Chapter~Nine: Visiting the healers
After lunch, Adam led the way to a hidden room that Enya hadn't seen during her tour with Tyki. He noticed the confusion on her face and told Enya, "This room moves around in the house unless someone needs to get onto the ark."
"Wasn't that one of the designs Mightra was designing back in the beginning?" Enya asked earning a light nod from Adam.
Enya could feel how pleased he was by the question. Adam looked back at her as they reached the black and white door, "Yes. We incorporated quite a few designs over the years. A few of your own were set up, but we mostly left your work room alone save for cleaning it up."
Enya stared at him in shock, "My original work room is still there?"
"Yes though it was hidden within the depths of the ark. Only Nea ever went inside once you died," Adam informed her, "In fact, I believe he let Cross borrow your organic golem designs,"
"That would explain why Timcanpy felt familiar despite my missing memories," Enya watched as Adam opened the door and walked inside, "Where is Tim?"
"I believe he is currently with the reincarnated Exorcists," Enya followed Adam and felt warmth flow through her veins upon entering the familiar main hall of the ark, "Allen will likely bring him here upon his return," Enya looked around the hall which was a rather nice mixture of black, white, and purple, "Welcome home, Enya,"
The words made Enya's eyes sting as the realization hit her. She was where she truly belonged. She was finally home.
After Enya had wiped away her tears and recomposed herself, Adam led the way through the ark while saying, "We created a few permanent anchoring points that have doors leading to certain locations. The entrance hall is reserved for the location a majority of the main clan members live and use as a base so to speak. Currently, we have one anchoring point in each continent though in Europe we have three."
"Where are the clan healers stationed?" Enya asked curiously.
"The clan healers are currently stationed in Japan," Adam replied as they moved out into the sea-side city-like area inside of the Noah's personal dimension, "I will warn you that the healers we have are mostly hybrid beings,"
Enya nodded lightly while asking, "Do any more work for the clan that aren't healers?"
"Yes though you will not meet most of them," Adam informed her, "They mostly work to keep the clan safe though many run businesses that were created by the clan," They were walking through a small garden that Enya remembered playing in as a child with Nea and Road, "The ones your likely to meet are the servants that keep the estate we're currently living in running,"
"I see," Enya paused before asking, "Do you use house elves?"
Adam shook his head, "We unfortunately cannot. Our magical cores are incompatible with theirs. If we try to bond with them, it is likely that the house elf will either explode due to too much pure energy," Enya winced at the thought of such a painful end, "Or our energy twists theirs to the point their own magic will rip them to shreds. As you can no doubt tell, it ends very painfully for them," Adam looked at her as they walked down a set of stairs, "Of course, we can see if you'll be able to bond with them."
Enya shook her head, "I'd rather not kill an innocent elf just to test a theory."
"Understandable," Adam stopped walking in front of an innocent looking blue door, "Now, you'll experience a small amount of discomfort as we walk through the doorway. It's normal for the first few trips,"
"Noted," Enya watched him open the door as a shiver ran down her spine, 'Right. This is going to be horrible,'
Enya stumbled through the door and fell face first onto the ground earning a few chuckles. She cursed softly under her breath in the various languages she knows. The most frequent were English, French, Portuguese which she got from Tyki, Russian, and Japanese which she picked up from Kanda out of boredom and wishing to insult him in his own language. Enya raised her head as she heard Adam say, "Oh dear, it seems you didn't take to it too well."
"Uncle Adam?" Enya tried to ignore the fact her mouth had a flavor that she could only describe as 'blue' alongside a rather metallic taste that reminded her of blood.
"Yes?" Adam was standing in front of her.
"Kindly shut the fuck up," She groaned softly, "That was worse than a fucking portkey," Enya slowly got up only to find her world spinning which almost sent her back to the floor as Adam grabbed her before she could fall, "Can we please just take the regular version of the ark from now on? I never wanted to know what blue tasted, yet now I know,"
Adam chuckled while keeping her steady so as to allow her a chance to regain her balance. A slightly cold feminine voice murmured, "And I thought you said this was one of the more respectable of the bunch."
"She's really is," Adam told the woman as Enya turned to focus on the speaker, "It's merely the traveling method that messed with her. Travel sickness does that to one,"
"True," Enya blinked as she found herself face to face with a woman that had pale green scales covering her body, "Hello, Enya. My name is Tris,"
'She's rather pretty if you dismiss the scales, serpentine eyes, forked tongue, and lack of visible nose,' Enya decided after realizing that the woman was in fact real, 'I think this is what that Voldy was going for when he did that ritual,' Enya shivered before greeting the woman, "Hello, Tris. It's a pleasure to meet you,"
Tris nodded lightly before speaking to Adam, "Follow me, I'll show you to where the exam room is."
Enya let Adam lead her as she struggled to get her head to stop spinning. It took until they arrived to a rather open looking room that reminded Enya of the nurses' office back during her school years before she went to Hogwarts. Adam pointed her towards the exam table while he took a seat in one of the rather comfortable looking chairs. Enya noticed Tris leaving and asked Adam, "Where's she going?"
"She's going to get the healer that will be working with you," Adam told her, "How do you feel?"
"A bit better," Enya licked her lips and gagged slightly, "How the hell do I know what blue tastes like?"
"It's one of the kinks that we haven't figure out how to get rid of," Adam explained with a light laugh before he turned serious, "Enya, do you wish for me to stay with you or do you want me to leave?"
Enya thought about it for a while before asking, "Will the Healer tell you everything regardless?"
"Yes," Adam watched Enya fidget a little.
She thought about it for a little longer before asking, "Can you stay for a little bit than leave until we're finished?"
"Of course," He offered her a comforting smile, "Everything will be fine, Enya,"
Enya offered him a strained smile in return. She knew that everything wouldn't be fine since the Healer was likely to get her full medical history. She was slightly glad that the Dursely's were both already dead and that her family wouldn't create anymore akuma as she was certain they'd be on a war path. Of course, Dumbledore was going to get his ass kicked and more than likely murdered once everything came out since a majority of what happened was his fault. Enya mentally muttered, 'At least I will not be alone when the times come to fulfill my end of the Deal.'
"Hello Enya, my name is Healer Dickens," A woman that looked more like a lioness than a human told her.
She had dark red fur covering a majority of her body and a small mane of red hair falling to her shoulders. She had a pair of glasses perched upon her short muzzle. A long tail swished behind her and snaked out to close the door behind the healer. She wore a white lab coat over top a rather nice dark green blouse and a black skirt that fell to her ankles. Enya cleared her throat as she realized that she'd been staring, "Sorry. I've never seen anyone like you before."
"It's fine," Healer Dickens assured her, "My mother's species tends to avoid countries outside of Africa or Japan, so I'm not surprised. I'm a human/Lyeon hybrid,"
"Lyeon?" Enya asked her curiously, "I've never heard of a being like that before,"
"Lyeon are anthropomorphic lions that have the ability to cast magic much like mages, but we also tend to be much more physical when it comes to our magic use," Healer Dickens informed her, "Now, I believe it's time we begin going through the basics,"
Enya nodded lightly.
By the time Healer Dickens had finished the examination, Enya had been poked, prodded, and stabbed. Enya wasn't exactly in the best mood by the time Healer Dickens announced that they were finished that day and allowed Enya to leave the exam room. Healer Dickens led the way to where Adam was patiently waiting with Tris and informed everyone, "I'll have the results of everything ready to be picked up tomorrow morning," Healer Dickens looked at Adam, "I will say that what I know so far isn't good."
"Are there any problems that need to be addressed as soon as possible?" Adam asked while eyeing Enya with worry.
"The scar on Enya's forehead used to contain a Horcrux," Healer Dickens informed them making Adam and Tris gasp in horror while Enya looked at them in confusion, "However, it seems that Inari's wrath contained it and recently destroyed the soul piece," Healer Dickens looked at Enya, "Did anything happen recently that would have caused the fire to go near your forehead and cleanse the soul piece?"
Enya frowned before recalling something that had happened during Voldemort's attempt to possess her, "Voldy attempted to possess me using the link that I had with him which I'm guessing was caused by the Horcrux. I got really angry when I realized what he was trying to do and wanted to burn him into ash for trying. I just really wanted to get rid of whatever was causing the connection. I ended up being surrounded in a cocoon of fire. During that time," Enya focused on the memory, "I felt my forehead prickling and my headache worsen to the point it felt like someone decided to stab me in my brain with a white-hot fire poker. It kept getting worse by the minute before it suddenly stopped and I felt a lot better than I ever had before," Enya looked at the three with her, "After that, my fire shot out towards Voldemort and managed to burn him a bit before he disappeared with his bitchy side-kick."
"Which would explain why you are no longer a host to it," Healer Dickens nodded to herself, "That makes things much better and will likely help in your healing," She smiled at them, "I will be taking my leave now. I need to get everything done,"
"Of course," Adam's smile felt strained, "Thank you for your help,"
"It's my job," Healer Dickens left with a wave to Enya.
Adam spoke to Tris in a language that Enya didn't recognize before he grabbed her hand and led her out of the room.
When they got back, Adam led her into his study where they both got settled down. Adam was silent as he fiddled with some documents on his desk making Enya feel anxious and alarmed. She shifted slightly before breaking the silence that had settled over them since they'd left the clan healers, "Adam, what's wrong?"
Adam took a deep breath as his Earl disguise faded away. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "You are very lucky Inari's Wrath got rid of it."
"Why?" Enya asked him curiously, "What exactly is a Horcrux?"
Adam sighed as he leaned back against his chair, "Since you have always had an aversion towards magics of the soul, it is highly unlikely that you would have run into any mention of the magic though I had hoped that the Hogwarts would at least have a warning against them," He shook his head, "It just goes to show you how blind English mages have become since the Founders lived."
"Adam?" Enya pressed making the man offer her a tired smile.
"A Horcrux is a piece of someones soul that was split from the main body after an act of murder which was done with the intention of making one along side a small ritual that was prepared at least an hour before the user kills their victim," Adam informed her earning a horrified gasp from Enya, "With it, the user cannot truly die until the soul piece is destroyed. It is one of the few magics that even I am disgusted by,"
Enya suddenly realized why Death was having trouble with Riddle's soul, "The bastard made more than one Horcrux."
"Who?" Adam looked at her in confusion.
"Voldemort created more than one Horcrux," Enya explained earning a surprised look from Adam, "He's the soul that Death wishes for me to take care of,"
Adam realized where she was going with this, "If he's made more, we need to find them in order to kill him."
Enya groaned softly, 'Of course it wouldn't be an easy job. Inari damn it.'
Adam was about to speak when a knock sounded on the door. Clearing his throat, Adam called out, "Come in."
The door opened to reveal Allen with a familiar golden golem sitting on his shoulder. Immediately, the golem shot off Allen's shouted to slam into Enya's chest. Enya grinned brightly as she hugged the golem close, "Timcanpy. I've missed you dearly."
Timcanpy nuzzled her lightly as Allen let out a soft laugh, "I knew that this would happen."
Enya looked up at her brother and asked, "How is everyone?"
"Relieved to know your alive for the most part," Allen walked into the room, "I think only Kanda and Cross aren't though I could be wrong,"
"The red haired bastard is still alive?" Enya stared at her brother as if he'd just spoken in a completely alien language and his head had detached itself from his body, "What in the name of Inari possessed the one in charge of reincarnation that it was a good idea to do that?!"
"Don't know, but he's alive regardless," Allen looked at Adam, "They're setting things up so that those still in the Hogwarts age range can transfer over,"
"Good," Adam turned to Enya, "We'll continue our discussion later. I need to make some calls, but I should have some kind of solution soon. Why don't you have Allen show you more of the manor?"
Enya slowly stood up as Allen agreed.
Allen looked at Enya in concern as she lightly ran her fingers over Timcanpy's head in a distracted manner. Frowning, Allen asked, "Is everything alright, Enya?"
Enya shook her head and offered him an apologetic smile, "Sorry. What did you say?"
"I asked if everything was alright," Allen looked her over carefully, "Did something happen during your visit to the Healers?"
Enya grimaced making Allen's frown worsen. Of course, they had all known that Enya would have problems because of her relatives treatment not to mention the things she'd been through the magical world. Enya sighed deeply and gave of an air of tiredness, "Allen, it's nothing you need to worry about right now. Adam will inform everyone soon enough. For now, I just don't want to think about it."
"Did your relatives-" Allen began only for Enya to shake her head.
"It isn't because of my relatives," Enya tugged on one of her curls, "In fact, it has something to do with before I was left with my relatives," Timcanpy nuzzled her cheek as he fluttered up to her shoulder making Enya smile softly, "Let's just say it has to do with my end of the deal I made with Death and leave it at that for now,"
Allen wanted to push Enya and get the information, but refrained from doing so. He could see just how tired she was which could only be a byproduct of her memories returning, her powers settling, and the fact she hadn't done anything really relaxing since her first night with them. So instead of pressing for the information he really wanted, Allen suggested, "How about I show you to the game room?"
The sound of thunder booming echoed through the air making Enya jerk slightly. She grimaced darkly as Daisya asked, "Are you alright, Spark?"
"I really hate places like this," Enya told the jester-like exorcist as they continued moving through the debilitated church, "Why am I always put on missions like this?"
"Your luck sucks," Daisya looked at her for a few moments before offering, "If you want, I can finish up this hall while you go patrol outside,"
Enya thought about it before shaking her head, "No. With the amount of Akuma we had to deal with on our way here, I don't want to chance any more surprising us."
"Ya sure?" Daisya asked making Enya roll her eyes only to jump as a loud thump sounded ahead of them.
Enya and Daisya looked at each other before carefully making their way towards the source of the sound. Each got their innocence ready with Enya carefully creating a ball of fire that lit up the hallway in a warm glow. As soon as they reached the source, they both stopped moving with horrified looks on their faces. Enya covered her mouth as bile rose up in her throat at the sight of the mutilated corpse of a child. Daisya let out a low sounding snarl. They both heard a low rasping cough and jerked towards the source. A haggard looking man with a wild look in his eyes stared at them with blood coating his body. He stared at them as he mumbled, "I didn't mean to kill her. She just wouldn't stop crying."
"D-Daisya," Enya's head began to hurt as she felt the man's emotions, "We need to be careful. His emotional wave length isn't stable. It keeps jumping all over the place,"
The man's eyes snapped to Enya and he let out an enraged shout, "You! Your the one that did this! You kill-"
Enya shot up with a gasping breath and looked around wildly as her heart beat frantically in her chest. A voice murmured soothing things into her ear though she couldn't really understand them. She just understood the emotions the person was giving off and the fact they wouldn't hurt her. A low whine erupted from her throat as she thought of what she'd just remembered. The soothing murmur continued as a hand rubbed her back and a warm arm was wrapped around her waist. Soon, she began to calm down and remember where she was as her eyes closed. Allen had showed her into the game room where Nea had been playing some game on the large T.V set. Allen and Nea began to play together while Enya simply watched because she'd opted out of playing due to not having played any video games before. In the end, Enya had fallen asleep in one of the large armchairs. Opening her eyes once more, Enya found herself surrounded by wisps of fire that kept her worried family away. Tyki's voice sounded in her ear, "Are you alright now, Enya?"
Enya swallowed and dismissed the fire, "Y-yeah. Sorry."
"It's fine, Little one," Adam assured her while everyone slowly approached, "What did you dream of?"
Enya thought about it and a shudder ran through her. Tyki tightened his grip on her while Wisley shook his head, "That was a shitty memory."
Enya looked at Wisley and asked, "C-can you...?"
"Yeah," Wisley offered her a reassuring smile before suggesting to Tyki, "Tyki, you should take her up to her room,"
"Right," Tyki released her and got up before picking Enya up in a bridal carry.
Normally, Enya would have been slightly mortified by the act, but due to her dream, Enya just buried her face in Tyki's neck as she tried to stop trembling. The mission had led to Enya killing someone for the first time since Cross had sent her to the order. It was also one of the last missions she went on with Daisya before he'd been killed. Daisya had been a steadfast friend of hers that she'd grown to care deeply for just like Lavi. It wasn't quite sibling love, but it was close. He'd been her best friend. A shudder ran through her at the memory of finding out he'd been killed. She let out a low whine as Tyki set her on the soft bed in her room. He pulled her into his lap and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Daisya..." Enya's eyes stung as tears ran down her cheeks, "I remembered one of the last missions I went on with him,"
Tyki rubbed her back while telling her, "Daisya was among the group of exorcists to be reborn."
Enya felt a bit of joy at the thought of seeing one of her best friends was alive, but it died as she remembered the man she'd killed. She murmured softly, "I...I killed someone on that mission."
Tyki froze before gently pushing her away in order to look at her, "What do you mean?"
"A-a man was in the church we'd been sent to investigate," Enya explained, "It was an abandoned one that was really creepy," Tyki chuckled softly knowing that Enya had a fierce dislike of places like that, "We were almost finished searching the church for Innocence when we heard something falling to the ground. We immediatly moved towards it as we believed that an akuma might've been there," Enya took a shaky deep breath, "When we arrived at the source, we found the mutilated body of a c-" Bile rose in her throat and she swallowed heavily, "A child. A man covered in blood with a knife stood close by. He...I got a headache from his emotional wave length since it was all over the place and practically screamed at me," Enya shuddered as she remembered the look on the man's face, "He attempted to kill me and I...I just reacted like I did back when I traveled with Cross and people attempted to hurt Allen and I," She swallowed heavily, "He fell out of the third story window, but didn't die upon impact. He ended up dying after suffocating on his own blood,"
Tyki pulled her close and murmured, "It's alright, Minha raposa. You did what you had to do back then."
"I know that," Enya buried her face in his neck, "But I didn't want to dream of that mission. I don't want to remember it even if Daisya was my mission partner,"
"Memories suck sometimes," Tyki muttered softly.
"Very true," Enya let out a watery laugh before yawning softly.
Tyki chuckled before maneuvering them to lay down together after kicking off his shoes. Enya did the same and curled up against him as he suggested, "Let's take a nap, we have an hour before dinner."
"M'kay," Enya yawned again before closing her eyes.
Within seconds, Enya was dead to the world.
