A s Miumi had traveled down the mountain side and looked at the same people who had praised him to stand up for them, a look of sorrow was within his eyes, he brought back the body of the body that had died for the parents. Not managing to look them in the eye or even say anything, he had went to the inn where an elderly couple had watched him, for two days Miumi had barely eaten, The look of fatigue on his face was obvious, the black rings under his eyes were clear and the deadly clutch he had around the bear. Miumi's eyes were all blood-shot and it stinged to blink he had cried that much that he just couldn't cry anymore. The elderly couple just watched silently as he sat near the fire place just gingerly tracing a name on the ground, he had traced it so many times there was a small indent. It said Ayamu. The days had ticked by. Miumi had taken a bath and took the doll with him, he didn't let the doll out of his sight. As he just sat there stroking the top of the head he was near the door watching as if he expected it to swing open and the couple to step through. They had promised him the power to bring the bear back. It was his only friend, his only love. His eyes were dreary, he just seemed like he was going to die. He had injected so much of his own energy into the bear.
The demon yawns as it circles around, slowly descending to where the boy stood, he was alone this time having returned Blue back to the Midgar base before rushing back here, in fact he'd even slept for a few hours ontop of a passing airship before finally making his way back to the Cetra continent. He landed on his knees infront of the boy, panting softly before he looks up to the boy. He then breathes in deeply before standing up, his eyes staring into the boy's eyes.
He points his palm to the snow covered ground before he lets off a flare spell melting away the snow leaving dry ground before returning his gaze to the boy.
"I could revive him for you, however that would not help you grow as a person"
The demon could see how hurt this child was by the loss of the bear.
"I can offer you my some of my powers including the life spell, yet this is not a gift, in order to gain some of my powers you need to enter into a contract with me"
The demon holds up one hand as purple mist appears and starts to circle around his wrist slowly, his eyes focused on the boy as the mist continues to circle around his wrist.
"This contract binds you to me until I cancel it, I will gain power every time you use one of my powers and in time you will learn of some of its more interesting properties, would you accept this deal with a devil?"
As the other landed, he spoke, his words were wise and well chosen but Miumi seemed to be focusing on the bear, as the other spoke he mentioned bringing the bear back to life in exchange for something. That caught Miumi's eyes and he slowly stepped closer to the other, as he asked Miumi he he would make a deal with the devil, to trade his own soul in exchange for the life of Ayamu was a fair trade within these innocent eyes. As the purple mist flew through the air he just nodded his head, those eyes weren't as hollow but they held a steely determination which meant he wouldn't stop until he was near dead. Miumi seemed to bring his hand to his mouth biting his finger roughly actually breaking the skin, the sharp scent of blood filled the air for a moment. Miumi's contract with Ayamu was one of blood. He assumed that this contract would be the same, as blood trickled down his thumb, he offered it to the other for some reason. Could it be this boy knew of a form of contract. The tattoo that was faintly showing on his shoulder showed he knew of a contract that brought him to this world.
"To save Ayamu I would sell my soul and climb down to the depths of hell. Ayamu is my family, my other part. He means the world to me. I can't just let him die. I will accept this contract. ."
The demon raised and eyebrow as the boy bites his thumb. He sighs and holds his hand over the boys hand and the demons lips move slightly as he casts a cure spell on the thumb before he chuckles and takes the boys hand.
"I hope you like it boy"
The an instant later the boy would start so see flashes of memories of the demons past, he would see a young Belzera run a dagger into the back of his fathers throat, then he saw a life threatening duel between Belzera and his mother that ended with the demon taking his own mothers life. The boy would see so many battles in a city of Iron that moved and twisted to protect it ruler Belzera from assasins in the night, he'd see flashes of two women and a young broken blonde girl, he would see the Demon fall in a battle against a unending number of demons in an attempt to save the young girl. Then the boy would see the instant when the demon arrived on gaia, thrown from hell into a blizzard at the foot of Mount Zozo and then flashes of the young girl broken once more fighting against the demon that tried to save her. He would see flashes of people, the daughter of Braska the man who brought sin's last calm stood side by side with other strange folk, some she might recognise and some she would not, he would see Dragons fill the sky as the armies of Gaia fought them off. Then he saw the demon as he was now, stood before the same folk he fought beside as an enemy serving a man named Morpheus, then the flashes would stop and Miumi would see the demon stood before him and understand he had only to name the abilities he wanted and
"you will gain them"
The demon finishes his realisation and sits down in the snow and looks up at the sky, on his face Miumi would know the demon was now recalling the memories he had just witnessed
T he soft look of confusion that crossed Miumi's fragile features was very noticable as the other leaned over his bleeding thumb and cast a spell upon it, as he did Miumi seemed to almost melt as a sudden rush of warmth flowed through his body as he just blushed deeply it was pleasurable for Miumi, the cure just seemed to sooth him almost like a mother did. It was strange but he just looked up as the other touched his skin. A soft gasp escaped Miumi's lips weren't going unnoticed as he just stood there his eyes would widen farther and farther as if he were on some kind of drug. Slowly the other's life began to flash before Miumi's eyes causing him to grab his head, as for moments the very being that was Miumi was battling with the other's memories. The personalities clashed and Miumi was seen grasping his hair pulling it taunt his nails digging against his skin, for a moment a near banshee like scream would fill the air. It seemed to echo and would cause some of the patrons of the inn to stare at Miumi. While his eyes watered slowly his brain began to put together the memories, it was rather strange to know that he was within someone's mind in. He just slowly got silence as the memories and his own began to separate. The mentals games were now over and Miumi could focus on the pictures that flooded his mind with a tidal wave force.
Suddenly Miumi's face was contorting with emotion as tears slid down along his face, an image of the demon formed it was a younger version, a child who had brandished a dagger the suddenly feeling of his hands mimicking the motions of plunging the dagger into the man's throat. The feeling of the blood pouring out and flowing down his hands felt so realistic, as Miumi's breathing sped up slowly beads of sweat could be seen sliding gently along the pale boy's cheeks giving him a more ghastly appearance. As the sickening bubble of doubt began to form within Miumi's stomach he could feel it, it made him want to throw up for some strange reason. As his hand shifted to his stomach, as slowly the blood grew cold on his skin and dried. As Miumi blinked at his hands the blood was gone but he could still feel it's ghostly arms. As soon the memories faded away and he would reform in the midst of a battle, the feeling of andrenilla pumping through his own veins as he took Belzera's place the battle went on for minutes, the woman's strikes were feral and made to kill. Yet he fought back in the end the woman fell before him, Miumi stepped forward towards the fire place yet in his mind he was standing with a puddle of the other's blood. Miumi's skin grew paler as sweat condensed on his brow he looked like he might die from this.
While then their memories would collide against one another again, The memories of seeing his true parents, no his creators Claudia and Lucied passed through his mind the look of their shocked faces as he was being sucked within the portal as then the next set the older couple who had watched over them, their looks of happiness and then the endless calming look upon their face when they died. As then the other could see it through his clothing Miumi's tattoo began to glow, it was repairing itself the wings were stilled tattered but they were spread farther revealing a slightly broken heart hidden beneath them. As slowly the wings parted a little farther along the heart a name began to etch itself within Miumi's skin as it did slowly A long cursive B was formed connecting to the rest of the letters. The fangs were then changing colors as did the wings, instead of being black the fangs became red much like the blood the other had split. While the wings gained a twist apperance one the wings was a milky white which dwarfed Miumi's own paleness and the other was twisted and deformed black with some father's missing. While within the heart Miumi's name could be seen the letters were in cursive but covered by what one could assume was stitching. As this changed A look of pain and fear crossed Miumi's fragile features. It was like he was a butterfly going through metamorphism. The pain he felt was like fire coursing through his veins.
His vision then split as his memories began to push against one another while he could see two different worlds, he saw his home within the castle where he had fought so many batttles, The list was near endless, as he remembered how some of the halls were stained so deeply with blood not even trying to use magic to clean up the mess seemed to work. While then his other eye was spazzing as he watched as there was a city of iron. For hours the images of battle flooded his mind as bodies seemed to hit the floor constantly in both visions. But in reality merely seconds had gone by yet he felt as if years and hours were flowing by. While this near sickening scene put into prospective the man he had just bound his soul to. It caused fear to flow down his spine this man had done nothing but kill at one point. While soon in both dreams the man got exhausted so each side of his body put an arm up one was touching a wall of stone which had absorbed blood. While the other felt as if it was resting on ice cold steel, while it caused Miumi to shiver, there was something about the steel. As his hand rested there he could feel something as the steel pulsed almost as if it was alive. It was scary that meant the town the man had once been in, had been alive in a fashion.
Two images flashed between Miumi's mind one was an image of the ruler of the city of steel, while the other was a twisted man who was the ruler of his own domain. While two images then flashes a young child and a woman, two different sets for each eye, he saw what Belzerra had seen at one point then he saw his mother and a child he had seen in Besaid it was the child of the Fayth. Suddenly the image twisted he saw countless heads of demons, he could hear their howls of hunger which consumed all his feelings. As he remembered feeling his arm reach towards the child who he was trying to save. But as the demons fell down towards the ground, there were only more to come forth in the end he was standing within a puddle of blood which seemed to be growing. In the end his struggle was in vane as they countined to attack the man who had just become in a way his master. Suddenly Miumi's leg muscles gave out much like the others might have and Miumi feel to the ground. A loud thud filled the inn as Miumi's head hit the floor as well, as he just lay there his eyes were open but his mind was recovering. For a brief moment Miumi saw the real world and he saw Ayamu laying in the chair where he had placed him. Miumi managed to speak a single sentance before the world was devoured again.
"Ayamu, I'll always protect you. ."
W hen he spoke those words, another vision hit him, as he seemed to feel weightless as he fell through both time and space, landing within a blizzardy mountain known as Mountain Zozo, he could feel the cold winds whipping at his flesh but he didn't seemed to care as his thoughts were on the girl was she okay. While at that thought there was another he was fighting more demons but this time the girl was broke she seemed so frail and helpless as she laided there. Part of Miumi wished he could of been there to help but he wasn't able to do anything. Then there were just flashes of people that he might one day meet, a young child who had faintly seen before in Besaid. As suddenly other images a of men who brandished powerful weapons caused Miumi to clutch his head, his brain was beginning to hurt as a desire to be able to make the pain go away, light that path towards one of the powers he wanted, it was life, while then a second desire burned as the boy curled into a ball, the power to defend Ayamu and his friends on his journey, the hecto flare. As the images that flashed within his mind began to slow even slightly Miumi seemed to relax slightly as the pain began to fade even the tiniest bit caused him some relief. He felt alive as he just lay there so peacefully it so innocent and frail looking.
Suddenly the image changed he then appeared within another world it seemed as dragons flew through the sky almost wildly, but then the sight of war filled Miumi's vision causing him to clutch his chest, as there had always been war within his home, he watched as the armys of Gaia as he fought against the dragons. One by one slowly the number of dragons began to dwindle until the final one who stayed to fight was slain by men wearing armor. It brought a dull ache to Miumi's chest but then he saw the destruction as Miumi's view suddenly was awarded with the sight of burned bodies, some were half eatten which caused Miumi to retch slightly it was a disgusting sight. As Miumi just stood there walking non-chalantly through the bodies for once he was free of the other's memories he was capable of seeing the world at different angles. But in this place all those angles represented a crushed soul, a devastated family. Suddenly Miumi's body was driven back into the memories of Belzera. Suddenly he was standing before a man known as Morpheous,, as the boy stood there he watched as slowly the images began to fade and Miumi's vision went black. As the vision blurred and a few tears slid down his face slowly Miumi began to rise. His eyes were blood-shot and he had been drooling as if he had been in a seizure. It made that terribly awkward as he slowly sat up a trail of saliva connecting his face to the floor.
As Miumi sat there calmly, the other would see his tattoo glow again as this time there were more lettered added alogn the angelic white tattoo their was a cursive hand writing spiritus on Miumi's back, while the other wrote everto incendia. As Miumi slowly looked towards Ayamu the feeling of magic filled the air it was powerful. As Miumi focused his magic on the other suddenly the body was being picked up by invisible hands of angels and bringing it to the floor, veins of energy from the world around them began to appear and snake around the bear almost like a serpent. It began to force Miumi's stored energy through the veins starting the heart of the beast which relied on magic as slowly the steady sound of another breath in the room began to make Miumi smile. As he felt the other's presence a scream within his mind went off but Miumi just smiled as if hadn't give him one of the worst headaches ever. As the bear slowly calmed down and looked at Miumi, he felt the difference and could see Miumi's tattoo. Ayamu felt touched Miumi had bond himself to another master in order to save him. As the bear jumped into Miumi's arms the two sat there and held one another much like one would expect a husband to do to a with his wife after they had just lost something dear. They two seemed at peace, they seemed as one, as he had said they were shadow-kissed. They had come with death so many times.
" Are you okay."
A s Miumi asked the bear spoke in an ancient wise voice...
"Stop trying so hard.!"

The Demon watches the pair with a faint smile and then gets up and pats the boys head softly as he was reuinited with his bear. The demon however had memories of his past in his mind right now and couldn't smile with betraying the sense of sadness.
"Only two huh, not a greedy one are you Miumi but very well you only have to ask me for more in the future boy."
The Demon then looks up to the sky and unfolds his wings wide and flaps them a few times, he closes his eyes and then leaps up into the air and hovers over the ground for a moment as he looks at Miumi again.
"May you use the skills well boy, Until we meet again"
