Decision

After the little event between Asia and Dulio, the three can now be seen sitting near the pond.

"Has there been some things happening lately, Asia?" Luke asked

Asia looked back at him with a confused expression but replied shortly after, "No, everything's been as usual. Why do you ask, big brother?"

Luke stayed silent for a bit before deciding to finally explain things more clearly to Asia. "Haa...I should explain to you some things, Asia. Then for starters, recently you awakened an ability to heal others right?"

"Yes...That's also why, the children of the orphanage avoid me." Asia's head lowered

"Then let's start with that, your ability to heal came from a sacred gear inside you." Luke said then pointed at Dulio. "He's the same as you, he also awakened a sacred gear but it's different from you. It's more for combat than anything."

Asia subconsciously glanced at Dulio. The latter nodded before creating some small sparks of lighting on his hand. This sight surprised Asia as her mouth opened wide.

"Now let's continue, sacred gears are also known as God's Artifacts, are items with powerful abilities bestowed upon humans by God. They were supposed to be tools so humans can fight and protect themselves from other supernatural crearures but half-human hybrids also have chances in getting one. Sacred gears come in many types with a variety of abilities. Yours is called twilight healing which is a healing type sacred gear. As for Dulio's, his sacred gear is a bit more unique as it is one of the longinuse type sacred gears." Luke stopped for a bit to let Asia digest the information.

.....

"So I'm not a monster who can heal like what others say?" Asia's voice trembled as tears welled up in her eyes.

Luke sighed and hugged her head on his chest. Asia then cried out while Luke patted her. Dulio on the other hand was silently watching this happening.

Few minutes later, the crying stopped. "Finally calmed down?" Luke asked

"Mm" Asia nodded

"Then continuing on, I actually want to ask you a question Asia. Do you want to go with me to move away from here?" Luke finally told his intentions.

"But why?"

"Haaa...Actually, being a sacred gear user is both a blessing and a curse. It's because ylu will be a beacon for those that wants to use you for their own benefit. Examples of this are the devils which can reincarnate humans or other creatures except god and buddhas into devils. So I wanted to get you away from here as you could be targetted." Luke explained, "Dulio was also the same situation as you. He also awakened his sacred gear then immediately brought away from the orphabage he came from."

"Ah...mm!" Asia wanted to talk but in the end stated silent. Her mind remembered the things Luke explained to her.

After a few minutes more of thinking, "I-I'll go with big brother Luke..."

Her decision brought a smile towards Luke and Dulio's face. "Great, don't worry Asia, you will have many friends in the place I'll take you to. If you have problems, you can got to me or if I'm not there, Dulio will help you."

"That's right, Asia. Don't worry, all kids there will not discriminate against you for having a sacred gear, in fact they'll welcome ypu greatly. Remember, you're not a monster but just a girl blessed by God." Dulio chimed in

"Thank you..." Asia said softly

"Then let's just enjoy this day. How about I bring you two to meet my father?" Luke suggested

"Your father? Now that I think about it, I still have many things I don't know about you, big brother." Dulio said towards Luke, the latter smiled awkwardly.

That's right, even though Dulio and Luke have been friends for a while now, the former still don't know Luke's true identity. And he doesn't want to reveal it now but maybe in the future. After all his identity is a bit special.

"Now that I remember, I can't tell you that now, I'm sorry. So my previous suggestion can't be done but maybe I can show you around Italy. We could also get Grandpa Vasco to accompany us." Luke smiled at them apologetically.

"It's okay" Dulio nodded along with Asia.

"Then Asia, don't be surprise okay?" With a cheeky smile, Luke used teleportation magic to get to Vatican.

....

"Wow, what was that big brother?!" Asia exclaimed after they teleported to Vatican.

Luke laughed, "Haha that's called teleportation magic. I'll teach you in the future..." His voice trailed off by the end as he saw a tall and muscular old man walking towards them.

A smile graced his face as he called out excitedly, "Grandpa Vasco, good timing!" Luke waved his hand towards the old man.

Meanwhile, Asia hid behind Luke while peeking towards Vasco. Dulio on the other hand, bowed in respect.

"Oh Luke, it seems you've visited Dulio. And who might this little girl be?" Vasco lowered himself and looked towards Asia with a soft expression.

"Asia, this is Grandpa Vasco. And grandpa, this is Asia Argento, a friend of mine." Luke said, "Then grandpa, are you free?"

"Yes, are we going out again?" Vasco asked casually as he was already used to Luke asking him to accompany him while going out.

"If you're free grandpa, I have a place I recently discovered and I want to show you." Luke said with a cheeky smile. He then turn towards Asia, "Asia do want to see the sea?"

Hearing Luke, Asia's eyes brightened. The sane goes for Dulio who gained an excited expression.

After all these two were still kids, no matter how mature they are compared to their age just like Dulio and Luke, in the end they're still kids.

"Haha looks like this two are excited. Alright then, let's go!" Vasco chuckled

Luke nodded and used teleportation magic again. A few moments later, they appeared on a sandy beach with the clear sea in front of them.

"This is an island I recently discovered when I was exploring near Italy. We can enjoy ourselves here for today." Luke explained before thinking of something. "Ah right please wait for me, I will just go get us some food." he continued before teleporting away.

"Looks like it's just us three for now. Then we should change our clothes first." Vasco said getting the attention of the two. He then snapped his finger and viola, his and the other two children's clothes changed.

(AN: Remember this is AU. Also Vasco used magic.)

Vasco's new attire consists of a red hawaiian shirt with floral design and shorts. As for the children, Dulio got shorts and shirt. For Asia, a white summer dress.

"If you want to play in the water, just go. I'll watch over you, don't worry." Vasco said

"Thank you!" After saying so, the two kids ran towards the sea and played in the water. Vasco on the other hand watched them play while surveying the place.

....

AN: And that's all for now, my mind is tired due to school work and only finished this chapter today.
