Drowning in the sea of cherry blossoms

Leila Vergious  ❃  H-rank  ❃  Silver Wolf

Normally, Leila was someone who was sent for when the world was in trouble. Holding the title of God of Ishval as well as being one of the famous H-ranked mages, it was quite apparent why this was so. She was an important playing piece for the Magic Council and their uncovered schemes, a soldier capable of eradicating even the greatest of threads when shove came to push. Whether this became the new norm due to all that took place recently, the girl knew not. However, there was one thing she knew for certain. The letter that she had received this morning made her incredibly happy.

So what exactly was the subject of this letter? Well, it was from a young girl who was apparently a big fan of the Silver Wolf’s master. Something a bit unexpected, as a lot of the more powerful mages were almost seen in a negative light due to their immense power. If they decided to suddenly go rogue, the world could very well be over. Though, honestly, the silver-haired maiden did not feel like she belonged to those ranks. Yes, she had a considerable amount of power when she had to be serious, but she did not think herself one of such almighty beings.

Regardless, she continued to read from the piece of paper. While conveying many of her feelings, the little girl also mentioned cherry blossoms in Rose Garden, the town where she apparently lived. Beautiful trees that made just about any scenery like a piece of art. But recently, their petals started falling in a much greater amount, as if someone had enchanted the trees themselves to produce endless amounts. Now the streets were littered with these and people had to be cleaning them day after day. She wished that someone like Leila would be around to help them.

Honestly, it all made her chuckle. It has been a long time since she had received a message like this, it was quite amusing. But at the same time, she took it all seriously and to her heart. Rose Garden. It’s been a while since she visited that place. Far too long, even. And so, packing few essentials things, she decided to open a warp gate over. The blue and black portal opened up in her room easily enough, allowing her to take few simple steps and be where she needed to be. Some types of magic were just far too convenient to not have.

Looking around, it became very quickly clear that her little fan was not lying either. She warped to the edge of the city, but even from here she could see a good bit of the damage. Beautiful, yet troublesome at the same time. How peculiar indeed. Resting her hands at her hips, she looked over the roads that were in front of her, wondering what the best approach would be. Unfortunately, her powers were not quite connected to the control of wind, which would be most helpful at the moment. But perhaps there would be other people here that she could work with to solve this problem?

Leila Vergious  ❃  H-rank  ❃  Silver Wolf

Plenty of different individuals were gathered around in order to help clean all the fallen cherry blossom petals from the way, but it was just no use. They were falling faster than they could sweep them away, not to mention that they also had to then transport them someplace where it all could be burned or otherwise disposed of. In other words, they either needed to figure out the cause of all this first and stop it before cleaning, or showcase some powerful abilities that would be able to get rid of all the petals at once.

And since Leila was someone who liked efficient and more permanent solutions, she figured it’d be best to try to former. There must have been something wrong with these trees and she planned to find out. But before she could, a voice called out to her. A boy with hair of similar color to her own, as well as gleaming red eyes. He knew her name. But then again, it was not hard to find out who she was as long as one followed the doings of the magical world. Turning to him, she performed a small, yet elegant bow.

“Good day. That is my name, yes. Leila Vergious of Silver Wolf. Might I help you, um…” Though on the other hand, she had no idea who he was at all. Even if he was someone who she should recognize, the girl was unfortunately stuck in her own little bubble the past months. A lot has happened that drastically changed her life, so surely no one could blame her for spacing out on the world like that. She was still trying to catch up on everything, hoping to gain an actual view again. It was not easy, however. The world was a big place and a lot was happening at all times.

As the introductions were going on, she also slowly approached a nearby cherry blossom. Not in a way that would make it look like she was not interested in the male, just one that allowed her to multi-task a little bit. Placing one of her palms on the bark, she concentrated and allowed the life within the tree to whisper its secrets to her. Not only that, she could feel the magical influence on the tree the moment she touched it. “Someone is enchanting them with a spell…” And with a bit of magical sensing, she could potentially even track the culprit down.


For now, though, her gaze returned back to the one who approached her. “Yes, I heard about the problem and decided to help you. It seems that someone is feeding magic to these trees, making all of this happen on purpose.” There was no reason to not disclose this kind of information, even if she didn’t really know this person. Still, this was shaping to be a potentially interesting day. Someone was trying to harm this place by helping the trees around here blossom. She couldn’t help but find it all funny and a bit ironic.
