Pegasus Manor, 10 years ago

"RAWWWWR!"
The screeching sound of a large beast is heard throughout the city of Orario. A terrifying sound that no person wants to hear. Black smoke is covering the entrance of the dungeon in Babel Tower. People are heard screaming in fear.
Further away, in the Manor district, an older man with long red hair stands at the entrance of one of the manors. This man is the god of the sea, Poseidon. He watches as his children are running around his home in panic of the current events.
"Brother, please be safe." Poseidon thinks to himself.
"Lord Poseidon!" A tall man with blonde hair yells out. Poseidon turns to face his Familia's captain and vice-captain, Thomas and Asia Victorian.
"What is it, Thomas?" The god asks.
"We have been sent a request from the Zeus Familia's captain, Maxim. They want our aid in their battle with the One Eyed Black Dragon." Thomas informs his god.
"So, Zeus and Hera's children are battling that beast." Thought Poseidon.
"Very well then, go forth my children, but please be safe out there." Poseidon orders. Thomas nods as he turns to his Vice-Captain/wife and gives her a small kiss. He then crouches down and ruffs the hair of a small blonde boy. He then turns and runs inside to prepare. Asia turns to Poseidon and kneels down.
"Lord Poseidon, I know this is a selfish request but please could you wat-" Asia begins, only to be interrupted.
"Of course I'll watch little Garth. You don't have to ask my child." Poseidon says, with a gentle smile on his face. Asia smiles back as she turns to her 7 year old son.
"My little Garth, I'm sorry but me and your father have to go and help. Your godparents, Brandon and Meteria, are both fighting so we will help them. You're going to stay with Lord Poseidon. Remember to be respectful to him and that we love you." She then gives her son a kiss on the cheek. Garth smiles as he walks to Poseidon while his mother heads off inside.
Poseidon looks down at Garth as Garth looks up at Poseidon. They stare at each other for a few seconds and both start laughing. Poseidon ruffles his hair as he motions for Garth to follow.
Garth looks back at the smoke with a worried look. "Garth my boy, don't worry about your parents. They are level 7 and level 6 adventurers. They should be just fine." Poseidon tells him as they close the doors to the manor.
The battle between the OEBD and the Zeus, Hera and Poseidon Familias was a long and hard battle for the Familias. In the end, the Zeus and Hera Familias were completely obliterated along with most of the Poseidon Familia.
The only surviving members were two people, Alfia and Zald. The surviving members of the Poseidon Familia abandoned their god after the battle. With the three strongest Familia's gone, the Loki and Freya Familias rose to power. Zeus, Hera and Poseidon were driven out by them, leaving them as the strongest. Poseidon stands at the entrance of Orario with Garth, preparing themselves to journey to Melen.
"Take a good look Garth, we won't be back for a long time. But when we do, you'll be stronger than anyone here." Poseidon says to now adoptive nephew. Garth looks at the gates one last time as he catches up to Poseidon.

At the entrance of Orario, a group of hooded figures look at the gate to the city of Orario.
"It's good to be back." The figure in the front says with a large smile.

AN: Well that's the first chapter of the story. I hope you like it and leave a review telling me what you like, what you don't like, or any ideas you suggest. Just to get this out of the way on some of the story facts, Ais is 11 years old and level 4. Bete has been in the Loki familia for a year and is 18 and level 4. Tione and Tiona are both 13 and level 4. Finn, Riviera, and Gareth are all level 6. Ottar is level 7. The story takes place a few months before the death of the Astrea Familia so they are alive and Ryuu is 16 and level 4. Well that's it for now, watch out for the next chapter. JA-NE
