Chapter 152: Truth

"There." A hand stretched out, touchin the brightest star in the sky. "That is you, my dear, sweet Enychta Astérie..." The women held the star on her hand as the purple glow of the sphere illuminated the face of the kid, who suddenly didn't look all that kid-like anymore. Instead, he was now a grown man, holding into his mother's hand as she looked at the stars, that smiled back at them with a hint of malice in their eyes.

"Run, Eny, run!" His mother called out to him, he was suddenly a kid again, running away from the growing darkness around him, that slithered, crawled, dragged itself on the cusp of his vision, always growing closer and closer each time. His feet carried him as far as he could get but the weight of the fear made him fall forward- The stars were gone, his mother was gone, he was alone in the dark unknown emptiness of the void as his cries echoed on the walls of madness, blocking him from getting help from someone. But he felt it, amidst the pain and agony, that the part of himself that he left behind, the raw instinct that he left alongside some core memories hidden in the depths of his soul, they were coming to get him, to save him... BUt will it be enough?

Saving him, because he is perpetually locked inside this loop of pain, of misery, of torture that is slowly breaking his mind into tiny fragments of light that are devoured by the darkness.

He just hopes they come faster, he needs them, he needs their help more than ever. He also felt it, his body moving, his father was here- He probably would know that his conciousness is not interely inside his body, and that it is being driven by a fragment of himself, but he just prays he won't tell them for two reasons- The Eldritch Horros want him for a reason, and Enis had no idea he had left behind a part of himself on his body, he has no idea that he is, in fact, still connected to his body, sending signla-like pulses, so his father can locate him or in this case- His memories, because that's what he is, memories with sentience.

It sounds so simple, and yet, so complicated.

He sighed, the nightmare starting from the beggining, this time, however, the characts were changed, the way he was tortured changed, the way things were going changed. He once again focused all of his will to use that connection he has with his own self, with the left of consciousness on his body, calling it to him, urging it to come faster so he may be free from this endless prison.

-Scene Cut-

Of course Lucifer noticed it, he was the King of Hell for crying out loud, he had to keep eye contact with Eny's soul to see where his bigger shard was, because he did what humans would consider as a mental illness, known as DID- Dissociative Identity Disorder, or Shattered Minds, is when someone's personality is shattered from a very young age, when the child's personality is very fragile and is yet to develop, which happens between the ages of 3 to 5, when the personality fully develops itself. The way it occurs is through trauma, any kind of trauma, but the damage it does is irreversible. Take a bowl of glass and throw it to the floor, look at all the pieces on the ground, which one is the orignial piece? None of them, they are all part of one big bwol that was broken, and like that, there is no 'original' in an DID mind, only the Host.

There can be many 'Hosts', but they noramlly are the 'Alters' that stay out, or on the driving seat, the most. 'Alters' is another term for the personalities an DID Mind develops, each 'Alter' is it's own person, with it's own personality, they are pieces of the same person but are different from them- That is what Eny did, left behind a piece of himself inside his mind and body, while the larger part of his mind was taken away, giving the impression that his memories were all "eaten", which could've happened, but Lucy would know and would certainly be able to reverse it, but then again, his son left this piece of him behind for a reason... And that was to create a way someone could find him, eitheir by calling this shard to himself, so it could find him, or by having someone use the shard to find him.

Either way, Lucy was fucking proud of his son's genius plan, because this makes his job a lot easier than before.

"Son? Boy, look at me please?" Looking down at the agonized expression over Eny's face, as if he was having a nightmare, Lucifer sighed and placed his finger on his forehead, and concentrated. He first felt the thread connecting the shards, it was thin, almost invisble even for him, but he could see it with much difficulty. 'He is good at hiding things...' Well, it was a natural talent that came from being a predator, a monster, he could in plain sight and no one would notice him. "Let's see if this works..." Lucy touched the thread with his mind's eye and felt himself rush through it, his conciousness being dragged along to the darkness, he found him, but he was also found. Lucy looked straight into the face of the Blind Fool, who scowled and tried to break the connection between the minds, but neither Lucy nor Eny wanted this to happen, so together, they held the connection. It was hard because Psionics is the specialty of the Eldritch Horrors, they know what to do, how to do, and that was much more than Eny or Lucy could do.

"I'll be right there." Lucifer smiled at Eny, who seeing his father for the first time, smiled. The connection shattered, making the sleeping body of Enychta Astérie jump up and howl in pain, his body shifting through all the possible forms that he could take, it looked like a terrible abomination, but it didn't matter...

They were going to get him back.

-Scene Ends-

Author Note:

Why did "Eny" Started remembering things? Because memories Eny was sending information back to him, through a very thin and fragile bond, so the information couldn't be that big or else the eldritch horrors that took him, would know.

That's why also "Eny" suddenly had that urge to EATEATEATEATEATEAT something.

Someone.
