𝔞𝔤𝔞𝔦𝔫. (Xiao x Adeptus Reader)

𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔭𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔱𝔴𝔬

([A/T] = Adeptus Title) ([A/N] = Adeptus Name) ([Y/N] = Your Name)

Alatus/Xiao POV:

Peace. That was something I never got in life. I got close, yes, but I never achieved pure peace. Maybe life wasn't peaceful, maybe life was full of interesting twists and turns, surprises, if you will. 

And maybe I am right. Because I sure was in for a big surprise.

While I was resting I had a certain nightmare. This nightmare wasn't exactly new. I had experienced this nightmare before. I keep having the same nightmare over and over again. I despise this nightmare, because it brings back a certain set of memories that I'd do a lot to completely forget. 

It was the memories of the day I murdered one of my own.

[𝔫𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔪𝔞𝔯𝔢] 

I opened my eyes to see what I hated myself for most in this world. [A/N] on the ground in a puddle of their own blood with my spear plunged trough their body. I would always look down at my hands and see [Y/N]'s black blood on them. Then I would kneel down to their lifeless body and run my hands over their face. After that I would hear the same words over and over and over 𝔞𝔤𝔞𝔦𝔫. 

"It's your fault."

"All your fault."

"You're at fault here."

"This is your doing."

The worst part was that these voices belong to the past Yakshas. Bosacius, Bonanus, Indarias and Menogias. 

Then the 6th Yaksha, [A/N], would open their eyes and look disappointed at me. 

"How could you..?"

I woke up bathing in my own sweat, feeling nothing but guilt. I realized it was daytime and that I had a duty to fulfill. I got up and started putting my accessories on. I took my spear and headed out. Where to, I didn't know. I decided to ask Verr Goldet if she had heard any news of demons I had to take care of. 

"Good morning, Xiao!" she happily greeted.

"Greetings, I was wondering if you have any demons you need taking care of."

"Hmm, well there has been news of a suspicious looking creature, potentially a demon."

"Tell me more." 

"Well, people say it can speak our language and it takes the form of a tall human figure... but that's just what I've heard, you know how we humans always exaggerate!"

"Rest assured. I will investigate this matter."

"Alright, good luck! Oh, and if you see my husband tell him to meet me in the kitchen!" she shouted after me.

"Will do."

And with that I left. A mysterious creature huh?
