Third Person Point of View
Come to think of it, it’s not that long since Christian lived with her sister. He didn’t even realize the days or months they are all together and he can't help but think… being with his sister is so much fun
He can't get enough
Knowing that she’s strong enough to handle any danger. He can’t do anything to help her and looking at the tall man who just showed them a kind appearance the first time they’ve met- Christian felt threatened
How can he trust this man?! Who shows his smile in front of his sister but changed his attitude once she turned around?! How can he relax around him, the demon he once know as a kind mister but instantly changed his behavior?!
The little boy is confused… and angry
‘No one can be with my sister! Except for me! Only me!’
Building up his courage to stand against the demon, he heaved a sigh
“Good work” his opponent suddenly speak which made him jump “wa… what?” his clueless voice echoed through the silent landmark of the city
Looking back at the child, Nathan stop walking to talk to the boy seriously “we survived that crash because of you” smiling at him, Christian thought that the kind mister is still there- inside of the half demon’s body and only just possessed by the true demon
“You proved that you’re worthy to be her student”
Hearing what he just said, Christian’s smile turn unto a frown “C’mon mister! Why do you have to say rude remarks every time! Ren is already devastated as he is earlier, but you! His eyes are puffing red. The other demon also didn’t help to calm him down” he berates the older man again
Nathan inwardly smiles, no matter the rude remarks he has been saying- these kids don’t change their attitude towards him. Rather, he felt that they have been looking at him in a different way, not in a negative way but their eyes would always shine when they look up at him
Which made him feel weird. Lina wants him to teach the kids for her- knowing that she can’t do much being their teacher and master, she can’t help but ask help from her former educator
The demon doesn’t even know if he’s doing the right thing
His emotions are already scattered. He’s always left in confusion, making him act more indifferent than he is… he’s not used to feeling these uncontrollable emotions anymore
It all started in his awakening- he’s having trouble naming what he’s feeling or what he will do when he felt some sort of emotions
Or even considering them in every decision he’s making
He’s clueless
“Ah! Mister! Did you see that?!” Christian’s voice made Nathan’s mind come back to their present situation
The child is pointing at the dark, its so far that normal eyesight can’t see anything from it. Nathan looks at him “Your army told you something?”
Christian cough “No! of course, I have a super sense… I can see afar” he answered with much confidence but Nathan knows the child is much stronger because of his ability- Christian’s soul army
And looking back earlier, he saves them from the explosion ‘It's all because of that ability… I should have that' he thought that it would be more convenient if he has that power
Lina’s grunt made him realize that he’s coveting something that he shouldn’t have… to her brother at top of that
‘She would hate it'
The child grabs unto his clothe and drag him somewhere “What are you doing, kid?” the kid he’s talking about didn’t answer and just bring him along with his running “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?” he asked since Lina’s slumber was interrupted
“You Woke her up!”
Instead, the child put his index finger to his lip and mouthed ‘quiet’
“One of my friends told me that soldiers are on borders right now. They have a rocket so we’re now assuming that they’re the one who attacked us…”
Christian look at their left and right, exaggeratingly moving his hands to signal him ‘follow me’ and act as if they were in some kind of action movie
Nathan did not react at all
Moving Lina’s body on the ground, he put his jacket on her and ask her in sign language if she was comfortable- she just nods
The boy frowned when he saw that the man took care of her sister, it should be him! That’s his sister! No one else should care about her but him ‘this man is such a fake!’ he can't help but think
Not long after, the boy’s underling souls saw an intruder. It’s a man, wearing a uniform just exactly what Corporal Thomas and Amiel is wearing
The man is moving sneakily, which made him wonder more
“My friend said that they’re ordering something to… burry some kind of thing? Are you it’s not a body?... ah, okay, they said that it’s an object to allow one of the soldiers to use his ability in a wide range. What’s the ability?” the child doesn’t know if Nathan’s hearing his explanation and even if he understands anything. Well, who cares because he can handle this situation himself
“WHAT?! Reverse flow? Does something like that exist? What’s that ability?” when Nathan heard the name of the ability, he suddenly has the urge to look at the child and give him the attention that he deserve “Turn back the time in a specific area?”
Looking around, the child’s face expresses a great confusion “WAIT! Can only one of you explain it to me? I apologize, I cant understand if you all talk at the same time”
Judging by his attitude, it seems that Christian respects the souls that he has collected. Even calling them ‘friends’ is absurd for the demon-like Nathan. He can’t believe that this kind of ability fall into the naïve child
“That ability allows you to turn the time back but it can’t affect any life force? Do you mean that they are just bringing back the destroyed houses and buildings but not the lives? What’s the point in that… you mean, they are only hiding this incident. That even if they bomb this city, the establishments will stay the same as if nothing happened”
Hearing it all… Nathan’s felt irked. He cannot accept that Christian’s underlings are much more knowledgeable than the ability user
Shrugging, the demon thinks that it’s absurd “even if they bring back the establishments they can’t hide the fact that lives were thrown away here…”
Both of their ears moved slightly when they heard a strange noise “Mister, quiet down. I can't hear their footsteps” they saw some army men, moving around while carrying a heavy thing on their back
‘It looks like a big fork!’ Christian thought when he saw their silhouette not far from their position “is that the object that you’re telling us?” the boy nods and points at the uniformed men
“Capture them”
And not so long when they saw the shadows moving fast while carrying a bloody man… He can hardly breath
Christian’s jaw dropped when he saw the man “Wa… you killed him? We’re not supposed to kill someone!” his tears easily run down through his cheek while looking from the opposite direction where the man is
Nathan looks at him as if he’s somewhat crazy. They are the ones who created this mess and here he is, weeping for one soul even though he killed more by bringing the Thraia queen into the city… Lina’s children are crazy
Another soul came after the bloody man, this time, one of his hands was cut off and it seems like his leg was also in a devastating situation. The demon scoffed when he realize that there were more than two souls who move to capture the army men
Dionelle's group heard Christian’s scream and was devastated to see the situation of their comrades “what”
Astran look at Nathan and saw the stoic expression he can’t help but think ‘is this the reason why you’re with them?’
Nathan, hearing the demon’s thought, look at him with a smirk and said “what do you think?”
