You've been staying at Vongola Headquarters for quite some time now. Everyone here knows you, but rumors still spread around about your background. There are those who even avoided interaction with you. You sighed as you leaned your head against a window. "The past… is so incomprehensible. I don't get it…"
"Hey, what are you muttering about?" Your head whirled around to see the owner of that familiar voice.
"Mr. Sawada!" You ran up to him and got a pat on the head. It became part of your daily routine in the headquarters. He grinned. "Did you practice the new moves I taught you?"
You smiled. "Yes, I did! I even got to use it on Basil!"
After you awakened from your long slumber, you found yourself with a lot of free time on your hands. You decided to continue your training in martial arts with the encouragement of Iemitsu and the Ninth. Previous experience and the fact that you were a quick learner allowed you to become stronger than a lot of the members within the headquarters. Of course, you still could not surpass Iemitsu and the CEDEF.
Thinking about your thoughts earlier, you decided to question Iemitsu. "Say… Do you know anything about my past?" I could hardly remember what my mother looked like…
"No, I don't. Please stop asking me." You frowned as you heard the same answer once again. You're sure that he knows something. He looked at you wearily and gave a heavy sigh. "It may be best that you forget…"
"But my family! I want to see them… Are they even alive? Who were my parents anyway? Why did I have to be taken away from them? Why did my boss had to have me? Why are there people who still avoid me?" You continued to bombard him with questions. Finally, you broke. "Why am I… so… dangerous?" You felt wet drops touch your cheeks as you held onto your necklace, the only reminder you have of your family, and a grim reminder of your powers.
Iemitsu was at a loss for words. He stood there in silence for a few moments before he gave you a hug. "I know it's tough on you, but please… Stay strong. One day, you will find the answers you are looking for- Ah, Boss." You turned around to see the Ninth giving you a sad smile.
"I apologize for interrupting, but I will borrow [Name] for a while."
"No, no, it's alright." Iemitsu gave you a nod before leaving.
"I could not help but overhear your conversation…" The Ninth looked out of the window for a few moments before resuming. "The world you now live in is very different."
"Huh?" You gave a puzzled look.
"I was considering on whether I should tell you… It is a hard decision, but it cannot be avoided. You would learn about it sooner or later."
"About what? Please tell me."
He breathed in deeply. "It was thought to be a legend… A pure legend… Many have forgotten it, but there are those who still remember it. Your power is, in fact, a supernatural being. It can only be tamed by very few, specifically the people in your bloodline. Your family has controlled it for generations.
The entity… It will act according to the user's soul. If the user has a strong will, it can be controlled without a fuss. Otherwise, it will become corrupt and savage. It can take over its master's body."
You shivered at the last part. "Why haven't I fallen to the control of this… This being?"
"Your parents were aware that if they were to give birth to a child, it would transfer to the newborn. They created a limiter in advance." He gestured at your pendant. "Its power can be contained, but the limiter will not last forever. It has been weakened, especially when it was forcefully removed."
You remembered those times. It was excruciating. I hope that never happens again… "Um… What is this being called? I don't want to keep referring it as… It."
"Its name is Nevan."
"Nevan…" You felt a slight presence as you said its name. The Ninth looked at you as if he had felt it, too.
"Why did I have to be born with this dangerous power? If my parents knew, then… Then…"
"It is powerful, but it is not as dangerous as you think. As long as you have a strong heart, you can control its power without any repercussions. Follow what you feel is right." As if he read your mind, he continued. "Do not worry. You will be taught to harness and control its powers. Your mother possibly wanted to teach you when you are around this age…"
"Do you know my mother?" You looked at him earnestly. "Do you know how my family is doing?"
He shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry. The status of your family members cannot be confirmed. I have tried to look for them. As for your mother, no I did not know her, but I knew your grandmother and grandfather." The Ninth looked at his watch. "Well, it seems as I did enough story telling for now." He smiled. "You will learn more in the future, but this is all I can tell you right now."
