Leona POV
The grimore felt so right in my hand. It's leathery cover was cold, but set a burning fire of determination in my chest. I felt something, it was a warm emotion that made me feel... safe. "Hope..." I murmured as I flipped through the pages and saw multiple ways of handwriting, until a certain way of writing caught my eye."Mom..." Tears threatened to fall but I shook my head. "This is incredible. I got a grimore!" Happiness surged through my entire body and a smile spread across my face.
"NO WAY! YOUR FOURTEEN YEARS OLD!!!" Rian shouted from the top of his lungs untill I stuffed his mouth with leaves and a vine to keep his mouth shut.
"Shut it." I sweetly tell him with anger burning in my eyes.
"It's getting dark. Let's rest. I might even fall asleep." I change emotions and push myself to get up and stood; even if I was in excruciating pain.
We made it back to camp and laid on the floor. My eyes were heavy and eventually closed to a dark abyss.
~~~~~~~
I felt a warmth on my eyelids and opened them groggily. My vision was blurry and my eyes were dry, I blinked the life into my eyes and was able to see clearly again.I pushed myself up and shivered. Luena's words echoed throughout my head. This is only the beginning. She was starting to scare me a little, especially of I never even met this voice in my head; or if this voice was even a person and had a body. She might even be a monster that wants to eat the life out of me. Or the monster that killed my family... The thought slithered into my head making me tremble in anger and fear.
I look down and see my leathered book against my foot. I lean down to pick it up, as I do I dusted it off.
Knowing that this grimore was my mother's made a warmth form in my chest and her smile to be seen in my memories. A smile formed on my face, not the normal evil, threatning grin. This smile made me feel loved and warm. I pulled the grimore to my chest and gripped it. "Mommy..." I whimpered quietly.
Asta's POV
Her smile was small and sweet. Like the little kid she was hiding had shown itself at a time no one was watching. Well, I was. Then, she caught me by surprise as she whimpered, "Mommy..." quietly as she pulled her grimore to her chest.I quietly got up to see her face and saw water at the edges of her eyes. I stepped on a branch on accident. She turned with her eyes wide in surprise. Why at the most important moments I have to mess it all up... I cried on the inside as she backed up and wiped her eyes.
"A-Asta... I didn't know that you were... up." She franticly looked around. "Where's Yuno?" I blinked a few times before noticing he was missing. The bushes suddenly moved. Leona pulled out her daggers and shot out of her surprised face to a scowl.
"Calm down, it's just me."
Your POV
A familiar monotonous voice came from the shrub. "Ah, what's up emotionless." I held up my hand to high five him but he passed me."Boo, you're no fun..." I fakely complained and frowned. He shrugged and picked up his stuff.
"Let's go." He flatly told us as he went on.
"Aye, aye Captain Butt Face!" I saluted to his face then his ass and got my luggage too.
"Wait up!!" Asta lingered behind and pulled his stuff along. He made his way next to me and snickered.
"Nice name for Yuno. You gonna call him that for a long time?"
"Nah, the times passed." I rubbed my neck.
"Awe... I thought that name was cool." He pouted.
Cute. Though guys at this age started to get old and seductive... "I have way more where that came from." I patted his back and we never spoke until we saw something in the distance.
"Holy moly... that's really..." I had no words to express how beautiful it was. The place where the Magic Knights Exam was taking place. Finally, I can fight my guts out-
"YEAHHHHHHH!!!!" Asta's yell interrupted my thoughts.
"GOD DAMNIT, DON'T YOU EVER STOP!?" I fumed and he shuts up immedetly.
We finally arrived and saw all the stands and other types of magic. Amazing, I thought. So many other types I never even imagined existed. This'll be a lotta fun. I felt somthing warm near my arm.
"What the hell are you eating?" I gagged. Asta held stick with some type of purple worm on it.
"It's a violet snake! Wanna try?" He continued to munch and held it up to my face.
"Nah, I'm not hungry-"
Grrrrrr
...
Asta stared at me as I felt my face blush slighly as I noticed that was my stomach grumbling. "You sure?" Asta snickered as I turned away.
"Ye-"
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR MUST EAT!!!!!
Did my stomach just talk or was it just me? Nope, it was Asta adding a few words after my stomach growled for food. "Fine, gimme a bite." I mumbled as he gave me a bite. "Whoa that is actually good!" I exclaimed as bluntly as I could as the flavors burst in my mouth. A mixture of pepper and salt touched my tastebuds, and the sweet sensation of spice hit me like a brick to the head.
"Right!" Asta smiled as he took another bite. Wait a second... I TOOK A BITE OFF HIS STICK!! WITH HIS SALIVA ON IT!!!!! I shuddered at first than felt my face redden for some reason. What made me so red? Why was I red? Questions swirled my mind but I repressed them when I saw it. The place where the exam would take place.
It was magnificent and grand. It made me feel as if I was puny, mere bug. "Uwah!" I heard a woman say in awe. She was in the right to have that as her reaction.
"Man, we better hope that we actually get in; either in separate groups or one of us won't get in..." I felt myself shrink down into my sweater. It's warm embrace made me feel safer but I was still uncomfortable.
"Your talking about yourself, aren't you?" Yuno said it in his normal monotone voice without looking at me.
He was dead right.
I bitterly chuckled, it was cold as ice.
"What!? Leona, if anyone had a chance getting in, it would be you!" Asta's smile made me feel assured that I could do it for some odd reason. Maybe because he always smiled like a little kid.
"Huh, ya know what? You're right for once... I could get in." I nodded aggressively as we neared the booth where we would show our grimore's.
First Yuno. He got a lot of attention of course.
Next Asta. The man was disgusted by his grimore bit, but let Asta in.
Then, finally, me.
"This grimore looks familiar..." the man muttered under his breath. "Oh, this used to be Jenni's." My heart stopped.
"You knew my mom?" My words came out as an uncontrollable studder.
"Oh, you're her kid. Wait, if you have her grimore... oh. I'm so sorry for your loss..."
Pity. That look, that tone. I hate it. I despise it.
"She was a real beaut. The sweetest eye candy, and seems the apple didn't fall far from the tree." Before handing me my grimore back he stopped. "How old are you?" He seemed concerned.
"Thirteen years of complete misery."
His eyes widened, no surprise there.
I was walking off to the boys and heard the man say one last thing.
"Do your best, kiddo! I'm rooting for you!"
No worries. I will give it my all.
