Leona POV
I run as fast as I could to the church. It wasn't like I was afraid of the lightning and thunder, I was just slightly intimidated by it... yeah.

I dashed inside and slipped, gliding in the air and face planting again. For some odd reason, I always face planted when I fall.

I jump up and shake off water like a wet dog. "Brrrrrrg!" I grumbled as I rubbed the sides of my arms and shivered.

"Heheh, still 'intimidated' by lightning and thunder" Father air quoted intimidated.

"Shut it old man!" I hissed.

~~~~~~~~
They had trapped me in this god-forsaken place, kept me away from my tree, my home. Asta somehow got a grimore and is more powerful than ever. Kinda.

They had given me clothing to wear, but I had refused. They offered me warm dinners, but I refused. They pleaded me to take a bed next to the other out casts of this place, but I refused. Nothing they had offered me seemed to entrance me or catch my eye. They all seemed to want to get close to me, but I distanced myself. No matter how hard they tried, I wasn't satisfied with staying in this place.

I was walking past one of the doors and heard wailing. The old man? I opened the door a crack and saw him. Many questions swirled around in my head. I started to listen closer.

"I can't belive that I'm letting those two go. What if Asta doesn't make it? Worse... WHAT IF HE DOES MAKE IT INTO THE MAGIC KNIGHTS!?" He blabbered on. Wait, the boys are going to... join the Magic Knights? I listened in and found out that Father didn't belive Asta could make it. I clenched my fists and grit my teeth.

"But, if he doesn't make it, he will come back home and I get to care for him more!"

THAT IS ENOUGH!!

I kicked the door down with my head low. These assholes...

Father's POV
"L-Leona?" I whispered. She held her head down. Her messy Bun-tail (Hairdo created by me!) brushed against her face.

"Have some damn faith... you are Priest, right?" She mumbled as she lifted her head to show her angered face.

"W-well, Asta can't possibly-"

"Shut up. Asta makes the impossible possible. He got a grimore without any magic, none. Yet you still underestimate him." I bite my lip as her words pierced my heart.

She turned around to leave before saying, "You are no Priest without faith. Keep that in mind." She finally walked out and slammed the door. Was she right?

Your POV
My blood boiled. My face red in anger. I've never defended a person in my life. But, for some reason, I felt like I owed him one. Him and Yuno. "Heh, unbelievable..." I muttered under my breath. I turned and trotted away towards outside.

I slept outside for comfort. To feel like... home. Below me was leaves I had gathered for a comfy bed, above me was the night sky with twinkling stars and the bright moon with its light illuminating me in white.

When I was outside it felt like I was connected with nature, maybe it was because I have plant magic. Or I am just a natural hippy. I got a light chuckle out of that thought. Nature had fresh air, beautiful animals, and natural resources everywhere. No matter what, outside was my home and always is.

I lifted up my hand in the air, trying to touch the air then gently made loose fist.

"That feeling of freedom is intoxicating.
Sometimes I don't even understand what I'm saying.
No matter what I do,
I always saw the world like you...
When I look in the mirror,
I see your face.
Its never been clearer,
My fate had been sealed with lace.
I try to get your face out of my head
But you always push yourself in,
You were the reason I got out of bed
But now you see I have sinned.

Now that you're gone
I can't even sleep,
I won't stop singing this damn song
Because I have dug myself too deep...

Your smile,
Your gentle touch
Have been lost for a while,
I have so many bloody cuts
From training for you
No matter how I much I try
To forget you, I can't
Because I have dug myself too deeeeep."

I moved my hand to my chest and clenched it. "Mom..." I whispered.

'No matter what, it's like you watch me from the moon. It makes me feel so close to you. I miss you, it's all my fault...'

I felt tears threatning to fall but snapped out of my depressed state. I finally drifted to sleep. For the first time in three weeks.

~~~~~~~~

I wake up, feeling dizzy and uncoordinated. I moved my position and fell off on guess where? My face. "Ow, every goddamn time..." I grumbled. I groggily got up, wobbling with every step I took towards the church. "Guess I must really hate this place if I can't even walk there..." I joked with myself as I made my way to the wretched place.

I enter to see everyone up. Looking at me, for god-knows what reason. "Why the hell are you all stare'n at me for?" I growled at them as I sat at the table.

"Well, L-Lee, seems you're going to try out for t-the Magic Knights..." Father nervously chuckled loudly to hide what he said, but I heard every word.

"WHAT!?" I yelled with hint of anger in my voice. "I don't even have a grimore... how would I even get in?" I started to think aloud.

"We have no idea, but he said you would make it in somehow." Father mumbled while pressing his index fingers together.

"Well, guess we're on our way!! Come on, let's go!" Asta yelled as he pulled me along.

"Bye!!"

"We will miss you!"

"Give it your best!"

"Show 'em who's boss!" The others shouted encouragements to us as Asta hauled me away with Yuno.

"EH!?"

Your journey begins now.

I guess Luena's right. But, I don't even have a grimore. No matter what, I will find out.
