January 13 1988
Inside a house on 12 Trevor Square, London, on the third floor of the building, there slept an eight-year-old child, Oberon, waking up to the feeling of a paw repeatedly pawing his cheek, forcing him to wake up.
"Fouuuu, could yo *yawn* please stop" Oberon begged Fou tiredly.
"Fou fou foooouuu" (NO!!!!!!!!!!)
"Why can't you be like Ornn or Aries?" he asked as he rubbed his eyes.
Just when he finished the pillow, his head was resting on moved, pushing Oberon's head up.
"Meeehhh"
"Yes, yes, the brilliant Aries is the best pillow in the world"
Just as Oberon said, this other figure appeared unlike Aries, who looked more like a wooloo from Oberon's older memories. Ornn was a creature of nature. He possessed two large horns that looked like they were made of bark, his fur was made of leaves with unnatural colours of blue and purple, basically, if a tree became a pig with horns but small.

Oberon started to pat and rub Ornn's fur as he said, "Hey Ornn, who's the cutest? Yes, you are"
Morgana appeared out of that same void just like when she first appeared in front of him all those years ago (4).
"Hey, teach what's today's lesson?"
"We have checked your understanding of maths and language, and they are still solid"
"I told you so"
"Well, most people forget some of the hard things if they don't use them often"
"Don't lie, you just wanted an excuse to catch up on what humans have learned in the last, what, like 1000 years you weren't among them"
"Correction, I was among them in the last 10 years, so ha"
"So the lesson?"
"Well today we go over some basic understanding of magical beast the corrupted kind, now from the understanding of wizards of the current era there are two types of corrupted beasts, the ones created from miasma infecting a normal magical species, this include gobline, fae, centaur, wyverns, and merfolk are some examples, any creature besides a human can be corrupted this is because of the closeness to magic which the other races have, humans there connection to magic could not be called shallow but every wizard has a core inside your body that purifies magic that you absorb from the atmosphere."
"What about the dragon, the ones you said my heart is from?"
"Their heart functioned like a human's core, and your heart does that function, the exception to the rule that every human who could wield magic having a core would be you and my brother Arthur, both of you have hearts that absorb your cores when you activated them"
"Okay, so no corruption for me, got it and the second?"
"The Hell Preta, they are creatures made from an extreme amount of miasma merging together to form abominations of nature, they are stronger than a corrupted beast of the same rank and usually they would have an Arcane aspect think of them as a separate race from the corrupted beasts they would be the lord of the beasts generals which command fear from the normal population of wizards, only extremely strong wizards could fight them, begins like me, Arthur, Merlin, and maybe Dumbledore if the rumors are true about him being the second coming of Merlin"
"Yeah i could not tell you from what I remember, he wasn't much, but I don't really know, plus this world has that fusion with Jjk like power system"
"Yes, you still have to show me those memories, by the way, you promised more entertainment"
"Yeah, yeah, how about you teach me Occlumency then?"
"Why would I know that primitive art? My mind was already a fortress from my connection to the magic of England; being its destined ruler had its perks"
"Destined still did not get to sit on the throne", he bit back while sticking his tongue out.
"Watch your language, brat. I was the one who trapped Merlin in a tower for the rest of his miserable life"
"Yeah, yeah, Merlin was not as great as Morgana, the one true king of England"
"Thats more like it"
"Now, to explain the ranks of these corrupted ranks, you have grade 3, grade 2, grade 1, and special grade. Grade 3 means that the person needs a shotgun, 2 means a rpg, and 1 means that even a tank might not be enough. Special grade really depends on what end of the scale the corrupted is it could be a new special grade is strong enough that those cluster bombs humans have might just be enough but a true special grade that has realised its power that would need something that most wizards aren't strong enough to command only a special grade wizard could kill a true special grade corrupted beast."
"Yeah, so if I see a special grade run, if I'm not strong enough, got it"
"Hope that you can run, or that you have not caught their attention yet"
"What about if I used you?"
"If you really need to use me, then you would be fine, but remember, your goal is to become strong to protect your family; relying on just me would not be enough"
They both turned to look, and the three small spirits playing on the floor, Fou jumping on top of Aries, going up and down as Aries looked unaffected, and Ornn taking care of a small plant in the corner of the room.
"If the abilities I have given each of them should be fine, the only problem is finding something that could give Fou his own mana, like with Aries and his 1000 diamonds or Ornn and that piece of bark from yggdrasil"
"Well, for your new spirit, I can find the sword Gram, you said you wanted to recreate Fenrir. How's the progress?"
"Slow, I mean Fenrir needs to be destruction incarnate, it needs to tear through magic like it's nothing i mean, how else would you create a beast of ragnarok got to give it the proper powers"
"The ability to tear through magic hum, the graphorn has the most resistance to magical spells, maybe if you combine this with Gram's destructive powers i could probably help you synthesise the trait for magical destruction"
"Where would we even find a Graphorn? The last one I know about was the lord of the shore, and I'm not sure it even existed in this universe"
"A live Graphorn might be hard, but the bones should give you enough information for that side"
"Okay lets do it"
------
Morgana and Oberon appeared in front of the white cliffs of Dover; a cave was there, protected by magical runes that looked like what Morgana had explained to him were of Fae origin.
"This cave, it was made by the Fae?"
"Yes, this was made by Ariel. She loved magical creatures and built a sanctuary for them, but she, just like the rest, died"
"Do you think any of the beasts are still alive?"
"Probably not is been ages since Ariel was alive, and these runes are barely keeping the concealment functions running"
They walked through the mouth of the cave, entering, and all they saw was runes along a cavern and bones, large bones.
"Those must be Graphorn's bones"
"Yes, those look like they come from a large Graphorn, maybe even bigger than the lord of the shore from your memories"
Oberon slowly approached the bones. When he reached them, he touched them with his hand, and a flood of information came into his mind.
"This will definitely help us. We just need to find Gram, any leads"
"From what I've pieced together so far, after Sigurd's death, he was buried in a tomb near where his legendary battle with Fafnir happened, probably as a way to show gratitude for his battle that saved germany"
"When can I get it?"
"2-3 days max"
"Okay, thanks, Morgana"
"You're welcome, but how about you find some of these legendary treasure your using, huh?"
"Maybe when I'm older"
"sure, sure"
