Tyki's pov on Allen's defection from the Order, and his obsession.
I own nothing.
Chapter Two: Holy Land
I was confused
Looking everywhere only to find- that it's
Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?)
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
Tyki Mikk couldn't believe the stupidity of the Church and it's Dark Religious Order. Then again… the Church had waged several wars (The Crusades) for nothing more than land. They'd called them 'holy' wars and the prize was 'sacred' ground, Jerusalem. But didn't their god create the whole of the Earth, making all land, technically, 'holy?' and didn't their god preach 'do unto others as you would do unto yourself,' making the very idea of a war sacrilegious?
But he was digressing. Basically, the point was that if he bothered to reflect on the history of the Church, he could in fact believe their stupidity. But not their arrogance.
He couldn't comprehend how the Church- the Dark Religious Order- could be so arrogant, so much so that they believed- truly believed- that their every action was right. And it was this arrogance, their belief that all they did was just, was what would truly lose this war for them. After all, it was this unfounded belief in their own right actions that lost them Allen Walker- their greatest and, perhaps, their only chance at victory.
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
And quite honestly, Tyki was thrilled. He was absolutely elated that the boy had been betrayed, at least by his superiors. He knew the cursed Exorcist would never join the Earl (though his previous 'employers,' who should have know him better, hadn't), but he was thrilled, nonetheless.
He'd wanted the white haired teen for months. Tyki had thought the smiling, conniving boy attractive the first time they met, on that train, when he'd been playing at being a vagabond. The fearless Allen he met in China was even more interesting and alluring. Meeting him a third time as the ark crumbled, looking so mature and confident, had cinched it. Allen had been cute before, but now, he suddenly looked older, and somewhere between beautiful and handsome. His new hair, new Innocence, new uniform, had all seemed to make him look beyond his years and rather… dashing. And at that point he knew that his his desire for the ever changing, ever evolving Allen Walker would continue unabated.
Unfortunately, Road had known this as well. She looked young, but she was even older than he, she was observant, and she was even more conniving than Cross Marian. No doubt, she could see in his eyes the same desire for Allen Walker that she had. After all, she had met the white-haired boy first and, thus, had wanted him longer than he could have. And all of this was the main reason she'd kissed the boy on the ark, softly declaring "there's none for you, Tyki." Never before had he hated his niece so much. Surely, Allen's looks alone could start a war (at the very least, between siblings).
But none of that mattered so much now. Allen wasn't with the Order anymore. He was lounging in his ark with two Noah, with him and Road. He didn't have to hold back his affections the way that Road never did. And he didn't have to keep away from Allen for fear of the Earl. In fact it might be better to keep his distance from the Earl for fear of losing Allen- or…or losing to Allen Walker…? Well, either outcome seemed pretty bad to Tyki.
It wasn't as if the outcome of the war really mattered to Tyki anyhow. He was white and black. The Millennium Earl was black and Allen Walker was white. Whichever side won (he didn't even count the Order as a contender anymore) Tyki Mikk would simply adapt. And if one really wanted to simplify matters, all either of the two 'men' were doing was trying to shape the world in their image- as any born leader did. And regardless of his dislike for humanity, a world shaped like the ethereal boy sounded better than any other.
I hope you liked this chapter. Presonally, I am not thrilled with it. It feeles like a filler chapter or something. Anyhow, please review if you did, or even if you didn't like it.
I'm sorry it took so long to update. My new job has crazy long hours and I'm exhausted. Thank you to those who reviewed chapter one and those who added it to their favorites/alert lists. To those of you who are expecting independant fics from me or sequels to my other fics, I swear I'm still working on them and some of them should be posted by this weekend. Thank you for your patience.
