When Demon Child Become Human
␑| A Choice

Soot eyes stare softly at the moon is so white again beautiful accompanied by hundreds of flickering jokes of the stars. Every night I look at the night sky, it always reminds me of our little promise.

...'Orihime and Hikiboshi will always be together ....'...

... In the constellation Lyra.

I know it's just an empty wishful thinking; a false promise because after all, he won't come back; he can't go back. However, still I still hope and end up lulled with the light of night.

"Like a star in the dark." Spontaneously I turned to the voice of the menayu-dayu who said so. "I hope one day you can shine by yourself like the stars in the sky. And maybe in time, you can guide .. lead the lost."

And her hair was slightly blown off the wind over the plucked fingers and a few silver strands behind her ears.

Noticing my gaze, he immediately turned his head. Thanks to the glare of light, those eyes seemed to shine like kings of the night. "As your first known name, REDstar."

Immediately I chuckled because after a long time, Fate the first person called me again with a name that I hated; still remember the name that I wanted to bury. Despite knowing and understanding every word really well, even the initial sentence when we first met that I doubted became very clear, still this one.

"Handler."

"Name is prayer. I'm sure they gave you that call, not without cause."

The look of my joints changed the more I saw her thin lips say so. "Everything happens for a reason?"

And he nodded, begging me let out a wry smile and gripped the top side of the balcony railing. I looked away and looked down, looking at the crowds of people down there - the backyard of the mansion. Ah, there's Daniel and Cecil.

They were like they were having a small fight, looking harmonious. Maybe it feels peaceful if you don't have a lot of things that disturb the mind, like me. Imagine how I could lead others, when I myself was a mess like this? Whether it's to cheer me up or something. However, it seems very excessive.

So I decided to shift the topic. "Fate, you had said that just now meeting an immortal like me, meant that you once met another immortal as well? If so, who?"

The girl was silent for a moment before replying, "Yes, never. He was the ancestor of my father's side."

Ah, so? But what makes it eternal? Maybe make yourself immortal with magic? The Fate origin world had very much elemental power. "Is he a good man?"

"In the eyes of the world, it's not good. In the eyes of certain people, he is just someone who wants the person he loves back."

The reflexes next to my eyes twitched to hear it because there was a piercing upheaval in the recesses of the chest. It made me spontaneously fold two hands over the balcony railing and lean my head there, then look at the calm sky.

Because .. sad, that's what's in your head.

I came to the conclusion that he chose to be immortal because he was trying to resurrect his loved ones. It is indeed in vain because as powerful as anything, the one that has not returned will never return. Can't go back. I started to put my head in my arms.

But if I were him, I would probably do the same.

"Then what makes me different?" The words immediately came out of his lips. I also slightly tilted my head, staring faintly at the girl over her flat face. "What makes me different from the immortals you've met?"

Suddenly Fate looked ahead. The faint blue silver eyes were closed, like enjoying the chill of the breeze that hit the alabaster skin. "Wrapped in darkness, with a speck of light. But slowly, the darkness began to disappear. And your aura is starting to feel normal."

Maybe up to this point, I lost to him .. it sank and vanished because Fate was so glowing. I don't know, I don't feel any significant change in my body except for black hair being red.

Ah, yes, and the pain in the body is getting more pronounced. Then, I will be the one who will die-God, I think again about the black and white matter again. Finally trying to swallow my worries with a small shake.

Before long, I asked, "What do you think ... of immortality?"

He looked down for a moment, looking at me deeply. "I don't think immortality should exist for humans. Because it'll only cause trouble. It would be better for nothing to be eternal, for the balance of the world is disturbed thanks to immortality."

"Why?"

"Because the life cycle is disrupted. Humans should not live, they should also rest. A new generation is replacing the old. Life and death, always side by side."

"And your ancestors are dead?" I asked all of a sudden, fully understanding what he meant.

"Yes. In the end, he went back to his creator."

"You know .. I thought he and I were immortal. But he still died, in my hands. I thought, maybe he is actually not immortal, only has the power over a very large time to not age. Or because I am immortal, he can die at the hands of the immortal. If he can read the future with his magic .. why, he didn't kill me first?"

Fate let out a short breath. "Because it's impossible to kill the person he loves. Most likely when reading the future, he will run away from you or will try to replace that future."

"But I can," my timpal was quickly accompanied by a ruckus, also gripping the balconies fence so tight that the knuckles paled in the creeping cold.

Yes, I can .. kill him.

To be controlled or not, I still did it. Heh. I immediately threw my face away and looked down deeply. It was very short to say such a sentence, making my breath hunt and hands tremble lightly-astaga, more precisely an immeasurable pain until my heart throbbed. I desperately held back the tears that forced it to be launched.

Moreover, what Fate said was true. He ran away from me, as my consciousness slowly disappeared; when the angel came back, rather than killing me who was helpless. Then he realized and felt sorry he said, ending up stabbed by me.

If you run far away, why come back? Just go, why care about a despicable creature like me? I don't understand the way he thinks. Once I step in ... end up accepting, just like that?

"If you could choose not to be immortal, how would you?"

"Huh?"

"If you could choose to give up your immortality or keep having it, what would you choose?" it was like asking something serious.

I turned to look at Fate in a lethargic glance. That expression is a little bit I don't understand. And the matter of choosing ..it's not an easy choice. I was confused as to what to answer.

One side, I want it. I'm tired of my own life but don't like uncertainty. What else still wants to enjoy this warmth, also think of the people who care about me.

The feeling of being left behind, so torturous. I couldn't stand it myself either. I don't think anyone would be sad about my departure ....

"Let's see" I said, "you alone, if you have the choice to be immortal or not, what do you choose?"

"Not eternal," he replied without pause in his straight-forward view, "I don't want to forget the memory I have. Maybe I'll try to recall it, but we don't know what's going to happen in the future. Anyway, I don't want to be forgotten. The short life of man .. makes a memory so precious."

I have always been amazed by his firmness and determination. Baby, I'm not that strong. "Maybe I, it'll stay like this."

"Are you sure of your choice?"

I muttered, then saw my hands that would not come off clutching the fence. "Yes. It seemed, being immortal was not bad either."

I forced myself to cackle. "With my immortality, can minimize the worst. .. become a protector, because it won't die. Ah, yes, I will try not to be so careless. After all it's accepting of myself, for what it is."

"And losing someone is excruciating, isn't it?" I continued in a faint smile. "I don't want anyone to be sad because of me. Let me carry this memory, until I can no longer afford to step."

"Understanding, the choice has already been set. Purification stops at ninety-nine percent."

Eh?

Spontaneously I turned to Fate because his tone was different, like EVE; like a robot. However, his face was dimly covered, only a sharp bluish silver eye twinkle could be seen.

Then the girl sternly left the outer balcony, before which she said, "There will be a fee of your choice."

"I knew. I realized that living forever is not easy what else is often shaken, and is ready for all the consequences. I'll prepare myself."

Footsteps came to a halt, right at the border of the pitch night and the festivities of the event. Therefore also, I can see .. different, his expression is very piercing. The first time I saw Fate like this, plus his left index finger was pointing right at me in a cold smile I had never seen before, making me freeze in place.

"It's not you who's gonna pay for it."

"meaning? Wait-ah-ah, Fate!"

I tried to catch up, but he .. was already lost in the crowd, before I managed to hear what he meant.
