Prologue - When they met
It was a summer day, Death City was shining in the white lightbeams of sunlight, yet it wasn't that kind of a day when everyone felt dying from the heat. The air was filled with the scent of apples and a slight smell of death.
For sure, there was no school day, yet a lot of students were in the Academy.
The corridors was echoing the voices as the meisters and weapons gathered in the classrooms and the sunlit corridors. Maka Albarn as always were in the classroom, reading a book, next to her partner, Soul Eater who - for a bit of a shock to the eye- was reading too. Well for sure, he wasn't interested in schoolwork, but from the beginning of the summer he had hanged on mangas.
- Maka, what is this mean? - he pointed on a text bubble
- It's something we already learned on History of Souls - she said after she just looked on the page.
- Oh - He wasn't really sure what that meant, but from the sound of it -Maka didn't wanted to waist more words on it.
Well, because of this interlude, Soul could look around in the almost empty classroom, when he realized that one other still was in the room with them.
He anyways recognized the hair, but by his look, Kid was sleeping on the desk. These days he didn't wear his black coat, but just a black vest and a short sleeved shirt.
Well it wasn't a big deal for anyone, like - Soul'd wear a yellow top and shorts, but it was an effort for Kid.
Well, since his father died everything was an effort for him.
He had to take over the Academy, he had to learn there as a student and still, he had that deep sorrow he had to deal with.
- Maka? - said slowly Soul again
- Hm? - she looked on him
- Do you think... Kid will ever be okay again?
- Well ... -she thought for a while and then nodded - Yes. He will be alright, he only needs to find something what can heal his wound.
She was right, but still the mourning could've been felt since and shadows almost could took away the sunlight from the hearts of the Academy's students and staff.
But after all, whatever happened before, the worst was for Kid. The change really reflected on him. These days he looked more tired and there was a lot of time he had fallen asleep, even though he was a God.
Well, that day was special though.
On the other point of the school, a little group went trough leaving the other students with no words.
Suddenly a tall person in white. He had a cigarette in his mouth and he looked on the strange group suspiciously.
- And who are you? - He asked
A tall person - just as hooded as all of them - stepped before and dropped his hood, reveailing himself.
The man had cappuchino-like brown skin, short, black hair and bright green eyes behind his glasses.
- We are the british office of the DWMA - said the stranger with a slight accent.
- Oh? - The doctor-like person grinned - and what is our office do here without asking our principal?
- We came on purpose. We had a request a few years ago. On a research.
- What kind of research?
- Can we know your name please, sir?
- No need for that - another hooded person stepped out from the group and removed her hood.
The girl was really tiny and had alabaster like skin. Her dark brown hair was in a bun, and in her hair two silverly white locks were braided trough the bun too.
Her eyes were bright carribean blue and her heart shaped face was spotted with light freckles. Above her eyebrows on both sides she had tiny crystall piercings and she smiled lightly now on the doctor.
- He is Doctor Franken Stein one of the greatest minds of all - she said
- Alice? - Stein was suprised - I seen you last time...
- When I'd gone to get a weapon, yes - she giggled - And I made four.
- I would love to hear about it, but you said you came because of a quest. What it was about?
- This - she pulled out a book from her white leather backpack.
- And what is that?
- The Book of Destiny - said the man fron the british office.
- It was written in acient heavenly language and every one of the Gods' destiny is written in it. Shinigami-sama asked us himself - Alice said
- Well now... Shinigami-sama is dead - said Stein
- We heard about the sad news - Alice suddenly turned sad - But we still have to turn the quest back for the new principal. Can you take us to him or her?
- Sure, yet you have to know: He may try hard, but he doesn't have all the information from his father's requests.
- Thank you. We will try our best - said the man on the side of Alice.
- Alright, by the way how we may call you? - asked Stein from the man
- I'm Daniel Darthsting
- I see - Stein nodded, then started to walk - then follow me.
So, after all somehow they managed trough the school and found class crescent moon and for the suprise of Maka and Soul they all stepped in the classroom.
- Proffessor? - Maka looked on Stein - What are you doing here and who are these people?
- They are our office from England - replied Stein in a calm voice - They are looking for Kid.
- I'm here - they heard a sleepy voice and turned to the boy, who's half-asleep looked on them - How may I help to our english friends?
- Sir - Alice stepped out, making Kid blink a few times - We are here to give you our quest's goal.
- And what would be that? - Kid asked after he could find his voice.
- The Book of Destiny.
- Kid - said Maka - you can feel it right?
- Yes. She have a soul of a witch - nodded Kid - but if Professor Stein didn't killed her, we should not be afraid.
- Well in the first place I wanted to kill her - said Stein - But for now I know she's not a treat for us. She is one of the Eight Ancient Gods.
- Really? - asked Kid
- Well, I am - shrugged Alice - No big deal.
- Which one? - asked Maka
- Well my mom was the Godess of Chaos, but really I don't know...
- How comes you don't know it? - asked Soul
- Well...
- In the circumstances of her born it's not sure - said Stein - well as you may know most Gods have their children by their own powers and not like mortal beings, but in the case of Alice, her father was a wizard and she became a demi-god with ultimate powers, but she's as mortal as me or you.
- A mortal God? - Kid was suprised
- Well, yes - Alice sighed - But I'm here because of this.
And she put the book on the desk, what opened up and in a split second they were flying trough time and space.
