Prologue 2
General Kevin Yeegar
Days had gone on by before Damon was checked out to be okay to leave the hospital, the problem was that he had no place to go, he had no family to go to, he did not even know where he even was, making him feel like a lost little puppy in a fairy tale with the feeling of confusion and being lonely slowly entering his mind.
One of the nurses working at the hospital had volunteered to take Damon in, that is until Damon heard the voice of a familiar old man, he looked towards the direction of the voice to see the man that saved him that day where his village was destroyed, Kevin Yeegar was the man's name he remembered, Yeegar looks at him giving him a kind smile before walking over to the doctor and nurse talking to them in a whisper, in the corner of Damon's eye he could see three men standing at the door wearing beige colored cloaks with the hoods off, he jumped when he felt a hand was placed on the top of his head.
Damon looked up to see Yeegar smiling at him then began to speak "well then Damon, shall we get ready to leave?", he blinked at the man, wondering for a moment of what Yeegar was talking about until he shortly understood what he meant "you mean?" he replied, Yeegar nodded at him before replying back "as of today, you shall be under my wing, is that understood?" he stared for a moment at Yeegar before nodded as he slowly got up, Yeegar would place a hand on his back then guided him towards the group of men, he was quickly introduced to the three men, in the middle was a man called Thierry while the other two people, one being a man and the other being a woman, were called Rai and Mao, all three of them bowed to him saying hello before guiding him and Yeegar outside the hospital where a carriage was waiting.
Damon finds himself in what almost seems like a small living quarters, but it was still a carriage on the outside, inside was a small kitchen area with a dining table, he sat down at the dining table, which the seat he was on was part of a small sofa, Yeegar instead of sitting down walked over, in the sofa on the other side of the table was Thierry, Mao was sitting on the same sofa he was sitting on to his right, both of them enjoying a cup of coffee judging from the smell that was quickly filling the air, he remembered the smell since his father would always drink a cup of coffee everyday, however the thought of his father made him look down a bit where he saw his tattooed hand, seeing the strange looking head once again.
He stared at it as in he was in a trance until he heard the noise of a plate being set down in front of him seeing a plate filled with steak and some greens on the side, he looked up to see Yeegar smiling "well, before we start getting to know one another, how about we eat first?" the kid would try to say something until his rumbling stomach interrupted him, everyone in the carriage began to laugh, Yeegar sat down across from him and motioned him to eat, he hesitated a bit however his stomach was telling him to eat so he had no choice but to start chowing down on the food.
It would only take moments for the food to be gone this not being a surprised to anyone except for Damon himself, he blinked for a minute "when did I gain such a big appetite?" he asked as if he was talking to himself, Yeegar laughed a bit before replying "it is because of the Innocence that is within that right hand of yours" Yeegar takes a bit of the meat he cooked for himself and ate it while he waited for a response, he was confused wondering what Yeegar meant quickly replying "what's Innocence?"Yeegar swallowed the food he had in his mouth and kindly began to explain "Innocence is material made by an ancient civilization thousands of years ago, although we do not know all of the properties of Innocence and their abilities to this day, people who wield them like you and me, are called Accomondators, these people are the ones who are able to use the power of the Innocence due to the compatibility between it and its user".
Damon stares at Yeegar confused a bit on what Yeegar was talking about, however it took him a minute for him to nod in understanding of the explanation, Yeegar continued "you see Innocence is a power needed by the organization I am working with called the Black Order where we are commonly known as Exorcists, I am a General of the order with my duty being that I must not only find pieces of Innocence, but also find those compatible to wield them, however for your case, the Innocence had already found you before I did".
Damon stares at his hand looking straight at the tattoo, he then looks back at Yeegar beginning to talk "so, I am a Accomondator?" Yeegar nods then continues "however the job of the Exorcists is also to hunt down creatures known as Akuma, vicious machines that uses the trapped souls of the dead to power them, and release the souls from them, what happens is that when someone wishes for their dead loved one or friend to come back, their wish is granted, however their loved one's soul is then trapped into the body of a Akuma and then kills the very person who wished them back."
Damon stares at Yeegar shocked by this news thinking about what would happen if he had thought the same about his father, he clenched his hand into a fist that began to shake a bit, he then felt a hand on his right shoulder, he looks to see Mao smiling at him trying to give him support, his shaking quickly stopped, for a six year old he was able to understand this to a certain extent, he looked at Yeegar "so..you took me in because I am a Accomondator?" Yeegar shakes his head and replied to the question "no, I took you in because you had no place to go and even if you were not a Accomondator, I would probably still take you in since I felt a duty to do so to repay for what I could not due for others" Yeegar went silent, Damon just stared at Yeegar feeling as though something happened in his past however he chose not to pursue the issue.
It would only take a few minutes for Yeegar to recover from the remembrance of the past and looks at Damon "well then Damon, what do you say?" he looks at him confused "what do I say to what?" he asked the General, Yeegar smiled at him "about becoming an Exorcist? Course you will need to train under me until you are ready, but.." he thought for a moment thinking about what he has being told so far by Yeegar "me? Be an Exorcist?" he was silent for awhile until a few moments later he looked up at Yeegar, nodding "alright then, I accept the offer, Mr. Yeegar" Yeegar smiles "alright then, well then prepare yourself, because tomorrow you will begin your training" Damon nodded smiling.
It would be with that statement that the young Damon Maxwell would train under General Kevin Yeegar for ten years to become an Exorcist, with Innocence that was named by General Yeegar himself, The Demon Tattoo.
