Unseen observers

At least this was salem thought was going to happen and to be fair in any other person this may have been true. but the intense negative emotions that the grim essence was filled with was like steroids for the sharingan. leons eyes were almost constantly absorbing these aspects of the corruption in leon leaving behind the darkness and destruction parts to influence his mind and body. thanks to the falna the effects of these aspects on leons body weren't bad for him at all as instead they were changed into fuel for his improvement.

What no one seemed to be aware of was that the gods who had "abandoned" remnant were actually just watching it from an invisible area. "look brother at how the mortal thrives from my power stolen from those failed creations of mine." the black wispy horned humanoid said smugly. "yes it is an interesting thing to witness , did not your essence usually kill the mortals in contact with it?" the light based horned twin asked calmly. "indeed destruction and darkness ill suit those frail mortals but after THAT being interfered by adding that strange mortal an exception seemed to now exist , i am pleased by it." the dark twin said with a happy inflection.

"We only agreed to allow THAT being it's whimsical when it promised us a change to be brought by this mortal. look at how the fate of this world of ours has changed so greatly in the short span this mortal has been here." the light twin said also with a happy inflection. "yes we had agreed to allow that mortal soul to be reborn in exchange for him bringing the world to heel but he has proven to be a disappointment not even capable of controlling the troublesome woman set on defying us."

"This new being has already proven himself capable of satisfying us , though his ambition and the potential to ascend are of a concern for us , even as we speak he refines his existence closer and closer to divinity." the dark god said seriously. "it is of no concern weather or not the mortal can ascend to us as at most we will have a third member to balance us out even more , one not of you nor i but both." the light god said before they grew silent once more in their observation of the world.

Leon would have been flattered by the importance the gods placed on him had he known but since he was entirely un aware he merely continued his daily life. in the week leading up to his next actual lesson an interesting thing had happened. his cliffside abode had been discovered by someone thanks to genesis being spotted arriving there. that person had posted this discovery on the school forums which immediately caught the attention of all of the professors save glenda and ozpin as well as all of the students. leon had needed ozpin's permission to even construct the abode while glenda had been brought there regularly for "stress relief".

Other than those two however not a single other person had known the location of leon's abode until now and it showed because of the interest everyone had in it. leon had gotten several unannounced visitors in the form of rappelling students as a result. all of them were disappointed to see that leons living area looked pretty normal on the inside and even when leon was asked why he lived here of all places he just shrugged. "i have big working wings so i mean why wouldn't i live here?" he said nonchalantly.

The funny part was that no one could really argue with leon about this because he wasn't wrong and on second thought most people agreed that it might have been weirder if he didn't make use of his wings. what no one save glenda herself realized was that all the blueprints and half finished gadgets that usually littered leons home were missing. she had seen them in her many visits but had always respected his privacy in this regard and never tried to examine any of them but that didn't mean she didn't notice them missing. it was clear to her that leon paid a lot of attention to the forums and had prepared for the eventuality of other less polite people visiting him and removed his private stuff.
