Freyr's expression darkened as he heard Nagare's words. He knew very well what was the answer. He was an outsider, he choose to left the woods out of his own will, knowing very well what the outcome would be.

[color=8dc73f]"No... I left the village out of my own will, knowing very well that I wouldn't be able to come back. I will be treated as an trespasser... At best, as an outsider..."[/color] Freyr replied to Nagare.

[color=8dc73f]"Even if the woods themselves want to be reunited with it's child, I doubt that the Viera will welcome me again. The viera are a very old race and for them, their traditions are sacred... Even if they might cause them harm..."[/color] Freyr finished, sighing.

[color=8dc73f]"Thanks for hearing me though. I'm sorry I lost my calm for a second. It will be wise for me not to leave today. There are certain preparations that need to be made..."[/color] Freyr said, looking to Nagare before Haley spoke before walking away.

[color=8dc73f]"Yes. I will. Thanks for your concern."[/color] Freyr replied as Haley flew back to the guild. 

[color=8dc73f]"I will depart tomorrow. I won't mind if you wish to come with me."[/color] Freyr said to Nagare, with a kind smile before he went back to the guild, going straight to his room.

[hr]

Freyr woke up early the next morning. Earlier than most. Maybe it was because of what happened the other day or maybe due to how unquiet Freyr's thoughts were, but when the others started appearing, Freyr had already eaten his breakfast and was simply sitting on a chair on the corner of the room, waiting and already prepared to leave. The only reason  why he hadn't left yet was that he still had to ask the other members if anyone wanted to go with him. Why he was doing that? The answer was that he wasn't going to the Vieran Woods only because he felt the need to visit the same woods that he had a deep connection to, but because he wanted the Vieran Elders to know about what was happening on the world outside. A final attempt to make them realize that being stuck on the past and bound by ridiculous traditions would only lead to their own ruin...

After the other members woke up, two Liliraunes who had been contracted by Bart arrived on the guild. According to their cheerful and excited introduction, they were called Vivian and Sylvia. They were contracted to cook and to make medicine for the guild. Freyr knew about their race as the Viera often had a good relationship with the Liliraunes that lived on the woods. Other than the two cheerful new girls, there was another one new arrival. Despite not being exactly his first day on the guild, Freyr didn't have time to pay attention on his arrival due to the events that happened yesterday. While he didn't have much time to pay attention to him, he did seem to have a calm and collected attitude.

The request board did seem to be as full as always on that day. But Freyr wouldn't take any request this time. As he stood up, going towards the request board.

[color=8dc73f]"As some of you might be aware, I will not be taking any request today as I'm going to visit my home, the Vieran Woods..."[/color] Freyr said, raising his voice only a small bit, enough for only those who were interested to hear. 

[color=8dc73f]"It's not an official request and as such, there will be no reward, but those who want to come will be welcome."[/color] Freyr continued.

[color=8dc73f]"There are a few... personal reasons for me going back to the Vieran Woods, including reasons related to my past and certain choices I made, but if I am asking for others to join me, I should give you a reason..."[/color] he said, with a serious expression.

[color=8dc73f]"The Viera are a really old race who lived on the Vieran Woods all their lives, isolated from the outside world. Highly secretive and closed to outsiders, they rarely allow outsiders to enter their village or even the forest. While this kept them safe from wars, conflicts, preserved their race's traditions and way of life, after so many years, they became stuck to these same traditions, living in the past and ignoring the conflicts going on the outside world..."[/color] Freyr said, with the same serious tone from before.

[color=8dc73f]"That includes the problem with Varjo..."[/color] Freyr said, with a somber look on his face.

[color=8dc73f]"Due to how dense the Vieran Woods are, coupled by being defended by the Vieran Spellweaver's magic and the fact that the Vieras are fearsome hunters, they have never suffered an attack from any nation, nor any race from the outside know much about the Vieras themselves. The thing is: Vieras have a certain... particularity regarding their own body and their sensitivity to magic... I will explain more to those that accept coming with me, but if Varjans realize that and try to use Vierans as weapons... Everyone will suffer... Both the Vierans themselves and others, be them humans or monsters."[/color] Freyr finished, looking to those who stopped to hear him.
