4 Death City
Ha~

Ha~

The sun's laughter rings hollowly in the background outside Sid's Jeep. We left early in the morning on the following day and a few hours have passed already. Needle village wasn't too far from Death City. It was built in Nevada, USA.
The story went something like the world was protected by Lord Death and seven other deities but he was betrayed by his apprentice and became a Kishin, spreading madness into the world. So Lord Death sealed him and created this city.
A lot of powerful people's interests align to make sure the city is successful and as a result, powerful meisters that help protect their country, as well as themselves, are created year after year.
Sid: "It's coming up here."
I look forward from my musing and see a huge highway cutting through the vast desert that is Nevada, and an impossibly big construction.
Ryoku: "woah"
'Woah' is right. The D.W.M.A. Death weapon meister academy. It looked big in the anime and comics but this is insane.
Delving through the streets of strange old style European designs and uneven architecture, we soon arrive at a brand new logging house. The Sign reads, "Death's Kids".
"Nice place." I state out loud as Sid parks the car.
Sid: "Lord Death wants the children here to feel like they have a family. Even though he can't replace the ones you have lost, he hopes to at least mend the hole in their and both of your hearts."
"..." I don't respond to this. Very kind of Death to do that though, and from what I know from the anime, that sounds like something he'd do. He got really soft after he founded DWMA. He'd probably say something like "for the children's smile". He used to be a badass when he was guardian of the world, with a cool mask to boot. Now though, he just karate chops people with a ridiculous big hand.
We enter the building to be greeted with the door chime sounding yet inside is silent. The floors are clean, the walls are perfectly painted white, and the furniture looks pristine. Is this really an orphanage?
???: "Hello! Sorry, be there soon!" said a feminine voice from inside.
Thump thump thump
Stomping around the corner we see a slightly better than average, fair skinned lady. She had light taupe hair which she keeps in short pigtails on her shoulders, green eyes, a white blouse, red striped tie, red plaid skirt and long black socks. Most noticeable feature is her swollen belly…
She had a unique atmosphere or should I say her aura? It feels firm yet warm…
???: "Oh my! We have two new visitors, how may I help you today Sid and Mira?"
Sid: "Hello Marianne, We came to give you the first two residents of the new orphanage."
Mira: "They should make good company as well with this one little one you're carrying." She smiled while giving Marianne a hug followed by gently patting her belly.
Marianne: "Wonderful! We just finished cleaning this place and I don't know if I can help again in the following months."
Mira: " How much longer do you have till your due date?"
Marianne: "About two months now! I'm so excited! Hehe, Spirit and I are finally making our own family. Dear! We have guests!"
Around the corner comes another new face. A young 18 year old man appears with his facial features consisting of red shoulder length hair and green eyes. He wears a tucked in olive green button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a white rag on his head to catch sweat, black blazer pants and black ankle socks.
I narrow my eyes at this new person. He's different. Not like us at all, more like Mira. A weapon? But he has a more potent feel, like if he's complete. Kind of danger-
Spirit: "Hiya everybody! Hahahaha!" he said with a face only a mother could love. Why does his laugh make me want to hit him? Good thing my -Calm State- is still on. Dangerous, him? Must have been my imagination.
Marianne: "Honey! Say hi to our two new residents, ooh It feels like our family is growing before our little one is even born."
Spirit steps up next to Marianne and he calmly introduces himself.
Spirit: "Hello, My name is Spirit Albarn and this is my wife, Marianne Albarn. What are your names?" He said while looking at both of us.
'!' Very important characters have shown up all of a sudden. What is Lord Death's Death scythe and an elite meister doing at an orphanage? Is it because she's pregnant? Wait Albarn? So it's Maka in there huh.
I glance at Ryoku and he looks back at me a little nervous but also getting comfortable by the warm atmosphere.
Ryoku: "My name is Ryoku Nazario. I'm 5 years old!" He beams out with energy. His hands are by his side like he's in the military.
Spirit: "Good introduction! Nice to meet you Ryoku-kun! And you, my quiet little friend?" The two newlyweds are looking at me intently. I felt a small sensation on my skin, like I'm being peaked at? Similar to how it felt when Mira was looking at me. What is that? I don't like it…
The silence feels like hours and the prying feeling gets more intense until finally…
'Stop it' fmoom~ I felt a small sensation bubbling out from underneath and layered on my skin. I don't feel that annoying sensation anymore. Nice.
Everyone but Ryoku: "!"
"My name is Endo Shohei. 5 years old." I state plainly.
--------------------
(A/n: So a lot happened here. I introduced main cast parents Spirit and MARIANNA. I'll shorten it to Mari later, and just so yall know, Maka's mothers name is Unknown. So I'll make it up.
Black✰star is around 5 months older than Maka and he's still a newborn here, so Mari is maybe 7 months pregnant. I'm not sure if I want to make spirit so much of the scum he is in the anime, we'll see.
Wonder what happened with the prickly skin sensation 0.0? )
