Chapter Text

"Isn't this the old ark of the noah family!?" Lavi asked, eyening the white city suspicious.

"Yes, I just got back what was mine from the beginning." Allen said, stating the obvious.

"What was mine from the beginning." Repeated lavi slowly. "The white ark belongs to you!? B-but you're not a noah!...right?" Lavi questioned, he knew the teen was a innocence wielder but a noah? Never!

"You never told your apprentice, old man?" Allen asked, looking at bookman with a bemused expression. He sighed, he has to explain everything again goddammit.

"Don't call me that, you foolish boy, you should expect this. Its-"

"The duty of a bookman, yeah yeah I got that 45 years ago." Stated allen, crossing his arms.

Lavi stared at them dumbfounded, where did the politish allen go!?. "What? Old man? Foolish boy? 45 years ago!?"

"Finnee, since the olds man here is wayyyy too lazy to explain, I shall do it. Again." He grumbled playfully.

"Explain? What exactly explain?"

"Okay, lavi I told you I know a bookman from the past, right?" He questioned, looking at lavi with narrowed eyes.

"Uhh... yes?"

"Well you see, that bookman was former apprentice of bookman here." He gestured to bookman.

Lavi's eyes widened slightly at the revelation. "Say what?"

"Yeah.. and that bookman apprentice was, is, actually me.." he continued, watching lavi's expression change between mischief to confusion.

"..how?" Came out of his lips before he realised it. "And what's about the 45 years ago?"

"The war isn't like it seems." He sighed. "Let me explain what happened after I stopped being the apprentice of bookman."

"Its so confusing!" Exclaimed lavi, his hands in his hair gripping. "You're a noah?! With innocence?! How is that even possible?!"

"Well... I told you, the innocence I have inside of me is the heart, the earl and the heart are bounded!" Explained allen. Again.

"I got that! And magic? Seriously!? How- magic doesn't exist!" He stated like the obvious.

"It does exist, cross uses magic to his second innocence maria, so her corpse doesn't rot."

"Magic... I can't believe it!" He said. Allen sighed. "Want me to demonstrate?" He shook his head as lavi nodded.

"Magniior." He whispered, holding up his hand as a tiny flame made it's way on said hand.

Lavi's eyes widened again, coming closer. "I want to touch it."

Allen snorted. "Yeah, no, don't. Its still fire." Not hearing what he said, lavi reached his hand out and touched the tiny flame.

Only to yelp and jump back as it burned his skin. "Ouch! That burns!"

Bookman shook his head, idiot. "What is your plan, foolish boy?" He asked, addressing allen by his nickname.

"Well for first, trying to get that habit of calling me a fool away. Second, get mana back to his senses so he can fight adam and help freeingsame soul from all hate that has build up in him."

"I will send a message to the clan, they need to send another bookman to the order." Bookman sighed. "Lavi, pack your things, we will stay here and watch history taking its lead."

Lavi nodded, yes he is kinda sad but only slightly! Hopefully lenalady won't cry as much as he thinks she will..

"Are you guys finished?" Came another voice, the noise of two people entering echoed through the room.

"Wisely, Road, good timing." Allen smiled, catching road as she jumped on him.

"Allen! Nea!" She said, clinging on him like monkey. Allen's sighed again,but smiling anyway. "Yes we both are here."

Lavi stared at the two Noah's, gripping his innocence. "Lavi, hand away. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that I will be trying to take some noah's on our side too." He laughed nervously.

Lavi loosened his grip on his innocence, looking between his master, allen and the Noah's.

"Heart, I have successfully gotten the cardinal on leverrier's tail." Lavi looked from the noah's to the... cardinal?!

"The c-cardinal?!" He spluttered out. "Ah... let me excuse myself again, I as the heart have a bodyguard that is also the cardinal."

"Apocryphos, bookman's. Bookman's, apocryphos." He introduced.

"By the way, he is innocence, like he is not human but fully innocence." He added quickly.

Lavi was sure his eyes would drop out.
