"I see... so that's why I can use magic and became healthy at the cost of my memories." Yu said as she looked at her hands. "Yes, although it seemingly consumed her identity in the process, but even just looking at you I can sense the Sidhe of that child who I adored so much." Oberon said with a smile.
"You're saying that Fairy is still inside me?" Yu asked curiously. "In a way yes, but it would be better to say that you are that fairy now." Oberon sat down in his chair, his hands folding underneath his chin as he sighed. "The purpose of that fairy was to one day become one with the soul of Albion to protect us from the encroaching threats from beyond our lands. But I can see now she would have scolded me for wanting to force that burden onto you." Oberon averted his gaze for a moment. "I know it won't change anything, but at least accept my apology for my deeds against you." Yu nodded her head lightly. "I am willing to forgive you, but in exchange I would like to request your aid with something." Oberon smiled at her words. "Very well, I will do what I can to help you." Yu started to explain about her encounter with Albion, of how the dragon wanted to construct a magical tower to help slow down the encroaching influence of the void. Of how Titania believed that only by working together with Oberon the Fae could possibly be able to construct such a massive thing. Oberon listened to everything before he finally spoke up. "I see, so you want me to help you build this tower?" Yu nodded her head. "If we don't do something soon then the void will swallow up all of humanity." Oberon closed his eyes and thought for a moment. "I understand, I will send word out to the other Fae and ask them to come here. We will hold a meeting and decide whether or not to work with you on this matter."
Oberon finally focused his gaze on Yu. "But before that Yu there is something you must do, something that will increase your odds to be accepted by the other fairies." Yu tilted her head slightly. "What is it?" Oberon stood up from his chair and walked over to Yu, he reached out his hand and placed it on her shoulder.
"You must learn to control my successor's Sidhe and ascend into a Fairy." Yu's eyes widened in surprise. "How do I do that?" Oberon smiled kindly at her. "It is simple really, you must go through the rite of communion so you can interact with the Sidhe, it will guide you on the path of ascension. If you were to return to us as a true fairy, then... and only then will the others truly accept you as one of our kin. This is the only way I can think of to help you." Yu nodded her head in understanding. "Alright, I'll do it." Oberon smiled and patted her shoulder.
"Good, then follow me." Oberon led Yu out of the throne room and into a large courtyard where several fairies had gathered. "My kin, I have called you all here today because I have an important announcement to make." Oberon spoke loudly as he addressed the crowd.
"As you know, my successor has disappeared and I have been unable to find her. But now I can tell you that she is alive and well. Although she is no longer among us, she lives on in the actions of this young Fae. I will make this request- nay this plea: Not as your King but as a fellow Fairy: Please guide Yu on her rite of succession. She wishes to become one of our kind and join us in our fight against the encroaching void." The fairies looked at each other curiously. "The void? Is that why the rift opened up?" A fairy asked.
