Familiar of Zero's Son: Prologue

To those who are reading this and know my story "The Return", yes, I know I should update it. But I just couldn't get this out of my head. I just needed to have this uploaded. This is going to be successful as well as The Return.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ZERO NO TSUKAIMA!

Enjoy~!

My name is Ansel Francis le Valliere de Hiraga, son of Louise and Saito Hiraga. My parents are the most famous duo in history.

My mother, Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere, was known for wielding the legendary Void magic, there were only three in the whole world (that we know of anyways). During her second year in Tristain Academy of Magic, she summoned a human boy from a place called "Japan".

That human boy became her familiar. And not to mention, my father. My father, Saito Chevalier de Hiraga des Ornieres, became the legendary Gandalfr, or the Left Hand of God. He and my mother went to different adventures and not to mention stopped the war. He was also know for stopping an army of 70,000 men AND not to mention being brought back to life after dying. From then, he became a knight.

My mother and father also destroyed the Ancient Dragon, who had awaken a year before I was born. Amazing, right? Just after destroying the dragon, my father had proposed to my mother, and they got married a few months after that. They even spent a day in Japan before having to immediately come back here after seeing my father on the news, apparently on Japan's most wanted for stealing a military plane. (Nice one, dad.)

That was 17 years ago. Now, I am following in my mother and father's footsteps. Here at the Tristain Academy of Magic, where it all began.

My ability in magic has been... Unsuccessful. My mother told me that I was just a late bloomer, just like she was in the beginning. She told me it would come when it was needed in a dire situation. I just couldn't wait, so I tried my hardest in school. However, my attempts seem to always blow up in my face (literally).

Zero in magic, zero in boyish looks. Okay, I do admit, that I may not be all that muscular. I am also shorter than all the other guys in school. And my voice is a bit squeaker than the rest. But it's more about the personality, right? Don't blame me just cause I'm a late bloomer.

I'm now the laughing stock of the school. I've also been given my mother's old nickname: Zero. Of course, my mother had told me to never listen to those who taunt me. Saying that 'they would respect you when your powers kick in'. I love my mother, and she's usually right. Never underestimate mother, she may seem kind and innocent, but dad has shown me the scars. And let me tell you, they were certainly NOT scars from battle. Mom definitely knows how to use a horse whip...

To think that they are my parents. It's hard to believe that they are Halkeginia's heroes. Every time people start talking highly of them, I start feeling proud about it. They are awesome parents. Mom's kind and caring, though has an evil side. Dad's fun and not to mention hilarious. He also has many stories of his world and technologies. I always wanted to see Dad's world, but Mom always told me we would go when I was older. I'm probably older now, right? I'll ask about it later...

By the way, I also wonder what my powers are. Maybe its fire. Or probably water. Wind? Earth? It can't be Void because there are already four Void users... Who knows. Late bloomer, remember? It's really complicated... When my powers come, I hope that people would actually respect me. Not look down on me like they do now. I would actually be able to show the world that I'm not some big screw up. I won't be called a failure and disappoint my parents. I WILL prove to the world that I AM their son.

Ahem, going off topic there. Anyways, it seems that I'm very successful in copying my mother's footsteps. Especially, after the Familiar Summoning. Sometimes, I wonder if the Founder Brimir is punishing me. For what? Who knows. I just know that I've been curse with bad luck. Was this really how mother felt when she was my age. Somehow, it feels as though the weight of the world is on my shoulders (in some cases, it actually is). So my peaceful days are over, and now its time for a new adventure to start.

And it all started the day of the Familiar Summoning.

So that was the Prologue! I'm still sort of thinking if I should make it be in Ansel's point of view. Yeah, it's kind of hard doing all the names. The characters in the anime have REALLY long names. I don't even know if I'm doing it correctly. Anyways, hope you enjoyed. And R&R!
