Chapter Text
Asta POV
"HOW COULD YOU ASTA!" Noelle screamed at me with tears in her eyes. "Wha- I didn't do that!?" I pleaded as the other Black Bulls and Golden Dawn watched me with pure hatred in their eyes. "Yuno!" I look at him, trying to get him to help me.
He just looks at the ground, eyes watery. "We know you did it, Asta," he says, struggling to say the words. I can feel his betrayal pierce my heart.
I can't believe that they would think I caused that. Did they really think that lowly of me? "You need to die for what you've done" Captain Yami said before pulling out his katana. "IM TELLING YOU ALL I DIDN'T DO THAT!" I yelled, but nobody listened to me.
I could feel my eyes start to well up with tears as the black bulls and the golden dawn approached me, grimoires ready to kill me. I slowly back away, taking out the demon dweller and my first sword, getting into a fighting stance.
I knew that I could never beat them all, so my best chance was to flee. How could they do this to me!? Why won't they believe me!?
"I'm not lying! Believe me!" a strangled cry escapes my throat. They still don't believe me.
"PLEASE!" I cry out, watching them advance on me.
Captain Yami stops 10 ft in front of me before pointing his katana at me. "Now it's time for you to die," he looks at me with utter hatred and contempt in his eyes. "you monster".

I slowly walked inside the forest, my intestines hanging out of me. I could feel myself slowly dying from all my wounds. My heart rate started to slow, and my eyes were too dry to cry anymore. I can't believe they would do this to me. They would have killed me had I not escaped. They were the monsters. Monsters. MONSTERS.
And Yuno. How could he? He said he would love me forever! That he would always stay by my side...
I fall to my knees, coughing up clumps of blood. My arms wrap around my midsection, feeling my intestines on my bare skin. I'm going to die. And it's all their fault.
My vision darkened around the edges, and my life started to replay. All my memories flashing before my eyes. My life. Maybe... Maybe I should die. Maybe I can be reborn with mana, and have a family who would truly love me. Maybe someone who would truly stay by my side.

Zenon POV
I was walking through the forest of Spade kingdom when I came across a dead body. He looks to be about 16? With grey hair and a black bulls robe.
I got closer and saw his grimoire. That's peculiar, he has a 5 leaf clover grimoire. I flipped him onto his back to see countless injuries on his body. Even I got a little sick looking at it.
That's whenever I noticed something.
1. Hes breathing, meaning he's somehow still alive.
And 2. He has absolutely no mama, not a single drop.
Now this is really interesting. Could he be... it? There's no harm in taking a chance.
"Take him back to the castle," Beelzebub whispers in my head. "It's him. I'm certain of it."
I felt a grin come across my face. Seems like fate was really on my side today, which is pretty ironic considering the ties he may have to it.
Maybe it was just meant to be.
