I was walking down a crumbling field. My head was spinning, and I couldn't understand anything. I looked down at my feet. There were shards of glass everywhere. My feet were bloody.

I looked up, the scenery had changed. It was my old house. The house in Japan. I was still dizzy, and everything seemed monotone.

''What the fuck is going on?'' – I was murmuring to myself while walking even further in the house.

I noticed my mother. She was standing there, in front of me,bringing color to the world. She turned to me, and said – ''Oh, Ayato, already home?''

A tear flowed down my cheek.

''Mo-'' – As I began the sentence, I didn't get to finish it. A small boy passed trough me, like I was a ghost. He was wearing shorts and a t-shit with a bunny logo on it. He had black, short, and spiky hair.

''Thats.. me.'' - I stuttered. The child me walked up to my mother and started talking about his day. All I could do is watch this scene in a daze.

Suddenly, nausea hit me, and the scenery shattered like glass. In front of me stood the man who killed my parents. I remembered everything about him. His red eyes, his, long, tar black hair. He was wearing light armor, with the base color of black, his boots were army style, black. He was muscular, and looked middle aged.

''You're sweaty'' – he said in a low voice.

My world was spinning.

''Calm down, I'll help you'' – He was in the motion of touching my forehead.

Every nerve, every gear in body went into overdrive, I hit off the hand, sidestepped, and catched the killer by his neck and got it into a chokehold. His life was in my hands.

''KID, STOP!''

My world stopped spinning and I understood what happened. It was a nightmare. And I was holding the nurse in a chokehold. I released her and started frantically apologizing. She coughed and tried to catch her breath. She looked at me, in fear. A middle-aged man in a suit, with purple eyes, black hair and with golden bangs in front, and a slight stubble helped her to get up and he held her hand. The nurse blushed and started to stutter. She bowed and walked away.

''Ain't that the spirit, eh kid.'' – The man sat down on my bed. I was sweating really hard. Half of my bed was drenched, as was my clothes.

''..Who are you?'' – I was sitting up in my bed, I still felt dizzy.

''Oh right, I didn't tell you. '' The man chuckled. – ''I'm Azazel, the governor of the Fallen Angels.

''...What?'' – I was confused.

''Yeah, that was all I could tell when Vali came into my office with bloody kid on his shoulders. You were out cold. ''

''Then Vali, he..?'' – He noticed it was hard for me talk

''Yeah, I took Vali in when he was a kid. I taught him everything he knows, you know.'' Azazel smiled. The smile looked evil.

''..What will happen to me now?'' – As I said that he started to scratch his chin.

''You? Well, I'll get you a place to live and some cash.''

''..But why? Why for me, do all this?''

''Why? Well, Vali said he is gonna train you. He told me he is going to make you into a strong devil. Plus, he told me your situation, your parents, that is. He tried to hide it, but he was feeling sympathy for you.''

''..I don't know how to answer to all this..'' I looked down to the floor.

''How about just saying ''thank you''?'' –The governor grinned.

''..Thank you.'' – I bowed my head.

''Anyways, you don't look too god. I'll come back in a few days, you need rest.''

I decided to look at the facts. The only damage that I have left is scars and mental damage. I'll pass on spending another week in the silence of the hospital.

''Mr. Azazel, wait. I just had a nightmare, I'm fine.'' – I got out of the bed. My joints were stiff. My legs felt so heavy , it was almost like they were filled with lead.

''..Alright then. Wait here, I'll be back soon, I'll go pick up some documents and get you some clothes.'' – With that, the governor walked away in a quick pace. I was wearing the hospital robes.

I needed to wash my face. I asked the nearby nurse for directions and went to the bathroom.

The water washed away my restlessness together with the sweat. There was a mirror above the sink and that was when I noticed. My usually flawlessly straight, black hair was messy and had strands of white. My face looked like I had aged 5 years in the span of this week. I had a straight scar on my left cheek.

It was the same face, yet I couldn't recognize it.

I opened the hospital robe to look at my body. My muscle was covered with countless scratches and scars, the small amount of fat I had was gone, and I looked a bit more skinny than I was before.

''Makes sense, I guess, I slept for a week.'' – I was talking to myself. I closed the hospital robe.

I looked at my face more closely to the mirror. I tried to smile. My face became stiff and my lips formed into a unnerving grin while my eyes stayed the same way, slightly squinting.

'''The face of a 100 battle warrior, my friend. '' – I swiped my leg and turned around. It was Vali.

''Vali, don't sneak up on my like that.'' – I lowered my arms.

''..Even though you went trough a single one.'' – he shrugged. He was wearing a suit.

''Whats with the suit?''

''We are having a meeting with the Grigori people, come, we have one ready for you as well.'' Vali turned around and waved his hand. I followed him.

We went back to the room. I changed into the suit. It was a slim fitting, black suit with a white shirt. I was in the process of putting on the necktie when I realized that I have no idea how to tie it.

I looked at Vali, who was standing in doorway. ''Vali, can you help me tie the-'' – I went silent the moment he turned to me. He didn't have one.

''You don't know how tie a necktie either?'' – I spoke as I couldn't hold in a chuckle.

''Don't even start, Ayato.''- Vali answered in a angry tone.

I exhaled as I threw away the necktie. –''Lets go.''


It was raining outside, we walked side by side, Vali was a centimeter or two taller than me. We reached the outer side of the hospital and stopped.

''This is a really fitting weather, isn't it.'' –I said.

''It is.'' Vali snickered. –'' Azazel should be here soon.''

I looked at the purple sky and let the rain drops hit my face. A black sports car came around the corner. Vali got in the front, I in the back.

Azazel was at the wheel, and when he started driving he stated the facts. –''23% of your body is covered in scars and your right shoulder blade is burned pretty badly. Some of the scars were old. But anyways, other than that, it's only mental damage that is left now.''

He looked at me, he seemed concerned.

''I'm- I'm fine, Mr. Azazel.'' – I stuttered. He has a way of talking with people, I noted that.

''Drop the ''Mr.'', Ayato. ''- Azazel laughed as he sped up.

We were speeding down the streets of the Fallen Angel territory. I was looking at the streets. They didn't really seem all that different from the Devil side.

''Where are we going anyways, Azazel?''- I enquired.

''To the Grigori. A fallen Angel organization that I lead. It has a lot of training and testing areas''- he chuckled- ''You will enjoy it, trust me.''

''..I see. Remind me again, why are we wearing suits?''

He scratched his head- ''Ah, right, I didn't tell you. I'll introduce you to the leaders of the Grigori and your initiation will be held.''

''Initiation?''

He smirked. – ''Yes, indeed, an initiation. Because you are a devil, it might go down wrong, but whatever, just keep you head down.''


With that, we arrived at the Grigori. It was a giantic, castle-like building with an enormous free land around it. It was starting to rain even heavier. We went into the building. The building inhabitants were all looking at us.

''Are you guys really popular here?'' – I asked Vali, who was walking near me, and like me, behind Azazel.

He smirked. ''No, Ayato, you are. You are center of all of the talks that have been going down here.''

''How the hell did that happen?'' – I was bewildered, honestly.

''Well, probably the fact that I brought you in here, and that you are getting welcomed to the inner circle. And lets not forget the fact that you are a devil.''

''..I see.''

While we talked, we had arrived at the lift. We got in, Azazel took out a card and swiped it, and the lift started to move.

We arrived at the top, as we stepped out, I felt a strong concentration of power in the air. We walked few meters ahead in a big, expensive looking corridor with paintings. We stepped trough big double-doors and there they were. 3 Men.

One was a tall, strong body build man, with a robe and ornaments, he just nodded.

Second was a gruffy looking middle-aged man, with black hair, matching beard and a muscular body. He just looked at me from head to toe, and said nothing.

The third was releasing killing intent and had a grin on his face. He was a tall and muscular. He was wearing a suit like robe with gold ornaments. He had spiky ears, red eyes and long, black hair. He was standing with hands in his pockets, clearly not pleased with the situation.

The long man with the pleased look shook my hand.

''Nice to see on your feet again. I'm Shemhazai, I'll be the next head of Grigori if Azazel does something stupid.''

I nod, and try to smile. Hearing how Vali snickered, I guess It wasn't a great one.

''I'm Barakiel.''

With the way the gruffy looking man said it and looking at his body language, I guess he isn't really happy about me being here. But still, I guess it is better than the third jackass. He brought his face closer to mine.

''Listen, you little shit, don't you think It's enough with one shitty half-devil? And now you show up? ''

Azazel stepped in. – ''We talked about this, calm down Kokabiel.''

I know I should have stayed quit, I know that I should have kept my head down. Then why? Why can't I stop myself?''

''How about I displace your fucking teeth, you yankee bastard?''

Silence.

''AhahaHAHAHAHAHAHA.''- Kokabiel let out a loud laugh. He seemed entertained.'' – So the kid can talk huh?'' He came a step closer, but Azazels arm stopped him. He was angry.

''You know what happens if you do anything to this boy, right?''

''..Yeah yeah, I'll just test him a bit.''

He conjured a light sword in his hand, and lunged at me. If I was off guard I wouldn't have been able to move, his killing intent was just that strong, but i wasn't. I concentrated my energy flow to the legs and decided to dash behind him.

..With a loud noise I crashed in the wall on the other side of the room. My chest hurt like It was getting impaled by a thousand needles. I fell to my knee and started coughing.

''What the hell did you expect, you idiot? He still has to recover.'' – Azazel hit Kokabiel with the back of his palm, Kokabiel crashed into the other wall. '' NOW I'LL HAVE TO REPAIR THESE WALLS GODDAMI-OUCH!''- Azazels fit was stopped by the God Rule system that didn't allow Fallen Angels and Devils mention god's name. He was holding his head.

The stinging feeling was almost over, and Vali had walked over to me. He gave me his hand and helped me to get up. He whispered into my ear –''The power, did you feel it?''

''You mean, her power is the reason why I couldn't control my dash?'' – I whispered back.

''Yeah, and we will talk about that later, for now, I'll tell you one thing - lie, deceive and exploit.''

I'm ready to do everything it takes. Even it if takes me to hell and back.

With the commotion ending, everyone stood around me. Azazel spoke.

''Ayato, are you ready to join the Grigori?''

''..Yes.''

''Are you ready to throw away being a devil, and serving the Satan?''

I suppressed my laughter.

''Of course.''

''Will you serve the Grigori, and only the Grigori?''

I hesitated slightly. – ''Yes''

''Members, do you agree?''

Shemhazai answered – '' Yes''

Barakiel answered, although didn't sound very pleased. – '''..Yes.''

Vali just watched silently. I guess he isn't one of the top dogs.

And lastly, the now with a bruise on his face, Kokabiel answered- ''Whatever, at least the kid has some guts.''

Azazel glared at him. – ''I'll take that as a yes.''

''Welcome Ayato, you are now a VIP class member of the Grigori, although Slash Dog isn't here to accommodate you, he wouldn't mind.'' – Azazel shook my hand.

He gave me a credit card and keys.

''The credit card has cash on it, so spend it as you please, but remember, one day you will work back what you spent.'' He put on an evil smirk – ''The keys are for your room, Vali, take him there.''

''Alright.''


With that, I was left alone with Vali. It felt a bit awkward.

''Listen, when was the last time you ate?'' Vali implored

''..About 9 days ago.''- My stomach involuntary roared.

''I figured, lets go get some food.''

I was led back down in the elevator, and into the Grigori cafeteria. The whole building looked fancy, including the cafeteria. We both got food, I took 3 bowls of rice and about a kilogram of chicken breast.

I was about to sit down at the nearby tables, but Vali signaled for us to go further. He stopped at a door, swiped his card and went in. I followed. What awaited us was a bunch of grade A tables. We went to the very end of the place.

''So this is how the VIP get treated here, huh.'' I said as we sat down.

''So, lets get to the topic at hand first. '' Vali took a bite out of his chicken.

''..Ophis''

''Yer a dumbass.''

''Huh?''

''Did you know it's bad luck to have a dragon god be near you? But you, you basically made yourself to be her familiar.''

''And your point is?'' –I was eating rice as I talked

''You really don't see a problem here?''

''Should I?'' I raised an eyebrow.

''..Nevermind then.'' - I think Vali actually facepalmed. –''Basically, about Ophis – No one knows, no one can know, and no one will know, got that?''

''..Yes.'' – I was moving rice around in the second bowl.- ''..But why did she accept me like that?'

''The hell would I know? But it's weird, do you have a high affinity for dragons or something?''

''High what? '' – I was confused

''Affinity. Like, affinity with ice makes your ice magic be a lot stronger than others. The same with dragons. If you have an affinity with dragons, they will be attracted to you, and they will enjoy your presence. But affinity so strong that it attracts the Dragon God, now that's a first.''

''..I see.'' I started eating the chicken. ''But why would I have it?''

''Do you have any dragon tamers from your mothers side?''

''That's the thing. I have no idea about my mothers past. All I know is that she is an extra devil.''

''..So she didn't tell you anything about your grandparents and such?''

''No, she didn't. Guess I'll need to do some digging. Possibly, I'll find out what the real reason for the assassins were.''

Vali smirked. ''You are smarter than you look , you know that? Well, now you look like a torture victim, but that's a whole another story. ''

I chuckled. ''They don't send assassins, especially this skilled assassins to kill someone who made a child with a human. Even I understand that.''

We ate in silence for a while.

''You know, you never did tell me anything about why we are hiding everything about Ophis.''

Vali looked away. ''I'll tell you everything soon. Ophis will show up soon enough.''

''So, what will you do tomorrow?''

''Me? No Ayato, we.''

''What do you mean?''

''You will be my training partner.'' Vali started to laugh.'' Will you be able to keep up?''

I grinned – ''I will, don't worry.''

I was in my room. It was a giant, studio type room. My house all together had less space. The Walls were filled with books. It had a boxing bag, some weights, and a salmon ladder. I dropped in the bed, exhausted.

Although I was exhausted, I couldn't sleep, so I kept staring out of the window. It was already night time. I felt so fucking lonely.


A boy looked at the moon

And the moon looked at a boy

The moon wasn't alone, he had many

A boy had only the moon.

As he stared at the moon

All he could think was

That this world is wrong.
