First Steps

All was peaceful in the quaint park park of Karakura town. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing a nice cool breeze, and everything was as it should be on a nice spring day. No one would expect what would happen next; then again, hardly anyone would see it. Without any warning, a small dimensional rift began to form in the center of the park. Because of it's size, it could not yet be felt, and no normal human would be able top see it. Suddenly, the small rift was torn open, as if by the claws of some large beast, and out of the rift walked two figures. The first one was a tall male figure, followed by a lithe and young female figure; Alfons and his "daughter", Lilith.

As soon as both exited, the portal closed up as suddenly as it had opened, leaving no trace of it's existence. Although this may have seemed to be quite an odd thing to happen in the middle of a park, nobody noticed it; the portal was invisible to all normal humans. Looking around, Alfons smiled his creepy grin to himself, then motioned for Lilith to stand beside him. "Heh, we are here Lilith, my daughter; this is what is known as the world of the living" he said, putting his arm around her shoulder as he showed her the world around her. Looking around, Lilith seemed to be overwhelmed by all that she saw around her. "...F-father, what i-is this place?" she asked him shyly, trying her best to hide behind him.

Laughing a bit, Alfons patted her head to calm her down "Do not worry my dear, this is a simple place called Karakura town." With that, he stood up straight and scanned the area with his eyes "And no need to worry Lilith, there aren't any people here who can harm you." As Alfons said this, Lilith stood up taller, looking a bit less frightened "...But father...I was worried about you." As she said that, Alfons once again laughed "Heh, do not fear, there are none here who can harm me Lilith."

IN one of the back alleys, even during this time of day, a hollow seemed to have poped up. Percy jackson, your normal middle school kid with a few abnormal abilities was taking a short cut home today. His home, well that wasn't something that was not something he gave out easily. Let's just say alot of things had happened and now he's an orphan. Nothing to hard to understand right? Well anyway he was on his way home, he was a little concerned that his best friend Annabeth wasn't at school today. They weren't related but they lived in the same place, again nothign you need to know. She was sick today and 'Dad' said that he couldn't stay home and help. Whatever.

Percy was taking his usual route when he felt somethign odd in the area. Percy hadn't had his powers long but even he knew what this reitsu was. "It's a hollow" He said. this was great timming. he didn't hhave time for this today. It was not somethign he wanted ot run into on his way home but no one else was in the area to do this so it ws up to him. He ran down the alley. threw off his backpack and concentrated on his hand. In a burst of yellow light a sword he named 'Anaklasmus", Greek for Riptide. He came to an open area. The hollow was just sitting there. It seemed liek it was waiting. Now that was odd. but whatever, Percy didn't care he just wanted to getthis over with.

He charged at the hollow and slashed. yeah if it were that easy I wouldn't bother explaining. the hollow dodged and swiped it's hand. Percy ducked and rolled. Yeah he was a somewhat good swordsman. caoptain of the kendo club and all. He knows more sword techniques than taught in the book but I'll leave those for later. he slashed at the hollows arm and cut it. not off but a good sized gash. His arms werent exactly lon enough to cut it off. Well In that case Percy didn't want to do this , it usually takes alot of energy. He hasn't had alot of practice so he tires easily but here it goes. He summoned the wind around him and create wind blades. He shot 5 of them at the Hollow. An invisible blade sliced the hollow up into three parts and he began top dissipate. Percy's breathe was exasperated as he grabbed his bag and headed for the park. This was the second part of his short cut. yeah his house is a long way from school. He got to the park and noticed some strange man and a girl appear from a hole i9n the middle of the park Oh this will be great......

Looking around, Alfons had sensed a hollow, as well as the hollow being killed. Seeing a young boy walk up, he immediately was able to match his spiritual pressure to that of the person who had killed the hollow. "Hmm, how odd, although he seems to be just another human with an ounce of spiritual pressure, there is something off about him" he said to himself, looking over at the kid. Lilith, despite her father's interest, took no notice of the new kid, too busy looking around at the wide world around her. Suddenly, however, she looked down and noticed the kid looking at them. Without saying a word, she began to wonder over to him; something about the kid had piqued her curiosity.

Noticing that his daughter had taken an interest in the kid, he slowly followed behind her, allowing her to get there first. As Lilith reached the boy, she slowed down a bit before stopping in front of him. Without saying a word, she knelt down to get a better look at the kid, tilting her head a bit like a curious animal. Standing up when Alfons reached her, she stood up and turned to him. Father, what is he, and why is he so small?" she asked in an innocent tone. Laughing a bit, Alfons patted Lilith on the shoulder "Silly girl, he's a human, but one with special powers, and he's a child, they're supposed to be small, they grow" he explained to her, his German accent audible in his tone.

As he explained this to Lilith, he looked over at the kid and smiled, not as creepy as his usual one, but being Alfons, it was still creepy "I am sorry if my daughter bothered you, but she seems to find interest in other people who have a higher than average spiritual pressure." As he said this, Lilith continued to look at the kid with curiosity. It was obvious that for whatever reason, she was completely new to the world.
