The Felpoolian Child An SO2 fanfic by Snow Moon Note: I haven't played the first Star Ocean game, but something is wrong to me about Leon being a Felpool and having two human parents. Also, his parents act kinda strange. After the Lacour Hope thing, they both just said, "Thank you for saving us, Leon." It didn't sound quite... natural. Thusly: A fic. Forsooth, dude. It was a warm Autumn afternoon when I found him. He was wrapped in a white blanket beneath a large oak tree in the palace garden. I never would have found him if he hadn't been crying, as I usually don't walk that way. I went to the child and picked him up. He was an adorable little thing, no more than three months old. But something was different about him. He had the ears of a cat. I was a bit shocked. Up until noticing this, I had been wondering where his mother and father were. But when I saw those ears, I immediately knew he had been abandoned. Getting over my surprise, I held the crying child closer and comforted him. He stopped crying, and a soft rumble came from deep in his throat. I smiled. He was such a sweet child. My husband and I hadn't had any kids yet, we were both scientists and were far too busy for a family just yet. At that moment, I had a realization. This baby was a sign. He had come to me for a reason. I decided to raise him to be the best and brightest scientist the world had ever known. Something told me that he would be the world's savior one day. I decided to name him after my grandfather, who had been a brilliant scientist in his youth. Leon. Leon Geeste. It was perfect... It's been thirteen years since that day, and my Leon has grown into a fine young man. My prophecy has come true, as well-- he has saved us all. Thank you, Leon. My son.
