The Bunny and the Owl
Marius made Berenice stayed in his mansion as a servant and prohibited anyone from calling her Alastor's mother, but everyone knew about his son's bastardy, many servants called him an abomination, a half breed, mogrel even, no one was happy about his exitance in that mansion, but none where more enraged than Simmone, who now had to take care of his husband's bastard.
Alastor grew without any problems and to the surprise of many in his house without any sickness due to his halfbreed nature, and it was thanks to his Beastkind Heritage that Alastor was able to learn his first spell from one of Simmone's Enchanment books, it was simple, just a light cantrip, nothing of the otherworld, but it was enough for his father Marius to took an interested in this and force Simmone teach him magic, this was in fact the only good memories Alastor had with Simonne.
With time Alastor became a more appealing Heir that his sickly and fragile brother Damien. At age six he was named as the new heir of his father and was given de D'brienne Last name and thanks to his magical progress was sent at his sixth birthday to the local Magic Academy.
School life didn't go well for him either, the teachers and many of his fellow students where afraid of doing anything that might cause the rage of his father and so both teachers and students alike despised him, specially more when he became a troublesome kid, disrespecting his teachers and burning down something where always things that you could find Alastor doing to pass the time, and above all he couldn't stand the constant humilliation by his peers, but no one was able to put him in his place except for another beastkind girl at school named Miko.
Miko wasn't afraid to stop Alastor or even trade blows with him, and whenever Alastor wanted to do something terrible to her she always had the luck to get out of it, something that incredibly frustraded Alastor.
As time went by a school it became apparent that he wasn't meant to be anything special, he wasn't talented or had any star to him, when his father got the news that his son would most likely never become a decent sorcerer, he beat up his mother Berenice after wich he made her live in the stables like an animal, and made Alastor took private classes, no son of him would be middle of the pack.
Teacher after teacher came by and all of them grew tired of Alastor and his problematic nature, without any options left, Simmone proposed to bring someone his age to help him study, and as would luck have it that person became Miko.At first Alastor was furious about this but he began to feel something different, Miko was the first person who didn't treat him differently or was scared of him and he began to care for her.
His father Marius the twisted man that he was, for other his part became interested in Miko and tried to made advances on her, Alastor quickly catch noticed of this and decided to protect Miko from his father's reach, he made sure to have his lessons as far away as possible from his father, to pretend to be sick whenever his father stayed at home so that Miko wouldn't have to come, and at times he could cause trouble to his father to distract him with anger, wich made Alastor gain many physical abuses by his father and Alastor made sure that Miko never knew about this, he didn't wanted her to feel responsable or guilty about it.
Miko became important to Alastor altough he wouldn't admit it, even to this day, and it was during a field trip that he would come to realize this, during a full moon them both got lost in a nearby forest and troughout the night the took care of each other, Alastor would never forget the many times she protected him that night.
