She was resting her body from the injuries sustained from that instantinous fight from before. Zalor was soaring the skies trying to find Kazimir. Hopefully, he hadn't disappeared into thin air like her brother. Oh, how she missed her brother. Hikaru ran through her mind. Now that he was gone, who was going to be head of the family now? She only assumed it would still be her father until Hikaru returned. A feeling bubbled up inside of her to think it might be given to her. To not get her hopes up, she shook her head and got up from her bed. She walked to the fridge and grabbed a half empty bottle of ale, the cheap stuff. She opened it and pour herself a glass. LeeAnn took a sip then set the glass down.
A small sigh escaped the kitsune's lips pondering on a few thoughts. Usually, she heard from her family. She wondered if they knew where she was. Leeann had not spoken to them since they were kicked out of the Rune Knights. There was not a word spoken about the whole issue with being banned from the Rune Knights for no reason. There was no media announcement about it nor people talking about it. It was kept a private matter, which she was a little surprised. Perhaps giving it more time will let the dust settle. Usually, a family as famous as the Nakamura family would surely make it to the headlines right away for something as big as being banned from the Rune Knights. She sat down on Manzo's couch thinking to herself.
"I have a bad feeling someting bad is going to happen" she said, outloud. Not even five minutes, there was a knock at the window. She looked over to see a messanger bird deliverying something. "Manzo's got mail?" thought the young woman.
She got up from her seat and opened the door to let the small bird it. It flew up a little to give her the letter. Gently, she took it and saw the red wax seal. Her eyes tilted a little. "I thought hte letter I sent them yesterday wouldn't get to them for another two days. That's...fast delivery service then" she wondered. It amazed her a little to see how fast a messenger carrier can fly nowadays. Zalor was a griffin and the one thing he was good at was speed. Who knew? Perhaps, he did deliver it like she had asked. It was from her Uncle though, not her father. LeeAnn took a deep breath and opened the envelope, breaking the Nakamura wax seal.
She read the letter:
- Letter to LeeAnn:
- Dear LeeAnn,
I write to you with grim news. A dark cloud has spread upon us for a while now. I know this family has been through a lot lately, but I bare even more grimmer news. The past few months we all though your Aunt Pasily was on a mission for the Blue Pegasus. We had not recieved word about what she is doing or her mission. I have tried the past few months to get some sort of answer from the mages, but I gotten nothing. It has only been six months since your Aunt has taken off. She was doing private work for Belldonna and couldn't tell anyone.
Belldonna had not recieved word about her status since she first started. All I know it was very risky. Though, Master Belldonna had finally gotten something from one of his guild members that she was killed. She was infiltrating a Rune Knight to see what was going on behind hte scenes and trying to figure out something top secret. Someone had found out her cover and killed her instead of turning her in. I am sorry to bring you the news so late.
Ontop of that, I do want to say that your father is promoting you to head of the family under certain conditions due to your brother being gone for the time being. You will have to announce for your Aunt's funeral and make a speech when you get home. I am not going to rush things, but I wanted you to know since you are apart of this family. I got your letter from your gryphon. Take your time, LeeAnn. You're going through a lot. So I am.
I may not be the best uncle, but I do know I am here for you. In the meantime, I am also getting married again to a wondeful woman whom I know you will love. Please, understand. I love you so much!
Sincerely,
Simon Nakamura
LeeAnn stood still. The air around her grew thick with humidity. How? What? She was hit in the head with a bag of bricks all in one letter. What in the world did she just read? She read it over and over until she could recite it from memory. The young Nakamura tensed her muscles in her hands. The letter crickled as she threw it to the ground nad stomped outside. A loud, deep throated scream escaped her lips as she cussed and raged. She set one of Manzo's house plants on fire as hse fell to knees. Mixed with rage and confusion, she fell into a defeated state. This was too much to take in for her. How? She could of not?!
LeeAnn remained there til' Manzo would get home. She would stay curled up in a fetal position with the letter lying a bit crickled on the coffee table for him to read. A fellow Rune Knight killed her Aunt? Her Uncle is already getting married? She's now head of the family? So much hit her at ounce it made her head spin over and over again.
