Poisonous Demon

Hiya, um... I'm not late... I thought I was going to be.

Keta.

Allen's mother in her majestic grace looks down at Link and Kanda with great kindness. "Thank you for helping my son."

"N-no problem," Link says, looking over at the whitette who's playing with a silver sort-of-version of Timcampy. Maylira, Allen's starsprite, what becomes of a shooting star once it's caught, has a long tail and feathery wings like Tim, but instead of a cross, the symbol of the stars, she carries a moon crest, showing that it was Luna who extended her great hand to catch the feisty star. Floating above her horns is a halo, false advertisement to anyone who isn't her master.

"Miss Luna," Kanda says, averting his eyes from the boy he's fought with for so long. "If I may ask, why did you allow Allen to stay on Earth and get hurt?"

Her face grows sad. "My sister... she is vile... Only a demon such as her would try to destroy humanity, even if it does pollute and harm the land we've loved and known for so long. She only cares for the plants; animals hold nothing good to her. So she spoils the gifts that she got from parents who wanted nothing to do with their children. She makes the Noahs do something that they don't really want to. That got Neah killed..." Her own silver pools move to her child who's cuddling with bigger versions of Timcampy and Maylira. "That's why I gave the humans what you refer to as innocence to protect themselves... I never intended for Allen to get caught up in this mess, but..."

"But he has innocence," Link finishes.

"Yes. He was born with it... I never knew that that could ever happen, but it did. And because of it, his life has been one big nightmare after another ever since Mana died."

On the other side of the room, Allen closes his eyes, hoping that whatever wants to come out of his mouth will be quiet.

"Everything is engulfed by snow, as everything melts into silence and grief.

When I hold up my hand,

The fragile snow melts upon my palm and dissolves to nothing."

Luna looks up and smiles. "You boys are in for a treat. Allen doesn't sing very often, especially not Soundless Voice."

Snow piles up like sand, once you gather, it all in one single piece.

"Is my voice clear to you now?"

If I were to speak, you would no longer be able to hear me.

You can tell me your lonely, you can tell me your aching.

I'll try to find a way, to cure your pain.

I beg you to not leave me, please don't ever betray me, I don't want to be alone, like once before.

Even if we're apart right now, can our souls become one?"

"Why is he singing something so sad?" Kanda asks.

"Because, it's something that he can relate to. Although he doesn't look like it, Allen's really a hundred and fifteen. It scares me how much he's grown in his seven years on Earth. It reminds me that he could die one day..."

As snow falls down, you slowly wither away in this world.

If it's even possible, Can I hear your voice one more time?

One more time, One more time~

Please hear me out.

"Is there anyway to keep him alive?"

"Every ten years, he has to return to my home or he'll won't be able to regain those years that he aged... The same can be said about you two if you wish to stay with him."

"I'd like that," the ex-inspector says, keeping his eyes glued to the only person he's ever loved.

"Me too..." Kanda adds.

If it's possible to God, to take my voice and give it to her, I would prefer to feel soundless than emptiness. Even if I am to be left alone in this cold, icy world, it'll be right.

"Who's he singing about?" Link asks.

"Me... He prays that I'll come to Earth..."

Please once more, once more again

Together with you.

"I love you" is so hard to even say for that there's no love in this world, without you it's like nothing is ever warm. No matter how much or how many times I scream, you won't ever come to me.

Ahhhhh!

"He missed you, didn't he?" the blond murmurs.

"He misses me, every time he leaves."

I beg you snow showers, keep on falling on the both of us right now. It's too pitiful to move on as we grow apart. Even if we one another we can walk our path forever.

"But it's not just about me anymore. He loves you both very much... I can hear it in his voice."

I'll disappear.

The Sun stares down coldly at her disobedient children, golden eyes cold and evil. "How dare you disobey me, Adam!"

The eldest meets her eyes without flinching, defiance in his own. "Because of you, Allen got hurt! If you weren't such a demonic bitch, everything would be fine! You've brought the Moon's wrath down upon yourself!"

She cackles, knocking Adam to the floor with her power alone. "I don't care what my sister does. Tomorrow, whether you like it or not, you are going to end the Black Order. And maybe, I'll let Neah leave my side."

At those words, the Millennium Earl's eyes flicker over to the bound teenager with a gag in his mouth, Neah Walker. "Yes, mother."
