My name is Leone, Leo for short, when I was young, my home, Planet Cosmic was destroyed by Selina's demone padre, Acheron. I was sent to earth in Naples, Italy, where a couple, June and Louis, found me at their doorstep and raised me until they perished at the hands of Acheron's soldiers.
One thing however, I wasn't human like the two of them, I was a Cosmic Creature, alien deities that protect concepts in the multiverse... or go a dark route and end up as a Corrupt Deity. I may look like a lion, but c'è più di quanto sembri.
My childhood was bizarre, all it took was a pair of glasses for me to blend it with humans, they never once suspected me an alien resembling a lion, a bit strano....
Naples is filled with wonders, that's for sure. In fact, that's where I was, alongside my Nightborne variant and fratello, Shaldon.
Now, Shaldon is a wise wizard, in fact he's the reason Team Azure was formed, after his timeline was destroyed by an evil Namekian named Neon, but that's another storia.
"Leo, I'm confused why you wanted me to come here? We've been doing miniscule hero tasks like saving kittens from trees, and without using any powers! I hate to sound like Daisuke but I'm too used to us beating up people that can destroy the multiverse!" the Nightborne didn't sound all too eccitato.
I laughed at his pouty remark, "Dalla luce Shaldon, we may be powerful but that just makes us all the more beneficial to save others, not everything has to be saved with powers, sometimes we need to rely on our natural abilities! Why do you think I'm not supposed to use the Swirl to get what I want? It's because I would rather work my way up for it, my life would be too boring if I had everything I ever wanted."
Shaldon nodded at me, "Wise words Leo, now then, do tell me, is there something about Italy in particular that makes you feel nostalgic?"
Chuckling, I gave him an answer, "Italy is where I grew up as you know I feel quite at home, and no feccia demoniaca to ruin our day! Comunque....."
I told Shaldon the time when I was younger and living alone due to my parents' demise, that I wanted to use my powers to save a house from a falling lightning rod, however, with so many people watching, I wasn't able to...
I recall my padre telling me, when reading me a fairy tale, that not all problems are solved with powers, sometimes we have to work to get where we want, although this had to be a menzogna... My parents coming to terms that I was a Cosmic Creature was a visible aura.
In spite of that errore, I still made an effort to use my causality manipulation to restore the damage, but that was my Caduta....
A citizen noticed my "disguise glasses" fall off, he said in awe, "You're that super lion from Africa that comes to Italy to save others!"
The comment made me feel unwelcomed, however, he'd then say, "Keep doing a good job! Don't let a mistake put you down!"
Shaldon finished hearing my storia, "By the Nightwell Leo, your resolve is as stalwart as you say!"
I smiled at him, "So, want to continue saving others?"
Shaldon then frowned comedically, "You know your story conveys irony? You telling me we can't use our powers to save others, yet you used it in the end!"
I placed my paw on my face and screamed, "Oh merda!"
He was laughing at the irony.
"So Shaldon, how was your past? you never told me about how Suramar was before Neon erased it." I asked him.
Shaldon straightened his long eyebrows, preparing to tell his storia; "Finally someone asks! Well, it happened ten thousand years ago, Night Elves secluded themselves from the world, there were demons called the Legion attacking various portions of the continent, some of us were Highborne, we perceived ourselves as royalty, the big giant of the elven groups, one day, we found something, called the Night Well, it changed our lives completely, from Night Elf to Nightborne, or Highborne to Nightborne, I was born a Night Elf, my parents were completely Nightborne, I was unique from my siblings, for some reason, they all were born Nightborne, a bit of a tongue twister. It wasn't until my 13th birthday that my parents took me to the Nightwell, to drink from it, that was when I became a Nightborne, I had no friends to congratulate me however... I was always the anti social type, for over 9000 years. I would express my emotions within my artwork, eventually, I learned about how to control and absorb arcane energy, I could create illusions and dispel them just like the nobles. And as you know eventually the 4 of us-"
I recalled something that made me derail the whole storia della lezione.
"Apetta un minuto! When Gavin and Daniel were fighting in the Blue Nexus, something felt off, I wasn't able to use my powers on Daniel.... that can mean only one thing...."
Epilogue
Meanwhile in New Suramar, Daniel was walking around, dancing like he was in Spider-Man 3, hitting on girls with his cringey flow.
Daniel noticed a persistent catch of his, Valentina, she noticed him too and rolled her eyes, "What did I say about, as you earth people call it, "hitting on me"?!"
He ignored her words, using the element of wind (and surprise) to raise him from the ground he did something unexpected, he kissed Valentina on the lips.
One person witnessed the event, Selina, Valentina's girlfriend, "B-babe...?"
Valentina broke out of the kiss, "Blauck! Selina, it's not what it looks like!"
Selina didn't listen to reason, tears flew down her eyes like stray bullets, Trixie was a bystander in the situation, she watched as Selina fled somewhere outside of New Suramar to cry her soul out.
Valentina pursued her lover, "Selina wait!"
Only Trixie and Daniel remained, Trixie glared at Daniel, the void was visible from her eyes, "What the hell did you do that for!? I should just drop you right into a void and have you erased!"
Daniel slicked his hair back, nonchalantly, not caring, "You're welcome to try that, but what would Daisuke think? He'd think you've gone bad again. I'd watch it if I were you, elf ears!"
Trixie growled in frustration as she watched Daniel walk away, invincible. She did her best to defend her best friends.
Elsewhere, Selina was out in her room in Azure Tower, crying and cutting herself with her claws, "I thought she loved me....What am I feeling right now....?"
Valentina could hear Selina's cries of agony, and was tentative to explain things, everything felt topsy turvy, even Valentina herself was crying in the shadows at the situation of their relationship.
In another time and space, Daniel was walking in his timeline of Earth 6, it was night time, nobody was hitting the sidewalks.
"You shouldn't be walking out alone in the middle of the night!" Suddenly, a figure in red armor approached Daniel, they began attacking him with a flurry of punches and kicks, only for him to block them all.
"LIGHTNING BOLT!" he shouted as he attempted to hit his opponent, only for them to dodge.
THWACK!
Down on the ground Daniel went as a mace his adversary was carrying brought him to his knees.
The armored individual scoffed at him, "Daniel honey, being with those superheroes for not even a week has softened you up!"
The confident Shaman laughed, "Oh babe, you know that's not the reason I lost."
The armored woman saw to her lover and helped him up, "I know you used those rubber lips I gave you... right? So it doesn't count...."
"Of course, why would I be in love with some squid bitch? After all the whole point of me being on the team was to spy on those "super" heroes...." Daniel cackled.
He wasn't done however, the woman opened up the helm of her armor, revealing a familiar face.
"And to ruin your sister's life... Ramona, my true lover!"
Daniel and Ramona began laughing menacingly, just what is this!? Why is Daniel evil?! And after so long why does Ramona decide to be a big fat meanie toward Selina!? All will be revealed soon, keep reading Team Azure to find out true believers!
