This took a while, sorry for that. Mostly because I was deciding where to take this story though.
So I have an excuse, haha. :)
Disclaimer: Blue Exorcist or Ao No Exorcist belongs to the genius mind of Kazue Katou. I in no way, shape, or form own anything to do with it or it's characters but I do own this story.
And since I own this story, I present to my readers...chapter 3! :D

Her eyes widened inch by inch until they might've burst out of their sockets.
Pale hands reach upward slowly, grasping thick strands of hair.
Sweat forming on her temple from panic, heart pounding rapidly.
"H-how did this happen..? What happened to me?" The girl shrieked and turned to the two males behind and to the right of her.
Egyn stared for a few moments then said nothing, Lystis gulped audibly and shuddered at the thought of answering the poor girl before him.
Tears forming in her eyes she turned back to her reflection in the intricate mirror of black ice.
Her usually bouncy curls were matted with dried blood and sweat from her previous pain. It was a dark, deep green'ish color now instead of it's previous golden blonde. Almost black without the light over head. Each loch of hair coiled around one another tightly and her once short bangs now long and coiled tightly to the hair on the left side of her head and draped over her left eye. Her long lochs now reached about the middle of her back.
Thick black eyelashes covered her eyes of once glittering emeralds now even darker yet more vibrant around the center and slitted like a venomous snakes.
Her skin was a milky white. Nails long, black with a green'ish tint, and oddly claw like. Small, pointed ears poked out from under her hair on the sides, only noticeable when she turned her head too fast and the curls bounced upward showing the small appendages.
The girl turned and examined her height. She had grown a few inches, before she had been about 5"6 but now she stood at a taller 5"8. She looked older too, childish features now more defined and womanly than before.
The black, loose hospital gown she wore was torn and stitched in various places. Short sleeves hung loosely an inch or two below her shoulder and only reached about mid-thigh on the horrified girl.
"I'm so...different." Her previous horror now diminishing to a softer feeling of marvel at her new appearence.
"...Hmph. Well I don't know what you looked like before, girl, but it must have been much different to bring out that reaction. Thought it WAS pretty entertaining..." The King Of Water mused aloud.
"Yeah, I guess so. I don't really... remember much." The girls soft voice drifted off. Silence filled the air.

"So, my lord Egyn, have you chosen a name for this new demon we have upon us?" Lystis's red eyes gleaming, if he had eyebrows they would have rose up into his non-existant hair by now with the way he was questioning. His short stature, barely able to reach above the medical table beside him, leaned forward into the white-haired teens face.
The girl in question regained her seat on said bed and waited for something to happen.
"Hmm."
"Yes?"
"Hmmmmm."
"Uh-huh?"
"Hmmmmmmmmm."
"Si? Senor?"
"Hmm, imbocile goblin, you aren't spanish! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm."
"How do you know I couldn't very well be? Why my great, great, great, great, GREAT grandfather Lystisian the great was a man of many talents! AND many races! Why he- MMPH!"
The goblin flew into the wall on the opposite side of the room with a loud *SLAP* as the man in robes of watery black rose from his chair so fast it was barely seen.
The girl on the bed gasped as a single clawed hand nestled ontop her small head.
"I've got it!" Egyn's face burst into glee, his usual smirk twisted into a cheshire grin and his fangs stretched across his thin lips.
"You do?" The green-haired teen sharing his insane enthusiasm.
"You do?" The reb goblin popping up again to the side mirrored the twosomes happiness.
"I do!"
"Really?"
"Tell us, my lord!"
"Of course really and don't rush me you worm!"
"Then tell us!"
"Bu-but! I wish to know!"
"Don't rush me you idiots! This is genius in the making!"
"If it's so genius then why can't we know?"
"She is right, sire!"
"Well fine! I guess you don't want to know then! With that kind of respect? Hmph!"
The smaller demons ran after the young king as he reached for the door handle.
Their calls of 'Pleeeeaaaase?' and begging reaching his ears made the white haired man regain his smirk.
"Alright, alright." He turned to the two grasping his ankles on the floor. "Get OFF of me and I'll give you a name, girl."

The girl and the small, red goblin were now standing before the King Of Water.
The eight kings of Gehenna and the lord of Gehenna himself were the only beings aloud to name newly born demons. Whether they were born into being a demon or made into being a demon didn't matter, it was one of the few rules of the underworld.
A demon's name was more than a title or something to be called by.
A demon's name makes them who they are, which element the king that chose their name would depict of which element that new demon would be of, and that king also got to look into the depths of their demonic heart and decide what position or role this new demon would play in the heirarchy of the their world.
The goblin had previously explained this to the girl while the King Of Water had been deciding of what to name her. This made the two vastly more excited since the goblin had never seen it been done in person other than his own reckoning and the girl in question wanted a name much more now than before like nothing else in the world mattered.
The latter of the three stood tall and proud with his arms draped in watery black robes crossed over his chest. Spiky white hair draped over his silvery blue eyes which gleamed brightly in the dim lighting over head.
"Come here, girl."
As the young demon stepped forth, dark waves swinging as she moved like streams of dark water in the air.
The water demon placed his clawed hand on the top of the girls head. He grasped tighter and as her hands rose up and rested on his.
The two closed their eyes.
A coolness spread throughout her body.
Images of rocky cliffs above swelling seas entered her mind, almost as if she had been transported to a place of solace. The insanity of the image felt like home to the girl.
She could almost taste the salty breeze and the stormy air as the scenes progressed.
The oceans pulled back and rose over the dark sand.
They grew higher and higher and gained even more strength until the dark waves turned a deep, dark green much like the girls hair.
The unusual waves sent a feeling of power through her.
The dark waves of water grew higher still until it was far over the damp cliff and the stormy air was cool and static filled.
They had become a tsunami in their wake.
Then. The water rushed forward, drowning everything in it's path.
A bright light consumed her mind.
Dark, slitted eyes of green opened abruptly in realization of who she now was.
A moment passed before he spoke to her again.
"Do you know who you are now, girl?"
"I do." She spoke with renewed confidence and a air of power surrounded her. It seemed to the two elder demons in the room that the girl before them had become vastly different in a matter of seconds.
The king nodded and spoke, "Then let me ask you once again. Who are you?"
Silence followed as the girl thought. Moments passed until her lips started to move melodically with the previous scene playing in her head.
"I... I am Krea."
Lystis gasped and took a step back on his clawed foot.
Egyn smiled proudly and took a step back. He reached a hand to the girl who grasped it tightly. He bent down and kissed her hand lightly as a new, cheshire like grin stretched across his pale features. His fangs glistening in the dim light.
"Welcome to my kingdom, Sea Witch of Gehenna."
For the first time in a long time, Krea smiled.
