Lupin gently worked through Coelestin's wounds. Pressing a warm cloth over his bruises and disinfecting his wounds. After he was done with his chest, back and face, he looked down at his pelvis and the blood smeared over it.

He pressed his hands over his pelvis and narrowed his eyes,
'The temperature seems to be normal enough,' He said inside his head, 'Which means I might not need to remove it. I just hope the damage doesn't lead to some fatal infection... Yeah but then I'm taking a risk.

But let's say I do operate on him, some complications from the pain may result in shock and even cardiac arrest. The pain is simply too much for the body to handle and I might end up killing him.'

He took a deep breath,

"...This is gonna be a bit difficult," He mumbled, "The pain will be unbearable, it will lead to nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, huge swelling in the scrotum that is agonising to touch, and it will continue hurting until the damaged testicle is removed,"

Coelestin opened his eyes, his sky blue eyes turned towards Lupin, "Oh hey, nice timing, can I remove your testicle?"

"Huh?"
Lupin pulled out the little syringe from Coelestin's thigh, "I have made your hips numb to lessen the pain,"
"...Are you a pervert?" He asked.
"No, I'm a doctor," Lupin wore a mask, "Your testicle is damaged. I've examined you, its a testicular torsion. You know what that is?"

"No..."
"So," He arranged all his tools beside him, "There is this tube called the spermatic cord that contains blood vessels that lead from the abdomen to the testicle. A scrotum injury can cause this cord to twist, which is called torsion. It leads to extreme abdominal pain, swelling and you're losing a lot of blood. He must have kicked you hard there, huh,"

Coelestin looked aside, "It's embarrassing to think about it, heck, I'm even embarrassed now, I have to lay like this in front of a stranger,"
"Don't be," Lupin said as he filled some medicine inside an injection, "I'm a doctor, for me it's just another organ," He smiled, "Now, you can close your eyes if you want to, it isn't any major surgery, I'll be done soon,"

Coelestin looked at the ceiling,
"So, I'm gonna be impotent after this?"
"I was joking," He laughed, "If treated within 4-6 hours, the testicle can usually be saved, waiting longer can cause permanent damage and may affect the ability to father children though. So, you got lucky here, let's just put it that way,"

Coelestin looked at him, "Blood!"
"It's just blood, not nuclear waste, chill out,"
"No, but I'm losing so much blood! I'm beginning to panic!"
"Look, I don't care if you're panicking, just do it quietly."

"...Sorry,"
Coelestin looked at Lupin's hands, "What are you doing though?"
"I'm just gonna untwist the spermatic cord to restore blood supply and then stitch this back up again, don't worry about it,"

Coelestin looked at the ceiling again, "I never realised how weak I was,"
"To be honest, all men are weak if someone kicks them in their balls," Lupin said. Coelestin remained quiet. And after while, he spoke,

"I don't know what hurts more, the physical pain that I've been crippled with or the mental pain of losing all my allies at once," Teardrops left his eyes. Lupin kept his tools away and removed his gloves. Coelestin was asleep by then.

He washed himself and his tools and he cleaned the sheets. He covered Coelestin with new, washed sheets and kissed his forehead, "You'll be fine, you're the bravest teen I've met so far," He smiled.

Slowly, dawn painted the sky golden and Lupin sat beside Coelestin, checking his blood pressure after regular intervals while smoking a cigarette.

Coelestin slowly opened his eyes and looked at him, "Dad,"
"Oh," Lupin chuckled, "I guess this is the post anesthesia effect, wake up, Coelestin, I'm not your dad,"

Coelestin pressed his face with his palms, "Curse you for leaving me when I needed you the most. I admired you. Your voice, I'm starting to forget your voice. The monsters in my head always knew this would happen. That I'd lose you. It's very hard to be on this planet without you.

For sometime I wished I could join you or that you could come back down here. Because I'm so alone right now. I can't tell you how lonely it feels to look across the throne and see your and mother's empty seat.

Existing without you and mom...Isn't easy. The memories are unclear but those feelings remain. I honestly can't remember half the things we talked about, but it was nice.

Really nice." Coelestin said in monotone and Lupin held his hand and squeezed his palms, he smiled, "It is rare to meet someone with a mind just as beautiful as their face,"

Coelestin looked into his eyes, "Dad, where are my contact lenses though? I can't see anything,"
"Lenses?"
"Yeah, the black ones,"
"Well, I'll look for them,"

. . .

Meanwhile, Loan, Veronique and X walked towards the throne, "Loan, as promised, your step brother's throne is now your own,"
"Thank you, sire," Loan smirked and sat on the throne. He turned towards the royal priest, "Arrange for my coronation,"

"It'll take a week to do the preparations, your majesty," He said.
"I've waited seven years, add seven more days to that,"

X and Veronique flew back home. Once they were there, X grabbed her arms and pulled her closer, "I'm in mood,"
"I'm not," She said.
"I don't care, I am,"

. . .

Back in the past, Evelyn stood on the ocean surface, looking at the sky overhead. He slowly leaned back and the ocean gently pressed him inside of it, the water moving away from beneath his body, creating a hole in the center of the ocean.

As Evelyn went down, he looked at the ocean walls reflecting the ocean underneath. The blue clasping him into it as the roof overhead closed with water.

The blue walls came towards, water wrapped itself around him. He went deeper and number, until he touched the ocean floor. He looked ahead of him,

"I can't end this here." He looked at his hands, "If I can't control it, I will destroy it," Barefooted, as he pressed his feet on the dark sand of the ocean floor, full of corals and shining stones, devoid of light ever since the oceans existed, felt gentle rays of the sun.

All the fishes and marine organisms looked at Evelyn as he parted the ocean into two halves and made a narrow passage through the ocean, like trimmed grass on a abandoned lawn.

He left his footprints inside the ocean, his eyes glowing pure green in the sneer darkness and ocean trenches. The voice of his pants resonating through water walls, he threw his hand forward in a punch and the entire ocean trembled,

A tsunami wave rose up and fell upon him, he rose up,corals, pearls and beautiful shells decorating his barebody. He was riding batefoot over the waves, which supported his weight.

"This...Isn't that bad..." He smiled nervously as he surfed. He jumped into the air and the waves rose with him, surrounding him into a whirlpool, he grabbed them and threw them towards the sky, the water took shape of maidens.

One of them grabbed his hand and danced with him, while the others danced beside him on the ocean.

"Are you seriously playing with me?" He laughed and a wave rose into a ramp and made a skateboard of water beneath him, "Hell yeah!"

And off he went into the water,having the best time of his life in water's arms. As he skateboarded, his eyes glowed green and the skin beside them began cracking, he was inside a kaleidoscope of water, surfing with dolphins and seahorses, hair slowly turned blue and scales appeared on his skin as the upper layer of pale skin withered away.

Once he stopped, he looked at his reflection on water and freaked out. He slowly looked back at it again. Dark blue skin, with white and yellow moles all over it, shining under the twilight, his light blue hair gently flowing in the ocean breeze.

He slowly saw land far away but suddenly, he felt a strong pain in his head and pressed his temples. Clanthido felt the same tingling on his forehead as he stood in the desert with Ameradite. They were walking back towards their spaceship with Lucifer. Clanthido got into the air, "Xelevyni is nearby! I can feel him in my energy radius,"

Ameradite's face lit up, "Go get him, Clanthido! I can't wait to embrace him into my arms, don't delay at all!"
And Clanthido, with his eyes shining purple, left for the ocean at once.
