Great Escape

The intrusion had most certainly roused the curiosity of the manor, even as Guy hurriedly rushed Luke and Asch to his room.

"There is no way we can cross the courtyard without them noticing…" It was one of those times when Guy cursed Asch from living in a building separate from the rest.

Luke was still unconscious from whatever transpired between him and Lorelei, the details were sketchy and Guy was sure that not even Ion really understood what he was saying. There was the chance that what Ion knew was wrong though…

"So Van is a bad guy huh? Who is he?" Luke stirred, but even his anchor Asch didn't fully bring him back.

"He is the man that commanded Lorelei to destroy those millions of people." Guy tucked a stray hair out of Asch's face, before unloading Luke from his back.

"Does he want to hurt Luke? Or us?" Asch's voice was shrill with his innocence, but also adept at keeping secrets. Young children have both big mouths and tight-lips, whatever really suits their desires at the moment.

"I think Luke is safe for now, from Van at least, Lorelei can defend him, but I'm not so sure about your father." Asch gasped in surprise, but Guy quickly hushed him.

"He isn't going to want Luke around anymore after all the commotion he caused, defiantly not since word is spreading like wildfire that he was child involved in the Malkuth murders." Guy shuddered at the thought, that the little boy who only wanted to make him happy had been the cause of his family's destruction.

"Can we hide him?" Asch watched with hopeful eyes that Luke wouldn't have to leave, not yet! It wasn't his fault he couldn't help but wonder about his past, and now that his past has answered him, he was being chased!

"I think me and Luke are going to have to leave for awhile Asch… I'm sorry…"

Asch's eyes widened in disbelief, ignoring Guy's protests and rolling Luke over onto his stomach.

"Lorelei? I know you are in there! Before I gave you my name… You told me something… You told me you would never leave me, right? That I would be the key… You told me you would stay forever as long as I was happy!" Asch was gently shaking Luke's shoulders; occasionally Luke's hand would twitch in response to his twin's attempts.

"Hey Asch, he isn't gonna wake up for awhile, him and Lorelei are the same person, he is probably still piecing together his old personality." Guy placed his hand on Asch's shoulder, and shook his head.

Asch continued to ignore Guy's words, hoping that maybe inside of Luke's still form, Lorelei could hear him, and he would give Luke back.

"I won't be happy if Luke has to go away, Luke only wants me to be happy, he wants it more then his own happiness, and if Guy has to take him away, I'll lose them both… Lorelei… Please do something!" Asch's vision was beginning to blur, the tears were stinging, but it wasn't as bad as the ache that threatened to rip apart his happiness.

"Asch… It's the only way to keep him safe… Van can easily come here and grab him, I have to get him somewhere safe, The Order won't help us if Luke is disowned." Guy pulled the small redhead close, the child he had grown to recognize as a younger brother in the times of his stay.

Though their time together was brief, Luke had created bonds between his family members stronger then they had before his arrival, and now they were all going to be torn apart.

Guy tensed up, hearing the voice of the Duke as it approached his room.

"I'm going to definitely speak with the boy about the unspeakable acts he is being accused of… I will not tolerate that in my house!"

A white knight barked out a reply, his voice as gruff as the Duke's.

"I'm sorry Asch…" Guy mumbled, pulling the noble into a tight hug. Asch tried to sniff away his tears, but if Father discovered them here, in Guy's room, and after the rumor that Luke is the murderer, Luke and Guy would be gone, possibly even punished for keeping the secrets they held.

Luke stirred from the commotion outside, his body flinched with the realization that his family was in danger.

'I desire my family's safety Lorelei; it is my will to protect them.'

Luke's eyes snapped open, the power to defend Guy and Asch suddenly flowing through his body.

Guy and Asch gasped when a red flame appeared on the ground near Luke's feet, as he helped himself up off the ground.

'Only one fonon can cross, Earth will have to do.'

'Thank you… Lorelei…'

"Let's get out of here, okay?" Luke offered both of his hands to his quivering family, as the heavy footsteps of the guards became louder.

"Are you… Luke?" Asch glanced up nervously at the hand he was offered.

"Of course I am! We can talk about what happened when we are safe, okay?" Luke extended his arm further, glancing at Guy for some nod of forgiveness for what he had done.

Guy tossed aside his painful memories and grabbed Luke's hand, and in turned glimpsed over to Asch, hoping that maybe he would do the same.

"This is the real you! I knew you would come!" Luke glanced behind him, reinforcing Guy's door with a spark from the red fire surrounding his feet.

"You gave me your name Asch… Of course I would come back! Because I knew you Asch, if only in your dreams… Me and Lorelei were able to survive, and finally unite." Luke's smile widened, even though the eminent danger of being discovered still loomed over all three of the children's heads.

"Let's go then, okay? Me and Guy can't stay here anymore." Asch nodded, placing his hand on top of Guy's, and the three children all smiled at one another.

"Just close your eyes, things might look a bit scary where we are going." The red flame dancing around Luke's feet flared up, engulfing the three in its red haze.

When the guards finally were able to knock down the barricades Luke had formed to protect his family, all that remained the was smirking face of the Impostor as his body sunk into the wood floorboards, with the noble and his caretaker pulled in close.

Asch took a deep breathe when Luke told him it was okay to open his eyes. Glancing around him, he noticed that they weren't in the manor any longer.

"Where are we?" Guy questioned, glancing around the area Luke had picked to emerge them from the safety of the earth.

"Safe."

Luke's answer was short, and it was obvious that the small boy was suffering from the extensive use of his newly obtained power.

'With only the earth fonim, we can't unlock Asch's gift… We can't fight with only earth… Try and unseal the other six, okay?' Lorelei's voice faded away, taking with him the light in Luke's vision.

'I'm so weak now… How far did you take us?' Luke scrunched up his eyes, trying to feign off his own dizziness, but Guy and Asch knew him better then he gave them credit for.

"I left a note for mom, from both of us… I couldn't do much else with all of the seals still in place." Luke moaned, reaching up to grip his head. The red flame that had been circling his feet ever since his awakening in Guy's room started to sputter, which only added to the concern Guy and Asch were sending his way.

"There should… Be a town near here…" Luke wished his vision would stop swirling, but he couldn't have everything he wanted, not yet at least.

"To the… East…" Luke couldn't take it anymore. He closed his eyes to stop the whirlpool his vision had become, but was instead greeted with the ground harshly catching his limp body.

The red flame went out, but Guy and Asch had other problems on their hands.

The figure that had been observing the trio smile in satisfaction, before turning towards Daath, quite a bit of information was stirring in her head, just waiting to be revealed.

"But Yulia… I've heard that…" The CEO silenced the rare intrusion into her office. The woman before her, and her friend Jade were the only two stealthy enough to successfully enter Yulia's office, but this time… Yulia planned to have this new arrival escort her from her prison.

"It doesn't matter what you have heard… No doubt the information came from Mohs?" Yulia spat out the advisor's name, before locking eyes with the young girl in front of her.

"He is my superior though, I haven't had been able to contact you since Ion's creation! What was I to believe Aunt Yulia?" The young girl huffed, before turning her face away defiantly.

"Tear, I took you into the Order because when you went to return home, there wasn't a home there. I didn't do it because I knew you had inherited the family hymns as I had, but because I knew you had no one else. I may not be a good stand in, but you have to believe me that I'm slowly dying as they keep me in here Tear…" Yulia held her head in her hands, the picture of her deceased brother, the proof that her family really had been destroyed, even before the murders.

"Do you know who commissioned the weapon? I saw the sacred flame not far from here, in Malkuth territory though. I thought he was living in a noble's home?" Tear, in all her youthful teenage glory, was a spy working for Yulia, although she was still under Moh's command, she reported to Yulia the truth, while Moh's may only get a whiff of what truly transpired.

"I'm positive that you don't want to know Tear." Yulia huffed. He looks a lot like you, only that innocence has long since been washed away…

"We were all innocent once." Tear stated, locking eyes with her aunt. It was Van's motto, back when they all lived together on Hod. Yulia nodded her head sadly, but Tear showed no surprise.

"I'll kill him. I'll kill my brother then." Tear remained stoic, facing her silent aunt with righteous anger. "He took away the only home we have ever known, he doesn't deserve to live, after killing all those people."

Yulia agreed, glancing at the portrait of her and Ion, back when Jade was innocent, when she was innocent, even when Tear was innocent… and when she had a home.
