... Ah... So it's a bit like Father Remington.

... I kind of hated him at first too.

Father Remington...?

[soul_sister]

My younger brother was born with the power of God. His touch could heal anyone.. anything... except himself. But it took a terrible price from his own health in turn. There were whole weeks when he couldn't even leave bed.. much less the orphanage.

Father Remington used to come by from the Order and kept trying to adopt him, but I'd make Joshua run away with me. I figured they'd just stuff him in some creepy lab and run tests on him forever. They promised to help him learn how to control it, how to fight...

... It was really selfish of me...

[And this is, for most people, where the story ends. Instead, she takes a deep breath.]

So, a demon came and took him away. The demon put a demon's horns in my brother and ... he... went crazy. Or at least, he wasn't himself anymore. Joshua used the power to freeze everyone and everything in the orphanage in time. They're still there, just scared looking statues. The only reason I wasn't frozen as well was that Chrono saved me, but we couldn't stop Joshua from being taken away.

Of course, the effort nearly killed Chrono too. So... I did what I had to do to save him, so we could both go looking for Joshua, you know, that we'd both be strong enough.

Father Remington, in the end, he took me in, instead. Taught me how to fight.
