William nods his head as a sign of acknowledgement to Elinore's explanation, getting off the couch before accompanying her to the kitchen. Apparently as he made it there, he saw Magnolia and Alex eating breakfast already as they both munched on their food quickly. Seems like they were both hungry to eat it...


"Bey gies! Cuim ofer hera and ead wish us!" Alex said with a mouth full of bacon as he looked at the latecomers to the kitchen. No way was he going to waste his own food on his pupil, mostly if he wasn't going to eat it immediately. He then looks at Magnolia, nearly choking in surprise from how much food she could eat in one serving. Kids these days are really weird it seems...

 

[noalaniwolf]

Elinore sat down at the table and claimed a stack of bacon for herself along with some eggs. This was her food. Those who challenged her would be at risk of losing their hands. "So after breakfast I think I'd like to get going to go visit Anna. It'd be best to go see her before the weather has a chance to turn bad it if ever feels like it"

 

[WiLeo]

After claiming whatever food was left on the table, William sits down and starts eating the food immediately. "Sure, why not. But it depends how far we have to go to visit her." He replied as he finished eating some bacon. "Also, should we stop by anywhere to buy her a gift? If that's going to be a problem, then we'll use the van to get around the city. Isn't that right my wonderful master?" William then looks at his master with a smirk on his face, despite the fact that his eyes were pleading for Alex to let him take the van out for the day.


"Yeah sure, take the van with you. Just make sure you don't crash it into a cop or someone like that." Alex replied back sarcastically as he gave a surprised look at his pupil. He never pleads to him like that. Like, never in his entire life with him has he done it once, which caused Alex's ears to go up in surprise too. "As a way for 'thanks' for yesterday though, I'll give you guys 1,000 lien to use for yourselves today. Don't spend it on unnecessary stuff, okay?" Alex then gives the cash and car keys to William after eating whatever was left on his plate. He then starts cleaning up the mess the girls made in the kitchen before he arrived back home from the grocery store a hour ago.

 

[noalaniwolf]

Elinore nodded in response. She swallowed her food and prepared to take another mouthful before speaking, "Sounds good, but we should hurry. So if you wanna buy gifts we should split up and meet up back here in an hour. Then I'll take you there. I will warm you, it's a bit of a drive. And she's eight, so don't buy her anything too...extravagant." Elinore went back to scarfing down her food. Now only was she hungry, but she was a bit excited to get going too. It'd been a long while sense she saw her sister.

 

[WiLeo]

William gives the girls their share of lien before heading upstairs to his room, changing into whatever was in his closet. After wearing gray combat pants and a shirt with the words Beacon Academy printed on it, he heads down to the armory room in the store to get some equipment for today's activities. William grabs a knife, a pistol, several dust grenades, magazines, and a light bulletproof vest before hiding them all on him as he wore his jacket. He then walks toward Archdeath, only putting on his gauntlets and boots, leaving the rest of the armor and his mask behind for Alex to fix. Okay, I'm ready for anything now. William thought as he was setting up the scroll on his armored wrist, allowing A.D to speak through the speakers installed in the device.


"Ready for your date you bad boy?" A.D asked smoothly, just as the A.I was able to finally communicate with his owner as he left the store to buy a gift for Elinore's sister. "So what you going to get for them Willy? You buying them some flowers or chocolates to impress them, before making your move?"


"What? Wait, NO! I'm buying a gift for Elinore's little sister you corrupted A.I!" William exclaimed before entering a small store to find a gift there. "It's not a date too. Were all hanging out together, so stop thinking dirty and help me pick out a gift!" He then looks around the store, watching the time as he browses through the items slowly. This was going to be hard it seems...

 

[noalaniwolf]

Elinore left to go finish the shopping she started the day before. She had the sweets stashed away for Anna, now all she needed was that incense. Maybe she'd get a rose to put on her mother's while she was at it too, sense they'd be in the area. The woman loved black roses, clearly. Her gift to Elinore was the most ridiculously overflowery getup she'd ever seen. It was a bit big in some areas too. She'd yet to grow into it, but she was getting close.


After he shopping Elinore turned back to the shop, ready to get going. She'd been ready to leave for a long time now. She wanted to see Anna. Oh it'd been such a long time! She hoped she was still okay and that nothing had damaged the area.

Sitting in the admissions office was beyond boring but he just had to wait for the secretary to come back then he would have some sort of idea what was going on. He had told her all he knew, that he was supposed to be a a small time law school his name and what the nurse had called him "Malcharion". Michael was still apprehensive about the whole thing, thinking he had done something wrong.


The Secretary had come back and she was in the process of telling him that they would try and reach my law school and make inquiries about this Malcharion. But that "in the mean time you should take classes as if you were supposed to be attending beacon so that if something couldn't be worked out you wont get a Mark on your transcripts" after that she handed over my room assignments and told me were I should look for it, but that it was I need of some work and I could not move in. Apparently the original room had been given away.


He grabbed the next ship down to Vail and made a b line for the store holding that Luna was still there.

Magnolia runs to a nearby shop selling candies and sweets to find a present for little Anna. "It's nice to see you again, Mags." said the mustached shopkeeper, "Going to buy some more snacks?" His mustache wiggled as he talked. "It's not for me this time. It's for a friend." Magnolia searched through the whole shop contemplating what to get for the little girl. 'Chocolate? Everyone likes chocolate right?' she thought. She grabbed the largest box of chocolate from the shelf and went over to the man. "I'll have this." she said with a triumphant twinkle in her eyes. "Ohohoho, your friend is a lucky one."After she paid, the shopkeeper handed her a lolipop. "Here's something for the road," he said, wiggling his mustache. "Thanks mister." She stuck the lolipop into her mouth and ran off with the large box to find the weapon store again.

 

[WiLeo]

William walks around the store for a few minutes, stumped that he couldn't figure out what a young girl would want as a gift. He then passes by the music section of the store and thought about his recent visit to the roof the other day. Elinore was listening to some jazz before getting mad at him for finding out, keeping it a secret from him when he confronted her about it. Maybe her sister likes to listen to jazz too, if she's actually related to Elinore. William thought as he grabs several jazz C.Ds before paying for them at the register. He leaves the store in a hurry, carrying the gift with a sense of accomplishment before entering his master's store. William then heads toward the garage to get the van ready for the upcoming trip.

 

[noalaniwolf]

"Great, that means everyone's here, and Michael stopped being a piece of paper!" Elinore said happily once everyone had returned to the store. "Alright, let's get going. I'm so excited!" she said with a wide smile as she followed after William into the garage. "Okay, everyone in" Elinore said as she walked over to the driver's seat of the van. It'd be easier if she drove than if she directed William, and she was also reluctant to let him drive after the aircraft incident.


Once everyone was in Elinore started the drive. She didn't talk during it, but nothing else seemed off. She took the van out of Vale and towards the forest not too far away. The deeper into the forest she went, the stranger it seemed. Why would an eight year old girl live in the middle of a forest? Perhaps it wasn't too weird, it was where Elinore grew up anyways. After a long time, the pavement had ended and Elinore continued on a dirt path. Along the way they passed an old cabin. It looked like it hadn't been used in years, the doors windows were boarded up. But through the boards on the windows some dark red splatters peeped through. It looked like a cabin from a horror movie where a grousom murder took place. "That's home" Elinore said as she drove past the cabin. She continued on for a little while to where the unpaved road ended and stopped the van. To their left was a large clear patch of land. In the middle stood three tall stones in a triangle pattern. The one up front was the tallest of the bunch, marked "Annabella Laluna" with a picture of a little eight year old with long black hair and bright green eyes.


Elinore got out of the van and walked towards the stones. "I'm here Anna..." she whispered to herself. She wondered if how she refereed to Anna in past tense all the time was beginning to register in her friend's minds.

 

[bokuwaoni]

Micheal had suspected something was up with Elinore's sister but hadn't known she was dead he felt worse about not getting Anna a gift. hanging back so he was last he would watch and see what the others thought of this

 

[BaconPancakes99]

Magnolia's heart jumped a little when she saw the tombstones. She thought back to the day when her mother was chased off by some Grimm. She didn't want to say anything. Her arms tightened around the box of chocolate. 'No wonder she speaks in past tense,' she thought. Magnolia slowly walked over to the stone and placed the box down beside it. She slowly backs away and looks at the ground.

 

[WiLeo]

Oh crap, not another tombstone... William thought as he watched Elinore and Magnolia walk toward the stones, staying in the car with Michael. He didn't really know her whole family was dead and only thought she lived in that apartment room because of a fight or something. Not because of this...


Leaving the C.Ds in his jacket, William leaves the car and stands next to Elinore as Magnolia made her offering to the dead family member and just stares at the stones for a few moments in silence. Funerals were never something he enjoyed going to at all and this one was no easier to attend. Even if they died a long time ago, this was a time of respect for the fallen family members, though he never met them before. "So... how long ago was it when they passed away?" William silently asked Elinore as they stood there, feeling as if the atmosphere around him was crushing his mind with its scenery.

 

[noalaniwolf]

"Six years now," Elinore said as she laid the candy down on the grave next to a stuffed fox. She tilted her head and picked the animal up. It was clean and pretty. "Oh...he was here again today..." she said quietly as she looked around the place for any traces of him before putting it back down. She sat down and smiled at the two of them, not really sure why the mood dropped so much. "Why the long faces? I finally bring some friends to go see Anna and you just mope" she teased. She had six years to deal with the fact now, so she'd gotten pretty used to the state of her family. She never really thought of her sister as gone though...just...not alive.

 

[WiLeo]

William stares at the girl's smile for a moment, understanding that Elinore might have already accepted her family's death and was simply going on with her life now. With this thought in mind, he makes a small smile to her before walking up to the tombstones and kneels down in front of the graves. "We've never met before but I'll make sure to watch over Eilnore in your absences, so don't worry about her becoming a huntress. I know she'll succeed and I'll make sure that it happens. I promise you that as my offering to the dead." William whispered as he put his hand over his heart, giving the deceased family a soldier's promise. He then stands up and walks back to the girls, leaving the knife he bought with him next to everyone else's offerings. "We met your folks, so what do you want to do now?" William asked as he gave a bigger smile to Elinore, hoping no one heard what he said to the graves at all.

 

[noalaniwolf]

Elinore shrugged. This was all she really had planned for the day. She looked back at the stuffed fox by the grave, "We could always go hunt wolves," Elinore said in an unnaturally loud voice, "or maybe...I dunno, go for a walk or something. Besides the grimm, this is a pretty awesome place to grow up at" she said with a smile

 

[BaconPancakes99]

Magnolia gives Elinore a small smile. "Sorry." she said quietly and sat down next to Elinore. Her tail swayed slightly as she stared out into the woods. "It's quite nice out here, A walk sounds nice. I've always liked the woods."

 

[WiLeo]

"Yeah, as long as nothing attacks us of course." William said as he gave Elinore a weird look on his face when she mentions wolves in a loud voice. Did she mean Beowolves or normal wolves? Strange...

 

[noalaniwolf]

Elinore stood up and smiled, "the only thing at risk of attacking us are grimm, and after a few years of clearing out anything that moved, I think they know by now to stay clear" Elinore said with a nod, "so let's go for a walk, it sounds like fun" she said happily

 

[WiLeo]

What did Elinore mean by "after a few years of clearing out anything that moved"? Did she literally kill most of the Grimm in this area before, after her family's death? Damn, scary huntress she's going to be in the future...


Shaking the thought away from his mind, William gives a thumbs up for the walk to Elinore with a smile. "Well, lead the way then."

 

[noalaniwolf]

Elinore smiled and started off towards the woods. She knew exactly where she was gunna take them, to that creek she and Anna always played at. Tavril was there too sometimes, but he was always a 'meanie pants' and Elinore used to say to her. He was Anna's friend mostly. But she digressed. "Hey, if anyone sees any signs of wolves, let me know" she said with a smile. There should at least be some tracks...somewhere.

 

[WiLeo]

As the group was following Elinore in the woods, William keeps looking on the ground for any strange footprints on the path they were using. I mean, why does she keep mentioning about wolves for anyway? "Willy, I scanned the area for any signs of life within a 1 mile radius, but I can't find anything at all. Well except for you guys of course." A.D said in a low volume, making sure the rest of the group doesn't hear his report to William. "It's really strange though, since I can't detect any signs of wildlife in the area too. Which means there's something dangerous nearby your group. Use extreme caution Willy, since you don't have Archdeath on you now." After giving his full report, A.D stays silent for the rest of the walk. After a few minutes of walking, the group approaches a small creek, seeing the clear water flowing down its long path peacefully.

 

[bokuwaoni]

Micheal walked to the graves and said a poem before moving on with the rest of the group loading one of the smaller rounds into his weapon.

 

[noalaniwolf]

Elinore ran ahead of the group when they approached the river, "Here it is!" she said as she ran by an old looking Ursa skull to the riverbed "Man, I used to play here all the time!" she said happily as she looked around. She hadn't been to the area in years. In truth, she was scared to. This was the first time she'd been there sense Anna died. Elinore sat down and started to take her shoes off, "if you're really lucky, you can catch a fish with your hands here" she said happily.

 

[bokuwaoni]

under his breath he whispered the poem thinking it over. "once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, or close the wall up with our english dead. in peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility; but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger: stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage. then lend the eye a terrible aspect." and took a soft strained step into the water of the creek.
