Alan was training in the yard practicing their magic but they were cut off when they heard a whisper in the garden they paused and unfold their wings in case of an attack then they heard a scream they ran as fast as their skinny legs could carry them their heart racing then they saw a tall lanky black figure in argos’s room they ran in the figure was throwing argos around like as if argos was a rag doll alan was shaking and their wings shot open and they kick the figure away from argos “my love are you okay?” Alan asked scaredly, Argos nodded, then Alan's pupil turned a hot red “you BASTARD!” they charged at the figure drawing their claws and slashing the figure in the face the figure’s blood painted the floor and wall Alan then let out a screech from the bottom of their lungs but it didn’t sound human it sounded scary but calming at the same time the figure tries to attack but alan doges blocking the attack but the figure cut alan’s shoulder in the process alan hisses in pain and their wings grow and their eye glows white argos was stunned at alan’s divine beauty as alan continued to attack the figure with no mercy the figure being splashed with blood and angelic poison until the figure dropped alan was breathing heavily “that…was for Mama you bastard” alan said  out of breath argos was speechless “darling…..what was that?” argos asked, his voice shaking, alan paused as they calmed down “o-oh it was part of my powe-” alan was cut off “no alan what was that thing that just attacked me?” Alan sighed "i-it was an entity" Argos shakes “i-i thought those were only in dangerous parts of the void why are they coming here?” alan paused then sighed “it might be because of the fallout…”Alan's gaze softened and they wrapped their arms around argos to calm him as argos cried into alan’s chest “how are we going to protect our child with them coming around now i can’t take much more of this!!” argos said pouring tears Alan then whispered “i’ll do whatever it takes to protect everyone i promise” argos paused “n-no don’t say that….i-i almost lost you and i don’t want that to happen again!” argos said his tears falling onto alan’s shirt alan’s eye widens their heart filling to the brim with happiness and love “but argos…you’ve already gave me the life i never had…the only way i can repay you, mama, natalie, sadie nin, and hell even ego and chip….i can only repay by protecting you all with my life” argos shivered and began to cry louder Nin ran in “what’s wrong?!” he asked hugging argos alan explained and nin makes alan look at him “al..you don’t have to die for us to keep us safe..we all LOVE you and we won’t change our minds..you’re messy kind loving caring and an amazing person..and we don’t want to lose you” alan teared up and cried loudly “oh my gods i love you all so much” alan said their voice high pitched and wobbly they hug nin and nin used his free hand to pet alan’s wings alan kept crying into nin’s chest argos hugged alan from behind and kissed their neck softly and rocked them back and forth to try and get them to stop crying Nin tilted his head and wiped alan’s tears and held them closer “we’ll get through this al…together” Nin said holding alan’s hand and he kissed alan’s shoulder and alan fell asleep “heh..what are we going to do with them?”Nin asked and argos shrugged and whispered “but they make it hard to NOT love them” Nin nods “they’re one of the best things to happen to me” Nin helped alan up and carried them to their bed and tucked them in
