"Lift your hand and chant the following words while focusing on the image of protection, of shields, of safety -" Ezhno was in the process of teaching little Gregory how to cast his first spell, and what better spell to teach than a protective one? He focused on the spell that was [Forcedisk] and spoke then out loud the first words that came to mind: "- make me a barrier, [Forcedisk]." And floating before him stood a barrier the size of a dinner plate, floating in space. It lasted for 10 seconds before vanishing! "See? Easy."
Due to the world being connected now to the multiverse, magic was pouring unto the earth, making everything magical. Ezhno had to fight this large bear with red fur that wanted his prey. This large elk with greenery growing from its horns, he managed to win, but the bear was really strong! Like, it could possibly reap through metal easily because of how it cut through his skin with some difficulty even though his skin now was harder than metal- He tested it, okay? He healed himself easily enough, but the bear managed to scare little Gregory, so Ezhno decided to try and teach him a spell to protect himself from enemies around, and the best way he could do it was to focus on the spell he wanted to teach and the chant for it would come to his mind, even if the spell itself didn't need a chant or ritual. This just made it easier for him to teach others, apparently?
"Uhm... Make me a barrier, Forcedisk?" The little boy opened the palm of his hand, his eyebrows scrunched in focus - Ezhno felt the hairs on his body stand up when he felt a large amount of magical energy try to gather on his little fist, only to fail as he was a child and his body wouldn't be able to handle so much power yet, so the magic automatically receded, only a smaller and safer amount emanated from his fist, making this small barrier of energy float above his open palm. "Wow..." Surprised, Gregory pulled his hand back, but the barrier did not follow, instead staying still - His control over the magic was a miserable thing, magic did not listen to him at all, instead opting to stay where it was called, frozen in space. "See! Easy, right?" Ahote grinned. His sharp fangs and white teeth were rather intimidating. If not for the fact that Gregory was not mentally a kid, he would've been crying like a little kid about now... "Let's go back..." Ezhno held the boy tightly while going what happened over on his head - magic was somewhat sentient or sapient in a way, being aware that if it tried to enter and be channeled by the boy's body like that was a death sentence for the small bean that was Gregory, so it pulled back a large amount of its power, making the kid use a the a watered down version, a Tier 0 of the Tier 0 of the spell [Forcedisk]!
Ezhno wanted to know more about this...
-Scene Cut-
Time flew by - I mean, it was like yesterday that he found Gregory when, in fact, a whole year had gone by. He found a really effective way to train his spells, making them grow in strength really quickly. He just had to force them until his body and mind could keep up with them, increasing his mastery of his spells like this was like a death sentence if he was human, but because he is a Wendigo and therefore not a human, his body can take more punishment than humans bodies.
After he found that Magic was sentient in a way, he managed to make Magic notice how his body could handle a lot more of it through pushing himself further and try to control magic itself inside him- It was painful, he couldn't cast any cantrip through gestures or speech, he had to force the magic to change, and that was very painful on his mind. He had to stop most of the time because blood would come out of his nose and eyes, but he persisted, and through meditation amd exercising his Willpower he managed to find a way to control magic that enteted his body and managed to draw more inside and that made his training even faster as he had more magic to use and his willpower was stronger to hold more than 3 cantrips being cast at the same time!
So, in 1 whole year, he managed to bring five of his cantrips to Grandmaster Proficiency over them - All his spells can now be casted without any gesture or words, thanks to the amazing control he has over them.

[<×>]
As you can see, Ezhno made a lot of progress on the [Healing Hands], [Hideaway], [Pocket], [Murk], [Fog], [Denumbra], [Forcedisk], and [Mask]. He is so powerful now when it comes to defense because he focused mainly on hiding and protecting, healing too because it was important! He hasn't trained his attack spells that much because he doesn't want to catch the attention of the [Agoths] who were very aggresively searching everywhere!
Thankfully Ezhno made another base on the other side of this large red portal, the portal took him to another world that was really just a long desert, he managed to find a way to come back and he has been having a lot of fun going through the portal, mostly because of his mastery over spatial spells such as [Blink], [Hideaway], and [Pocket] that gave him a really good understanding of space magic and how it works, being able to find a portal that will take him to his forest really easily, and if not, he can make a temporary portal to teleport him to his home. It's temporary because he has a hard time controlling it. Magic to teleport through dimensions is not easy to cast, okay!? The quest to keep Gregory safe vanished the day it made 1 year that he was under his care the moment it did. However, Ezhno was met with a surprise
The start of his [World] quest.
[Few hours ago]
[Quest

"Huh..." Neat! Ezhno held onto the little boy as he rested, walking through the thick forest- The vegetation greatly increased this year that magic has been growing in power, making everything much greener than ever. He passed by a large ash grey tree with glowing red and blue mushrooms that blinked their eyes at him, flowes whose petals were as sharp as blades, and leaves that moved and danced like they were alive even without he wind.
The world was alive, alive, and blooming with energy.
"Greg -" There was a flash of red. He reacted faster than he would've if he was a human, his hand swatting away at the red projectile while he was casting [Toughness] on himself, it was not very obvious but his grey skin had this soft pale blue glow beneath all the vantablack hair that grew on his body. He easily blocked the bolt of flames that did nothing to him other than annoyed him.
A guttural deep growl escaped his lips as he crouched, achieving a more animalistic pose with his hands to the ground and no longer staying on his two feet, but instead staying on all fours as he looked towards where the flames came from: "Show yourselves, I can hear you, smell you, feel you." His voice was like that of a wolf, deep and thick in aggressiveness. He was ready to do what he had been doing for a year now! Walking towards him, having him surrounded, was a group of people, from what he could sense about 4 men and 3 women, and one leader.
A tall, broad shoulders, a black stubble beard on his sharp chin... Handsome, incredibly handsome, his hand glowing in red light as a small needle of flames floated above it. "Give me back my son, monster."
Oh... Ezhno heard a lot about him, and he must say, Gregory didn't tell him his dad was a daddy.
