As I fell from that tree, Kit disappeared. The shadow is laughing like a maniac.

What am I?

What really am I ?!

This time, it's not like I can be in the middle of everything!

-I'm not even from this world?!-

I exist, yet I don't? That makes no sense! I'm something, but what?!

I eventually hit my back on the ground. I had fallen from great heights before but this fall shook me to the very core. I was slightly trembling even though I felt nothing. In the meantime, the shadow is leisurely taking its time coming to me as more thoughts came into my head.

-Where did I really come from?-

-Who am I?-

-Why am I here?-

-Why me?-

-Why...?-

-What is even happening...

My already irregular breathing starts getting deeper and deeper. Calmer and calmer.

...

Time passes as the shadow's humming becomes as loud as my thoughts. I can't really think anymore.

The shadow approaches its face to the point where I could smell it. It smells bad. It smells like a rotten corpse. A corpse that has been rotting for at least a decade. It's disgusting.

(Devouring monster)

-I don't... But I feel it...-

I'm slowly losing myself. It's weird, now it's as if I had never existed.

-It'll just go on I guess.-

I started to accept my fate... But...

*Thud*

Noemi's body falls to the ground and a gorgeous lady in front of her. Noemi is clearly unconscious but the lady doesn't seem to care with it's back turned to her.

Noemi and this lady are completely different. While one is a petite girl, the other is a luxurious lady. One has purple hair, the other has golden hair. The ladie's eyes are covered by a blindfold but I feel like they have a deep sky blue color, I don't even know why I feel like that.

But above all, they both have the same presence. I can't begin to explain it but it's the same.

She snaps her fingers and light bursts from out of nowhere, making the shadow back off. Not only the shadow but every living being starts running away from the light...

«AAAAGH!» (Devouring monster)

Yet it's resonating with me. It feels pleasant and nostalgic.

After the flash of light, the lady had already disappeared along with Noemi's body.

It was weird... Just like a dream... Yet it meant so much.

I have never been Human or demon. Never been anything other than...

A nostalgic voice whispers inside my head...

(World)

-Something like that I guess. I've never been anything other than what I really am. I don't fucking care anymore at this point. I have shit to do.-

The corners of my lips curl up. It looks scary but at this point, I just don't care about anything other than going forward.

-I am THE ONE! God damn it, I'm pumped!-

I walk back into the city, not even noticing that my body had suddenly not only grown a little bit taller, but my hair and eyes had become a bit lighter.

While Noemi was looking at some stalls, she was startled by a sudden fox that suddenly jumped from a portal. Her look went from surprised to grim after a few seconds.

«Sav...» (Kit)

Kit couldn't even finish his first word before Noemi left.

«On it.» (???)

The voice wasn't Noemi's. It was much softer and seductive. She had no time to lose, both she and the fox knew very well what the shadow had been trying. Kit knew all that very well. His choice was the right one and at the right time.
