Road arrived at Tyki's door but didn't bother to knock, nope, she instead used her door to enter his room without even the slightest sound made from her. As she walked through her door and appeared in his room she willed the door to close and disappear. She hopped on his bed and playfully started to giggle.

"You know there's a door there right," Her uncle announced, not taking his eyes off the book in one hand as he pointed at his door behind him with the other.

Road ignored what her uncle had said and continued to swing her legs back and forth against the bed, "Tyki, I have some good news!" she started to hum a tune that was, for some time now, stuck in her head. Tyki closed the book in his hand and gently set it on the table beside him. He looked up at his niece, "well?"

Road stopped swinging her legs and fell backward against the mattress of the bed. She looked up at the ceiling, a smile perched against her lips. Tyki looked up at her, confused. He hadn't seen Road this excited- besides that one time where she kissed Allen- in a long time. He laid his chin on top of his hand, his elbow against the table supporting his weight.

"Are you going to tell me or leave me in suspense?" He asked, looking bored.

Road rolled her eyes playfully and hummed, "Allen has finally awakened to his Noah," as soon as she announced that, Tyki shot up from his seat, looking shocked yet excited. He knew the Earl would be thrilled in hearing the good news, but Sheril, his brother Noah of Desire, would not take the news well. He knew his brother had a desire to kill the Fourteenth after what he had done seven millennia. He had destroyed everyone's memories, which they had to live through the pain of the memories resurfacing again.

Tyki moved across the room and sat down next to Road on his bed. He let out a sigh in frustration, moving a hand to his face and closing his eyes.

"You know that some of our family members want to destroy the Fourteenth for what he had pulled all those years ago..." Road moved and sat up, looking at her uncle, "I do know this. He had a clear motive in doing what he had done to all of you... he was hurting Tyki." Road replied, whispering the last part. Voice filled with sadness at the memory.

Tyki never knew the details of what happened that day but Road knows and kept it hidden for millennia. He only knew about half of what she knew yet it wasn't much to understand the motive the Fourteenth had. Tyki moved his hand, looking up at the ceiling trying to find some answers there, "Are you going to tell me what motivated him into doing what he did or are you still not willing to share, Road?" Tyki started, "I'm the only one out of all our family members who you've told some of the information too," He moved his gaze to his niece, watching her slowly start to move her legs back and forth as she looked down, "it's not my place to say." she said.

"As for the Earl, he can't know the true reason behind what the Fourteenth had done, for now anyway."

He nodded, understanding what she meant. So he decided to ask another question, "What's the Fourteenth's name then?

Road smiled, "his name..." she looked up at her uncle, "his name is Nea Walker, also known as, Nea D. Campbell." Tyki froze, he remembered the name, somewhere deep in his Noah memories, a name he knew millennia ago, but his memories were still fuzzy.

He shrugged it off and rose, "let's go check on Shounen."

Allen began to stir, groaning in pain. His body was oddly relaxed more than usual. He sat up, body aching as he did. Moving a hand, he brushed his bangs off his wet skin stopping as he caught a glimpse of his hand. It had changed into a darker color than his normal skin tone. He pushed off the bed, body still aching, and made his way to the mirror on the wall as he started to examine himself closely. He was shocked to see that he looked less like his usual self and more like a Noah. Still having his white hair like Wisely, but his skin was the color of umber. His eyes were now gold but not like any gold the Noah had seen. They were special. Gold mixed with his natural silver eye color, which made his eyes pop out beautifully.
