Several days had passed since that fateful day, and Leon's daily routine had, for the most part, remained unchanged. However, if there were any notable differences to point out..."Hey, everyone... it's time to eat," Leon called out. He now had 'kids' to take care of, including their father."Hey, Tam, what are you up to? Come over here," he said, and the rooster swiftly responded, hurrying toward Leon upon hearing his name."You've done a great job looking after your little ones, huh?" Leon patted the rooster as a reward for caring for the chicks while he was away. "Though, in the first place, it should've been your responsibility." he added. Then, he turned his attention to the chicks."You're all growing up fast. Enjoy your meal, okay?"With that, he left the chickens and proceeded to the front gate."What's going on?" he inquired of his surroundings."It's been a few days, and now you've come. What's the reason?"His days had been relatively peaceful recently, but today seemed to
A few more weeks passed after the will had been conveyed to the four beasts. During this period, Leon made rounds in the forest to ensure the beasts were fulfilling their duties. However, Luis and Joshua no longer visited him after that one occasion. Leon believed this marked the perfect beginning of his peaceful days.But then, on that unexpected day, he found himself baffled, wondering, 'haa... just why did this happened?'As Leon looked around, three men were casually eating, while he was left in confusion.To understand why this occurred, we need to rewind to the time when Leon had just arrived in town to gather his supplies. As he strolled through the market, engaged in some price negotiations, he casually remarked, "This looks good too."Taking a bite of the pear in his hand that he had pay, he was startled when a sudden voice reached his ears."Oh..."He thus casually glanced back to determine if it was directed at him."Oohhh!!!"That's when he noticed three men dressed in com
Leon sprinted through the forest, extending his aura across its expanse, as he cried out to the four beast of the woods, "Make haste to my dwelling!" Upon his return home, he swiftly entered his hut and gathered his belongings, thinking, 'I must depart from this place without delay.' The circumstances he had hoped to avoid had come to pass. Rather than remaining in the same location and potentially encountering those individuals again, Leon chose to depart. "Tam, gather your offspring," he instructed. While packing, he communicated telepathically with the rooster outside. As his belongings isn't that many, he quickly completing his preparations before exiting the hut. He then headed towards the back, where the graves lay. He took a moment to gaze at the graves and remarked, "I shall now take my leave, and there's a chance I won't return to this place." His eyes then shifted to the horizon, tracing the clouds above. "Though I won't depart without taking care of 'that' first." With
Approaching the altar, Leon's attention was drawn to intricate carvings etched into the material resembling clouds. These engravings depicted various scenes and symbols, some of which possibly conveyed the stories and legends associated with the Cloud Kingdom. "This is quite intriguing," Leon muttered to himself as he carefully examined the carvings. He continued to trace their details when his eyes fell upon an object resembling a book positioned at the center of what appeared to be a door within the carvings. This book was unlike any other he had encountered. Its cover was crafted from cloud-like material, and its pages displayed intricate, ever-shifting patterns. His curiosity overwhelmed him, prompting him to reach out and take hold of the book. Upon contact, he felt a surge of energy coursing through him, and the book opened by itself. The pages emitted a brilliant light that temporarily blinded him, and simultaneously, a rush of memories flooded his mind. Unconsciously, he clos
While the tale of Leon's legend circulated within the Daracula Forest, Leon, on the other hand, was met with a quizzical reception from the inhabitants of Cloud Kingdom. As two people in front of many residents stepped forward, Leon followed suit, and they converged at the center. Among the two, an elderly man warmly greeted Leon, saying, "It's a pleasure to see you, young man. Welcome to the Cloud Kingdom." Leon replied, "Ah, yes. Nice to meet you too." A younger man standing next to the elder clicked his tongue and remarked, "Tch, why would you greet him that way, old man? Isn't it obvious that this guy has come to cause trouble?" In response, the elder scolded him by landing a staff on the younger man's head, saying, "Just keep quiet, Izekel. You ignorant brat!" Turning his attention back to Leon, the elderly man apologized, "Right, sorry about this, young man. But... It's been a while since our slumber, and it seems you're the one who woke us up." Murmurs rippled through the
Zedd's expression soured as he realized that Luis could still pull pranks on him in this situation. He turned away, choosing to focus on the ongoing fight instead. After a while, they managed to escape the chaos and reached Daniel's hut, catching their breath. Among them, Luis, looking much better, quickly scanned their surroundings."Hmm?"Luis spoke quietly to himself, searching inside the hut. The others perked up, wondering why Luis appeared frantic."What's wrong?""What's going on?"Before Luis finally emerged from the hut and began shouting,"Daniel is gone!"Only then did the others comprehend his words."No way...""Ah..."They quickly searched their surroundings, looking for any trace or sign of human presence. Despite their efforts, there was no clue of Daniel's whereabouts."It seem he's been gone for a few days now.""Since our last meeting?""I think so," Joshua replied."Tch, we're too late."The crown prince clicked his tongue, disappointed by their futile effort."Is
"Well, let's postpone that conversation for another time. I'm in need of some solitude." "Ah, I see. You have to unpack, right?" "Hmm." "I'll take my leave then." As the witch was preparing to depart, Leon suddenly addressed her. "Oh, one more thing." "Hmm?" "This orb... I'd like to transform it into a bracelet, if that's acceptable to you." "A bracelet, you say." Leon nodded, displaying the orb in his open palm. "I don't enjoy always holding it in my hand. But since you need to maintain that appearance, I believe it's better to turn it into something I can wear." The witch emitted an 'ah' of realization, comprehending his purpose. "Then, do as you wish, as long as my core is not destroyed." "Alright, you can go now." Ignoring the witch, Leon turned around, and though she seemed like she wanted to engage in further conversation, she ultimately decided to leave. Leon then focused on the task at hand. ************ A day passed quickly, and in the guest room at Fronti's r
Leon crushed the knife in his hand, his eyes glowing bluish as he rose from his seat.Swoosh*Another knife materialized from his side. He deftly avoided it and seized the hand of the person wielding the blade."Hmm... now they have the audacity to appear in front of me?"Leon was astonished. The realization hit him that the assassin was no longer sneaking but boldly confronting him."Who the hell sent you, I wonder," he mused aloud, not expecting much of an answer from the captive person.Ugghh*The guy struggled, extracting more hidden knives from his clothes and swung them at Leon.Leon's expression turned stoic. He crushed the assassin's hand and captured the other one.Arghh*The assassin's scream echoed in the park."You shouldn't swing these around. It could really hurt someone," Leon remarked nonchalantly. The assassin fell to their knees, groaning, while Leon still held their wrist."Ah, don't worry too much, sir. I won't kill you. But..."He grinned, locking eyes with the as
