(Outskirts of Kouh)
A young man no older than 15 stands atop a hill, shrouded in a cloak, a sword on his right hip and raven on his shoulder.
Rain pouring down with thunder in the distance, he takes a deep breath, lost in this thoughts, Kouh his home that he was away from for 6 years, mother, father and elder brother that he's yet to see in 6 years.
Truthfully, he missed his family, but when he learned of the power he held and the danger it posed for his family, he had to leave. He had to get strong in order to protect them, is he ready? He isn't sure, but he had to return. A boy can only be away for so long.
Looking up at the sky, he wonders how his family react, will the welcome him with open arms? Have they moved on? Do they hate him? What questions will they have? Just how much can he tell them?
Azazel: Heh, brooding in the rain kid, really? Has vali rubbed off on you that much? Or is something on your mind, surely you know your family will gladly welcome you back, after all they don't even know what happened to you, an 8 year old vanishing without a trace just to come home to his family..best gift they could receive.
The man, Azazel, tall and well-built man, seemingly in his late 30s with black hair and golden bangs, stands to the left of the boy, hand gently placed on his shoulder
Y/N: mhm.. I don't know. It's just scary, imagining how they'll all react, the questions they're bound to have that'll be impossible to answer.
A conflicted look finds itself on y/n's face, a sigh escapes him, and he looks to the ground
Azazel: Look, kid, you're their son. You begin back is all that matters. Honestly, you should've ever been taken away, but Odin is a hard-ass, but Fenrir isn't exactly meant to be taken lightly, and the world craves power, it had to be done, honestly, we're surprised, but proud you gotten this far. I think going home is a well-earned and extremely late reward, so go kid, enjoy yourself, and catch up with your family.
Azazel hugs the boy, and he hugs back. They part, and a smile is on both their faces. The two have grown close in the time they know each other and have mutual respect and even love.
Y/N: Thank you..I'll be on my way then.
Azazel: Kid, there's a final mission for you, Luckily, it's right in town, and with your skills, it should be child's play. A small, low class group of mine is acting under orders of..him. My insider tells me they're after sacred gear users, as am I, but they seek to kill them. An ex nun, Asia Argento, has the sacred gear Twilight healing, and Issei Hyoudou is suspected to hold a sacred gear as well...I never asked them to be killed, only watched, with the situation as it is, I can't act in devil territory but..
Y/N: I can. Mhm, don't worry, it'll be done, and I'll deliver proper punishment. Thank you for informing me, Azazel, I'll head out now.
With that, the boy walks away, minutes pass, and Azazel smiles proud of who Y/N is becoming, a strong man who'll surely make the world more interesting.
( Kouh Academy, after school, old school building)
The Gremory peerage, one of the two devil, households governing the city of Kouh, Rias Gremory, the king of said peerage, a beautiful young woman with crimson red hair.
Akeno Himejima, another beautiful woman who looked mature with raven hair in a pony tail, held by an orange ribbon
Koneko Tojo, a small girl with white hair and a black cat hair pin.
Kiba yutto, a young, handsome man, with a decent build, not too skinny but not necessarily muscular either
And Issei Hyoudou, a brown haired boy who openly carries himself as a pervert, usually loud and hyper is rather quiet today, the entire room noticing this
Rias: Issei, are you okay? You've been unusually quiet, you may be new, but we're your family you can tell us anything and we'll help.
Issei is quiet for a few moments before he starts to shake, and his tears fall openly, sobbing. The room looks confused before they surround issei
Issei: My little brother..Y/N it's been 6 years since he..he disappeared without a trace, as my little brother I should have been there, I should've protected him. Mom and Dad have never really been the same. We don't even know if he's alive! He would've been 15 not too long ago.. I just- I miss him, we all do. He was a good kid, kind and extremely smart. He had this smile that could light up the room and a laugh that always made everything seem better.
Everyone looks at issei with a concerned look. Even the usually stoic koneko seems to be lost in thought at what issei said.
Before anyone could say anything, a call was received, and the group was alerted of a stray in Kouh. Unfortunately, duty calls, and they make their way to the location to stop anyone else from being harmed.
(Deep in the forest of Kouh)
A raven lands on the shoulder of y/n and informs him of the stray that lurks ahead, feeding on a human, the stray a humanoid monster, a torso of a man, the lower body of a goat, claws and a head with two sets of eyes and horns..a nasty looking creature, the unfortunate fate of devils whom stray from their masters, but what's done is done and there's no hope left for them. All the boy feels is pity.
He dashes towards the stray devil, and within minutes, he arrives and sends a kick straight to its chin. The stray is sent tumbling through the dirt.
(Y/N pov)
Y/N: ...I'm sorry, whoever you are, whatever reason you had for leaving your master it surely didn't need to result in the state you are in now. I'll end it quickly. You strays don't deserve your fate, but all actions have consequences.
The stray roars getting on its feet, and it runs towards me, and within moment's its infront of me? Before I have time to register, just how it happened, a pain is in my chest, from a hard kick, and I'm sent a few inches back.
It seems to be stronger than a usual stray..odd, must have already been strong before it turned..no matter I'll just use a little force. I feel magic fill my body and I dash towards the stray, it claws at me but I slide under its legs, stopping myself right after and spinning around sweeping its legs then kicking it in the air. As I jump up after it and kick its stomach, I send it crashing down, leaving a cloud of dust.
I hear a groan, which can only be from the stray. As the dust settled, it rushed back towards me, I sidestepped, jumped on its back, and grabbed his horns, as it felt me on it, it began to thrash, I focused Magic into my palms, turning it into lightning, shocking the stray and damaging it, but soon it launched me off of it and I crash to the ground. As I'm picking myself up, it's right in front of me "awe, crap baskets." it hits me with its hand, and I'm sent flying, crashing into the ground.
The stray is closing in, and before I can guard myself, it slashes me across the chest, I grunt before jumping away. "Alright, I'm taking this too lightly, I have to actually fight,"
I take a deep breath, feeling magic within my body and relase a powerful yell, wind magic escaping my mouth, a huge pressurized gust of wind smacks into the stray and multiple cracks are heard which can only be bones.
I make my way towards the stray and it comes at me, far slower than before, but much more bloodlusted, jumping at me I get out the way, as it continues to slash at me I dodged it all, taking out a dagger, I block its claws, sparks fly, it's claws seemingly made of steel, I push them off me, and strike hard in a swift cut, and a thud is heard, it's arm falling to the flood, it shrieks in pain and I shove my dagger in its throat ending the strays life.
Y/N: ..sigh, I'm truly sorry.
I set the body of the stray on fire and leave the area, making my way..home, for the first time in a long time
(Moment's later, no pov)
The Gremory peerage arive to see..nothing, well no stray at least, they see a hole in the ground, little blood and a burned patch on the ground, Akeno, the Queen of the peerage senses left over magic, the magical signature slightly simpler to isseis, even though the boy's magical powers is near non existence. But she thinks nothing of it..the gemory group are left with questions with no answer, as they all retire for the night.
(Hyoudou household,)
The boy, y/n arrives..outside his old home, anxious about seeing his family after so long and concerned over the fate his older brother might be in if what Azazel says is true..oh what is he saying, Azazel is always right, unfortunately. Seems like they both were born with something special. As he is lost in thought he senses someone behind him.
Issei: Hey! Who are you and why are you standing outside my house
y/n turns around and is greated with the sight of his older brother, and issei sees his little brother, after 6 years..the two see eachother again both lost for words.
