No elf is more fitting of the description of a "father" than Sermias.
He has roamed for years.
He has been ostracized.
He possesses a dangerously immense power that once withered Yasen, but not long after, the plague vanished, and Yasen revived.
No one knows the reason behind the plague's retreat, but what if it was Sermias?
"Death," and then "rebirth."
"Demise," followed by "growth."
At that time, the plague had invaded Yasen. Sermias, yearning for his homeland, returned and naturally wanted to protect the land. His power spread, exterminating the plague, and then rejuvenating the earth.
Of course, these were just Roy's speculations.
Reasonable speculations.
As he descended the stairs, Roy noticed the middle-aged noble peering from a corner and a fear-stricken youth.
The middle-aged man should be the owner of this castle, Sebatide Hughes' first follower.
It seemed they regarded her and Sermias as the Devil's minions.
