Part Twosum:

Gabriel stood a small distance away looking on dispasionatly as the Earl granted power to another insignificant person. Covering a yawn with his hand he looked around and spied a small headstone partially crumbled away which would provide an excellent seating position which he consequently took it up upon.

Watching as the human (as he had learnt from the old man he wasn't) betrayed it's own lineage and succumbed to the machine form which the Earl made so often he felt...Nothing.

Lately he had begun to feel even less then usual..He figured he hadn't smiled in months..He hadn't felt any guilt since going with the Earl..he didn't worry anymore..he didn't love anymore..and when it finally came down to it did he really care anymore.

Life felt so far away as opposed to the world which he entered when he closed his eyes..A world which only took a moment to step into..A world in which he could manipulate and control everything.

As the Earl finished with the now finished Akuma and vanished into the air Gabriel went up to it and gave it its simple order..Chaos..

As the Akuma went off into the night to wreak havoc in the nearby town where it's human host had originally come from Gabriel started walking back towards the house which he called his own.

Passing by a small hedge he heard a small noise and pushing back a branch saw a girl sleeping underneath a rug in a small hollow inside the hedge...A homeless churl no doubt...But yet something stirred inside Gabriels mind and controlled his actions as he reached down with both hands and grasped the girls head and looked deep into her eyes.

A moment later a flower and butterfly's drifted past his head..Confused he looked up and saw a meadow stretching into infinity.

Part Three to come.

Part Three

Gabriel stood in the middle of the meadow that stretched out to a horizon that had no true right to be that large and close..Butterflies drifting past his head every few seconds alighting from the ground on which they were nesting and being disturbed by his coming..Slowly against his face he felt a wetness..Pulling one hand up he cautiously touched his cheek and drew away a piece of water which had drifted down off it...No wait it wasn't water..what was wrong with him..Pushing his head back he looked to the sky and cried as a river of tears streamed down his once still and proud face.....He the Noah that kept his demeanor..That hardly ever smiled..He who had never cried in his life now found himself standing in an imaginary meadow with tears covering his face and falling to the ground to dissolve into small flowers...Catching himself he wiped away the rest of the tears off his face and looked around some more.

In the distance he saw a full moon in the middle of the day with a figure sitting down silhouetted against it and the horizon...No sooner had he spied the figure when all of a sudden the ground underneath him sped along and he found himself standing over the figure..It was the girl with whom he had looked into her mind...She was calmly sitting their braiding together flowers as she sipped from a glass which he thought held cordial a bright red color..Sweets were spread around her from which every now and then she would select one and greedily wolf it down..

A Dream..I'm in her dream...

He thought with wonder then on impulse he drew his hand up and tugged at the air using his Gift...A goblet of wine appeared in it..

It can be manipulated...I can control it...

Looking down at the girl who was now looking at him he raised an eyebrow in a questioning look.

"Mister who are you..." she asked with a confused look on her face..Obviously not accustomed to night time visits from strangers through her dreams..

"I'm...." Gabriel began then stopped and looked around...."I'm an angel come to give you a choice..."

Holding out a hand he helped the small girl to her feet...

"Do you like it here" he asked gesturing around at the insubstantial world which surrounded them created by her imagination and invaded by his presence...
"I'm never cold here...I never go hungry and I have everything I want...It's nice to make believe here because it never is make believe" she responded with a small smile on her face..

"Would you like to stay here forever then?" Gabriel said feeling the small warm hand of the girls in his and tried unsuccessfully to bring a warm smile to his face to which it was unaccustomed................

Later as he wandered through the meadow which was becoming more strengthened with each step he thought about what he had done...He needed to leave...There was too much chance of emotion over taking him here in this state...A nice place to visit but to stay would destroy him and all that he held dear....God he was even starting to feel emotions..

He didn't need to go anywhere in particular to get out of the dream...However he felt a need to get away from the place where the Girl now lay sleeping peacefully....For if you go to sleep in a dream the only place you can then wake up in is that same dream.

Gesturing with his hand he tore a rip in the in reality which was her dream and stepped out of it back into the reality which was his body..

Straightening up from the girls now still and cold body he flexed a few fingers to work the stiffness out of them which had crept into the joints..

A useful place to kill

he thought as he wandered away from the hedge and the corpse..He could feel his powers growing inside with each step he took away from the dream world with which he had found and invaded.

Part Four

Gabriel fingered his glasses thoughtfully as he walked around the hallways which made up the Earls mansion, Found in a place which he himself didn't even know how to get to apart from what one might call instinct it made a refreshing change from the usual busy atmosphere that the wider world provided him. He had just finished relaying a report about the location of a few possible innocence locations to the Earl who would then dispatch one of his siblings to go check it out when he felt the need to wander.

Entering a dusty room which he had yet to come upon he reached his hand out to the side to flip the switch which would flood the bulb in the room with electricity and light the place properly..With a click nothing happened..For a moment Gabriel stood there wondering whether or not this was a trick that his Sister Road was trying to play on him when he realized that it was simply the oversight of the unseen servants that populated the mansion to replace the light bulb that provided the light.

Shacking his head at his own folly Gabriel stepped up onto the wall a trick he had learnt from his sojourns into the Dream state of peoples minds and stepped onto the ceiling transforming the roof into the floor and vice versa, Stepping the few paces across to the light bulb which was strung in mid air at about waist height Gabriel reached out his hand to unscrew it and replace it with a new one provided he could find one when suddenly when his hand was a few inches away from the bulb a streak of electricity jumped from his hand to the bulb..Pulling his hand back he looked at it questioningly looking for a mark that the electricity left when he thought about it again.

It went from my hand to the Bulb....

A Cackle suddenly broke him from his thoughts and he looked down to see the Earl with that Cane of his looking up at him on the Ceiling..."I was wondering when you were going to notice your other legacy..Kukuku.....If I was you i'd see how much I can use out of it....But thats just me now.."And with a final cackle the Earl poofed out of sight..

Coughing and waving his hand to clear up the smoke which had veiled the Earls Disappearance Gabriel studied his hand thoughtfully.

Later as he was walking away from the Grounds and the many Akuma body's which were lying on the ground some with twitching limbs..The others with spasming heads and legs..Whilst others just lay on the ground prone to all that was around them Gabriel Chuckled softly and thought of his plans.

Part Five

Sitting down in the Library Gabriel slowly sifted through a stack of papers that were sitting on his crossed legs. Each and every piece of the rather large stack was a report which had been relayed through the various akuma and informants that bowed down to the Earls command throughout the world. Recently Gabriel had taken it upon himself to go through them and sift the obvious failures and lies from the reports that mattered the most.

Placing the top sheet of the stack to his left on a pile of small reports which indicated the ones that mattered the most Gabriel leaned back for a moment and yawned ostentasiously.

Much easier then doing these missions by myself in my opinion

Then flicking his eyes to the now top report he stretched out his mind untill he found his nearest sibling in the mansion and relayed the important facts and information which they would need to know to go investigate the matter.

A short while later he placed down the last sheet and groaned loudly as he forced himself to his feet and stretched out the stiff muscles which had accumulated during his pleasurable work...It was work yes which he hated but at the same time it was the smallest work which was avaliable and at least he could sit down whislt he was doing it.

Walking out the door he went to one of the doors leading outside and opened it and entered the dark matter which surrounded the mansion to travel into the outside world.

A short while later saw him stepping down onto a gravel path that lead to a cliff overlooking the sea..

The english coast is so pleasant at this time of the year

He thought as he went over to the edge of the cliff and sat down on its edge with his feet dangling over the hundreds of metres that was the thin air above the breaking waves..A place where he could rest and relax in peace without anyone interupting him...a place only he knew about..A place where nothing but the calm serenity of the world mattered..

Suddenly a piercing whislte broke through his daydreams..Getting to his feet Gabriel looked down the path and saw a young lady walking along in a frock whislting a merry tune...The sunlight and the wind catching her blonde long hair making it flow through the air like a waltz...Gabriel's breath caught in his throat..Quickly he checked himself to ensure that no outward appearance of his Noah heritage was visible then walked up to the lady.

"Excuse me fair maiden but where do you walk to on this fine day?"
Taken aback the girl replied.
"For a walk..To enjoy life as it is..And now that i've answered your question sir might I know the pleasure of whom I address?"
"Gabriel fel Reigh" he responded bowing slightly and taking her hand kissed it lightly.
"Well mister Fel reigh my names Samantha..I hope to meet you again.."

And with that she took back her hand and continuing her tune she turned and headed away from him..

It was only untill she was out of sight that Gabriel realised he was still standing there with his hand out feeling the warmth her palm had created in it..

No...It couldn't be...Could it?...

He thought periously as he quickly tore the reality around him and stepped back into the Mansion..

The meeting with samantha wouldn't prove to be his first..Or his last...

Part six coming soon.
