Once there is an old legend which the ancient people of Valera believed. This legend is about one big family who came from the world of Rhynn will destroy them. This family is the Silver's family. The word silver is taken from their family name. The silver's contain lots of family in it. It is told that the strongest family in the silver's is The Silverwolf. Decade by decade, this legend is gradually forgotten by the people.
"Where are we Leon?" a girl ask his brother. The girl is about the age of five.
"How should I know?" Leon replied "we're definitely not at our home. Look at these forests Rena".
Leon is about eight, and they're lost in a forest. They've been walking for hour now. They're hungry and tired, but Rena didn't care about that. All she cares was his brothers wound. The wound is caused by a sword and its deep his brother knew that too. While in her thought, Rena spotted a cottage. The cottage is old and it seems that no one is using it anymore.
"Hey Leon, lets rest over there" Rena pointed at the old cottage.
"Are you crazy? That place is in the middle of nowhere. If you want to rest, let's find a village first. We won't know if a monster attacks us".
"Fine I give up just let me treat your wound first. Then I wont be noisy anymore", Leon did what his sister wanted. He doesn't want his sister to keep slowing them down.
By sunset, they found one small village outside the forest. The villager looked surprised at first, but they're friendly. They give them place to rest and some food. Both of them eat the food and suddenly they started to feel dizzy and finally fell asleep. Leon woke up finding himself in a cell. He stood up and looked around for his sister but he couldn't find her.
"So, you're finally awake." A man's voice can be heard from the other side of the bar. Leon spun around to see his face. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Morimoto Moriyama, I am one of the princess's butler. My reason to come here is to ensure you that you sister is safe. She is now currently playing with the princess." Leon was about to ask him when a young girl came with his sister.
"So this is your brother? You two don't seem to look alike." The girl exclaimed. "You there, I heard about you from your sister so I come here to make a request, I want you to slay ten 'Gale Wolf' which have been causing trouble to the towns outskirt. Your sister and I will accompany you along with Fayt to make sure you'll do it neatly." Leon rose up one eyebrow.
"Know what, I'm starting to think that today is a lecture day for me. Do you guys always talk that long?" Leon asked.
"Is that some kind of an insult?" the young girl asked.
"Come on now Raquel I'm sure nii-san (big bro) didn't mean it that way" said Rena.
The young girl known as Raquel shrugged. Then, Moriyama, the butler whisper something to Raquel.
Raquel then cleared her throat.
"I'm sorry it seems that I haven't introduced myself. My name is Raquel Van Kruez. I'm the princess of this eastern continent. What's yours?"
"Leon Pendragon" Leon lied. He is actually the member of the Silverwolf family. They have to lie about their identity thus they have a lot of surnames. Of course they were taught like that from a child and Rena also has no problem in it.
"Such a short introduction. Just like your sister here, you didn't tell where you came from nor why you were captured or even why you enter the forbidden forest yet walked out of it alive" Raquel sighed.
"Are you going to let me out or not? It's kind of cold here and I think I need to treat this arm of mine" says Leon as he rose up his left hand full of deep scratches.
"My oh my, how can you stand those kind of wound?" the old butler asked in awe. Rena and Raquel didn't say a word. "Those villagers must be really scared of you till they hurt you this much. It seems that your sister isn't hurt because of the law the princess added last year. Lucky her. If not because of that she would have shared the same fate as you and…"
"STOP!!" Leon raised his right palm to stop the butler from talking any longer. "Well? Are you going to let me out or not?" the boy asked.
"Yes of course and I shall ask a pharmacist to treat it if you like" the butler replied and opened the cell door.
"Need not to, Rena will help me and that's enough."
"How is a little girl being able to help?" asked the butler.
"Do you know how to use magic?" The butler nodded. "That's how she helps."
"A young girl is able to use magic? Healing magic even? That's absurd!" the butler exclaimed.
"She's only a beginner so it won't heal completely though, but it will be an enough proof to you. Rena, show it to them" Leon ordered his sister. Rena only nodded and extends her hand to touch her brothers wounded arm. A weak light is formed and slowly Leon's arm stopped bleeding but the cut still remains.
"WOW!" Raquel exclaimed. "How do you do that Rena?"
"I just focus my mana into the palm of my hand and wish to heal" she replied.
"So, now that my arm is healed, when shall I hunt the so called 'Gale wolf'? I can start now if you want" Leon said looking at his now healed arm.
"Not now young man, first you need a weapon and a proper cloth to travel with the princess I will show you where to get a cloth. Follow me" the butler lead Leon to the royal family's tailor house.
In the tailor house, there were variety styles of cloth. Leon took his time to look for the simplest cloth he could find. When he finally picked his cloth, the butler took him to the castle's blacksmith to choose his weapon.
"You can choose your weapon from this row and that row" the butler pointed at the first row and the second last row. "But never shall you choose from the last row."
"Is it okay for me to forge my own weapon? It will only take an hour" plead the boy.
"In an hour you say? Fine, you already proved that your sister can use healing magic. So maybe it's no surprise that you can forge in an hour."
And thus, Leon spend an hour in the smithy's (the name of the castle's blacksmith) workshop. He silently engraved some of his mana to make the sword stronger than the sword he saw on the row. This was one of the reasons for him wanting to make his own sword. The other reason is, that none of the sword will match his style of fighting (since most of the sword is western style and his fighting style need use eastern style sword).
"I'm done" he told the butler.
"Good, now let's have some lunch. Your sister, the princess and sir Fayt is waiting to have some lunch before you do the princess request."
"Okay" said the young boy wryly.
