The night steadily creeps in as Zeno enjoys the solitude he found in this forest. The warmth from his fire and the silence allowed him to focus on his mind and visualize what it would be like if his sister was there keeping him company.
Sensing the uneasiness of the inhabitants of the forest, he thought it would be best to show them he meant no harm by his presence. By placing his hand on the ground to feel the earth and sending out a pulse of magic deep within the soil. Using this method, he is able to communicate with the plants, trees, and flowers via their roots and provide a burst of energy to help them flourish nearly instantly. Due to the flame elemental magic infused into him, it forces him to be very mindful and gentle of how much concentrated energy to release.
Next, he used his magic to detect the roots of weeds and burned them till nothing remained. Allowing the plants to receive their water and nutrients unbothered. During that moment, a shift in landscape occurred. Thinking it was an animal, he shifted his thermal vision in to see if there were any heat signatures nearby. A human-shaped being approached from out behind the trees in front of him.
Curious about the unknown woman who approached from the lowlit forest, he tilted his head slightly to look her up and down. His gesture displayed curiosity, but the gaze he gave at the mysterious woman was one of an absent-mindedness.
Zeno took a quick blink to channel the essence of the fae magical properties residing within him into his eyes. Like a fresh coat of paint on a dry wall, his field of vision was fresh and vivid. Beginning to see the woman's aura, a blackness bleaker than night enveloping groups of iridescent fractals shimmering hues of blues. This magnitude of darkness was reminiscent of the evil beings who warred with the denizens of the shining light and tainted the sacred earth. Feeling uncomfortable from this being of darkness, Zeno stood up and rekindled his fire, letting it encircle him and the woman. Entertaining the woman's fascination with spirit magic, he summons a wall of flames circling them. Zeno decides to spawn several emerald colored butterfly wisps made of fire from the walls surrounding the woman.
“Greetings Lumikki, your kind offering is very tempting as it would be safer, but I fear not that of wilderness terrors nor that of a Demon~” Zeno spoke strongly with a dry tone of voice while keeping his eyes locked on her.
A smirk grew on his face as he paced around the dancing emerald colored fire. “I never would have expected to meet a member of your kind here... This Paradise Dawn guild is your business operation? The name of this place speaks volumes as it holds one of the highest standings in the north, I was told. A Lot of people whisper its name in the shadows, be it praise or curses… To receive a direct invitation to such a prestigious place, it would be foolish to deny such an offer” with a wave of his hand all the flames disperse, leaving a few wisps floating in the air bouncing around and float back to the man. The wisp spun in a circle and combined, forming fiery green branches, spelling out something. “My name is…Zeno...please lead the way” just as he said his name, the branches spelled his name before filling out and turning into nothing.
