A Simple Request

Wandering the hallways of the Sitri Manor, Leon, now 8, was thinking deeply about what he should say, he wanted to visit his parents and uncle, wanted to visit the grave's. Shirone, now 11, crept quietly after Leon alongside Hana, Elizabeth and Sona, they were curious as to why he seemed troubled but rather than just ask they decided to improve their stealth skills. He walked on lost in thought until he reached his destination, Serafall's bedroom, this early in the morning only she would still be in her room, awake or not was unknown for nobody dared enter if they weren't Leon, Sona or Shirone, The Cute Troupe as she called them, and they never spoke about what happens when they go in out of fear, taking a deep breath Leon opened the door and stepped in.

"Sera... are you awake?"

"Hmm... oh Leon... come give me a hug"

"Sera... can I... ask you something"

"Sure... what is it"

"I uh... was wondering if... can I visit my old home... and my family"

"... I'll ask Ajuka if it's alright OK?"

"OK... thank you"

"Now you know what to do puppy"

================================

Later that day

"So he wants to visit the graves... it's fine, in fact I'll be there in a week anyway, tell him he can come in a week"

"Alright Ajuka... we'll see you in a week, bye bye"

As the magic circle deactivated Ajuka sat back in his chair and thought for a while before pulling out a box with the symbol of a wolf on it

"I guess it's time"

================================

Leon looked at his wolf toy as he sat in a tree in one of the gardens, having given the girls the slip he was alone, something rare since he arrived at the Sitri Manner four years ago, he felt lonely, it had only just came to him he was all that was left of his people, he was an endangered species of 1, and he knew he didn't want to die that way.

Looking to the sky he clenched his fist, if he was going to die at all it would be in his terms, he'd inherited the legacy of Sparta, Athena had agreed to train him once he turned 10 and Leonidas had told him of a Great power sealed within him, he could fight if he transformed but he'd also been told he shouldn't rely on that ability, especially since fighting that way exhausted him quickly, so he took to making himself physically fit whilst learning magic, he learned that he had a rather high affinity for ice and darkness elements in particular and had learned a few spells and attacks for both.

*Crunch*

his head snapped towards the sound, only to be enveloped in a hug from behind

"What's my favourite little brother doing all by himself nya?"

"Big Sis... Don't scare me like that"

"Sorry Leon... so... Where's Shirone?"

"I don't know"

"Are you hungry? I'm trying out a new recipe"

"I am a little hungry"

"Alright then, let's go"

Then Kuroka dra-carried Leon to the kitchen where she made him eat another of her seafood dishes and kept him to herself for the rest of the day only letting Shirone eventually join them
