Author's Notes:

Hey guys, it's been a very long time huh? I apologize for the wait. I just had many things happening at the same time, and as you can see I'm not a writer. I'm really just a simple artist who draws whatever catches my attention. That's pretty much it. I would try writing more chapters for this and post them, but I cannot guarantee how fast the updates would be. I'm serious when I say that I'm no writer.

You will also notice a severe decline in the quality of the writing. In the following chapters, I will not have Coeur's help in writing the thing. He will just be my test-audience of sorts before I post it here, since he's by far the better writer. If you guys want stories with much better quality and actual update dates, I recommend going to his profile here.

I will admit that I have a pretty bad problem when trying to write something. I can make ideas really well, but I cannot write the intimate details down. It gets to the point that I have tons of story ideas, but you do not see me make stories about it. I want to, but I really cannot make chapters for them for some reason.

Just a head's up: any italicized words are thoughts made by Neo, and later on Jaune. I'm just saying it now so that it wouldn't be confusing once he's in the picture.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this crappy chapter I MADE! WITH THESE HANDS! 030

I am... dead?

Neo couldn't believe what she was looking at. Her own lifeless body sprawled on the floor with her blood forming a puddle around the still form. How could have she died without her noticing?

"Your determination to keep moving masked the fact that you have passed on Neo." The old man answered, reading her thoughts again. "To be frank, I thought you would notice the wings first."

The girl then quickly tilted her head over shoulder, and was mesmerized by the two small wings on her back. Neo then could see that the feathers were colored similarly to her own hair. Varying degrees of pink, white and brown feathers coated her newly-formed wings.

Observing the new appendages, Neo suddenly realized a problem.

How could I possibly finish my mission like this?

"Do not fret my dear. There is still a way for you to fulfill your goal and help Mr. Arc." The elderly man then gestured to the surroundings and the girl realized that they were at the Beacon courtyards.

"You still have a physical influence at the world, like for example..." The man then pointed to a rose blooming on the ground. "Try touching that flower."

Neo gingerly bent down and picked the rose off the stem. He was right; she could still feel the sensations of holding the flower. The girl then glanced at the man, asking for more answers.

"As you can attest, sense of touch is not a problem for you and Mr. Arc. If you attempt to interact with him, he will be able to feel your presence as well as your touch." The elderly man explained. "You would also have the ability to make yourself visible to Mr. Arc, if you so choose."

That would make matters easier I guess, Neo thought.

"There's also the fact that you can now talk to Mr. Arc. Not physically of course, but you will be able to communicate with him through your thoughts." The old mad explained. "It would be much easier for both of you to be able to understand each other, that much is certain."

I would have to be careful on what I think about near the blond then, Neo mused.

"I must warn you though, you cannot let yourself be known to anyone else besides Mr. Arc." The man stared at Neo intently. "Once your existence becomes revealed, I will have no other choice but to fail your mission."

Neo tightened her hand into a fist, knowing what will happen to her if she fails.

"There is more; you cannot leave Mr. Arc's side for too long. The invisibility spell placed upon you will weaken the longer you are away from his presence." The man placed his hand on Neo's shoulder again. "As much as possible, I would want you to stay by his side."

The girl nodded. That shouldn't be too hard to do...

"One other term you have to keep in mind," The man tightened his grip on the multicolor-haired girl's shoulder slightly, to stress his words. "You absolutely cannot harm or kill anyone, no exceptions."

Neo froze. Killing brought her so much joy, and now she had to let go of it.

Damn it...

"Now that you have been informed of the terms and conditions, would you agree with the deal?" The man held his hand out, for the girl to accept and confirm the agreement.

Sigh... I have nothing to lose anyway... And I have no other choice...

Neo took the man's hand and shook it firmly.

As soon as the girl took hold of the man's hand, she was blinded by a radiant glow emanating from the elder's form as it enveloped her line of vision.

"Then it is done. I wish you luck with your mission, Neo."
