do you think you should interupt them", Komui intoned watching the others face to see if he remembered Rouvelier at all. Allen suddenly paled at the prospect as another memory pierced his skull.
"Allen Walker is now classified as Noah and an enemy to the order"!
The same voice as Rouvelier boomed through his skull and he suddenly felt very angry. The feeling pumped through his veins at the speed of a freight train causing him to resume his normal color and move around Komui towards Kanda and Rouvelier. Komui didn't stop him as Lenalee seemed to urge him to, instead he simply turned to watch Allen's approach.
"Just because Neah no longer exists within him does not mean he can be trusted"! Malcom C. Rouvelier did not back down from a challenge and that was definetly what the man in front of him was doing. He was shocked out of his anger towards the General by a heavy hand on his shoulder turning him to the side. He was both shocked and scared at the sight of a very angry Allen Walker belonging to the hand that had turned him. He was equally shocked to discover the changes to the man's appearance as everyone else previously but was mostly shocked by the sheer amount of anger in Allen's face. Even during some of their more violent verbal spats the young man had never seemed more than slightly annoyed.
What happened next shocked and horrified everyone present, Allen's other hand (his left hand beholding his innocence) cracked across Rouvelier's jaw sending him sprawling a good 15 feet from the man who had punched him. In the moment that everyone was frozen Allen continued to step forward toward the man who was sprawled on the floor. Suddenly arms shot threw his underarms drawing him back away from Rouvelier. It had taken all of a milisecond for Kanda and Lavi to realize that Allen's look had meant murder and that they had to get their asses in gear before he did just that.
"Calm down Allen"!
"Don't do it"! They shouted in unison as they griped him. Allen for his part was angry enough not to hear and was trying to continue forward. Kanda and Lavi planted there feet and had to lean their whole body backward just to halt the motion and even then they started to feel there feet slowly dragging forward with Allen. His sheer strength shocked both men and they began to sweat with the effort it was taking to attempt to hold him back. Just then Rouvelier stood shakily, his nose bleeding and cracked, and made the whole situation worse.
"See! Even now he uses violence where he hadn't before and is a danger", he shouted in Allen's direction holding his head high not only to stop the bleeding but to look down at the man struggling to attack him again. He thought that he was dealing with Allen Walker, who normally would of sensibly stopped his frontal assault at such a comment. He was proven horribly wrong when said man let loose an almost inhuman growl at his statement, a tip of a fang poking over his lower lip. He threw the men who had been holding him back backward 10 feet with his elbows to their abdomen. Then he quickly, so quickly no one saw him move, had Rouvelier pinned to the wall by his throat with his left hand. The wall cracked and dented with the sheer strength of it and Rouvelier's head swam dangerously.
"How dare you", Allen snarled showing that he in fact had a set of fangs, which had appeared out of no where shocking those present. Kanda and Lavi stood groaning in pain holding their stomachs where Allen had struck them. Lenalee barely surpressed a scream when Allen had attacked and was now crying. Allen's nose twitched when the smell of salt hit it. He peered over his shoulder away from the foul man he had pinned there and saw the young woman sobbing. His gentlemenly sense took over at that point and he guiltily dropped the man he had been holding. He stepped away from the wall and turned towards Lenalee.
"I apoligize for my lack of control", he mumbled feeling ashamed that he had lost control so easily and couldn't look at Lenalee because of it. The fangs had disappeared completely once he had regained sense but the sight of them had given Komui a sense of forboding.
"Enhanced strength and speed, enhanced senses, increased height and hair length, and fangs"? The large being intoned from her perch in question looking down at the men in front of her. Komui nodded while Allen just stood silent and brooding next to him. The being known as Hevlaska felt dread enter the center of her mind. She had seen these things in a being previously extinct a long time ago and suddenly saw the truth in her statement about Allen being a 'Destroyer of Time'. How she hadn't sensed it before boggled her mind seeing as the energy indicating one of those things now flowed out of Allen in waves of dark energy only she could see. Komui saw Hevlaska back away from Allen and felt the dread from earlier rear it's head again.
"What's wrong Hevlaska", he asked fearfully fully expecting not to like the woman's response. His fears were confirmed the minute she responded.
"He is Nosferatu", she stated simply. Komui gasped at the word and Allens head snapped up in shock and confusion. He didn't know the word although it sounded familiar and the fear Komui was suddenly directing towards him was disconcerting. Peering closer at Allen Hevlaska sensed a familiar tinge to the Nosferatu's aura, he seemed like he should be someone she should remember but his face wasn't bringing back any memories of any of the Nosferatu she had encounter as a human being. Meanwhile Komui's head swam at the implications this made. He would have to talk to Nurse about taking some blood packs from the cooler for one and explain all of this to the others as well as Allen. None of that could go well was his immediate thought. A hand to his shoulder shook him from his thought.
"What does she mean Komui"? Allen asked confusidly not understanding why the man jumped in fear at being touched by him.
"A Nosferatu is an immortal being that feeds on the blood of humans and displays frightful amounts of dark power due to that", she started with, then continued quickly at the shocked look on Allen's face, "They can live for centuries and accumulate power accordingly". Allen was shocked, it couldn't be. He felt no desire to sink his teeth into the neck of the human next to him and yet Hevlaska's words didn't sound quite like a lie either. Suddenly a disturbing memory filled his vison.
He stood shakily in the middle of an ancient cavern. The floor was painted in a large black symbol stretching all around him. In his left hand he held a large sword and all around him were hooded figures chanting in latin. To his left knelt a beautiful woman in a flowing red toga and to his right stood a furious man in a royal blue and red toga.
"How dare you include us in this! This is paganism of the highest degree", the man was belowing at those around them in fury. They seemed to ignore him completely and continued their chanting at a louder volume. Allen, no, Alexsander felt confusion at all that surrounded him. The language of the chant wasn't latin and sounded unfamiliar to him. Beside him the woman he now recognised to be his adopted mother started sobbing uncontrollably, her body contorting in sudden pain. On his other side the man he now recognized as his adopted father started doing the same but stubbornly refused to fall or stop his pleas for them to stop. As pain started to rise in his own body he started to rush forward with his sword raised in a jabbing motion towards the nearest hooded figure.
However before he could get close enough an invisible force threw him backward. The combined pain of his impact and the pain of his body caused him to black out.
"Allen"! Suddenly as it came the strange vision disappeared and was replaced by a concerned Komui who was leaning over him. It was then he realized he was on a gurney where he had been standing on that strange platform previously.
"Where am I", he croaked out in question, sitting up slowly taking in all the soreness and pain in his body.
"The infirmary. After Hevlaska stopped talking you just suddenly collapsed and started seizing, I had to have Kanda help me get you up here". Komui's words brought the vision he had had back to the forefront of his mind and the name he had called himself came back as well.
"Aleksander", he stated shortly. When Komui just looked at him in confusion he clarified.
"That is my actual name according to the memories I currently posess", he stated this slowly hoping this would clarify things for the buffudled scientist next to him. Instead Komui simply looked horrified and shocked. How Allen could of come up with something like that he had no idea. Then he remembered that Alle-Aleksander had been adopted by Mana Campbell and that maybe this had been his real name that he had had all along. So he nodded quickly causing the man on the gurney to relax a bit, it was also then that he remembered the blood pack he had brought up from the cooler.
"Alright Aleksander", the name sounded strange on his tongue but he said it anyway for the other man's benefit, "I have something for you that we can use to test Hevlaska's hypothesis". He stood and wheeled the little tray with the blood pack and a glass over. Aleksander took one look at it and shook his head looking quite pale. Komui ignored the look in favor of carefully opening the blood pack. Instantly a tantalizing aroma hit Aleksander's nose and he started to salivate against his will. With that reaction came another vision.
When he came to it was to blood, it covered his arm that was sprawled directly in front of his face. Secondly what little light that had been in the cavern was suddenly magnified and sharp. Finally the figures from before were all on the ground….and in pieces. He scrambled to his feet in a panic nearly vomiting at the sight of all the mangled bodies surrounding him. It was then that the screaming hit his ears. He whipped around to face that direction and what he saw caused the vomit he had held back to come spewing forth.
Off to the side his adopted father had one of the hooded figures in his grasp and was in the process of ripping the man's arm out with his bare hands. He then tipped his head back and unhinged his jaw to reveal rows of sharp fangs that eagerly guzzled the blood from the dripping arm. His eyes were slitted and a horrible mottled crimson color. When at last he stopped vomiting Aleksander quickly searched for his adopted mother, at first he sighed in relief at seeing that she hadn't moved from her original spot but the gasped when she turned towards him with the same crimson eyes.
"What have they done to us Alek"? She sobbed sundenlly and too quick for him to stop, started tearing into her own limb with the same fangs sobbing still. At her comment he picked up his sword to stare at his own reflection and nearly sobbed himself at what he saw. Instead of his normal sky blue his eyes shown the same crimson as the other two. It was just then that the smell it him, instead of the tangy iron smell he had associated with blood in battle a tantilizing aroma filled his nostrils causing a strange pressure in his upper jaw. He looked back down to his sword opening his mouth slightly, and although it was only one pair, he was still horrified to see fangs jutting from where normal himan teeth had been.
Suddenly a loud snarl sounded from in front of him. He looked up just in time to dodge the inhuman missile that shot straight for him. The former senater stopped short when he missed his target and snarled again at Alek though not really seeing him. It was at that moment that Alek realized that they had all three been turned into some sort of monster seeking human blood. Looking at all the death and carnage around them and seeing his former parental figure gearing up for another charge that he made his decision. As soon as the senater charged Alek charged forward with him beheading him in a smooth simple slash of his blade. It took a second for the body to register it no longer had a head attached and it slammed into the wall of the cavern as the head rolled to the side.
His mothers head snapped up from her mangled arm at the noise and she seemed to come to her senses a little. She started sobbing in earnest at that point seeing her husbands head roll to a stop a mere foot from where she sat. She was so agrieved she didn't see Alek approach and didn't feel a thing when the same blade that had killed her husband slid threw her own neck. After he was done Alek wiped his blade along the bottom of his tunic in a well practiced gesture and the enormity of what he just did pressed down upon him. He fell to his knees with a wail of grief. The smell of blood still permeated the air and was starting to cause his throat to burn in the desire for it. Through sheer force of will he forced the abdominable monstrous desire down and grasped his blade once more. As he drew it towards him with all intentions of commiting suicide a whimper came from his left.
The man his father had removed the arm of was still alive and crawling towards him frantically.
"Don't", he rasped sitting up carefully, "It took decades of hard work to create this experiment if you kill yourself all our work will be lost"! He ended the statement with a cough of blood and gripped his mangled shoulder with the force of it. Alek felt sudden anger at the man. How dare he and his compatriots even think of such an experiment, whatever it was. He stood and approached the man with all intense and purpose of killing him when he heard the sound of running feet coming from the cavern's entrance.
"Quickly! Drink of my blood and flee this place! You must live and explore your new being for the good of man kind", he swung his mutilated shoulder forwarded as if he fully expected Alek to drink from it. Alek recoiled at the prospect at first but then his throat throbbed and his fangs burned. Before he could blink he found himself on his knees before the man tearing into the mangled shoulder like a wild beast. The man screamed under the assault but held firm having expected the reaction. The footsteps grew louder and echoing with each gulp of the man's life water he drank and when he finally seemed to have his fill he beheaded the man finishing his life. Quickly he stood and took off down a side tunnel away from the sounds of the approaching soldiers and into the darkness
As the vision finally faded he saw Komui finish pouring the blood pack into the glass he had set to the side and hold the glass out to Alek. With the grusome images still at the fore front of his mind he was reluctunt to drink but the look on Komui's face broke no argument. Silentlly he took the glass and began to drink. He nearly choking when it hit is tongue and the flavor he tasted was like sheer ecstacy. He chugged down the glass in less time than it took Komui to pull away at the sight of him doing such. Once the glass was empty yet another flash of memory hit him but this time more than one.
He stood over cliffs he recognized as the cliffs of Dover. Instead of the tunic and sword he had had in the previous memory he was wearing a robe and collar signifing a man of the cloth. Next to him stood another priest who looked as if he wanted to push him off of said cliff.
"Monster! Beast of Satan!", he yelled at him, "How dare you wear that robe and preach the word of God to the masses", he screamed.
*Flash*
Another change of scenery brought him to a desert. He stood on a sand dune overseeing a seemingly endless army from atop a enormous stallion. He was covered from head to toe in dazzling armour and radiated power to those below. The crowd of men were shouting.
"All hail Alexander the Great our leader and conquerer of the known world"!
*flash*
He was in a forest, silent except for the crackling of the fire in front of him. He sat on a log and was wearing simple slacks and a shirt with a thick cloak thrown over. To the right of the fire was an empty bedroll and to the left was a full one with a child sized form asleep in it. His hair was long and auburn and rested on his shoulder in a simple ponytail. He stared at the fire with dread for the morrow when he would have to return the young lord to his father.
By the time Komui had taken the glass and was shakily filling it with another blood pack the visions had faded leaving him confused at their meaning. 'How old am I really' was his thought when he was startled out of it by another glass of blood. He took it and thanked Komui who for his part was deathly pale. It was then that Alek realized his vision was slightly red around the edges and that his eyes were most likely reflecting crimson at the poor man. He looked away to spare him the sight as he drank his glass, a bit slower this time. Thankfully no more visions came to him but he still felt exhaustion in their wake.
As he handed the glass over again he told Komui no more and layed down to sleep. Komui left him to his rest and turned out the light as he left. As he closed the door to the infirmary he sighed, he had know idea how he was going to break this to everyone else but he had to think of something, and quickly.
