Chapter 447 447 More Forest
Once the meeting was finished, everyone split up for the evening, and Wolfe retired back to his room to finish his plans to expand their influence.
The biggest part of that was going to be finding a better way to break the Curse on the Frozen Wastes than the slow spread of the Fae Forest. But then, the spread didn’t have to be slow, did it? He could start to work with the Fae Familiars that they had in the village to spread the forest further and further out, which would create an increasingly large radius around it that would be free of the Curse.
Turning everything into a forest wasn’t really optimal, but we would talk to the Fae and see if they could keep some grasslands and enchant them the same as they did the forests.
Wolfe’s idea was to keep most of the region unchanged and then add groves of Fae Forest so that the various species would have places to hide from threats, as well as the ability to create villages above ground in the trees.
He was still thinking of how he would propose the deal the next morning when a stranger sat down next to him at the diner in the spire, startling him out of his thoughts.
The woman was lithe and muscular, with a blade hung at her hip that felt like Fae Magic and long, pointed ears that twitched with amusement as Wolfe tried to figure out who she was.
“So, you couldn’t actually see me. I am the Elf that you left the Worgen pack for a month or so back. I’m not sure exactly how long, as time flows differently in Faerie. You can call me the Huntress. That is the nickname that my people have given me.” She informed him with a smile.
She was definitely powerful. From the aura that she gave off, she might even be more powerful than Kira, high Rank Three or possibly Rank Four. Fae magic was gentle and in tune with nature, which made it harder for Wolfe to tell with his lack of practice.
“Oh, I do recall now,” Wolfe replied, thinking of the day that he had trapped the pack in the forest and then never heard from them again. If she had taken that as a gift for her, who was he to argue? The Worgen were a nuisance when left to run free.
“I came to see what a village made by a Demon would look like and thought I would say hello. It is a very pretty village, and the aura is peaceful. I didn’t think that I would see White Witches in this world, but there are at least five of them. I must say, you surprise me, Demon.” Khalifa told him with a smirk on her face.
“Wolfe Noxus. It is a pleasure to meet you. But now that we have met, I wonder if there is something that you can help me with. You see, I have been looking for a way to expand this forest and its influence to a larger area.
The region outside the Forest has been decimated by war, and there are many powerful curses crumbling with age. I hope to break them and bring balance back to the land, as well as expand the influence of the Fae to cover a region of grassland and some additional stands of forest.
Is that possible? I don’t know the magic, but there are a bunch of Faeries here, and if we all work together with the Witches, I hope we can expand the effect the same way that we created it.” He explained.
The Elf cocked her head to the side as if looking at him from a different angle would make this strange man make more sense.
“You want to expand the influence of the Fae, as well as your own people in this world? Why?” She asked.
“To bring peace back to the region. The monsters run rampant outside, and the curses drive them into an insane rage. The forest calms them. Plus, it’s a safer spot for everyone since it keeps the humans and the hostile Witches out.” Wolfe shrugged.
“So, a Cursed Magi who has turned Demon wants to make a Fae Forest full of beastkin, Fae and White Witches?”
Wolfe smiled at her confusion. “Not just a forest. Grassland and lakes as well. Because not all of the species are native to the forest, and it wouldn’t do to leave them homeless.”
Khalifa giggled, the sound ringing like a bell’s chiming that brought Faeries flying in the window to see who was visiting.
The new arrivals filled the room with sparking Faerie dust, which the Familiars began to swat at and blow around for entertainment. In an instant, the room had devolved into chaos, but nothing was being harmed, just redecorated with glittery dust.
“If you’re serious about it, I think that we can do something. There are enough Fae in the region that can assist and create a spell that will rapidly spread. How far depends on the inhabitants and their power, but the more Fae and White Witches you have near the borders, the faster they will begin to expand.
But with Fae Magic, nothing comes free. There is always a price to pay. The first time, you paid with portals to Faerie, which you don’t seem to mind, even though I have seen Boggarts and other Dark Fae in your Forest. The next time, the price will be different.” The elf informed him.
Wolfe nodded. “That’s not surprising. Is there any way to tell what the price will be before we cast the spell? The Dark Fae haven’t caused any real issues, though I have heard that they play pranks on the scouts and tease the monsters.”
Wolfe’s comment made the Faeries who had just entered the room laugh. The Dark Fae weren’t the only ones who enjoyed taunting the monsters. It was just all-around good fun as long as everyone flew away in time.
“The price will only be determined after the spell is cast.” Khalifa, also known as The Huntress, informed Wolfe very seriously.
“In that case, we will have to try it and see. I am told that Fae Magic is closely tied to the nature of the casters, and we have a lot of good people here, so I think that the result shouldn’t be too bad.”
