**Summary: This tale takes place when Allen Walker first meets my character, Etna Tanaka. I will try to follow the original story-line as much as possible with a few changes to add my character.**
Prologue:
"Master Yeeger?" the brown-haired girl peeled her eyes off of the carriage's window and to the elderly man whom sat next to her. Her odd, mismatched hues glanced from the Finder, Thyeador, to the man in a black and gold attire.
"Huh, what is it?" the elderly man looked up at his student, setting the piles of papers that he held onto the table in front of them. He noticed how the young girl seemed to be quieter than usual. Sure, she was currently on a ten minute break, but even through that time, she was usually making some kind of noise. May it be humming to herself, or telling him tales from when she was little. There was worry in his kind and wise eyes now as he made eye-contact with the girl.
"When you meet Allen Walker, are you going to let me tag along? Or are you going to send me off again?" Etna Tanaka asked after dragging in a calming breath. She has heard so much about the boy with a cursed left eye. The boy who can see an Akuma's tormented soul. If the stories were true, she would just simply love to meet him. After all, they were both a like.
They are both cursed…
A small smile was painted on the General's face as his hand stretched out to pat Etna's shoulder in comfort. "Of course you'd get to meet him, Etna." Etna looked at her Master in a moment of doubt before returning the smile. Once more, she brought her eyes to the window. Her reflection stared back at her dimly. Her right green hue counteracted to a golden left hue. Thus is the curse of the "Earl's Eye".
It was silent after. The only sound was the wheel running through the rough road and the sound of a cracked whip to keep the horses in place and going. No one else said a word. General Kevin Yeeger decided to give his student, Etna Tanaka, the rest of the day off. After all, there was a lot on her mind. Especially at this time of the year…
