Chapter 23 ~ James route 9 ~ The song that crosses worlds

''This suffering is never going to end is it...'' I said as I brushed the hair on James' face. I gave him a kiss to transfer the last energy I could muster. His breathing became more steady but he would no longer be able to fight. Just like everyone else. James, Erik and Damien grunted softly in pain and Waltz was not able to fight anymore either. I watched the Demonlord who was still approaching. At this point, I only saw one option. I looked at James with a smile. I did not want to do this but enough people had died already. It had to stop.

''For a long time I had thought that the world betrayed me. My mother and father left me. After a while Waltz left me too. The family I had moved in with as well when a plague killed almost everyone in its path. Almost killed by a person I was affectionate to. Again, I was alone. I did not feel vengeful but I could no longer handle the thought of people leaving or betraying me again. I did not exactly felt like I had a reason left to live either. I forgot my purpose. But when things even got worse you and your brothers were there for me. Damien, Sam, Matthew, Erik, James. Despite the situation I was in the smiling me had returned. I did not know it but I had become cold as ice. Because of all of you I managed to actually return to be the person I once was. But when escaping failed and I stayed behind, I did had a purpose which was seeing you all again. And I did. I even got to see you again Waltz despite all odds. And James, the love you gave me was warm. Never have I felt so alive. I realised that nobody can live alone. It seems obvious but it was something I forgot even though it is important to know.'' I said and looked at Erik and James laying on the ground struggling to move. ''[___]...'' James whispered and I looked away. ''It is embarrassing to say actually but let me say it regardless. Thank you. All of you. For standing by my side.'' I smiled and tears started to run over my cheeks. ''[_2_] what are you...'' Waltz said softly. ''My true name. It is fitting I suppose, hearing my name after I was born. And hearing it before I die.'' the words I spoke shocked all of them. ''No! Don't you dare!'' Damien said. ''I promise. I will protect all of you with everything I have left and restore what has been destroyed.'' I wiped my tears away. ''To bad. I used to think I had lived long enough but now, I wish I had more time.'' I felt fear but also knew I had to do this. Killing the Demonlord would not be enough. He would possess his body again or what was left of it. Heck perhaps even that of his own sons if his own became useless. I had to destroy his very soul. With a sigh I made the remaining half of the golden fruit appear. ''You are right. I did need this.'' I said and finished it, tossing the centre aside.

''Whatever you are thinking... don't...'' Waltz said as he tried to get up. ''I have little choice. It's my job right? Protecting this place. So Waltz, one request. When things are over and I don't make it... make sure nobody remembers me. Goodbye, brother. And James. I love you.'' I said and walked through the barrier towards the Demonlord making sure that they could not follow me. I could hear James telling me to stop and ask what I was going to do but I didn't look back. Instead I stood still not far from the Demonlord and dropped my demon form. A white light covered my body like a spreading flame revealing black armor with golden accents over black clothes. Two pair of wings came from my back. One set batlike, the other angel wings.

''You were supposed to lead this world. Protect it. But you failed at doing so. You have destroyed this world and most of the people who live in it. I will not allow you to continue what you are doing.'' I said and sighed. Thank you... mother. For performing the ritual to become what you are now while you were carrying me. Now, I can use that power to restore what has been destroyed' the static energy in the air which the Demonlord used to manipulate the iron dust was still there and I was aware of the sword created with it. But I was not going to let him reach me. I took a deep breath and released a single tone that made the Demonlord stop moving and drop the lightning magic he used causing the sword to disappear as well. He covered his ears. A song to destroy souls. There was none so I figured that the best option was to make one myself to fit the purpose. Even if it would result in me committing the worst taboo ever. I would be surprised if there were no repercussions for this. I took a deep breath and sang the words. Not in Archangel language, I had no time to figure out which words I would have to use for that. But every word I was going to sing now, would have every bit of my remaining power woven into it. As long as I kept focussing on that, it would work.
