- A Familiar Face -

/ Suman Dark deteriorated as black butterflies burst forth from his body. Those butterflies…Raven gasped in horrified recognition.

"Too late. Bye-bye Suman." /

The exorcists froze.

"Suman…?"

Blood splattered across the spot where Suman once laid. Both exorcists slowly turned back.

"No-Noah," Allen stated, eyes wide with horror.

Raven couldn't speak. Gray skin. Golden eyes. A set of crosses, or stigmata rather. A Noah. But he also saw a face as familiar as his own, with a mole to match. If Raven didn't have sun-kissed skin, he could pass as the Noah's younger self.

Then weight of the night crashed down on him. Raven fell to his knees.

"Poor, little exorcist. Did you use up all your energy fighting Suman? Too bad. You're too exhausted now."

Tyki Mikk walked over to the winged exorcist. He glanced down at his enemy. And froze. The exorcist's face could belong to his younger self. The hair was longer and tied up and some of it was white, but he still looked remarkably like himself and Sheril. Perhaps a bit more delicate, and the eyes more angled, but Raven Walker had the unmistakable features of his family. Paired with the pendant he found shortly after meeting the shounen, and what he finally remembered for why the description of the little exorcist sounded so familiar…

"Hmm, aren't you an interesting one, little raven," mumbled Tyki. He mentally directed several of his Teez to settle on Raven Walker before turning to the rest.

"Teez, come."

The remaining golems surged forward. In two groups, they disappeared into Tyki's hands.

"My, my. Perhaps you've gotten bigger now." A much larger butterfly with a skull in the center and striped wings emerged from each hand. He kissed one affectionately.

"You…!? What did you do to Suman?! What are you going to do with Raven?!" Raven eyed the Noah warily. The gentleman looked over to Allen. The Noah was…shocked?

"Wha…?! You're Cheating Boy A?" Raven sweat dropped. Allen was definitely confused.

"Considering I'm here, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to think one of my traveling companions would be here, mister disreputable gambler," corrected Raven. "Are you here to finish the job? Suman's Innocence is right over there, and you have two weary exorcists at your mercy."

Well, Raven had to admit lack of sleep or energy tended to bring out his less than tactful side.

"I am not going to simply let you do that." Raven's wings fluttered, but the black and purple butterflies suddenly dove for him. Raven let slip a hiss as they bit at exposed skin.

Tyki chuckled. "You should be more careful. I don't want you to move, so please don't unless you want the Teez to take more bites out of you. Don't worry, though, I won't kill you, especially since I finally know where I've recognized you from."

Allen was really lost. "Why are acting this way? Do you know Raven?"

"Perhaps," smirked Tyki. He grabbed Raven's left hand. "Just as I thought. Blackbirds by your eyes and purple pentacle scarring the palms. Paired with your eyes and hair…you must be Nocturne."

"Pardon?! How could you know my name?" Raven bristled the moment the Noah said his birth name, the name he hadn't heard since his mother's death.

"Hmm. I haven't introduce myself, have I? I'm Tyki Mikk. You're given name nowadays is Raven Walker. And you called the shounen brother. Could it be that his name is Allen Walker?" asked Tyki as he leaned in close to Allen.

Big mistake. Allen swung his left arm, slapping Tyki.

"Damn you, will you listen! What did you do to Suman? Why kill him? What do you want with Raven? ANSWER ME!"

"I want some answers, too. And why are you so nonchalant when you have two exorcist before you. You should be trying to kill us."

"Haha…I probably should take better care. Your arm is made of Innocence like Nocturne's wings. What do I want with Nocturne? You see, the little raven here is one of my jobs. The Earl wants him alive for some reason. As for Suman…he is my enemy, so why shouldn't I kill him?"

"The Earl will have Raven over my dead body!" retorted Allen. Raven nodded in agreement, wincing as some of the Teez nipped. Tyki only smirked.

He took a seat in the leaf litter and pulled out a cigarette to light. "Hope you don't mind if I smoke. Neither of you seemed too concerned with your own safety, nor can you hope to escape right now – not that I had any intention of letting any of you leave. Why don't I take the time to tell you a bit about my powers, as a reward for your bravery, exorcists?"

Raven hardly had any choice here. One of the Teez fluttered dangerously near his neck and the others perched on his arms and legs. His own wings felt like lead. Tyki lit the cigarette. Raven scrunched his nose in distaste.

He listened as the Noah described how his Teez were cannibal golems designed by the Millennium Earl. The Teez bred and multiplied by eating humans – which explained why Tyki put some in Suman. Raven narrowed his eyes.

"That's not your ability," he stated bluntly.

"Oh? How can you tell?" inquired an intrigued Tyki. Bright yellow eyes met rippled amber eyes.

"Those Teez aren't gone, are they? I can see their energy, like an endless mass of fluttering purple lights within you."

Tyki chortled, "Clever little raven. No wonder the Earl wants you. You do have very interesting eyes. Now, about my ability…"

Tyki leaned over and thrust his hand through Allen's body. Raven gasped. Tyki Mikk ignored it, and continued on. He smiled gleefully as he described how he could touch only what he wanted to touch, even Allen's living heart. It was becoming painfully obvious who had killed those exorcists some days ago. Tyki confirmed it, too. Instead of fear, Allen stared resolutely ahead.

"…Not even a bit scared, are you? Aww, you've ruined my fun." Tyki got up and waved his white gloved hands. "Hmph. Fine, I won't rip out your heart. One, I rather not make it any harder to get Nocturne there to cooperate with me as it is. Two, my gloves would get all dirty if I did – that's why I usually use the Teez to eat 'em instead."

"Tyki Mikk, what makes you think you can make me do anything?" challenged the defiant thirteen-year-old in the face of impossible odds.

"Not now, little raven. I'm a bit busy. As you see, Suman helped me, so I made him into a nursery for the Teez. Now, I have few more."

Raven blinked in confusion as the Portuguese man drew out a pair of cards.

"Too bad, shounen. You know, I wanted to play another round of cards with you, and maybe with Nocturne, as well, if we all met in my white form. Unfortunately, we had to meet while I'm in my black form. I'm working on a couple of jobs, you see. I've been wandering about killing people connected to a certain someone. Speaking of which…" Tyki's smile had a sinister edge to it now, "are you Allen Walker, shounen?"

The card Tyki Mikk took out confirmed Allen's identity. Without preamble, the Noah severed Allen's arm. Raven ignored the pain of the Teez and his own body's weariness and sent a volley of razor sharp feathers at the man attacking his foster brother. But, Tyki Mikk had disappeared.

Raven had no time to react. Tyki was suddenly behind him, gloved hand wrapped around his wings. The same purple light from earlier arced into his Innocence. He screamed in utter agony as white-hot pain seared through his body. He fell to his hands and knees. And still Tyki sent jolt after jolt of energy until Raven released his Innocence and fell limply to the ground, diminished wings twitching.

Raven could only watched in horror as Tyki Mikk destroyed Allen's left arm. His stupidly noble brother sent Timcanpy away with Suman's Innocence as his last act of bravery. Instead of approaching the older Walker, Tyki Mikk knelt by Raven.

"My, my, that looked like it hurt. Sorry, little raven, but I can't have you trying to interfere." The Noah stroked his hair gently back from his face.

"Why are you acting like this?" Raven rasped through sore lungs. "You haven't really answered our questions. How did you know my name?"

Tyki Mikk's face went solemn. "I'm not surprise if your mother never told you about us. Your full original name is Nocturne Sage, correct? I knew your mother since childhood. I suspect you don't know your mother's maiden name, though. It's Aurora. Aurora Kamelot."

Aurora KAMELOT?! As in Road KAMELOT?! "What?" replied Raven with a strangled gasp.

"What do you mean by that?" questioned Allen.

The Noah grinned. "Why, what do I mean? I think I'll leave it for you to think about for now, shounen. Now, about those jobs of mine…"

The hand Tyki Mikk had threaded through his hair tightened.

"You should sleep now, little raven, while I deal with your older brother. You probably wouldn't want to watch this."

A single pulse of dark matter energy zipped through him, but it was more than enough. His body felt too heavy; his vision flickered in and out of focus; and his continuous headaches got worse. The last thing the exorcist saw was Tyki's sadistic leer and his dark halo of purple.

- Nocturne Sage -

*Splash* "...disappear…" "…did you just say?!"

Raven slowly blinked his eye open to witness a rather…unexpected sight. Tyki Mikk had a koi fish squirming in his hands, a skeleton of another in his mouth, and more fish skeletons to the side of him. Floating above him was the card from earlier. He must have groaned or something because the Noah was suddenly leaning over him.

"You okay there, little raven?"

…

"Are you angry at me?"

"…You zapped me into unconsciousness," deadpanned the exorcist. "Should I feel otherwise inclined?"

Tyki grinned without apology. "Heh, I did. Well, it's not like you would let me disable your Innocence. You're almost at a general's level. Even if dealing with Suman wiped you out, you're still a tough opponent. Better safe than sorry. Oh, don't try activating your Innocence either. The dark matter bands around your wings will stop it."

Raven was the in process of doing that and barely suppressed a wince as a shock greeted his efforts. Then he remembered…

"What did you do to my older brother?!"

"What? The shounen? I'm hurt you care about him more than me."

Tyki's gave a Noah smile in return for the glare the younger man shot at him.

"Okay, okay. Sheesh. Impatient are you, little raven? Well, as the shounen was on my "to kill" list like I thought, I put a hole in his heart," explained Tyki.

"He's alive," moaned the floating card's prisoner. "He's alive!"

Tyki reached over with the koi fish and smacked it. "Just scrub harder! Oh, curious about this little fellow? He's Cell Roron, the keeper of the list cage."

Cell Roron looked absolutely miserable. He continued to deny Allen's death…Wait a minute… "Allen's still alive?!"

"Not you, too!" groaned Tyki. "First him, now you. I put a HOLE in his heart. He wouldn't survive that."

"I survived having a something speared through my heart due to my Innocence. I think Allen's Innocence may be capable of more than you think." Tyki's face turned contemplative as he processed what Raven just said.

"…Err, when did someone spear you in the chest?"

Raven's face darkened while a tide of memories clouded his eyes. "The night of my mother's death. Some akumas waged an attack on our home village, probably attracted by the faint pulse of Innocence I gave off more strongly that night. One of them shot a spike appendage from behind. The again, it was probably lured there by my Innocence activating shortly beforehand when the level 1s tried to shoot me."

Tyki grimaced. "You didn't try to…?"

"No, I didn't try to resurrect her. I may have been grief-stricken and three, but my mother had always taught me to respect the wishes of the living and the right of the dead. Maybe if it happened suddenly, but she had been sick for a while now. I knew she was in a better place with father. As a Noah, I'm surprise you didn't know how she died. Especially since you claim to know her."

Tyki Mikk winced at the last statement.

"You really are a strange child," commented Tyki Mikk, trying to change lift the depressing mood. The Noah smiled as he thought on the kid's last remark. The child was so much like his sweet and kind Aurora.

After another moment of silence, Raven finally asked the question he wanted to ask before he was knocked unconscious. "How do you know my mother? Why does she have the same last name as Road?"

Tyki Mikk smiled gently. "How do I know your mother? As I said before I knew her since childhood. Or, rather she knew me since childhood. Aurora Kamelot, younger sister to Sheril Kamelot, and my older half-sister. Making you, my dear Nocturne, my nephew."

Shock did not begin to describe what he felt. But it did explain a lot of things, like his eerie resemblance to the Noah in front of him, and the Noah's uncharacteristic flights of kindness.

"And I know who you are since my brother and I were informed of her death, and your disappearance from the area."

The Noah let the young man think in silence for a bit until certain people came barging in on the two.

"Well, well, what do we have here? A fine gentleman like yourself shouldn't be eating the koi from someone else's pond," taunted an approaching dark haired teen while waving a golden gun. Another teen with blonde hair and a matching gun strolled next to him. Both bore the gray skin, gold eyes, and stigmata of a Noah.

Raven started. What, more crazy Noahs? He chose to address the most superficial question. "You were eating the koi fish?"

"Hmm? Did you want some, Nocturne?" Raven's look of disgust was his only answer to that. Tyki shrugged.

"From the looks of it, you could do with some more protein, little raven."

"Please, do not address me as "little raven". You can call me Nocturne or Raven, but I am not that short. I'm thirteen and still growing!"

"Who's the squirt?" The dark haired teen asked with his pistol pointed at Raven's forehead. "He has yellow eyes and kind of looks like you actually… Could Tyki have an illegitimate child?"

Tyki Mikk and Raven sputtered in indignation. "Excuse me?!" "How old do I look to you freaks?!"

The teens laughed hysterically until the dark haired one finally noticed the silver Rose Cross on Raven's ragged vest.

"Why are you with a stinking exorcist?!" The gun was back at Raven's forehead. Tyki shot the two a dark look.

"Nocturne, these are the twins. Twins, this is mine and Sheril's nephew Nocturne Sage, a.k.a. Raven Walker, and my prisoner by order of the Earl. Meaning, don't touch him."

"Wait, there's more of your family aside from your crazy brother? And he's an exorcist?! Why would the Earl want this guy?"

"Yeah, yeah, hi!"

The twins narrowed their eyes dangerously at the now identified Raven even as they grinned.

"I'm Devit."

"And I'm Jasdero."

"Together, we're Jasdevi!"

Raven was not impressed. "Tyki, if these guys are shining examples of the Noah Family, I think I would be worried about your side than mine."

"What was that, brat?!" warned Devit.

Raven smirked. "At least I know how to dress! I swear, one of you is going commando and the other looks like a girl!"

After Tyki separated the twins and the surprisingly hand-combat capable Raven…

"Who is that behind you, by the way?" inquired Raven lightly, one hand holding his ever pained head.

Jasdero and Devit looked over from their sulk to the exorcist. "What do you- HOLY SHIT, WHAT'S WITH YOUR EYES?!"

Tyki looked over from where he fished. "Hmm, they look a bit different than before, I think. Nocturne, your eyes seemed to have changed. You had white crosses in your eyes before but now the sclera has turned black and your irises have split into two rings."

Raven leaned over the pond's edge to confirm it. Both his eyes looked like what Tyki had described. What is wrong with my eyes? Could it be that they evolved like Allen's cursed eye?

"Hey, the Earl and Road said a winged exorcist had the power to see supernatural energies? So what weird thing does the exorcist see around Jasdevi?"

"Ummm…" Raven balked at the sadistic smiles the Noahs sported. "I see an afterimage, kind of, of your shadows merged and a person standing right where they come together. The person is hazy, but he looks similar to the two of you, older with long blonde and black hair."

"Interesting," hummed Tyki in contemplation. "You can see the twins' true form."

The twins eventually lost interest in Raven after the exorcist went silent, lost in his own thoughts. Raven dimly registered them bickering about something. A particular name spurred him from his contemplations.

"You guys are after master?!" Raven sweat dropped at how the twins were getting into Tyki's face and threatening him until idiotic him had to interrupt.

"Master?"

All three Noahs turned to the exorcist. Raven smiled weakly.

[Later]

Two of the Noahs and Raven sat in the rickshaw while Jasdero pulled it.

"So, you're a student of the bastard we're trying to kill?!" interrogated Devit.

"Yes, we already established that. You're probably not going to kill him any time soon."

"Ah, so the twins are assigned to kill one of the generals, who happened to be your master. Is he any good?" nonchalantly asked Tyki.

Raven paled in memory of his horrible demon of a master.

"Good? Master Cross is many things: a drunkard, a womanizer, a regular runner from debts, and a bum, but he is also an exorcist whose skills and knowledge is said to exceed all others. And he's a real demon. As his apprentices, my foster brother and I were forced to shoulder all his debts. Allen and I learned poker just to survive his collectors and for food and shelter. As for training…he's the same guy who knocked us unconscious with a hammer because he refused to return to headquarters. You're not dead, so he's probably just playing around with the two of you. That's good he is."

…

"I'LL KILL YOU!"

Devit attempted to strangle the exorcist, but luckily, Tyki sat between the two.

"Quit, deliberately provoking them!" yelled Tyki as he pushed Devit off his lap. He emphasized his point by cuffing Raven on the back of his head. "Such a troublesome nephew. You're nearly as bad as Road - who's your cousin, legally, not by blood, just so you know."

Raven chose not to think too much on this new piece of information.

"You know, for an exorcist surrounded by Noah, you're unusually calm," commented Tyki.

Raven had no response. His instincts should be screaming, but he only felt pain from his headaches. Jasdero decided to return the conversation back to issue with master after a period of silence.

"You know the winged dude has a point. We failed to kill Cross three times already," he admitted.

"But Tyki also failed to kill someone," countered Devit after straightening his leather jacket. "What his face? Allen?"

Aaaand, Tyki looked ticked off. Again.

"Shut it. Don't you say anything, either, Nocturne."

"Oi, where are we supposed to be going anyway?" chirped Jasdero.

"Can I say something?"

Tyki lifted his face from his gloved hand and turned to the thirteen-year-old. "What?"

"We're about hit that guy standing in the- Oh. Too late."

Jasdero was completely oblivious to the guy's presence and rammed him. The rickshaw came to an abrupt stop.

"Umm, will that guy be okay? He has the same aura as the lot of you so…?"

"Who's this?" grunted the large new Noah. The rickshaw didn't have enough room for four people, so Raven was perched humiliating on his maternal uncle's lap.

"I'm Raven Walker," he politely greeted.

"He's an exorcist, hee hee," giggled Jasdero.

"He's a WHAT?!" bellowed the large man. Raven instinctively tried to shrink further away in the limited area.

"Nocturne, meet our lovable Sweet Tooth," interrupted Tyki. "Sweet Tooth, this is my target whom the Earl said explicitly NOT to kill."

"My name ain't Sweet Tooth. It's Skinn Boric! And why does the Earl want an exorcist alive? He could be the carrier of the heart."

"Heh, better be careful there, Sweet Tooth. Tyki doesn't like people threatening his little nephew there."

"Nephew?"

"Yes, he's Sheril and mine long lost nephew. And no, I don't feel like explaining the story right now," grumbled Tyki Mikk. They really didn't have enough space in the little rickshaw for three people, forget four.

"What's bring you here, Sweet Tooth, anyways?" asked Devit, his gun pointed at Skinn Boric's head.

Skinn aimed a dark look at the exorcist before continuing. "I've been assigned the glasses-wearing general to eliminate. He came here. Nothing more than that!"

Raven rolled his eyes. "Froi Tiedoll? I heard about him from some of the finders and scientists. He's not the most aggressive general, definitely not like the Winters Socalo, but he isn't a pushover. Yuu Kanda is his former student, and I rather not have to fight samurai-boy again."

"You know, we're all sounding like a bunch of incompetent officer workers with no one getting anything done," remarked Jasdero.

Tyki's aimed a dark look at the blonde twin. "Speak for yourself. I managed to finish one of my jobs just fine!"

"Securing a wimp like this isn't a job!"

"Want to try saying that when I pry this band off-!"

"Hee, hee, the Earl won't be happy when he hears this!" chipped in Jasdero.

- Legends from 7000 Years Ago –

"…so familiar." The blackness retreated once more.

"I've visited this place a few times, but that is how I feel whenever I come here. I wasn't even born here."

"Hmm, I get that same feeling, too," rumbled a vaguely familiar voice.

"Yeah, and this place is so gloomy, nothing like what I would like."

"Where are we?" inquired a groggy Raven. He kind of blanked out after his head erupted in pain (again) during the ride to wherever the heck he was. He woke to find Tyki carrying him.

"Oh good, you woke up."

Tyki dumped him unceremoniously on the ground. Raven scowled from where he sprawled. After a moment, he scrambled to his feet and began to trail Tyki. There were picture everywhere. Jasdero and Devit walked ahead while Skinn Boric came up on the rear.

"Thanks, I guess." Raven groused. "Again, where are we? This place gives me the creeps. And my head feels weirder here."

"This is-"

"This is Noah's Ark." sang someone standing ahead of them.

Raven unconsciously took a step back. The man was just as he remembered from a few months ago, if not those fateful years ago. A large man commonly dressed as a caricature of a British gentleman with grey skin, golden eyes beneath spectacles and pointed ears: the Earl of the Millennium.

"It is here that the Noah created the ancestors of humanity once the Great Flood abated. The original birthplace of all humans. I'm sure you heard this story before exorcist.

In verses 6- 8 of Genesis, it tells of when God tried to cleanse the world of corruption through a flood, but he spared a single human named Noah. Noah boarded the Ark to escape the punishment of God. Once the waters receded, the Ark came to a rest on the Mountains of Ararat. There, Noah received the new covenant and became the second Adam of humanity.

…Or so the open history says."

Raven tried to take another step back until he backed into Tyki.

"Little raven, are you afraid?" smirked Tyki. "Interesting thing to learn, isn't it? And now this birthplace of humanity has become just a factory for creating akuma."

"Yeah," sniggered Devit. "To think akumas and humans share the same birthplace. What a joke."

"Hee, hee, what a joke," echoed Jasdero.

"But soon we must leave this ark and say good-bye to Edo. For the final great battle, we must move onto an even greater ark." The Earl looked back the audience of four Noah and one exorcist. "By the way, why are you here slacking off? You have jobs to do!"

"But, Earl, I did complete one of them," defended Tyki.

Tyki, the traitor, pushed the younger man forward. The Earl of the Millennium's large grin only widened.

"Hmm, how interesting! You look just like Tyki-pon!"

"Tyki-PET?" snorted Raven. Tyki wore a long-suffering look.

"PLEASE, don't call me that, Earl. And Raven Walker happens to be my late sister Aurora's child Nocturne Sage, whom Sheril and I thought lost ten years ago. It was around the time of our Awakening, so we haven't had much time to consider the matter until the trail went completely cold."

"Awww, how sweet you manage to find him after so long. He certainly could be a miniature Tyki!" exclaimed the Earl.

"Pssshh, the Earl's right, you have an adorable little double!" snickered Devit.

Raven ignored the next round of arguments as the Earl leaned in closely to the exorcist.

"Well, well, what interesting eyes you have. I haven't seen those kind of eyes for over 7000 years. And that surnames of yours sure is compelling evidence, too." The lack of energy drain told the exorcist his eyes have definitely returned back to their normal state, so what could be surprising about them? Sure, they were yellow but… Raven didn't like to think where this was going.

The four Noahs leaned in closer, intrigued by this new turn of events.

"What do you mean by that?" questioned Raven. His head felt like it was splitting…

"Haven't you suffered from head pains ever since you could remember?"

Raven refused to answer.

"I bet you have! I guess you can say it's because you're undergoing a kind of long-term Awakening."

"Awakening?" croaked the exorcist. Raven really didn't like the looks of comprehension on the Noah's faces. Especially after Tyki began to grin sadistically again.

"When a human host Awakens, their Noah gene, which all humans carry, begins to activate, signaling the integration of the Noah memory. Each Noah carries a memory. For example, Tyki-pon carries the memory of Pleasure, Jasdevi holds the memory of Bonds, Skinn has that of Wrath, and Road is of Dreams. You, however, are a bit different for you are the heir of the first sage.

7000 years ago, during the last great war, a strange human emerged. He possessed eyes of bright yellow, similar to ours but more natural, like eyes of a cat or bird. They actually shined like, too, and seemed to strip away a person's secrets with a single look. He also bore curious markings on his hands and face and incredible power. The man refused to take any side in the war, offering his knowledge and magic to each side at one time or another. This was possible because his natural magic was wrought of both dark matter and Innocence. You could say his Innocence is the predecessor to the heart of Innocence. Somehow, he had the unique qualities to merge and balance the two opposing powers. He was known as the first sage.

The first sage disappeared sometime during the Three Days of Darkness. But his magic lived on in his bloodline. Throughout the generations, a single member of his family would secretly inherit the magic and gifts of the original sage in addition to an instinctual set of knowledge, or so I was told. The first sage predicted that you alone would be an heir different from the rest. All sages had the same golden eyes yet yours alone would be visible to all. That's why I never met another one for so long. A sage's eyes and markings are normally only visible to those whom they give the right to see them as they are. Considering your mother is related to Tyki Mikk, I would hypothesize you inherited the gift from your father since the sage line only bears single heirs, so no siblings.

Then there is the first sage's prophecy:

The war shall approach its climax when a child of light and shadow graces the stage. Let him be marked as so, with blessing of knowledge and death. He will see the world stripped of light and darkness, seeing truth. Heed his words whether he chooses the world's salvation or its destruction, for nothing is ever what it seems.

The sages bear pentacled palms, and eye markings denoting their own unique gift of sight, which varies from generation to generation. Your eyes and raven markings point out that you are most likely the heir he described.

We of the Noah family named him and his successors the Noah of Will, the Zeroth Noah. After all, sages are very similar to Noah.

I bet you're a very lucky individual, aren't you? The Zeroth Noah possesses the power called "Luck of the Devil". Passively, you would have subliminal control over chance circumstances around you, such as when the ceiling fell and intervened when Road attacked you. Greater emotions will actually warp the world around you to suit your need. - the greater your resolve, the more extreme the effects! However, too much power use too soon would have detrimental effects on you. Which is why it's good we found you before you came into your full powers. Who knows what could have happened?

Awakening for the Zeroth takes a long time. You are technically born with dark matter and Innocence, but they usually lie dormant or partially active until the Awakening naturally finishes, or something pushes your powers to manifest. That's why you've had head pains for so long, and you have traces of your magical power. It will end once your powers manifest."

The Earl's unnaturally wide grin swallowed his face as he tittered. "Tyki-pon, I think your little nephew had enough to think about for the night. Please take him to his room, and I'll continue explaining in the morning."

The Earl told Tyki to keep an eye on his brother during his "stay" on the Ark. The stunned exorcist couldn't find it in himself to protest too much. There was simply too much going on in his head. First, he found part of his mother's surviving family. Now, he was on the verge of becoming some sort of ancient Noah sage?! And he thought Hevlaska's prophecy was bad.

Sleep did not come to the young teen until the early hours of the morning.
