《Crimson Moon》Ch 53 uneven emotions

Manami POV
I woke up startled by the smell of cooked meat. I gulped my mouth as I saw the black haired girl with purple eyes smile at me.
"This is Iona she saved us. Manami she said you might be able to eat food but it's got to be cooked to almost mid rare. It has to have a lot of blood and not be cooked completely but look the part of being cooked though I don't get it." (Ember)
I look around to see Jessica is taking a bath in a corner.
"Sorry the snowstorm might be my fault." (Iona)
"What do you mean."
"I have no control but disasters and unusual things follow me wherever. Just think nothing of it." (Iona)
"As if your cursed."
"Not exactly but it's similar to it but not exactly right. But think of it how your like, I've had it for centuries so I'm used to it. Just I had to move around constantly because of it, staying too long can also be bad. For example if I wasn't in this pseudo dungeon and outside in the forest or mountains this climate would've killed the animals in hibernation from starvation. Whereas monsters here adjust to it." (Iona)
She didn't sound like she enjoyed it but why didn't she look for a way to fix it.
"If I looked for a way to fix myself I wouldn't be me Manami. This thing is how I'm born removing it means removing my reasoning or what I am. I was born of negative energy those things effect my surroundings. Corrupt emotions from humans and different race, that's what makes me who I am. Erasing it equals denying my very being. It maybe the ugly truth but it's me. You may say it's a curse, I say it's also a gift to live with it but I don't have anyone to be with me like those opposites of my race, born of life energy. They're born in groups." (Iona)
I stared at her confused but she gave me a wry smile as if to say one day you'll understand me.
Yia POV
I watched the angel Aist disappointed. Are all angels like this? Was only Niana's children the only ones that didn't disappoint me. He's thinking of getting revenge after ascending again. But that's the thing we stripped him of even that fate when we casted him down. If he changes for the better maybe we can change it back to normal.
The way he was raised caused him to turn into a control freak. Wanting things to come easily into his hands. Dying isn't my option is what I heard him say. I shook my head this is heavenly karma little boy. You maybe 90,000 and your sister's younger than you but do know that you'll age now.

She didn't tattle like you thought she did. Rather she tried her best to cover for you. Then when all else failed she felt there was no choice but to deliver the grave news to her mother and grandmother. We fates don't change fates nor create them. They're created when a soul comes into being, then when reborn that fate just changes to fit the container's circumstances. That's why people are born without past memories with the exception of Phoenixes and the 2 souls time sent down. The latter two are special since their fates are ever changing.
"Can't you tell them you've been listening to me. Your also afraid that your people would notice how close our faces are, you covered your face knowing this." (Setsuna)
"Shut up you're just a fallen angel now." (Yia)
"With 8 wings yes. Disaster class. But me being sealed in you isn't that bad." (Setsuna)
"You killed a ruler of hell and heaven. Then became a fallen that's about to change to a demon." (Yia)
"Correction I wanted to change to a demon. Hima said I suited a life of a demon anyway since I don't follow orders from the god that ruled us angels. But here's the little thing no one knows I'm a 14 winged angel. I just sealed the rest of my wings so imagine if I turned into a devil willingly. There'd be rippled all over the worlds and chaos afterwards. Though here's the thing I won't be the one to undo this seal. You'll be willing to one day." (Setsuna)
"Your wrong! I'm not like that. I won't destroy the worlds." (Yia)
"The choice will come quickly by then you'll have no choice." (Setsuna)
"I don't wish to hear that from you." (Yia)
"Says the girl that's like a doll that can't even set her emotions right. For me Hima was the one looked up to Hina was my sister I wanted to protect yet neither were able to even though I was a 14 winged angel. Do you know that 14 means world eaters. That's the term that gods use and they'd kill the angel right away. On birth. What does that tell you about me sealing my other wings and showing my 8 wings only. Do you know that a 14 winged angel can evolve into a 20 winged angel. But doing so they have to turn to a devil first then look for a way to revert back. Though that's the fun part." (Setsuna)
"You're insane." (Yia)
"Says the girl that I've been with since birth. I know you betterment than yourself. You'll help me. After all you saw what the 578th angels do with Hina's corpse that the 2nd gen did that to. You investigated it yourself didn't you." (Setsuna)

I threw up at the mere mention of the corpse of Hina. To honor her the 2nd generation she gave birth to call her mother of all angels, which in a sense is true. But they preserved her body and put it inside a stone they casted the casing over her body. Her body is still there but it was disgusting how they used her body like that. I threw up remembering all the detailed papers.
"Aww I said remember not the process that they used for the statue." (Setsuna)
You freaking reminded me of it then say forget it.
"What about Hima." (Setsuna)
"The demons put her body into a catacomb along with her family members that died. Her body is in tact." (Yia)
"Perfect I can do a perfect resurrection after healing the battle wounds." (Setsuna)
"But you do know reviving them is fine and all since those two won't reincarnate since they worry about you. Though Hina will be angry at seeing you turned into a devil. Hima will just be shocked. Once I unseal you that process will start though won't it." (Yia)
"No worries if I turn to a devil. You'll be the one to look for a way to revert it." (Setsuna)
"You did raise me most of my life and gave me advice on how to use my powers." (Yia)
She went silent after that. I looked back at Aist through his fate. Does such a cold and self person like this need a 3rd chance. His 2nd time was just before he corrupted the elven mother, his sister begged us to give her more time to persuade him but he didn't even listen. Now the elf mother is reborn here among our race confused why she has to attend the gates to other people's fates. She's been put under my guidance.
"Amaya what did you mean back then when you first saw me when you were little Manami." (Yia)
"She did ask are you enjoying yourself. 'Is life fun for you? What do you see in others? How do you wish for others to see you? What's your wish? Why does your soul seem to cry so much? Are you in pain?' Those were her exact words. But you've been pondering since. I'll give you a hint now since you don't get one of them. Your in your soul form yet she saw your soul in it's unseen form. You saw others fates yet you cry for them when they are sad or in pain. So she had to ask you these questions through soul telepathy without getting caught by Manami nor allow Manami to see her at the time. Now here's my question why is so many linked to her yet at the same time not. Watch their fates and see for yourself. Her enemy is Everistel remember that." (Setsuna)
I blinked confused at Setsuna's advice. I stared at Ember's mother.
"Your new name is Rea. As in Reason. Since your last life has been lost due to a god's selfishness. You're here because your soul has been tainted beyond redemption. Those that can't be reincarnated into the life cycle are here to guard the gates and guide others of their past mistakes before going to their next life. This is your new role until you can be reborn. It can be centuries or eons. Remember this wasn't something you yourself wanted but someone pushed on you." (Yia)
"Can I go back. I still have two daughters that I care about." (Rea)
"So your finally yourself, instead someone controlled by that former god." (Yia)
Rea looked at me horrified as she realized everything that happened to her and cried. I stood there awkwardly because I never had a child even once. I made that vow with the resolve to not let others have my ability. I had a special ability that Setsuna discovered when I was 18. It allows me to see and re experience a person's fate but if I had a child they'd inherit this ability. This ability is a mental strain and afternoon the use my body would be in pain with cuts all over and the pain would intensify when used too often. They'd ask me to marry cause the ability would help them. It helps looks into the past that sometimes we Fates can't even look into cause the fate is locked to us. Normal means aren't allowing us in but my ability could go against that.
I've lived too long too. I lost count after age 900. The years went too quick after that. I just smile stiffly at Rea as I picked her up and hugged her.
"There there, those memories are yours but you had no control."
She cried like a broken dam until she fell asleep, Aist the former god was a disappointment even after meeting him in person. Amaya why do you bring people together indirectly. Who are you before you met Time. Your fate says your older than him. What are you really.

Beatrice Santello
An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.
