"I will say one thing. You gave me a beautiful name before throwing me away. Hikari is my name... father." the now-named Hikari said before going quiet.

Hikari? She is my daughter? I threw her away after using her as an experiment. Did I really care so little for her?

These thoughts went through my head before I shook my head clearing the thoughts. Even if Hikari was my daughter, I have my family that I remember to worry about. Looking back at Ravel who still looked to be in all ash, I was overcome with sadness.

"I'm sorry." I said to her before running out of the room to search for Asia and Eri.

Ravel POV:

It's dark. Why does it feel so cold? What happened? I remember drinking the vial Mavros gave me. Did I die? It sure hurt enough for it. I don't feel dead. I can still feel my body.

Moving my body I felt something crumble off of me before my vision was filled with light. Sitting up more stuff started falling off of me. I was still on my knees and looking around the room. My senses were stronger than ever before when I was a devil. I could see every crevice with my eyesight and any tiny movement in the room. It honestly was a little jarring.

Looking down around my knees I saw a grey substance and touched it. It crumbled to the touch but I knew what it was. I've seen it several times when my brother was burning things to get stronger. It was ash.

I stood up out of the ash and realized I felt stronger. It was something I could have never had felt when I was a devil. Every fiber of my being felt like magic. Like my body was sculpted out of it. The magic reserves I felt like I could pull from was double than I was as a devil, but I felt more deep down. Like a bottomless pit with no end, no, it ended just as vast. Why do I feel more magic and how do I access it?

I summoned my wings and examined them and noticed they were no longer any trace of my devil heritage. I almost looked like an angel. My wings weren't black or white though. They were made of feathers and like they were stitched together with flames. Beautiful I thought.

I looked around the room and noticed I was alone. "Where did everyone go?" I said out loud.

Eri POV:

He was supposed to protect us. The stupid cringy oath he said to us when we joined his peerage was all a lie. Using us as just experiments in the pursuit of power. I thought that finally, I could have a family that wouldn't hurt or abandon me.

Am I always going to be alone? What does Fate have against me? What did I do wrong? I couldn't help but start crying while walking through the school. I was rubbing my eyes trying to stop the tears that kept flowing when I ran into someone.

"Sorry." I said walking around without looking at the person. I felt someone grab me before I could walk away.

"Look at these guys. The animal is crying over something. Should we help her out?" a man's voice said, causing me to look up with tearful eyes in confusion.

"Maybe we should remove what makes her an animal. Definitely make her happier than she is now. She won't have to worry about discrimination anymore." another voice said with a laugh.

"I agree." two other guys dragged me into a room before I could stop them.

They shut the door and locked it before I could say anything. I still had tears in my eyes, but I wasn't sad anymore, just scared and confused.

"Um, what is going on?" I asked them, confused.

"Oh, look, the animal speaks. They can learn." the man who grabbed me said. "What should we do guys?"

"I don't know about you Cardin, but I think she is kind of cute. Let's show her a good time." another one of the men said.

"You know Russel, normally I would be appalled at that thought, but she looks human enough only to have this horn that makes her non-human. I agree." Cardin said.

"Um, I don't know what is going on and my brother always tells me to stay away from strangers. I'm going to leave" I said walking to the door.

I was stopped and pushed back further into the room.

"You are not going anywhere. Strip." I was told by Cardin.

I was confused why he wanted me to strip and was getting nervous and my horn started glowing to show this. I saw they looked at it in confusion before Cardin grabbed his mace and swung it at me. Not expecting the swing he hit my horn and I heard a crack go through the room before I fell backward from the swing.

I collapsed on the ground dizzy and looked back toward them in shock and saw my horn on the ground. I felt something flowing down my forehead. Touching my hand to my forehead I looked at it and saw blood on it.

Looking back up at Cardin, Russel, and the other two men in shock and confusion. I saw Cardin put his mace down before they all started to get undressed.

What are they doing? What did I do wrong? Do I deserve this for saying I hate, Papa? Papa, I'm sorry, save me.
