-The Story Begins-
Somewhere in a large plain land. There was a boy. at the age of seven was on the plains in the middle of nowhere. Then the sounds of footstep was heard from the scene and there was someone wearing a cloak, looking down at the boy sleeping in the plain on daylight. The Next scene was somewhere else. A log cabin. But outside was a Hammock. Surrounding by vast grasslands. Sleeping on the Hammock was the young boy. The young boy slowly open his eyes and revealed his eyes are purple. The boy then see the clear sky.
"Ughh…" The slowly got up as he look around the scenery. "Huh?"
"You're awake."
The boy turn to the old man who was cooking a meal. Then begin to bring the plate over to him as well as water. "Good afternoon young man."
The boy title his head. "Who… Who are you?"
"I am Makarov. Your caretaker." Answered the old man.
"Maka…rov? Where am I?" The boy asked
"You're in Nord Highland." Makarov answered
"Nord… Highland? Where is that?"
"You have much to learn young man. All will be explain. Right now. Eat. You must be hungry." Makarov said as he sit down.
The boy look at the foot and it was meat with carrots. He begin to take a bite out of it and then eventually. He engulfs it.
"Thank you." The boy politely bow.
"No need. Tell me… you have a name?" Makarov asked
"My name…" The boy look down and think slowly. Then look up at the sky. "Levi… Levi… Sullivan."
"A pleasure to meet you Levi Sullivan. Today, you will be in my care. The world can be a harsh place. Even outside of Nord Highland. There is a lot you must learn young child."
"A lot… to learn…" Levi trailed off.
"Yes. You must learn to fight and defend for yourself. As well as magic. And many other you must learn in this world. But first. Let me get you some clothes." Makarov said.
-Three years-
Levi was singing in the Church in the town of Saint-Arkh. Levi enjoys singing and playing his Lyre. He was also learning in Sunday school. Levi enjoy making friends there. And after Sunday School. His "Grandfather" pick him off and begin to head somewhere.
"Did you have fun, Levi?" Makarov asked
"Yeah! It was a lot of fun. So Grandfather. Where are we going next?" Levi smiled and asked
"We're going to Legram and I will teach you about the legend there."
-Arriving at Legram-
It took about 5 days on Horseback. Well, Levi was riding the horse while Makarov just follow him. Anyway, Levi was awe when looking at Legram. Makarov begin to tell Levi about a lot of things for his brain to absorb. Soon sunset begin to arrive. And then soon. They begin to leave so head back to Nord Highland. As Levi was preparing his horse as his "grandfather" help him climb up.
"Alright, Levi. I'll catch up with you shortly. You know where to go, right?" Makarov asked
"Yep. Of course. But are you sure?" Levi asked in concern.
"I'm certain. Now ride along now."
Levi nodded then begin to gallop away. As Makarov see Levi going ahead for now. Makarov turn his head and give a sharp glare looking at a direction. And then begin to walk away.
And zoom out. There was a mysterious stranger in silver armored who is standing over the building where no one is looking at it.
"The elderly man has noticed me. Giving me a sharp warning through his glaze. But what concerns me is the boy who rode off. That boy… I sense tremendous power coming from him. Almost like Holy. What is he… could he be…"
7 years later
Levi was 17 years old now. His hair extended to his shoulder and he looks more mature now. Levi has been training by Makarov his past life and explore most of Erebonia as well. Training, exploring, Common Knowledge. He wondered so much. He always live a Shelter life in Nord but frees to explore as long as he doesn't go to the location he cannot go there. While his curiously gets the better of him. He always gets caught. During those years. Levi was already continuing with his training. Becoming more skilled with the Glaive on foot and on horseback along with Archery. And gain new skills as well. One like listening to the wind like those who live in the plain. Because of that. And with practice. He completely aim a bullseye on the target. Even moving targets. Makarov's rigorous training regimen was completely hard as hell. But because of that training. Levi became a stronger young man with virtue. His attacks are strong, swift, graceful, flexible. Fought countless monsters during the years. Yet even he had my downsides and terror. Even scars on his body. His arms, chest, legs. It was painful but this is proof of my manhood. Yet he still want to get stronger. Honestly… both education and battle experiences were large work his whole life. Makarov told me that even Jaegers do this kind of training every day. Levi asks if he's one or he was. He answered none. And claim to be a formal combat instructor but retired. But he wasn't always alone. He has magical familiars. A Hamster familiar and a Slime. The adorable little slime and Hamster who are capable of human speech.
The young man name Levi still wondered to this very day. And how come he is always isolated from the world? He desires to visit places with Makarov because of Common sense and Sunday school but… actually, there are a lot of questions. Who is he? And how come the world has magic and no one knows about it? Well, Makarov taught him that no one in the world can use magic because they lost the teaching of magic and they've forgotten it. So only he and him are the only one who are capable of wielding magic. but in truth. Theren't weren't the only one. There are different people in secret who can use magic. Lost to time. Levi understands because people will panic because if he use magic, it would leave a shock and no one can use magic, let alone him. So maybe that's why he's isolated from the rest of the world? But like to see what the world has to offer. Someday he can.
The next day. Makarov took him to Heimdallr, the Vermilion capital. While he studying the information Makarov beat it to him in his brain. He was happy but has learned a lot. He is right about nobles around this empire. Many are Putrid. And also learn about the Orbal revolution and learn typing from Orbal computers for education. Still. He was able to enjoy it for the time being visiting the other cities when he was little. And learn in the Sunday school there are 7 elements in the world. The main elements are Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind while the upper Elements are Time, Space, and Mirage. His training allows him to sense many things within the upper elements and other magical forces. Makarov train Levi hard yet this proves to be useful. But Levi is always with Makarov. And now, both Levi and Makarov is heading to Mater park because I'm going to perform there as Levi requested Makarov. Levi was singing a beautiful song called Beauty and the Beast. It was quite popular. Some even look for me because the song would be used for the Opera house. Even recruit him. From what I've heard. Of course, there are some who have also been heard some even tried to take credit. They end up being punished by Makarov and Levi. Now then, While Levi was singing, Suddenly a gunshot is heard and that stop his singing as he turn to the direction and then see a group of robbers was being tailed by a group of soldiers in uniforms and the robbers are heading towards the park. The people panicked and ran away as Levi sighed.
"Master, may I?" Levi asked
"You may but don't kill them." Makarov said.
And then Levi brought out his Glaive and then spin it and then throws a large rotating way in a straight line. It strike at the bandits with a strong blow and they were on their knees and some even collapse. The Glaive return to his hand and he put it away. Soon the robbers were arrested. And then one officer approached and thank Levi for helping apprehend the thieves. Levi replied it was nothing. And he joke that they did ruin his performance. As the soldier left. Just as they begin to head out.
"That is quite the impressive display young man."
And then came forward was a tall man with violet eyes. His long hair worn loosely to his shoulders, and wears a fancy white coat with blue stripes and a red neck tie scarf. He wears green trousers and knee-high light brown boots.
"Oh thank you. Sorry that the show was ruin by robbers, though." Levi replied
"Indeed my friend. Hearing that beautiful Lyre reminds me of another beautiful melody that whispers to my ears of love. But I'm also impressed with your skill with the spear. You must be strong aren't you?"
"Yeah. But I still wish to be stronger still."
"Oh? Whatever for?"
"Well for… huh…" Levi begin to think. "Well for self-defense is one thing but… the rest are a blank actually."
"We should be leaving now." Makarov said.
"Oh, okay… well, goodbye Mr…" Levi trailed off.
"Please call me Olivert. And if you wish to get stronger… I know a way I can help." Olivert introduces himself.
"How?" Levi asked
"Tell me. Do you know a prestigious Academy call Thors?"
"As in Thors Military Academy?" Makarov asked as he looks interested.
"The very same. I have a friend there who can help out with that." Olivert replied with a smile.
"Thors… Thors… isn't that the Elite Academy to teach warfare?" Levi asked
"Yep. But it's more than just teaching Warfare. It's also a place where dreams come true! I went there and so did many other people such as the royal family." Olivert smiled
"I see…" Levi titled his head
"Hmm… you said your name was Olivert, yes… as in Olivert Lenhiem?" Makarov asked
"Who?" Levi asked
"Ah, I see you're a fellow fan. It's pleasure. And you are correct my good sir." Olivert smiled.
"Hmm… you do look the part… yep. There's no mistaking it." Makarov said. "I was thinking it's time actually."
"Time for what?" Levi asked
"For you to enroll at Thors. You'll make plenty of friends there." Makarov said.
"Really?!" Levi look happy with joy.
"I figured it's time for you to make friends your age. And what better for a school. But he needs the paper works, correct?" Makarov said.
"Of course. Why don't I send you the Academy enrollment-"
"I apologize but we travel. So we don't have any mail address." Makarov interrupt
"Oh? But then… how will you receive and send the letter?" Olivert asked
"That's… true…" Levi look sad.
"No need to worry bout that. Just give me the letter. I will be in this location all day. But how long will it take to progress?" Makarov asked
"Well if you wish to do it now. It will take about 5 days." Olivert answered.
"Then let us get the paperwork done and then you can send it to your friend. I will wait here when the time has arrived." Makarov said.
"Hoho. If you insect good sir." Olivert chuckled.
-5 days later-
Levi was training hardback in Nord as he continue fighting strong monsters he summoned for battle. And then Makarov arrived and then Levi finish it off. Once that is done. Makarov open the letter.
"Dear Levi Sullivan. We are excited to inform you that your acceptance to Thors Military Academy." Makarov said.
"I got in!? YAAAY!" Levi cheered with excitement.
"Congratulations Levi!" A Hamster jump on the left shoulder of Levi.
"We know you can do it!" A slime cheered and appeared on Levi's other shoulder
"Thank you guys!" Levi smiled.
"This will be your uniform." Makarov pulled a red uniform. 'This Uniform is Class Vll.'
"Alright, thanks, Master!" Levi then took the Uniform and then awe at it.
"You will head to Hiemdallr train station and ride the train there leading to Trista. That is where the academy is. Remember what I told you when you're there." Makarov sternly said.
"Yes, of course." Levi smiled.
Hey there guys! I'm still new to this whole typing thing. But I love trails of cold steel games! So I wanted to create one of my own. Just so you know. I'm not much of a good writer. I have a lot of flaws and possible spelling errors. Sorry about that. In any case. Welcome to the story of Levi Sullivan. Want to know about Levi? Well, here's the profile! You can see in the next chapter and other things! Like the opening? Too be honest. I kind of also need help with the Trails of Cold Steel music. But I'm sure I can find the right one and match it just like how it was. Enjoy! Hope this goes well.
