Chapter 757 757 Energetic Fae
”There are really Faeries in the Upper Planes? I told those silly Dryads that we were special.” One of the Fae blurted out, dropping the pretense that they weren’t actually following and eavesdropping on Wolfe and the Seraphim’s conversation.
“Indeed. Not the same sort of Faeries as your lineage, they have been separated by a million years of change, but they are still visibly Faeries, with the same wing shape and size.” He agreed.
“That is wonderful. But does that mean that if there were some of them here, you could stay overnight? I mean, they give of light, and you’re not good in the dark, right? Well, we have lights, but that’s not quite the same, so the Light Sprites in a house would make it comfortable, right?” The Fae rambled at high speed.
Asmodain considered it for a moment and then nodded. “I suppose that if there were Light Sprites here, it would be a bit more comfortable, and I could stand to stay inside a room overnight. It would still be awkward for the Sprites, as they rely on the strong Light Element energy of their homeland for energy, so they would get tired easily here, where it isn’t as strong, and the sun only shines for half the day.”
“What about Witch Lights? They’re nice and warm, and they can be bright.” Another Faerie asked.
“They’re not bad, but it’s still not the same.”
The Faeries consulted each other on the next question for half a second, while Asmodain gave an amused smile. Wolfe was content to wait while they decided, as they were likely to come up with better questions than he was, as they had incredibly fast thought processes, and they were working as a team.
“So, there is a chance that if we could convince some of your pet Light Sprites to come live here, that we could have Upper Plane beings come to visit us sometimes? Because it would be a great balance to the Demons. There are entirely too many Demons around, and a bit of Upper Planes energy would make this place feel a bit cleaner again.” The Faeries suggested.
“There isn’t anything unclean about this place. In fact, it is far better than most mortal worlds that I have checked on. Better than even the first town that I went to in this world.” Asmodain pointed out, unwilling to share any of the pet Sprites.
“But not quite the same as Faerie. I swear, this place has too much earth unholy and energy and not enough nature energy, and everything gets dirty too fast. If we had more light energy, it should help to balance everything out.”
The Seraphim gave the Faerie a look like he had just been informed that one plus one equalled three and a quarter, then shook his head to dismiss that warped bit of Faerie logic from it. They were obviously just looking for reasons to get new varieties of Faerie in town, and they would worry about the small details later.
Unfortunately for their plans, the Seraphim in front of them was around when the Light Sprites began to become domesticated thousands of years ago, after they had discovered that it was easier to just hang out in the homes of the larger Upper Planes species and receive food in exchange for providing light.
It was not going to be easy to trick him into doing anything at all, much less doing something that would not benefit his people. He had only gone to this world because the Leaders had determined that it was not advantageous to the balance between mortal worlds to let the Magi die out entirely, so he had been sent with an ancient crystal to help infuse some knowledge into the next generation.
With that and their newly elevated Saint, it was possible that they might make a full resurgence in the near future, and bring back some sort of stability to this world.
“I would like to see the other Magi before I leave. If there is a chance that I can grant them knowledge as well, it would be for the best.” Asmodain informed Wolfe, changing the topic from the Faeries’ questions.
“I can arrange that easily enough. The others are all part of the Noxus Family, so I can call them to me directly, using the bond of the Patriarch.” Wolfe agreed.
Wolfe sent a mental message to everyone in the Family, asking them to come over to where he was to receive an ancient inheritance upgrade from the Upper Planes. They already knew that it existed, as they had been greeting the newcomers and helping them get settled in, so there wasn’t much delay before everyone was on their way to him, leaving the new guys with Kira and a few of the beastkin, who were helping them get what they needed from storage, since they arrived with nothing.
They were far from the first to arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and the locals were excellent at their jobs, so it wouldn’t take much longer, but everyone needed to eat before they did much more work, a basic courtesy that Wolfe had skipped because he didn’t know if the Seraphim even ate anything that they grew here.
“Hey, if we go to the Upper Planes, can we learn to glow too? Glowing sounds pretty cool. I mean, we can use magic to do it, and our dust glows a little, but actually glowing like the sun would be pretty awesome.” One of the Fairies asked Asmodain while they were waiting.
“I am afraid that it takes longer than one generation to turn from a Fairy into a Light Sprite. But I can teach you a very good light element spell if you can make it work.” The Seraphim offered.
“Now we’re talking. I love new spells, big spells, little spells, all sorts of spells.” The Fairy cheered.
“They really are the same, so easily entertained.” Asmodain whispered to Wolfe with a smirk on his face.
