Freyr couldn't help but to let out a discreet smile at the young Ozzy's cheerful personality, curiosity and love for knowledge. While books and knowledge about the Viera were indeed scarce, the boy seemed to know everything someone who wasn't a Viera would be able to know about his race.

[color=8dc73f]"The Vieras are historically very secretive, yeah. Still, I do sympathize with your thirst for knowledge. Whenever you have some free time, I would more than gladly share what I know about my people."[/color] Freyr said with a respectful nod. It was indeed very impressive that someone so young had such a big thirst for knowledge.

Other than that, he was almost certain by now that being cheerful and happy was a trait shared by most harpies. Not that it was bad, of course, it was only... curious. Maybe it had something to do with harpies having faster metabolism than other races?

Despite everything that had happened and not having solved the issue about the black crystal yet, the day was finally over and Freyr was able to enjoy a good and tranquil night of sleep.

As usual, Freyr rose up from bed early the next morning. For him it was already a habit to do so and even if he wanted to sleep more, his body basically would wake up by itself when the first rays of dawn arrived. Arriving on the guild hall for a quick breakfast, Freyr couldn't help but to notice that despite being well... a gigantic hole in the wall... it was really nice and peaceful to drink a cup of tea while watching the sunrise. 

He was surprised though when Bartholomew came to warn the guild that they had finally earned enough money to fix the wall and he had called the construction crew to fix it today. Maybe it was for the best but Freyr would miss the cool morning breeze and the oversized window.

Before going in a quest though, Freyr had something to do first, which involved the strange black crystal he had found on his visit to the Vieran Woods. 

[color=8dc73f]"Bartholomew, we need to talk... Something happened while we were on the Vieran Woods."[/color] Freyr said in a low tone as he approached Bartholomew.

[color=8dc73f]"Varjans..."[/color] Freyr said as he raised his hand towards Bart. On the middle of his hand, Bartholomew would see something carefully wrapped in leather.

[color=8dc73f]"They found a way to... repel, or maybe ward off the magic of the woods... It was... strange. They were trying to capture Vieras, to use them as weapons, by branding them with magic runes and sigils, taking advantage of our magic sensitive bodies to make us go into a frenzied state..."[/color] Freyr explained, with a serious concern in his voice.

[color=8dc73f]"Things are changing, Bart. We need to take a side. The Vieras are preparing themselves to go to war..."[/color] he finished.

Just the words that the Vieras, who were known for closing themselves into their forest and not caring about the outside, were going to war, was enough for Bart to realize that if something was able to make the Vieras take such a radical posture and change how they dealt with outside matters that much, it was indeed serious.

Before Freyr could say anything more or Bartholomew could answer though, Freyr, who was initially oblivious to the 'intruder' that had arrived, heard Titanica's angry roars, followed by strange screeches and clear sounds of battle. Even though Freyr knew, judging by the sounds, that Titanica was going away from the Guild, to the woodlands, he knew very well how... destructive... Titanica could be... If something made her that angry, who knew what she would do...

[color=8dc73f]"Sorry Bart, we will talk more later. If someone doesn't stop Titanica soon, something bad might happen..."[/color] Freyr said as he quickly put the leather wrapped crystal on Bartholomew's hands and ran after Titanica and whoever the intruder was.
