A week has passed since Arthur defeated the Raymer family and helped Silvia get her home backArthur and Sky now live with Silvia since the mercenaries hired to kidnapp Silvia burned the apartment building they were living in.Arthur and Silvia were sitting in the living room in front of the chimney.

Silvia: so, what is you story?

Arthur: wait, Sky ain't here yet

Halbert: can you atleast tell us a bit?, when i put my chains on you i felt a mana like no other, strong but dreadful.

Arthur: sign very well

Silvia: well done Halbert

Halbert: thank you Lady Silvia

Arthur: thing is, only half of my being is human , the other one is some creature of the old, i don't know what ,but i know that its dangerous

Silvia: what do you mean by , dangerous?

Arthur: my body can handle that power fine ,but, the mind can not

Halbert: good stars, are you saying you are mad?

Arthur: WHAT?.No!. Look, you know how i looked while fighting right?

Silvia: how could i forget , you didn't look human almost at all.

Arthur: that is my limit , if i puss the transformation further, i lose control.

Arthur: my mind becomes that of the beast i was mixed with.

Silvia: what could they have mixed you with?. You can control all elements and even use all the combinations.

Arthur: I do not know, I followed the ones who created me and attacked them each time i had the chance, stealing bits of info from them, but i don't know much.

Silvia: And, how were you "born"?

Arthur: 18 years ago, they were multiple reports of kidnaps , the victims were women between 20 and 40 years old.

Halbert: i remember reading an article about it, what connection does it have?

Arthur: they kidnap the women and took their eggs from inside them.

Silvia: the ...eggs?She put her hand on her belly.

Halbert: good stars...how could they?!

Arthur: they did this to thousands ,but only 10 were successfully "born" .

Silvia: you and other 9 ,right?

Arthur: yes, Sky is one as well

Silvia: she is?.But she didn't look weird or had any weird power.

Just as they said that ,Sky walked in the room

Sky: hello, did you say my name?

Silvia: Sky, please have a-

Arthur:White ash...

Silvia: what?

Sky began losing her balance

Silvia: oh no,rushes to catch Sky before she falls.

Arthur:DON'T TOUCH HER!

Silvia: what?

Sky's eyes and hair changed and a pair of cat ears appeared.

Silvia: what in the world?

Halbert: in the name of all stars

Shiro: Mortem!. You really plan to tell them about us?. she was a bit pissed

Arthur: yes, now sit down,Shiro.

Silvia: Shiro?.Mortem?.

Arthur: those are the names given to us by the ones who created us, my real name is actually Mortem.

Shiro: I'm Shiro.

Silvia: but , what happened to Sky?

Arthur: i was surprised to find out this,but Shiro here had troubles

Shiro: true.

Silvia: what troubles?

Arthur: as I already told you , we are artificially made by combining a monster or spirit with a human ovul , we were raised in some facility.

Shiro: until 10 years ago

Arthur: yes,the church found out about us and commenced a full scale attack to kill every one inside.

Shiro: us, along with our 8 brothers and sisters were their main targets

Arthur: but as they began getting close to us, i started crying, then a bright purple light began shining from my hand.

Shiro: the next thing i know , i woke up somewhere in Miami

Arthur: i landed in New work, it seems i teleported everyone away,but to where?.I do not know.

Silvia: so , i assume Sky came here to study at Prismaura, since you were already living in new work.

Shiro: exactly.

Silvia: but that did not answear my previos question, what troubles?

Shiro: i still remember...i was scared and alone, then i noticed that my hair was turning black , next thing i know i woke up in a orphanage at night.

Shiro: I could remember everything that happened during the day though , like a dream.

Silvia: so , Sky is some split personality and you are the original

Shiro:yes, I can come out when she falls asleep or gets unconscious,But thanks to Mortem,who hypnotized Sky to fall asleep at a specific command

Silvia:white ash

Shiro:yes, if i pinch myself she wakes up

Silvia: i see,wait, Arthur had a tattoo on his back , a circle with 10 triangles , it was if a black color as well.

Arthur: that's our marks , they put them on us.

Shiro: its the same as a slave mark, but we escaped and we are now free

Arthur: we are not their tools

Silvia: does this mean you got one on your back as well?

Shiro: yes and no

Silvia: how come?

Shiro: yes ,I have one as well, no, it is not on my back

Silvia: may i see it?

Shiro: not with the boys in the room

Arthur: oh yeah... he seem to know where it is

Halbert: what does that mean exactly?, is it in a bad spot?

Arthur: its on ...

Shiro: its on my chest , the right one to be precise

Halbert: oh my!, i understand now

Arthur: yup, no way she's showing it to her as long as we are here.

Silvia: i understand, no need to show it to me then.

Arthur: anyway, we only want to do one thing.

Silvia: what do you mean?.What thing?.

Shiro: among us 10 there is one that's particularly dangerous

Arthur: and the reason of our creation, the Slayer of God.

Halbert: Slayer of God?.You mean?! he was shaken up by those words

Arthur: he was created to kill God and bring forth a new divine law, he is stronger than any living being.

Silvia: and , who is it?

Arthur: We do not know, we know it is one of the 10 who escaped, but.

Silvia: but?

Shiro: some time ago, we raided a info transfer of theirs.

Arthur: they had a list, with the names of the 10 and their halfs .

Halbert: then why did you say you do not know which one is the Slayer of God if you got that list?

Arthur: because we weren't fast enough, they heard us coming and tried to burn the list, most of the names were lost. he sounded pretty disappointed about it

Silvia:which ones remained?

Arthur: those are not the Slayer of God: Toro,Ains and Shiro

Silvia: wait, you were not on it

Arthur: mine must've burned,but i did saw a name that was market specifically.

Arthur: Deus

Halbert: that's the Latin word for God

Halbert:But isn't your name in Latin as well?,hmm.

Arthur: if you put Mortem and Deus togheter it does not add up in translation

Silvia: still, are you going to be alright?.

Arthur: don't worry about us.

Shiro: we survived this long, plus ,we are so close to finding him that i can basically smell him

Arthur: anyway, don't touch Shiro while she's like this, she absorbs mana whenever her skin touches something.

Silvia: what?

Shiro: MORTEM!,telling a girl secret is not nice!

Arthur's hair and eyes changed

Arthur/Mortem: anyway,the 2nd semester is going to start in a few weeks, the estate is not fully repaired either ,but i think i need to increase my knowledge.

Halbert: what do you mean?

Mortem: your magic, it is Sin based am I right?

Halbert: it is indeed, I use the Sin of Lust.

Silvia: Lust?

Shiro:Lust?

Mortem: dirty old man

Halbert: it is not like that!. The sin does not reflect ones personality, it can be its complete opposite as well.

Mortem: ok...

Halbert: anyway, what would you like to know Sir...

Halbert: oh my, i do not know how to call you.

Mortem: use Arthur.

Halbert: very well, then ,what would you like yo know ,Sir Arthur.

His hair and eyes changed back

Arthur: everything you can teach me about Sin based magic

Halbert: i feel like a teacher again, do you know i used to be a professor at the Sinaps Academy?

Silvia: you were?

Halbert: indeed, i was the kindess but also the most severe one of all.

Arthur: that sounds good, anyway, let's all call it a day.

Silvia: i agree , i would like a shower

Shiro pinched herself

Sky: what?

Silvia:-i don't think we are suppose to let Sky know about Shiro-

Sky: I need a shower

Arthur: Silvia already called dips on it,you'll have to go after her.

Halbert:I'm afraid that won't be possible, the fight you had damaged the water plumbing as well, there is only enough for one person to shower now.

Sky: i mean, we could go together

Silvia: oh yeah,that way we won't have problems with the water.

Arthur:!

Halbert:!

Arthur: Whispers did i heard that right?

Halbert: whispers indeed, 2 beautiful young ladies are gonna shower together, it is a man dream.

Arthur:should we peek?

Halbert: as the butler of the Silverleaf family i can not let you do that,but as a man, I'm down for it.
