Tonight the village was especially quiet. The stars were shining brightly in the sky over a small, medieval church. This church was as ancient as the world, dirt was caked into the cracked windows and one side had been completely wiped out. The roof had cracked tiles that were beginning to chip in various places, a certain part of it looked as if it were about to fall in and crumble. Yet, for the most part, it was alive and well, thriving the most in the light of the sun. It was where people came to stay when they were on the Hajj.

Tonight was especially quiet. A lone girl sat on a miscellaneous rock placed near the rotting wooden door. Her hand rested under her chin as her bored eyes looked over the moon. It was a beautiful, calming thing, the moon. Sometimes she would just sit here and stare at it for hours, letting her mind wander to things that didn't involve the harsh reality that surrounded her.

Her Uncle, Kevin Yeager, had disappeared from all existence. Usually, he would write long letters to her, they came in every month on the 7th, her favorite day of the year. He would tell her he was okay, sometimes he would tell of his adventures as an Exorcist. And he would always tell her not to write back. It was forbidden for an Exorcist, especially one of such a high power, to be in communication with family members who were human.

In more ways than one, she was proud not to be an Exorcist. Risking your life for ungrateful people, ungrateful, stupid people who deserved everything they got. They're the reason she can't see her uncle anymore, it's their fault he hasn't written to her in a year. And with every thought, every time the word 'Exorcist' ran through his mind, she could feel it, the rage building in the pit of her stomach.

She was glad the moon existed, for it would always be there for her in her time of need. It would always hang in the sky, waiting for her at night to stare and rid her of these angry feelings. She was happy to let its calming effects set over her, the rage she felt towards humanity hurt her, and it hurt her mentally. She was human, too, she was the reason her Uncle had to leave and protect everyone. If only there was a way to not have to suffer, to know that she wasn't human, she was better than a human.

But it was impossible. She was human and she always would be. She had to accept this painful reality, and move on with her life. For now, however, as she was staring at the moon, all thoughts in her mind had vanished and her body relaxed. The moon was the only thing she could rely on.

At first, she only thought of it as a little bug that was floating in her vision, but as it loomed closer, she realized it was in the shape of a man. Her first instinct was to run, but she would do no such thing. The moon was still up high, and she wasn't ready to get rid of this feeling of bliss. A man, large in shape, was hanging from his pink umbrella, and finally, he landed a few feet away from her. She silently watched him lumber towards her.

"Hello there young one~ " His voice had a playful tone to it. "The moon is lovely tonight, is it not~?" She frowned, watching him closely. A young girl around the age of thirteen appeared by his side, smiling at her.

"Is this her, Earl-sama?" She asked a certain amount of excitement in her face. She looked rather unusual, with her bluish-purple spiked hair, and golden eyes. Across her forehead, it looked like there was cross shaped stigmata; her skin was a grayish color as well. She silently wondered to herself if it was only the night playing tricks on her eyes.

"It doesn't appear that she's gone through her transformation yet~ " the large man stated airily, "But the time will come soon enough~ "

"Who are you?" She spoke in a soft tone, she wasn't sure what she was feeling right now. The moon was high above her, but she did not feel the bliss it once gave her.

"Oh, my dear, I'm sure you've heard of me I am the Millennium Earl " The girl smiled from beside him.

"I'm Road Kamelot~!" Road exclaimed, her childish personality shining through the darkness of the night. She was quietly staring at him, waiting for him to say something else, but nothing came.

"...I'm (First Name) (Last Name)." Road giggled at this, twirling with the Earls umbrella in hand.

"We know who you are silly~" Road stated, "Soon, you're going to come live with us-" With that, the umbrella burst from her hand, turning right side up as it started to scold the girl.

"Don't give everything away Road-sama, lero~ Earl-tama will explain it when the time comes, lero~" Road shrugged her shoulders carelessly, grabbing the talking umbrella once more and swining it through the air, causing it to shout in surprise. The Earl all seemed rather amused by this.

"Do not worry, dear, through the pain a wondrous thing will happen~ Goodbye for now " The young girl smiled, waving playfully before grabbing the shrieking umbrella and disappearing into the woods, the Earl behind close behind her. The feeling of panic disappeared for the moment, but a certain feeling of unsettlement rested in her stomach. Something was going to happen to her, that scary man had said it, but what was it? She stood up, the rock and moon no longer giving her the sense of security she had learned to love, and she walked back home, in the opposite direction of the strangers.

"Earl-sama, why didn't we just take her with us now~?" Road whined, pouting and crossing her arms in a childish manner. The Earl chuckled darkly. After they had left behind their soon to be family member, they had gone through Road's door and re-entered the ark. They were walking along it, Lero leisurely floating beside them.

"Her powers will awaken soon, she'll be with us soon, perhaps in a day or two~ " Road clapped her hands in delight.

"She'll be his reincarnation right?"

"Yes, yes~ we have finally found the last remaining member of the Noahs, the Noah of Wrath~ "
