Chapter 6 - Fenrir

Earlier,

Leto looked like a white dire wolf. She together with Kasai, Sinann and Svartal share the title of second most powerful spirits in Silvia.

She has created trees around the outside Silvia, they allow her to detect any strong being that enters the forest. She has come to the Crimson Knights because of the power of Luctus and Gale. Now, she has detected something about as powerful as Luctus. She was surprised that 2 people so powerful would show up in 2 days.

She went after it until she found a blond, short haired, clean shaven man. He was wearing a dark blue tunic. he looked around 35 years old. He had a determined look on his face. He was walking deeper into the forest until he stopped and talked.

"Spirits, reveal yourselves. I need help." then, he waited.

Spirits can switch between their ethereal and physical forms. In their ethereal form. They can't interact with the world around them. Only druids and other spirits can sense them. In their physical form, druids can't use their magic, but the spirit themselves can. Anyone can see them in this form. It takes about 1 minute for them to change their form, and when they change, they can't change again for about 1 hour.

Most people don't know a lot about spirits, but he seems to have done his research. Leto decided to show herself. "Who are you to have such a powerful soul, and what is it that you desire?"

The man looked pleased. "My name is Fenrir, I seek the knowlage of the archdruid."

Later,

Leto and Fenrir walked up to Faunus. "And who might this be?" he asked. Fenrir looked as determand as when he entered the forest "I am Fenrir, I seek the knowlage of how to cure a lich." Faunus looked curious to Fenrir's situation. Amaris looked at Virens and Asterion. "What is a lich?" She curiously asked. "When a mage lets their dark magic consume them and sacrifices their humanity for power, they become a lich. That is the extend of what I know about it." Asteron replied. Virens seemed to know as much as Amaris.

Faunus looked as curious at Fenrir as Amaris always looks at him. "And who might this lich be?"

Fenrir looked sad, and so did Leto. "Here is my story."

Fenrir grew up in a village in the north. His father was a merchant, he rarely saw him. And his mother died in childbirth. His father never took him with him, because the journey's were too dangerous for a kid with no experience in travel. He never had anyone to love.

At the age of 15, he got tired of this life and left his home to travel to Licentia. He had no destination, he just went wherever the wind took him.

At the age of 18, he arrived at a big city known as Asphodel. In asphodel he studied evocation magic at Asphodel's great magic academy. Here he met a girl known as Macaria. Macaria was a young girl who studied evocation ever since she was 8 years old. She helped Fenrir learn magic ever since he just entered the academy. They fell in love and in 2 years, they got married.

At the age of 22, the mayor of Asphodel recognised how talented Fenrir and Macaria are in magic. He ordered to see both of them. He wantd them to learn the illegal art of necromancy, the manipulation of the dead. Having necromancers on their side can make Asphodel one of the strongest cities in Licentia. Fenrir and Macaria had no choise but to agree.

At the age of 33, Fenrir and Macaria had become powerful necromancers. Only the mayor knew about this. He made sure that everyone who would battle them would be killed before they could spread the word of the truth about them. Fenrir had no problem with killing, for the only one that he has ever truly loved was Macaria. This is how it went until the war between Asphodel and Tartarus. Fenrir and Macaria were given the task of killing the most powerful knight Tartarus had to offer, Dante. But Dante was just too powerful. He outmatched both of them. This looked like the end. Until Macaria said "Fenrir, run away right now..." Than she let her dark magic consume her, she could feel her soul being devoured. Fenrir could not move as he watched the only thing he loved turn into a monster. Macaria looked like she would kill anyone right now. Fenrir was devastated. Macaria and dante were equally matched now, but in the end Macaria managed to kill Dante and she passed out from blood loss.

Fenrir immediately took care of her wounds. He was hopeful that there might be a way to turn her back. When Fenrir returned to Asphodel, he chained Macaria up in the dungeons. When she woke up she was nothing but a monster that looked like Fenrir's love. Ever since that day, Fenrir has felt terrible. Now the only thing he thought of was how to save her. He has been trying to find a way to turn her back for 2 years to no avail.

Than, one night, the Crimson Knights arrived at Asphodel looking for work form the mayor. Gale went to the library to seek information about a disease a member of the knights got. There Gale and Fenrir met. Fenrir knew about the desease and told Gale about the ways to cure it. In return, Gale asked him if he needs information about something. Fenrir told Gale about his situation. "Earlier today, I met the archdruid of Silvia. It's realy close by. Being an archdruid, his knowlage must be great. He might be able to help you."

While telling his story, tears fell down Fenrir's face. "Please help me..."

"Amaris and Jackson, training is over. Fenrir, I do not know how to save your wife, but I do know people that might be able to help you. Jackson, I want you to lead this man to Sinann and Svartal. Fenrir, If they don't know anything, travel to Umbra and seek out the great spirirt Luna." Faunus said.

Jackson left his hiding spot and did as Faunus asked. They left.

"Who are Sinann and Svartal?" Amaris asked.

"Sinann, Svartal, Leto and Kasia are the most powerful spirits in the forest after Sol. Sol is to Silvia, What Luna is to Umbra. But she is in a bad state right now." Faunus replied.

"One last Question, this one is for Leto. Why did you make me a druid?"

"There will be a time for you to find out, but that time is not now." Is all Leto said.
