I had truly loved Stitch and saw his as a father and a teacher. At first I was wary of him the same way NoTe was. However I grew to be comfortable around him and built trust.
He made me stronger and gave me confidence in my own abilities. That I didn't have before. So when he gave us the order to kill him. I didn't know how to feel nor, could I react as fast as NoTe did.
Even though NoTe was fully capable of going through with it. When Stitch's heart stopped beating in NoTe's hand. That was the last time I saw him express an ounce of emotion ever again.
Me and NoTe started going through the stuff. We both had found letters written to us. I had read mines.
Dear Rev
You are a very talented boy even though at times I know you don't think the same. You might not be as talented as NoTe in hand to hand combat. However the way you use mana isn't to be trifled with.
You will be very powerful one day no doubt a challenge to the gods. You need to get your emotions under control. You don't have to be like your brother but just have a clear mind.
I was able to find out who your parents are at least your father. His name is Erik Doom. Which makes you Rev Doom. The Doom family is very powerful. You guys are known for your powerful and deadly flames.
You guys are also descendants of Ares. If you want to meet your father. The last I heard was that he was in the slums of England.
He is managing an underground fight club. The slums is a very dangerous place. Do not let your guard down ever while your there. Also always remember your future isn't dictated by your family.
Love, Stitch

I watch as Rev reads his letter. Before I read mines I rummage through some of the stuff Stitch left me. Just a couple throwing knives and dual wield swords. They are a lot better than the ones I had beforehand. Also some book on mana techniques. It looks weird and old
I have no idea what me and Rev are going to do now. So I guess it's best to let Rev decide. It is time for me to stop avoiding the letter though so I read it.
Dear Note
Your talent and rate of evolution is truly terrifying. The only reason why you didn't become stronger than me is because of yourself.
Your mind wouldn't allow you to think that you could become stronger than me as a child. Your mana ability isn't shadows that is something different. It is evolution. That evolution can't be relied on though because it is a passive abiltity. However, it is held back by your mind and body. Since you have a human body you can never become stronger than a god.
Even the bloodline families you'll struggle against. If you can get a different body then you'll be able to fully evolve. Your mind though if it ever wavers you'll devolve.
Your body will bring you to your weakest state possible. That doesn't mean you can just attack any opponent. You need to truly lose against someone else consistently for you to be able to evolve.
I have no idea who your parents are. I couldn't match your DNA with anyone's. Maybe if you can find your parents you can learn their mana technique. Keep getting stronger NoTe. I can't wait to see your growth.
Love, Stitch

As NoTe finishes reading his letter. I start packing up. I grab all my guns and explosives I made. I never really noticed how my body had changed from when I was 10.
I want to meet my father I have so many things to ask him. Like why he left me at the orphanage or who my mother is. I want him to show me how to use my flames the was The Doom family does.
I want to live up to the name I was born with. I want the chance at another family. I go up to NoTe and tell him about my family name.
"Then we need to leave to meet your father immediately after we have a funeral for Stitch." NoTe says.
I'm very happy NoTe agreed with me without me even telling him my idea. So we start talking of ways to have a funeral for Stitch.
We decide to wrap him in white cloth and place him on a giant tree. We then laid him across the river and I lit him on fire. We watched as Stitch's lifeless body slowly burnt. We decide to leave for our journey that night.
The only problem is we had no idea how we would get to England. Since we were in North America.
We kept walking until we got into a city. It was the first city either of us had been in since we were taken from the orphanage.
We added up all our money and only had enough for 1 boat ticket for one person. NoTe offered to make nation wide drug trade business but I turned him down. I guess Stitch taught him criminal education as well.
NoTe then says he has another Idea and connects his shadow with mine. Then he told me to buy myself a ticket and he disappeared.

This was the first time I've been back in the shadow world since Stitch death. I don't know the range on how far the teleportation works so hopefully this works.
" We don't have a range the shadows connect to darkness everywhere and anywhere"
I jumped as I heard that. I couldn't tell where the voice was coming from. Since it sounded like numerous people from all around me talking at once.
" Isn't rude to talk to someone without showing your face" I say.
" We don't have one because of you" the shadows say.
" What do you mean because of me?" I respond.
" You haven't accepted us yet" they say back.
" How do I accept you?" I say.
"We are you and you are us. We exist because of you and we are The Forgotten. Take our hand and guide us through the darkness king."
After the shadows say that I take their hand. Then everything proceeds to become clear. I can sense buildings and people. There are even animals and other beings. 4 shadows step out and say.
" We are the 4 horseman if you kill and bring us a proper body we can support you as your able soldiers."
I have no idea who the 4 horsemen are but they are definitely strong. Stitch couldn't even compare to them. I speak out to them.
" Who are you guys? What is this place?" I didn't get a response though. All the shadows look up in sync and say.
We will tell you later don't you have somewhere to be. After that I get forced out the shadows and appear behind Rev.
Rev jumps out of confusion but calms down when he realizes it's me. I also realize that time must not pass in the shadow world. It was supposed to take five days for Rev to get to england. I was barley in the shadow world for five minutes.
