The fifteenth noah sat on the large crystallized green cross. The green cross faintly illuminated in a dull light. I looked around. Several similar-like crosses encircled me. How come I didn't notice it earlier? I tensed and prepared Crown Clown for a possible attack. There's no way knowing on how the fifteenth noah would attack. I didn't exactly expected to come across the fifteenth. Now, of all times.
"Lost Musician, let me guide your way out of those binding lies...", she said with a smile.
I was confused. What does she mean? Suddenly a green chain wrapped around my left arm. It came from one of the crosses! I looked up at the fifteenth. She looked at me and made a gesture with her right hand. A graceful one. More chains shot out of the other crosses and tied me. It almost restricted me from any movements... I couldn't break even If I wanted to. The fifteenth raised her hand in front of her and murmured something I can't understand.
An inverted cross appeared on the floor beneath me. Tch, If I didn't came back before one hour, Road would be furious at me!
'Yoru ni utaeba, yami ni nomarete, Asa no hikari ga sore wo terasu...'
That song... It seems to be familiar to me. Although, I don't remember where I heard it before. I felt an unbearable pain on my left eye. It felt like my left eye was being vut into half. I squinted my eyes shut. A warm liquid flow down my cheeks. It was coming from my left eye. It wasn't tears... I covered my left eye with right hand.
I slowly opened my eyes. I removed my hand from my eye and stared at it. It was covered in blood!
'Todokanai, sou jyanai; Tobira wa mou hirakateru...
ah fumikomu dake, omoigiri'
I suddenly felt dizzy. My vision started to dim. I could hear someone calling for me but it was faint. Distant. A memory flashed before me. Though I can't be sure whose was it...
I was staring at a young girl. She have a golden brown hair and big brown eyes. She seemed to be lonely. Something about her got my attention... I started to approach her.
"Where are you going, Neah?" Neah? Who's Neah?...
"i'm just going to check out something...", I said then smiled."I won't be running away or anything so don't worry, Mana.."
This was one of the rare times that the Duke had allowed me to stroll off... Without any other noahs around. That was why i got Mana to come with me today. I hadn't been with him for quite a while. Anyway, I approached the girl and crouched in front of her.
"What's your name?", I asked her.
suikomu dake, kono shousoukan mo
anata ga ima koko ni iru riyuu wa, Kono amaoto ga shitteru...
"N-name?", the girl repeated,"I... I don't have any..."
nonimo no negai, watashi ni wa nai mono
anata ga motteru kazu...
"You don't have any?", I repeated in surprise. I thought for moment. A name came up on my mind."How about 'Clea'? Do you like that name?"
"C... Clea", the girl siad, repeating the name.
"Then it's settled!. You're name is now Clea", I said in satisfaction.
"Neah!", Mana exclaimed,"You can't just give people names when you feel like it!"
"Eh? But why?", I asked my older brother in confusion,"It suits her, I think she also likes it...", I reasoned, glancing at the girl. She has a small smile on her face but it was still a smile.
ah fumikomu dake, omoigiri
suikomu dake, kono shousoukan mo
watashi ga ima koko ni iru no wo, kore kara wo sagashiteru...
... The memory faded away and everything went black...
The fifteenth watched as the Musician fell on his knees and onto the floor. The chains disappeared and the other crosses also dissolved away. She landed on the floor gracefully. The inverted cross on the floor faded. Clea had felt something awfully familiar as she sang the song. The song was taught to her by the Musician. Although, a curse was recently added to it. A curse melded into a song...
She gazed at the fourteenth's unconscious figure. The Musician's innocence had already deactivated itself. The fourteenth was sprawled on the floor. His hair was permanently changed into silvery white from brown. A scar went over his left eye which ended in a pentacle. A curse.
"...I regret doing this to him", she muttered.
"But wasn't it necessary?", a playful voice asked.
The fifteenth nodded. Timcanpy landed on her shoulder as gazed at the ceiling."It was but still...", she trailed off and paused."We're on to the phase b of the plan..."
"Phase B, eh?", the voice said. A young man stepped outside from behind a pillar. He had been watching them since the beginning."I guess it's my turn now..."
"Yes... Just be careful", Clea said, gazing at him,"...Fiddler."
Fiddler smiled."Haven't I always been?"
The fifteenth merely watched as the sixth disciple disappeared from the view. Fiddler had just recently reached the final stage of his transformation. The maturity stage. Only few manage to reach it. It usually depends on the noah himself. It has its own advantages. The noah's abilities are enhanced and also deep memories of the noah... Even sealed ones surfaces.
It was something the Millenium Earl didn't know when he did that thing. A flaw in his plan. She counted the awakened noahs in her head. Adam, Tryde, Joyd, Desires, Fiddler, Mercym, Wrath, Road, Bondomu, Lustul, Lluze and Neah. The Duke would only need for Wisely's awakening. Once he did, The Earl's real plan would be revealed.
Time was short. She had to stop the Earl's plan somehow. Before Wisely awakens. The so-called plans the Millenium Earl had told the other noahs were all lies to cover his real intentions. All lies.
Clea turned her attention to the golden golem on her shoulder."You should stay with him, Timcanpy", she said, referring to Allen.
The golem flew away and fluttered near Allen's unconscious body. The golem was really special. It was understandable, after all, he's creator was special too...
At some place...
"Can't you walk any faster?"
"Can you walk slower?", Mana countered politely,"I'm still not used in walking..."
"Tch, I would have been at the Order already if it weren't for a certain slow clown", Cross Marian frowned.
"You don't really need to drag me along", Mana said,"What do you need me there for? Moral support?"
"I need you there to... resolve some... issues."
"If it's your debts, Cross. I'm not paying for them...", he said then sighed,"Besides, you still haven't paid that money you owed my brother..."
Cross Marian growled."You're worse than your niece...", he said then glanced at the sky. He saw a golden akuma flying towards them. "Finally..." Mana gazed at the sky. He also saw it. The akuma landed in front of them.
"Forgive me for being late, Master Cross...", The akuma apologized.
"I'm going now...", Mana said, starting to walk away. His niece had requested him if he could configure some of the Ark's settings. He had to time it, considering he can't be caught by the noahs. It was risky but it was for his brother's sake.
"Allen..."
Suishou Yume Suishou Yume Suishou Yume Suishou Yume Suishou Yume Suishou Yume: Special Note
Selfine: Hai! Hello everyone! Today we'll be having a short interview for the OCs of the fanfic Musician of Innocence!... Yume said she's too lazy to just put some author's note. Though on my opinion this is much longer.. Anyway that's the reason why we'll be doing it this way! Let's now interview our first guest! The thirteenth disciple of the Noah Clan, The Noah of Illusions, Tadeo Reins!
Tadeo: Why do I have to go to this... interview? I still haven't finished my school project! I'm already two days late!
Selfine: So that means you still attend school?
Tadeo: Actually, yes. My character is based on the author's brother, right?( Selfine: nods) In reality, I'm still in first year high school!...Hey, aren't you suppose to be a dog?
Selfine: Ahem. Anyway, you should tell us more about your character...
Tadeo: My character here is the thirteenth noah, which represents the Illusions of Noah. I have replaced the real 13th disciple: Mightra. Some of my abilities is uh... making a copy of a person that I have killed or tasted its blood. The replica also retains the original's abilities although it is cutted down in half. Also, as you may have already guessed, the Musician is my uncle.
Selfine: So, first question! What is your relationship with Chomesuke?
Tadeo: What do you mean?
Selfine: Well, on chapter ?: New Beginning, you called Chomesuke, Chome.
Tadeo: It's just a nickname! Nothing special.
Selfine: Seems like she has a crush on you~
Tadeo: That's just a joke, right?... Right?
Selfine: (smiles mysteriously) Maybe... Who knows?
Tadeo: (stood up) I'm leaving...
Selfine: (watch as Tadeo leaves and sighed) Let's just move to our second guest... The fifteenth noah, The Noah of Veracity!
Clea: Uhh..(glances at Selfine) I'm sort of busy right now, can you make this quick?
Selfine: Sure, I'll only ask you one question but first tell us more about your character...
Clea: My name is Clea. It was a name given to me by Neah, I wouldn't reveal all the details right now because it's classified. I represent the 'Veracity' of Noah. I often use a crystallized green cross as a symbol, it is also my tool made by Cross Marian. One of the rare ability I developed is to bring someone back from the dead. It's a mix of my Uncle Cross' spell and the dark matter. Though it won't work on persons that had been turned into an akuma. I had been granted access on the Noah's Ark without the other noahs noticing my presence inside there... That's all I could tell you right now.
Selfine: Ah, my question! What's your relation with the Musician...
Clea: I can't tell you that, it's also classified. My relation with the Musician and the real Millenium Earl's plan will be revealed in the next part of this fanfic.
Selfine: Eh? There's a continuation of this fanfic? Why haven't I been told about this?
Clea: (plays with Timcanpy) I don't know...
Selfine: Next question...
Clea: You said you'll only ask me one question, right? I told you, I'm busy..
Selfine: (sighs heavily then smiles) That concludes our short interview! The next part of this fanfiction will be revealed at a later time... Oh, I've just received a letter from the author...
'Do you want me to continue with the next part of the fanfiction? If yes, please review in this chapter. Is it okay for you if I change from 1st person POV to 3rd person?
-Suishou Yume'
