Sosuke and Christina spent their time messing around in the city .. whilst there were other sorrowful moments .. there were also happy times ..
no matter how much she wanted to let go of the two brothers that had been her joy she couldn't ...
they were not just memories .. they were her family .. so she couldn't help but feel like there was always nothing she had done for them except for being nice and kind ..
but even so .. they had understood her reasons through and through when she told them her story ..
she and Sosuke were sitting outside on the balcony of a house they had bought a few days ago .
they had even ignored the fact that the king of the Strong clan might be looking for them ..
however this time Christina had swore an oath to herself that nobody close to her will die on her watch especially she has so much power at her disposal ..
although preventing anyone from getting harmed was violence that she couldn't avoid .. she couldn't sit idly waiting for another hero to save the day ..
there had to be a day when she stood up .. and that day had been coming ever since they left the sanctuary ..
the king of the Strong clan might have been a mighty force but in the eyes of Christina .. he was just nothing .. but a disciple trying to overcome the master after training for one day ..
infact if not for the fact that she had been keeping her power to herself like that .. she would've eradicated the entire civilisation of the Strong clan .. and of course spare the little ones ..
thoughts passed through her head as she laid it on his husband's shoulder ..
the night sky upon them basking them with the lights of millions of stars ..
Sosuke had always been apologizing the time they reached earth .. he had even felt guilty for not helping out the two brothers ...
even though his powers were not near to James or Aethelu's .. he might've been great help from the start of the infiltration ..
maybe .. just maybe ..
these thoughts had never left his mind .. he wondered if the time for their. hold to be born .. would it live the life they were living .. the life of running in circles ...
it was a feeling of regret .. a feeling with no cure .. no matter much he put to himself that everything was going to be okay ..
the two of them stood by the balcony with their minds really loud ...
there was no next best thing they could do as of now ..
all they could do was wait ...
"Will it be peaceful ..?" Christina suddenly muttered under her soft voice ..
"Huh?" Sosuke raised his head and looked at her ..
"Will it be peaceful .. for our child to live with us .. I wouldn't want anything happening to him or her .. I don't want to raise a child that's always in danger because of me .. because of us .." she said looking into his eyes ..
"Yes .. I have been contemplating about the child's matter ... I don't want it to be in danger nor do I want to abandon it .. I wanted to check with you .. what can be our solution .." Sosuke averted his gaze and looked towards the skies with glints of lights flashing through his yes as the stars shot past ..
"I will go with everything you have on your mind as of now except for abandoning him .." she said in a resolute expression her gaze on Sosuke who seemed to be lost in his own world ..
....
"We're bound to be apart ..... " it sounded like a whisper .. but Christina had heard it ..
"We're bound to leave each other... the child must be in good .. kind .. warm hands .. with a parent who will give it everything it needs .." multiple veins could be seen almost popping from his face as he spoke ..
his heart broke when the words left his mouth .. they left a bad aftertaste in his mouth .. as he regretted every word he said ..
to him it sounded more like an excuse for him to live his life whilst Christina took care of the child all alone without the help of the father ..
"But you would be leaving me and the child all alone .. I don't want to experience that once again ... let's raise it together ... we have Aurora ... she can be a very good aunt .." she said hastily feeling as if like every word mattered ...
and there was also breaking from the way she spoke ..
she seemed to be hesitant when she let a word left her mouth .. more like she was afraid of saying something that would drive Sosuke away out of her life .. which was the last thing on his mind ..
...
"Do not worry .. I was just contemplating .. and I was just giving us a solution that wouldn't have benefited the both of us very good ... I'm sorry if my words came out wrong ... I want to stay with you no matter how much hard the circumstances are .. I want to be in your warmth and love and life .. " he said softly still gazing into the stars ..
the boundless and endless void closing in .. into his eyes .. as he focused at it wondering about many things ..
silence spread into the night again as the two of them had no other words to say ..
to make it more simple .. they had only spent time together for a while ..
although the time was little .. it felt like eternity for them .. however it was only this time that he realised that .. bad things are bound to happen anytime anywhere ..
fate was not something someone could run away from .. he knew that .. yet he himself had chosen not to care and still live his life carelessly without thinking ..
it took him back when he had his 12th birthday .. alone in an alley that stunk .. that even homeless would move away from just the smell ...
he had been all alone his entire life .. there were only a few good and special memories he could recall whilst he was still a baby in his mother's arms ..
seeing the bright smile on her face even when people told her that he was a demon .. a filthy existence .. that's what they said ..
yet his mother .. did not even look it up and continued living her life like nothing was happening around her ..
even his father had left them after witnessing the birth of a demon .. one that was rumoured to be a ruthless killer ..
many stories had appeared and had been written as a warning to everyone in the world ...
and seeing that there was one in his eyes ... he left without even saying goodbye to his wife that had always loved him even when he had nothing ...
his household was not of an ordinary nor a royal person ..
more like his mother was a noble who had worked in a kingdom for years trying to improve her life ..
but then .. life just gave her an abomination of which she chose to protect instead of ending ..
people had lost trust in her .. spreading rumours that she might as well be a demon .. since she harboured one and without a care in the world ..
the last time he heard her voice and saw her beautiful face was when she was burnt to ash by the people in her town ..
he had lost hope in humanity that day .. and had already given up ... if they were going to kill him so be it
.
.
he wasn't even aware that he had been taken away by a female who had carried him by the river that was flowing to the west hastily ...
as if like everything was planned .. she had put him in a basket made from twigs of durable and hard trees ..
from then on he lived his life as a homeless helpless young boy who ate from the garbage ...
he didn't even notice that his peers had already aged and died whilst he was still a teenager ...
h sat in the alley with a gloomy expression ...
he had no feelings .. he was pale ..
from the looks of it .. he seemed as if like he was dead ..
but even then .. there was always a mighty voice behind the shadows encouraging him to get back up no matter what the circumstances are ..
obstacles were meant to be destroyed .. so he stood up and left the kingdom that has now turned to pure sand that ate away the standing walls ..
he grew and grew in kingdom's that appeared and disappeared just as they appeared ..
it was what he had to deal with for the rest of his life .. it was like his soul was bound to be eternal on earth ..
no matter how much he tried to kill himself .. everything proved to be useless ..
however .. in the times he grew up .. he had earned quite a life for himself and trained to be a knight .. and since he was more experienced due to the continuous observations of the knights from the past ..
he had passed and became the known knight in the entire world ..
even other kingdoms had never dared to make a move on a kingdom that was harbouring him ..
and for a long time .. he felt it ..
being with people ..
having emotions ..
being happy ..
it was a foreign feeling to him since all of his emotions had long disappeared ...
however even so .. a smile slightly showed up on his face .. his heart suddenly getting warmer ..
his pale eyes .. getting color ..
his entire life felt like it had been renewed ..
however that didn't last long .. as rumours of a demon being harboured in the kingdom spread through the outskirts of every kingdom ..
most knowledgeable priests and librarians had read through all of the scripts from the past showing an image of a little boy with red eyes ..
they had labelled every book and every scroll that was about him .. *When An Abomination Was Born* ...
the priests and the librarians shuddered at the thought of having something like that roaming around the kingdom ...
they too have heard the rumours .. but they disregarded them since the details they had been given through scrolls and books gave traits a demon had .. not what their presence felt like ..
however for a priest it was easy since their main job was to cleanse a kingdom from its sins ..
and that's when something started disturbing them as the images of the little baby with red eyes appeared in their heads more than often ..
eventually they had their lead traced back at their saviour ..
the black knight ...
when they proved that Sosuke was a demon .. they had thrown him out of their kingdom .. asking for an alliance with other kingdoms to destroy him ..
time had passed by .. and without him knowing about the things happening in the world ..
he didn't realise that the past had changed the future ..
everyone was very wary of the black knight .. and since there could only be one black knight they immediately retaliated even though he didn't even raised a finger ...
he tried many times to get their trust and respect ... as he gave them gold .. diamonds .. every mineral a kingdom could ask for .. yet despite his efforts .. he failed ..
and then he grew up to the age he was currently at right now and met Christina .. a woman with a kind heart ..
a woman with a humble soul .. a woman who really liked her company ..
at first .. when Christina had told him that she wanted to have fun and have him introduce earthly things .. he hesitated since .. he couldn't trust that easily after what had happened to him years back ..
wounds would heal by the time ... however memories never heal .. they continued to embrace him as he found himself distancing himself away from everyone including Christina .. only secretly since he wanted to apologize and make her wish come true ..
however after a hundredth tour .. he soon realised that Christina was not like the other humans .. he already knew that she was of royalty and that she was not from earth .. so he felt like it wouldn't be any different since everyone hated demons ..
even though he wouldn't call himself a demon ...
people would just from judging his character and his title ..
slowly but surely he kept getting closer to Christina .. without saying or speaking anything with her ..
but then one day .. they found out that they both liked each other's company ..
they started their first conversations and continued until it left them 'here' ...
'If we let the child live without parents .. it would probably suffer even more than me since that mysterious man is after her .. I can't let this happen .. I need to make a difference .. ' he thought as he unconsciously caressed his wife ..
he picked her up like a princess and put her on the soft sheets of the bed as she looked at him with a curious gaze ..
all this time .. she had felt emotions coming from him .. and one of those feelings were fear and sadness ..
although sadness was a normal occurrence for him ... fear ..
fear was not ..
it worried her that he was still thinking so much about the future he knew nothing about ...
he set tons of ideas of the future .. trying to set a better one instead of the bad one ..
"Hey .. are you alright .. I told you that I forgave you even although you did nothing wrong .." she said sitting up on the bed and went up to him and gave him a big hug ..
"I too feel guilty for leaving and being useless .. I know what you're feeling .. but you have to let go .. negativity won't help you with anything .. if .. if there's something bothering you .. please tell me .. we can solve it .. the two of us .." she said as she let go looking into his eyes ..
"Don't worry nothing is wrong .." he said softly stroking her hair before putting her back to bed and laying beside her ..
