Chapter 9 - William's pen

The boy named Leon suddenly woke up, he seemed upset over something, he was acting like he had died, he looked around and then calmed down.

Leon then looked out the window, the sky still had the blue moon, and on his right side was his little brother, on the right side of his brother was the two boy's mother, and on Leon's Left was their father, all of them except for Leon were sleeping peacefully.

...

A four-legged figure was disturbing the peace of the great cat, the great cat woke up and jumped straight at the four-legged figure, the figure was the newly added member of Leon's family. It was the dog.

Leon watched it happen as he chuckled and got ready for his school. He wore the 'simple uniform' which was given to him from his work.

Leon stood in front of the full-body mirror, the mirror was attached to the wardrobe.

Leon then went to have his breakfast, he was always wearing his uniform before eating because in case he did not have time to eatz then he could run to his school without eating.

The boy had oats, and even though he did not like oats he ate them with no complaint.

As he was having his breakfast, from behind his back came, they were, both the cat and the dog, both sniffing something, they had something sensed on him.

The cat then jumped on top of Leon's shoulders and tried to bite Leon's neck. Before getting stopped by the dog.

Leon then carefully dropped the cat on the floor and quickly finished his breakfast, both his mother and father were not home, only his little brother and the two cute animals were home.

He went out his home, after taking his bag and the key which was kept on the table, to be safe, he kept the key on his right pocket.

...

After getting out of the house, Leon took out the key from his right pocket, the key was for the main door of his house, it was a spare one, all the members of his house had a spare, except for his little brother, the cat and the dog, of course, Leon then carefully locked the door, as if he had rushed, the lock might have gotten damaged, as the quality of many such products had dropped quite a lot, compared to the products made before 1647, before the war.

Leon then carefully kept the key in his right pocket, his left pocket contained some IDs, a small pocket diary, a pocket watch which was sewn to his left pocket, and a fountain pen.

The pocket watch was sewn on his pocket was because that, his mother feared that if the watch was kept unattended then Leon might break it again, so she sew it to his left pocket.

It was not exactly on the pocket but of the small belt which could be removed from the pocket. It was there to be sewd on.

Leon had the fountain pen from when he was just a year old, it was gifted to him by his uncle, who had sadly died during a fight between two groups.

His uncle was a business owner so he was making a good amount of money with which he was leading an amazing life.

When Leon's uncle was going to Seflenc, he had booked a ticket to a direct train from Glorya to Seflenc.

The coach which Leon's uncle was in got attacked.

Some people wearing white gloves, red boots, grey vests, and grey suits and trousers attacked the coach Leon's uncle was in, and because of it, all the people who were in that coach along with him got killed.

Leon then suddenly remembered that today was Sunday, for a second he got confused on how he forgot that the day was a holiday from school.

He went back inside and carefully took his shirt off, as he did not want it to get wrinkles, as he thought of using it for the next day.

Before changing pants, he removed the contents of the pocket, he also removed the little belt which was connected with his pocket watch.

He left all of the things except for his fountain pen.

Leon left them on the table.

Then he went back and sat on the chair near the dining table, his Little brother was still having his oats.

...

Leon then took out the fountain pen from his pocket and then he kept the pen on the table.

Leon's little brother noticed it and looked at it carefully and noticed that it had,

A golden nib and a silver barrel, its cap was made of a metal called Azure and the colour of the cap was black.

"What is azure?", asked Leon's little brother.

Leon explained,

 Azure is a metal that can withstand a high temperature.

If it was kept in a cold place with cold temperatures then it would start to get hot, even if it was under high pressure then also it can maintain its form.

On the cap, the finial was left blank, the clip had a golden finish, the center band too had a golden finish but this also was included with a word written on it, the word was,' Roy Fughs', he was the creator of Roy brand.

The nib was of nothing special, it included the basic things like an imprint of a beautiful pattern, a breather hole, etc.

The other parts were also common, but the pen had a specialty, and it was that the pen could be even used in freezing cold places, as the ink reservoir was also made up of azure.

After explaining and taking care of some chores he noticed that his little brother has went to play outside, it was because the cat and the dog were also not there.

Leon thought of visiting his friend, who lived near the school.

...

Leon hid the key below the door mat, it was because his little brother needed to return home but as if Leon left wit the key then his little brother would not be able to enter in the house.

...

On his way, Leon spotted an odd-looking door, it was not on the side but was in the middle of the market, but the people were not bothered by it and were passing it as if it was not present there.

As Leon was thinking about it he suddenly remembered that it would be inappropriate to go to his friend's house near the time of lunch, so he hurried.

So he started to pick up his pace, no, more like he, started to run.

As he started to run he sensed something behind him, suddenly he remembered his dream about the white figure.

He stopped running and checked his surroundings, trying his best to make it not obvious that he was checking his surroundings.

After looking for some time and realizing that he was near the clock tower, he was a little afraid as it was a place that people left using as it was simply too far to use.

If someone or something had followed him then he would be in danger, he realised it.

Leon then spotted an old person, it was Elrich, Leon ran towards the old man and started to have a small talk.

After saying bye and confirming that nothing was following him, he ran from the place.

Leon then finally reached his destination, which was his friend's home.

But sadly it was locked, it seemed his friend had went out, Leon thought for a moment and left.
