Kiwo and Rii walked out of Mister Crimson's house, they had found clues on who this Leon person may be but unfortunately, it was nothing concrete. They both went back to Kiwo's house, completely exhausted, social interactions were harder than Rii had thought.
Kiwo placed a bowl of warm soup on the table in front of them and took a bowl for himself as well.
-hey, don't worry, I'm sure we'll find out who 'leon' is! We just didn't have any luck today. Kiwo said, trying to encourage Rii.
"And why did it have to be Leon out of all the names possible. Leon means crystal clear, it was probably given to a person to reflect their personality. sigh… couldn't it have been something easier to find, like, I don't know… eirhwei?*"
On that night, Kiwo wrote a letter to his parents, informing them that he had a young teen under his protection. He sent it by hoo-mail, as he calls it. The letter is transported by an owl to his parents and they will send back the owl with a response in about two days. It was fast travel since the owl was well trained and the Kebni country wasn't too far away.

As the next two weeks passed, Kiwo became a little more worried, the owl wasn't coming and the sky was growing dark.
Kiwo sighed.
-I heard that ever since the deity of the sky perished the sky has been hugely unstable, ever since the war of chaos, the people have started to say that Anaris* has cursed Servonah to an impendable doom. Kiwo said as he looked fently at the sky, almost scared it would collapse, murmuring to himself. They say the sky can be influenced by the mana around it… So what could 'that' possibly mean…
Suddenly, a bang was heard, and Kiwo jumped from his chair, surprised.
-Oh Mihon!* He said looking at the window. Weiwei, how could you scare me like that!
The messenger owl had struck the window. Kiwo rushed outside and picked up the bird, heading back inside he saw Rii peeking their head out of their room, intrigued by the sudden sound.
The owl was carrying a small backpack, Kiwo and Rii looked at the grey animal turn and show the bag on its back. Kiwo took the initiative and opened it, revealing a marine blue envelope. He took it, flipped it and took a look at the stamp. He glanced at Rii and said:
-It's from my parents.
The stamp was his family's crest. It was a silver diamond-shaped stamp with a large line in the middle, making it look like a dragon's iris*, made from candle wax to insure the envelope was sealed so no one other than family members could open it.
Kiwo frowned as he looked at it, probably wondering why they needed that much protection. He opened it carefully and took out the inside. There were two white sheets of paper.
The owl approached his backpack towards Kiwo's hand and shook it, a noise came from inside.
"Cling" "cling"
Kiwo plunged his hand in it and took out two very small bottles, on one was written [to breath] and on the other was [ to drink]. Kiwo's eyebrows twitched and he carefully placed them on the table.
Kiwo opened to two papers, they were both covered in words, to Rii who had just started to learn how to read and write, it gave them a headache.
Kiwo started to read it outloud, it was similar to the lines of:
Dear son, we are happy to see that you are doing well and that you have found a small family outside of Magentias and Kebni. Do not worry we have advised the marchands of our shops and they will pester you no more. Please do visit us once in a while, we would love to meet Rii and talk about what you two have been up to. Sincerely, Kiyi and Mael, your loving fathers.
Kiwo said it was corny but Rii noticed he was smiling while reading the text. He then quickly wrote a reply, saying that they would soon visit to get Rii some clothes that fit them and that he loved them too.
Since Kiwo had only read the first page, he went onto the next. That page was about the family business and how Kiwo's siblings were fighting to be successor. He had missed his younger siblings, but not their constant bickering. Kiwo had a little brother named Nor who was two eras[4] younger than him, he was energetic and had a passion for knowledge. His other sibling was named Sar, one eras[2] younger than Kiwo, he was a prodigy in the art of the sword, they earned the title of the silent knight, they are mute. Kiwo was eager to see his siblings again, it had been at least four eras since they had last seen each other. Kiwo looked at the letter and suddenly thought:
" Wait, why did we have to wait for two weeks? It's normally way… faster"

Mihon-> meaning: mih = mask/ on = eyes( can also mean 'no mouth' or 'just eyes' ||
An equivalent of Jesus( i guess?)
its a man who spoke out of righteousness and was punished by the unkind, his tongue was cut off. he was made into a religious figure by the people who followed him, some made masks to represent him, the masks were without a mouth or a mouth covered. They often used those masks to go confess their sins in a church, it symbolizes the desire to express themselves without confessing who they are.
Anaris-> Deity of the sky, the chaos being who reins the skies and one of the numerous people who died in the War Of Chaos. ( The War Of Chaos is a huge battle instigated by the humans to gain their freedom from the higher beings) ( higher beings are for exemple Gods, Chaoïs ( chaos beings) and deroïds or as they call them, demons. )
Eirhwei means dark wind, Kiwo picked that name because he thinks he thinks it's a shit name to give to your child.
Dragon's iris-> it's referring to the form of the dragon's iris as it is in the shape of a diamond like this:
