A/N: hello again…sorry for the late update…before any of you read this chapter, there are some minor changes in chapter one…
As I had written before that Neah was like an uncle to Ellen, I had changed it into a Father-daughter relationship. In which will be easier…
I'm planning to make this story with only ten chapters in maximum... or it may be less…
It really depends….
Thank you very much…

CHAPTER 2
~Earl's POV~
I arrived at the dining room at our ark.
What I saw was chaos in human's eyes. But they are my family; they have their own quirks that can be quite cute sometimes.
When I finally seated at the head of table, everyone grew quiet.
"Hmm, so what is it that you want Earl?" asked Wisely in an amused tone. Already knowing what I will be saying.
"Well, since I have all of your attention. I believe all of you had heard of a town that my Akumas can't get into right?"
They all nodded in reply.
"What does that town got to do with us then?" asked Shirley
"Well as you know, it has been a few years since we lost our connection with our beloved Fourteenth." I stated
As all of them knew that Neah was my Blood brother, as Tyki and Sheryl were brothers.
"Are you saying that the Fourteenth is hiding in that town?" asked Road
"Maybe, as I know Neah too well, he will want to hide from us in order not to harm any of us again." I sighed Neah was too kind for his own good.
Everyone agreed with me.
In their own, remember about the Musician.
"Since I am worried about whether our missing family is there or not, led me to a decision to go there myself and see if Neah is really there or not. Besides I heard that only Akumas can't get in. I will be taking two of you in my journey to this town."
I looked at all of them, they were very eager to help bring back their missing family member.
Once my eyes landed at Tyki, I knew that he will want to come to find his other half.
Road and Sheryl had told me why Tyki-pon had been depressed.
Once I had made up my mind.
"Road and Tyki-pon should come with me." I stated and left the table to go to my office.
Once I had arrived and was about to open the door, I felt a familiar presence inside.
When I went inside, I saw a figure sitting on one of the chairs near the window.
"Hello Brother." The figure said in a very familiar voice.
"Neah?" I asked uncertainly, hoping that he really was there and not just an illusion I had created.
There were too many times that this happened. My wish that my brother was by my side again created illusions for me to be content. But I was never content.
What I want is my brother and not a mere illusion.
"It is me, brother I am not an illusion." He replied in a soft tone as if he knows that I had created illusion to cure my want in him being beside me.
"How? Where? Why?" I asked him as I sat in front of him.
He looks as the same as I had seen him 19 years ago. He looks uncannily like Tyki-pon but looks younger than him.
"You must have felt that I was being reincarnated before brother, so I won't answer your first question. As for where, I am sorry but I cannot tell you. As for the last, you know why I don't want to appear to any of you." He sighed sadly.
"I may have a hunch on where you are Neah. No matter what you may think of what was best. We will bring you back to where you belong."
He only grunted at my decision.
"Even though, my new host is very skilled, as it is you have been having difficulties finding the new Fourteenth. I treat the new one as my immediate family, Mana and I will do everything in my power to protect the current Fourteenth." He stated.
I sighed and can't help but feel nostalgic as I hear him call me by my human name.
As all of my family know, I was born as Mana Walker and became Adam, the First child of Noah, as I am the first; I am also called the Millennium Earl or simply Earl.
No one had called me Mana, except for my brother Neah.
"I miss you calling me by my name, Neah. As I have been missing our past, it was my fault, which I had foolishly thought that you were well protected, I am so sorry brother." I said while tears were running down my face.
"Mana, it was not your fault at all. I was content that I had died by your hands. I'm afraid that I have no time to spare to talk to you. I only came to say to stop pursuing the Fourteenth. Even if you went to our current location, you wouldn't be able to recognize the Fourteenth. Goodbye, brother. It was nice seeing you again and I am glad I had to see you too Road, and they must be the current Third and Fourth." Neah stated while looking at the three new comers. He waved and disappeared.
'I couldn't even say Goodbye to him.' I sighed sadly and looked at Road, Tyki and Sheryl.
"Do you need something?" I asked them.
"Well, it seems that Neah is hell bent on hiding from us, Millenie." Road said jokingly trying to lighten up my mood.
I smiled.
"Yes, he was always stubborn. Sheryl, Tyki-pon do you need something?"
"It seems that my wife has only a year left." Sheryl sadly sighed, not wanting to think of his other half suffering.
"I heard from someone that there is a healer in the town we are going into, and would like to bring the healer back here to heal Tricia." Tyki asked
"Very well, this healer sounds very interesting." I said and led Road and Tyki to one of Road's doors. We waved at Sheryl and left.
There must be a reason on why Neah suddenly appeared before me.
He must be in that little town.

~Ellen's POV~
When I felt Neah came back, I greeted him happily.
"How was your talk with your brother?" I asked him as we sat at the living room.
As a sorcerer, I can let Neah have a physical body as long as I want.
I can even make it permanent but Neah declined as he said that it wasn't time yet.
"Well, he was being stubborn about wanting me or rather the Fourteenth back. It seems that they will be coming here soon." Neah replied.
"Well, we have to prepare then." I stated and saw him nod. He decided that he will go back inside my mind for precautions.
Why do I get the feeling that I shouldn't run away? Something is making me stay here, but why?
When I asked Neah about this, he had told me that maybe my other half or destined partner was coming.
I never really believed in those stories, but I have been alone for so long, that I can't help but wait for him, whoever he is.

~Normal POV~
You can see a door appearing on one of the alley inside the town. They had changed into their human form in order not to scare the humans.
When they went out of the alley, they asked passer-by's about rumours concerning why this town was never attacked.
All of them have been hearing of a family of a skilled sorcerer and a healer. But they had died but not before the sorcerer had created a barrier to protect this town. It seems they left their teenage daughter to fend for herself.
They said that their daughter surpassed her parents in sorcery and healing arts.
It is also said that their daughter even healed that to be said was impossible to heal.
She was called the Miracle Healer.
Everyone in this town loves her.
They heard that she lives in a cottage near the forest.
As the three Noah went to their destination.
Tyki couldn't help but feeling excited.
.
.
.
~Tyki's POV~
Whenever we get nearer to the cottage of the Healer, I can't help but feel excited.
It didn't even help that my inner Noah was telling me that my other half was near.
Road asked me what was wrong so I told her that I felt that my other half was near.
Road and the Earl congratulated me.
When we got nearer, we heard children's laughter at our destination.
There we saw, a beautiful woman that couldn't be older than in her late teens.
She had beautiful long red hair.
She was so beautiful that I forgot to breath.
She was playing with the children, but stopped as she saw that we were coming.
She ushered the children to go home since it was getting dark.
After the children were gone, she greeted us with a smile that took my breath away. The Earl was nodding approval as was Road.
She welcomes us to her home. Once we were given tea, she sat down and introduced herself.
"Hello my name is Ellen Dyna and I am a healer and sorceress, what can I do for you?"
Ellen, her name is Ellen, and her voice is like an angel.
I finally found her.
"My name is Adam; we heard that you can heal any illness, even the incurable ones." The Earl asked as I was transfixed at looking at my beloved Ellen.
"I can, who is it do you want me to heal?" she asked
"My sister-in-law." I said wanting to talk to her
"Ah and you are?" she asked me curiously.
"I'm sorry for my rude behaviour Miss Ellen, my name is Tyki Mikk." I smiled at her and kissed her hand and was inwardly delighted to see a blush gracing her beautiful cheeks.
I felt a spark when I touch her hand.
'She is the one' my Noah had said
"It is nice to meet you too Lord Mikk." She said as I was in my noble form.
"Please call me Tyki, and can I call you Ellen?" I smiled as I asked her.
She nodded shyly and asked Road for her name.
"My name is Road Kamelot." Road greeted happily already liking Ellen.
"Is your Sister-in-law in town?" she asked us
We shook our heads and explained to her that Tricia is currently bedridden.
"So, we would like it if you can come with us to the Kamelot estate. My brother is the Minister so he can't come here to ask you." I informed her gently.
She looked hesitant but resolved herself and said that she can come with them to heal her.
"Why were you hesitating?" asked Road wondering why she had hesitated. Not only Road though, the Earl and I have been wondering why.
"Ah, you see ever since I was born, I had never stepped out of this town. My parents told me that it was quite dangerous for me, so I had heeded there words and never stepped out. But since I need to heal someone, it is alright." she revealed.

~Earl's POV~
I am happy with Tyki-pon, for now I only hope that we can persuade Ellen to stay with us.
I get the feeling that I shouldn't let her go.
That she belongs with us.
Could it be?
Neah did say that his current host is powerful.
Sorcerers can make their presence disappear from someone else connection.
No, maybe Neah had his Current host make a decoy, I don't know what to think.
I sighed
The feeling I get for Ellen was how I felt for Tricia, as she was one of my families chosen one, but there is something else, but I can't put my finger on it. Sigh.
I maybe analysing this too much.
