"Okay, you're starting to talk a little crazy... I know who I am, I'm Karyu, my mother raised me on her own. I may be adopted, but she's still my mom, and both of my parents are dead." Karyu said, clarifying the situation here.

"You sound like some weird ass stalker now. I don't even know you, does my mom even know you?" Karyu questioned next as he watched the strange man curiously.

Leaning back on his hands, Karyu looked up to the house, it was dark inside which meant his mother was asleep. He had to keep it down, but it was best to have the conversation outside so she couldn't be woken up by it. Looking back to the man, he got a better look at him in the porch light that was illuminating their front door. It was then that he noticed how attractive the other looked. His heart skipped a beat as he felt a soft flush paint his cheeks.

“I am not a stalker.” He sighed. “Maybe…maybe I got a little obsessed. But you need to be protected. There’s darkness out there and you aren’t protecting yourself. Someone has to do the job.”

He looked sternly at Karyu, still very much worried about the path he was going down. He acted like a demon sometimes and it troubled him. His own evil ways sometimes made it difficult to stand up and keep darkness away from Karyu, but he knew no one else would protect the Brightlord’s son. Even if it had to be a demon, someone had to do it.

“Karyu…have you ever felt…like you have powers? No, that’s not how I should put it. Have you ever felt…different?” He scratched his head. “Or maybe like there was something literally on your back?”

If his powers ever started to announce themselves, he would need serious help. J might not even be the right one for the job. But he had to know. He had to protect him at all costs.

"Well, I thank you for the protection, but it's still weird how you're stalking me." Karyu didn't like that J didn't answer his question about his mother, but when J gave him another question, he just sat there for a moment, thinking.

"Sometimes... I kind of sometimes get this painful feeling, like growing pains on in my back, by my shoulders." Karyu said as he reached back to touch where the pains had started from.

"And different how? I mean... I've always had this thing where... people are really comfortable around me. And there are a lot of times, most of the time, where I feel... well... incredibly horrible for what I do, very guilty and just... the worst. I don't know, I can't explain anything, I try to ignore it, but sometimes it won't go away."

Karyu explained before finishing it off with an aggravated sigh. Those feelings were starting to melt back again, it was always after he slept with someone, he didn't know why it affected him so greatly. It was supposed to help him relax, but it just made him feel worse. Maybe he should just give that up all together? It seemed like a good idea, he couldn't handle feeling this way anymore.

“I’m not stalking you. I’m protecting you. There is a difference, you know.” He sighed, running a hand through his hair. This was very difficult for Karyu to understand. J knew it was odd, but he had to make Karyu see. He had to trust him.

Karyu explained that he did feel pain on his back sometimes and J knew exactly what it was. Wings. A halfbreed could grow wings? Well, shit, son of the Brightlord. Of course he would have wings. It wasn’t just any other halfbreed. Karyu tried to reach behind to touch his back where the pain was. J knew exactly where it would be.

“Right here?” He asked, gently reaching out to make two parallel lines along Karyu’s shoulder blades where wings would be on another immortal. He would have wings there. A faint mark would appear if he looked, like a tattoo.

“Does it feel like…you should do what is good and right? And that bringing goodness is your chosen path in life? When you help a stranger who has slipped and fallen, do they look like they have been, gee, let me put it this way…touched by an angel?”

"Yeah, right there... It hasn't hurt in a little while, but every now and then it does. I also see these strange marks there if I look at it in the mirror, but no one else sees them..." Karyu was confused, how did J know what he was going through? It seemed that J really did know more than he did.

Sure, Karyu was a kind, helpful person, but now that he thought back to what J said, everyone seemed grateful, happy, and... well they had a strange expression that he couldn't quite pin. Maybe J was right about that. Still, it was hard for him to wrap his head around it.

"Well, I always want to help people, and they're very grateful... but... just what are you trying to get at?" Karyu asked as he looked back up to J. The pressure on his shoulders made him wince, it had started to hurt a little again, but he knew it would die down soon.

It looked like everything was oddly making sense to Karyu. J was sure it was freaking him out. J didn’t want to scare him. Even though he was sure it probably was. He sighed, not sure if he should really tell all. But he figured he probably should before the damn Brightlord shows up in all his fucking glory to announce his birthright.

“Karyu, I know this sounds insane. I know you think I’m a stalker and I just must be watching you too intently and that must be why I know these things. But that is not the case. I know who you are.” He took a deep breath and unbuttoned his shirt, turning to show his back to Karyu, where similar, deeper black marks were on his shoulder blades.

Karyu would see them because he is part immortal. Where Karyu’s marks were blue or white, J’s were a deep black. Some demons had red marks where their wings sat hidden from sight. J turned back and buttoned up his shirt again.

“I want you to trust me because I am the only one who can protect you from my kind.” He said, his eyes brutally honest. “There are those who, if they knew who and where you are, wouldn’t hesitate to kill you. The only reason you are hidden from their sight is because of the choices you make. The nightlife and the drugs and sex… but those choices need to stop. You must choose a better life. I know the conflict exists in you to do better. If you do so, I will protect you, even if it means my life. You must return to where you belong.”

He knew it was a lot to take in, but Karyu needed to hear this. He was a grown man and it was time for him to learn who he was.

Karyu was confused, what was J trying to tell him? He gasped when he saw the black marks on the elders back, they were just like his light blue ones on his own back. Listening to the elder, he gave a nod, but he was still confused. He would stop his slutting around, he didn't know how much of the guilt and horrible feeling he could take anymore anyway.

"So... what exactly are you trying to tell me? I... don't really understand. Where I belong? I belong here, with my mother and taking care of her." Karyu still wasn't clear on what J was getting at, but it had to be serious if the other said he needed protecting. From others like him? He caught that part, but he didn't understand what that meant.

"And what exactly did you mean by... others like you? This is all just... way too confusing."

“I know. It’s a lot to take in.” He felt sorry for Karyu. “I will be here to explain everything, if this is too much.”

He didn’t want to confuse him but he felt like he was already there. How to explain to someone that demons and angels were real and the threat of death was an extreme possibility for Karyu in particular because of his family?

“Karyu, I’m sorry to burden you with all this information. I know it’s a lot to take in. If you need time…I understand.” He wanted to comfort him somehow.

“I want to help you.” He pulled a slip of paper from his pocket, which had a cell phone number on it. “This is my phone number. I will always be nearby. You can always contact me. If you’re not ready for the truth now, let me know and, when you’re ready, I will tell you everything.”

Karyu took the number and looked over it before looking up to J and sitting up more on the porch. He wanted answers, and he had a feeling this was what his mother was hiding form him all along as well. She wouldn't tell him much about how she adopted him, and when he had questions about things happening to him, she couldn't give a straight answer. It bothered him, but now was the opportunity to hear it all, and he was going to take it.

"Tell me everything. Don't lie to me, don't avoid my questions, just tell me everything. I'm almost in my 30's, I'm old enough to know about who I really am." Karyu said as he stood before J, watching the elder.

"Just what am I? And what are you? How did my parents die and how did my mom come to adopt me? Don't hide anything from me."

Karyu wanted to know. He stood there, looking a little frightened, but asking for the truth. J sighed. It was time.

“Please…sit down.” He motioned back to the bench. Where to begin?

“There are more beings walking the earth than mortal humans. Two great immortal races, bound forever in eternal conflict, are fighting over the mortals. This is a battle, a war, over good…and evil. It’s a story you may have heard before. The corruption of demons…and the purity of angels. Both races want to claim earth for their own.” J watched Karyu’s face for a reaction.

“Years ago, the Brightlord, the ruler of the angels, fell in love with a human. It’s a tragedy I’m sad to share. Together, they had a child. Luckily, the demons never knew of this. But they knew of the woman. The headhunter guild, a group of demons whose mission is to hunt and kill the angels on earth, tracked down this woman and tried to set a trap for the Brightlord. It nearly succeeded, but she sacrificed herself to save him. They fled, searching the city for any sign of him. She saved her child, as well. His child.

The demons believed, at that point, that they may have won. The Brightlord has remained in heaven since then and the angels have diminished in number. However, the city where the Brightlord had last made his appearance has become the battleground for demons and angels to fight. Many on both sides believe it to be the last battle. I’m sorry to tell you that you live in that city, Karyu. You are in the very heart of this war.”

He reached over and took one of Karyu’s hands. “Karyu…you are the child…the one the Brightlord fathered on earth. I was part of the garrison sent to trap him. With your mother’s last tears, she bid me to keep you safe. I brought you here. I’ve watched you your whole life. I’ve kept other demons off your tracks. Your mother’s last request…I will honor it until I am destroyed.”
