    When Alice finished, she got up. "Kid, mind if i speak to you for a moment?"she asked, beginning to walk out so they could talk in private while his weapons finished eating. "Did Melantha tell you any of the risks she's taking in order to help Asura?"she asked, curiously. She had heard the angel talk in her sleep and wanted to know if she was the only one left in the dark.


    Melantha knocked once when she returned, soon entering and placing the tray in the night stand. "She paused as she noticed how long his hair had gotten. "You should cut your hair. Its longer than mine."she said in slight amusement.

    Kid raised his eyebrow. "No.. She hasn't. But I can imagine it's a risk talking to that moron anyway." He grumbled.

    Asura turned his head to face Melanth as she commented on his hair. "Hm?.... Seems so...." He sighed. "I can't be f*cking bothered." He continued as he headed over slowly to where the food was. He seemed better sure, but he was still healing.


    "So... Still alive and able to do stuff Melantha.... What have I missed?"

    Alice frowned. "I am being serious kid!" The weapon raised her voice, something that was very rare for her. "I heard her say in her sleep that she may potentially die as result of helping Asura." Alice informed. "I.. don't know all the details.. and im not sure she'd tell me anyway.."Alice murmured.


    ~~~~~


    Melantha took in a breath. "Well.. when you revived, i did as well. Death sought me out after i lost control and began hunting hunan souls. Alice was sent and she helped bring me back from madness.. similar as to how she did with you. As you know.. the basic law of Angels is they die when their charge does. Seeing as im a dark angel. I sort of speculated you were alive as i wouldn't be otherwise. Alice and i made plans to learn the truth. That's pretty much it i think."she said.

    Kid's eyes widened yet again and he paused for a moment. "Potentially die?.." He murmured. "Why?..... Is it something to do with that moron's powers?.."

    "I see... But considering my power isn't what it could be. You're at risk here also." Asura thought aloud as he took a sip of the drink. "Angels really do have a poor f*cking lifestyle huh...?" He sighed. "Not that is it much of my business of course."


    He seated himself down and glanced at the other chair. "Sit if you want. I don't care. Just standing seems too frickin' formal to me." The male complained before placing his drink back down and trying to eat something, finding it very hard at first to consume something.

    "I don't know.. I dont even think it has anything to do with Asura.."she said. "But.. it makes sense.. she knew you would follow.. and why would she have bothered showing us a sacred shrine where angels fell into their last sleep..?"she asked, A soft sigh given.


    "She wouldn't tell me the truth if i asked.. but she might tell you.." Alice suggested.


    ~~~~~~~


    "Not exactly. You seem to forget im 357 years old.. not my physical age? In that aspect, i'm an Archangel."she said. "My second set of wings should be growing in soon.. ots almost been a month since my awakenong after all.."she muttered.


    "Point is, your power isn't putting me at risk."she said, as she took a seat.

    Kid frowned and glanced away. "Maybe so... But I can't if she is with Asura all the time."


    __________


    "Tch. If you say so." He sighed. "Don't blame me if anything happens." The male continued as he took another sip of his drink before eating some more. But left the rest as he couldn't stomach it at the moment.


    "What were you intending on doing now that I'm awake....?"

    Alice nodded, leaving the room to go clean up the kitchen.

    ~~~~

    Melantha rolled her eyes. "Well, i am technically on the execution list.. but only for 'betraying' Death." She muttered. When he asked about what she intended to do now, she hummed. "There isnt much i can do. Alice has your madness under control, so i dont have to worry about that. And until you recover, I cant remove the madness."she said. "And you already know what it takes to remove madness.. the overcoming of the fear that summoned it."she said.

    Kid remained on his own until his weapons soon arrived, messing around as usual.

    Asura glanced back over at the Angel. "I see.." He murmured. "Thought, being almost dead was quite a treat." The male sighed. "I felt nothing.. Absolutely nothing. It was peaceful."


    "But.. Being as loyal as you are, you didn't give up. Shows how frickin' stubborn you are." He let out a choked sigh which almost sounded like a silent laugh. But of course he wouldn't admit it did.

    Melantha smiled softly. "There's a lot of conflict on that."she referred to him saying she was loyal. "But, death is suppose to be peaceful, Asura. Isn't that what you told me?" She questioned, surprised to hear him laugh, though she didnt show it.

    Asura glanced over at her. "Probably. I can imagine myself saying that...." He sighed. "You can't tell how peaceful it is until you've experienced it. It's..... A lot larger than you can imagine."


    He soon realised how he sounded, only to then huff. "Not that it's f*cking important."

    Melantha tipped her head slightly. "I technically did. I just came back."she said, referring to her 240 year-long sleep. She got up from where she sat. "I'll take this back to the kitchen."she said, referring to the food she had brought him. He wasnt able to eat much, something she had expected. She grabbed the tray and turned, leaving the room. She headed for the kitchen.


    As she neared the kitchen, pain coursed through the Angel's body. Her wings unfurling forcefully as she dropped the tray, a scream tearing from the angel as she fell to the ground, just below her wings her skin looked as though it was being pushed from the inside. She used her nails to claw at the ground as the pain increased.


    Alice by now had come running, only to freeze at the sight. She wasnt sure what to make of it, having never seen an Angel gaining their second pair of wings. She wasnt sure what to do either, as she didnt want to add to the pain and she wasn't sure if she could help.

    Kid at this point suddenly ran over as well with the others, crouching down near ehr and looking in great concern. "Melantha! What is the-"


    Wings.. Coming from her back... Another pair.... What? Why? Was this meant to happen?!


    "Alice, we may have to help ease the time of pain and let the wings come out." He stated as he remained where he was.

    Melantha's first set flapped violently, the second pair pushing out slowly, causing a second scream to rip from the Angel as her flesh tore open, the bone of her new wings ripping outwards.


    "Leave her be.. The wings are just forming.. she's gone through the pain once she said.."she said, looking tiward kid. "I'd also get back. Her wings are a bit hectic.."she suggested.


    Melantha's main set slowly lowered the angel's back bloodied as her new wings took form. Her body going limp briefly as flesh and tissue formed along the bone of the new wings. Her soul then began to expand. Her wavelength growing stronger as the new wings formed.


    Alice could feel the power coming from the angel, watching as the angel's body began to regenerate at an impressive speed. Tissue, flesh and feather formed as the Angel remained still.


    Melantha's eyes had shut, the angel waiting for the pain to pass and also her body to finish regenerating before she spoke.

    Kid had to leap back so he wasn't hit in any way and just watched in disbelief.. This..... This happened with angels?!


    "I see..." Said a low voice. Kid froze and turned his head to faze the long haired Asura as he approached.


    "It appears your wings have grown. That was why you were letting out that loud f*cking screech." He sighed, only to approach further and not even hesitate to get close to the wings.

    Melantha forced herself to sit up, sitting up on her knees. "Yes... seems i misjudged when they'd grow.."she replied, the wings flapped a couple times before both sets folded. "Are you alright..?"Alice asked, Melantha glancing back at her. "I'm fine.. Every angel goes through it when they reach 300 years.. i'm over 300 and seeing as my body just regained it's strength, my wings just grew in."she said, her wings disappearing as she forced herself to stand. "It's been awhike since i've felt that pain.. sorry if i scared anyone."she said. She was glad her Regeneration was better than it was way back when. Otherwise, it would have taken longer.

    Asura shrugged. "Same sh*t different day. That's it." He sighed before glancing over at Kid properly.


    "Seems the runt has grown a bit huh? Not so little perfectionist now..." He murmured as they both glared at each other for a while.


    "Maybe so. But if anyone's the runt, I think I'm looking right at the b*stard."


    "Oooh... Harsh Kid. Still have grudge huh?"


    "Haven't you?"


    "Fair point. Let's make this a mutual hate."


    "Fine by me."


    "Tch. Death really has you leashed huh..."


    "Shut up. Father's business is none of yours."


    "Only when I am defying it."


    "Exactly."


    The two's auras were rather dark. And even Kid's weapons were silent. They knew Kid wasn't happy in the slightest from seeing him.

    Melantha tsked.


    "If you plan on causing trouble, then you can leave Kid."she said. "I didn't force you to come here, nor did i force you to stay. So, if you want to, leave."


    "If i have to listen to a full-grown man argue with his kid-brother, i will start treating you both as though you are younger than me. Which i think would be a little embarassing, yes?"she questioned.


    "Second, Kid, he is right. You are controlled by your father. Your first instinct was to kill me when i found Asura, despite the fact i have proven i am loyal to those i trust. Therefor, i lack any trust with you now. The only reason you didnt is because i told you my plan. You have suspected me all along as a traitor when in reality i was trying to be loyal, but how can i be loyal to someone who shoved his son into a bag of his own flesh?"she questioned, the Angel glaring at the young reaper.


    The angel then took in a breath, "you want to know why there arent any angels left?"she asked, walking closer toward kid. She wondered if she had any of her ArchAngel abilities. Any at all.. she moved forward quickly, and placed her hand to his forhead, "videantur quae vidi".


    Kid's sight went white suddenly, and a scene from Melantha's memory began to replay. He saw through her eyes..


    Ooc: she said See what i Saw in latin.. also, here is where i make Lord Death look bad lol


    It was long ago.. but i remember it like it was yesterday. Death had called a meeting with the archangels; Michael, gabriel, and Lucifer; to discuss matters pertaining the Elite. He explained he didnt think Angels were needed anymore, claiming we were vastly inferior now that the reapers had Demon Weapons. We argued we had been alove for years as servants to the reapers and that we simply cannot just stop what we have done for centuries.. Death ordered Lucifer to slay all of the Angels and then kill himself.. alas, Lucifer denied and claimed he'd rather kill Death than become a murderer of his own kind..

    He asked Gabriel next, but Gabriel only agreed to do it if he was too live and death Declined.

    Lastly, Death asked his third most loyal Angel, Michael. Michael agreed, saying he would do anything for his master. I fled home to warn everyone. But, they didn't believe me as my wings weren't white. I had fallen for Asura and so, they shunned me.. they shunned me like Death did. I fled into a secret chamber of the Shrine and could only listen to my family and my friends scream in agony as they were killed, as they were betrayed by the ine who they served for years. I came out when everything fell silent and went to find Asura.. but, it was too late. Death had already forced Asura into a sleep and i was soon to follow. In my sleep, i hoped for death. I wanted to die to be with my family, to see the people who had died because they trusted a reaper. That is one thing i will never do again..


    I will never trust a Reaper.

    Kid managed to get out of the vision once it had ended but kept a straight face for the purpose of not showing his shock or surprise. He knew of his father's variation of portrayal in the eyes of people. But he never got to see this kind of side to the being called his father.


    Asura raised an eyebrow at how the Angel had acted. Rolling his eyes a little as Kid remained the way he was. "You should know by now Melantha that something like that would not faze him. He's just as bad as that monster I call a father apparently."


    The teen glanced over at Asura for a moment.


    "If anything.. I'd say the same." He narrowed his eyes for a moment.


    Kid sighed and glanced back towards the angel.


    "I will leave later today. I have things to deal with now because of these events." The male sounded a little different as he turned and began to walk away.


    "I apologise for the pain endured." He continued. But he stopped and glanced at her from the corner of his eye.


    "But I cannot do anything about it. And what I have seen today cannot do anything about this current situation.


    It happened. It ended. It no longer should take effect. If you so wish to fight my father for it, give it a try. I doubt you'll be successful. I cannot afford to abandon what I have to work for.


    I am sorry that it has to be this way." Kid murmured before leaving.


    OOC: Perhaps a plan could be made to sabotage the school and allow Kid to see his father's true being or anger and that and be deterred from his controlled path? IDK. And then he and Melantha develop a bit?

    ic:

    Melantha turned on her heel. "I didn't think it would faze him, Asura."she stated, with a shrug. "I showed him so he'd know the monster he was becoming. If it doesn't faze him, then so be it."she said.


    She seemed to ignore kid's words. I'll join the rest of my kind soon enough.. then, you and your father can rejoice knowing Angels are extinct. She headed for the room she stayed in. Alice remained still, somewhat confused.


    Melantha soon entered her room, she headed toward a mirror which was set up in a corner. She stared at herself a moment, wondering. Am i a monster? I have killed people.. swallowed their souls.. i should tell Alice.. i should explain to her why else i brought her here.. she thought, sighing.


    Ooc: I was thinking maybe kid returns in time for a meeting where Lord Death teams up with a few witches who want the Angel's wings? In turn for them capturing Melantha and Alice [and perhaps killing Asura], they get to clip Melantha's wings and use them to revive a grand witch. One of which was very problematic years ago. Maybe, one of the witch's reveals to Kid after the meeting that Witch kind didnt know of the magical qualities an Angel's wings held until Death told them every secret, and weakness, an angel has?
