Chapter Text
Prologue
In the back of a circus tent laid a boy with a red left arm with a green cross on the palm. He laid there in pain for what felt like hours to him as he laid there on the cold ground. Not once during this event did the boy cry out, not once did he cry for someone for he knew that no one would come if he did. "Why, Why does it hurt so much.” The boy said as he clutched his head in pain as stigmata began to appear on his brow. The wind bellowed around him then playfully pulled at the tent almost inviting the boy to come out and play with it, the boy could not rise to its call due the pain in his forehead and the numerous broken bones he's suffered from his abuse that has been dealt to him while working at the circus his parents sold him to. As the child's skin turned an ashen grey he looked around him trying to understand what was happening around him. “Whom my host is a child and someone with innocence, I need to find Cross to make sure he is raised right and not taken by Road or the Black Order.” the boy said before his skin began turning back to white while the spirit relinquished control back to the child. ‘Tell me boy do know what that thing in your hand is.’ the spirit asked the boy as the child's wounds healed from fully awakening as a noah. “Who said that,” the child said, looking around for whoever said that. ‘I'm in your head boy, I am the previous 14th Noah Nea, and I have decided to make you my successor. If you agree to take on the mantle of the 14th noah I will protect you until you are ready to bear the responsibility alone.’ Nea said to the boy as he looked out through the child's eyes and into the outside world. “I totally lost it.” the boy said with worry obvious in the eyes. ‘No you haven't now answer my question boy do you know what is in your left hand.’ Nea screamed at the child from inside his head. “Ok that reassuring and yes I do know it's a curse that caused my parents to abandon me.” the boy said as he decided to humor the disembodied voice. “It is a fragment of innocence, they are used to destroy demons made by the 1st noah Adam the false king. You child are the new 14th noah the true king of the noah.’ Nea told the child ‘now are you willing to take my deal and become the new 14th noah.’ “if it means I don't have to work here at the circus I'll accept.” the child said while looking through the gap in the tent he was in. ‘good now let me give you the memories of the 14th Noah. With this you can control demons, and my ark.’ so hang on kid its gonna hurt.
