Leon Kaizen
knew his way in the Flooded District
like the back of his hand
some would think he was born here
but in truth
he came for the whale oil
however it was being protected
by acid spitting plants
starving and cold
he finds a room with a bed
using a pot to make a fire
Leon sleeps
moaning can be heard
the weepers are getting close
he escapes
landing in the water swimming across
exhaustion gets to him
he sinks deep
when he awoke
and he is not alone
a man in red stirs the pot
notices the boy looking at him
he gives him soup
Leon devours the soup within seconds
the man tells the boy
he has two choices
to join him
and have food and a bed
or leave and scavenge
Leon didn't need to think
he knew his answer
Leon Kaizen
Daud's first apprentice
the First Whaler
killing under his orders
he never went back for the whale oil
