Core Pride and Innocent Sorrow

Chapter 1- God's Most Beloved Child

Core Pride

After birth people live as they wish

They learn the black box in their head; is that bliss?

Just crossover, beyond the line of your limit

Let's go, take a step, and I mean this minute

Life's a bitch, so if it's easy, you're doing it wrong

Stop, which way is the world going? Then ignore it and go wherever (Here we go)

There are things I could never have, things with time

Is there a reason I force my heart upon them?

I never tried to understand, I just forced it on them

I'm no better than those lifeless adults

Even if it's just a pipe dream I could never have

But no one can put out the fire in my heart

The black rain may pour hard and leave me drenched

But I know I can change, I will change myself

This is my pride what makes up my core

I won't let my fire be put out; not yet

I'll keep going, and I'll never stop

Innocent Sorrow

Flooding into the wound in my heart, comes pain in the dark

That feeling of being connected as we came together melts away

In the delirium of my unrelenting fever, I can't even hear the final voice

Don't cry! When I held you tight, you were trembling

Gently, hold my raised hand

Surely, I've been searching for the everlasting miracle that is you

Firmly, lay your hand upon me

Ever and never end

You set me free so far away

Purple gloved fingers glided across the black and white keys of the dark wood piano. The player was a boy with amazingly white hair though his age appeared to be 13-15 years. The beautiful music the boy played even made the grown men in the bar cry heavy tears. His voice was sweet and tender as he sang a song along with his playing. The bartender nodding in approval as served drinks to the tearing men.

Soshite Bouyaha nemurini tsuite

Ikizuku haino nakano hono o hitotsu, futatsuto

Ukabu fukurami itashi yokogao

The boy's name is Allen Walker. He is the last exorcist of the Black Order. He fought in a war with the Millennium Earl and defeated the earl himself. That war ended 150 years ago. All of his friends had died. Most of them had died by old age but a few others like Master Cross and Tappa had died during the war. He assumed that they were all dead by now though. The reason why Allen was still alive was because of the 14th. He had sealed away the 14th inside of him to stop it from taking over. It was only occasionally that he would hear from his Noah. Now only accompanied by Timcanpy Allen travelled around the world as a street performer destroying akuma left over from the war and to pay off any remaining debts that his master owed. This was one of the places that fell into both those categories.
