Danmachi: A Daemon and His Sister

Bonds formed and a new friend

Third Person pov

The next few days went by much the same as Percy's first day at the Hostess of Fertility. The only difference is Estelle has more people to fawn over her. Anya is always giving her new toys. Chloe takes time out of her breaks to color and draw with her. Lunoire and May are more reserved, but are quickly warming up to Estelle and her brother Percy. Syr clearly adores Estelle, if the way she's always being pried off the poor girl says anything. Mama Mia is more like their mother than Percy initially thought, which isn't a bad thing. But Percy is definitely feeling more and more homesick because of it. At least it seems to be helping Estelle.

As for Ryuu, well Estelle has grown a clear attachment to her, if Percy isn't around then she's often seen by Ryuu's side holding her hand. Often whispering stuff in her ear causing Ryuu to smile lightly more often than not, and often being the one to make food for her.

Percy and Ryuu have gotten closer, it only makes sense given how close Estelle has gotten to Ryuu, they weren't friends quite yet, but she was the closest thing Percy had to one here, and it wouldn't be long before a true friendship was formed. Ryuu often took it upon herself to get stuff that Estelle would need, and help Percy on his shopping trips to get Estelle and sometimes himself, clothes.

Percy got along with everyone greatly even if to a lesser extent, Syr was a bit odd, but probably the person he was closest to after Ryuu and Mama Mia, and his sister Estelle of course. But things of course didn't stay that way, and this night was when things were truly going to start to change.

LINEBREAK: 3 DAYS LATER NIGHTIME.
FIRST PERSON POV: PERCY

I was on my way back to the Hostess of Fertility, after going to get more clothes for Estelle. Ryuu had volunteered to look after her as I did, she's been a real life saver lately. Maybe I should get her something, because these constant thank yous are clearly starting to annoy her and they don't seem genuine enough for what she's doing, but that's later mes decision.

"Well, it's good to be out of that uniform again, but I have to admit, it's kind of growing on me." I was talking to myself again, this time it was just to get rid of the silence.

It was dark outside by now and due to that, it was quiet. Or at least it should have been, because just then I heard some laughing. Not the jovial kind either, the type of cruel laugh someone might have if they were bullying another person. Well I had nothing better to do, I may as well check it out.

LINEBREAK THIRD PERSON POV

Liliruca Arde could be seen being thrown and hit around by members of her Familia, the Soma Family. They took her money again, and were about to kick her down the stairs.

When someone made themselves known. "Hey! Give her the money back and scram."

He was a young man just an inch over six feet in height, with tan skin, sea green eyes, black hair with a white streak running through it, and a stormy voice. He wore a pink t-shirt which showed his tanned arms, lean muscle riddled with scars, and great definition with an SPQR tattoo with a trident and three bars underneath it. A pair of black pants, and some plain white sneakers, he had a bag in one hand, and a small pink supporter pack slung over one shoulder.

At first glance he didn't exactly look threatening, but if one were to attempt looking unto his eyes. You wouldn't see a man in them. You would see an apex predator looking at it's prey, which had his mercy in their hands.

Tonight's prey had some sense. They gave Lili her money back, and ran as fast as they could in the opposite direction of the beast before them.
