Will of chaos

Now I'm talking to a Ghoul and a Shadow Fairy who came here to talk to me, when Layla told me that visitors would come here in a few days I knew I would have more problems.

Just as I thought, Ghoul named Jana said she came here to ask for help, I don't know why problem after problem keeps appearing in this mansion, I have to get out of here before a problem arises that ends up killing me.

"Do you want my help? Why?"  (I)

"Our village Keeper spoke over a month ago that she's been feeling a strange presence coming from this direction, so the village sent me and Dora to investigate what it was."  (Jana)

"The Keeper said that this presence could help us, but no one but her could feel this presence, so we came."  (Dora)

"When we arrived we started looking for the forest of blood, it took us a whole month and we didn't find anything."  (Jana)

"But one day, Dora felt a strong and strange presence coming from the direction of this town, so I sent her here as she could hide from most people's eyes as she is a Fairy."  (Jana)

"If you entered the city you would have been attacked by the guards with no chance of explaining."  (Sophia)

"Yea."  (Jana)

"So this is how the Shadow Fairy found us?"  (I)

"I spent days searching the city without finding anything, but one day I felt the same presence again and followed her here."  (Dora)

"I was surprised by a lot of things after I crossed your barrier of concealment, but as I was talking to Layla I felt an Aura coming from the mansion."  (Dora)

"I imagine it was my Aura."  (I)

"Yes, I realized that the presence I felt before came from that Aura, I can feel it now coming from you, so there's no mistake."  (Dora)

"The moment I felt your Aura I knew who you were and why the Keeper sent us after you."  (Dora)

"You are a Guardian of the Fairies."  (Dora)

"(How did she find out my title? Is it that apparent to the Fairies?)" (I)

"What? The master is a Guardian of the Fairies?"  (Sophia)

I was surprised by Sophia's reaction, she started looking at me like this was a big surprise.

"I thought I told you guys about this, did I forget?"  (I)

"How can you forget to tell something that important, master?"  (Sophia)

"You also don't need to have such a big reaction just because of that."  (I)

While we're talking Freya and Caryna come walking with a large tray floating between them, when they get closer Freya and Caryna start to take things from the tray and put them in front of us, it was some snake meat skewers with sauce and a jug of juice that resembles a mixture of orange and lemon.

"I brought you some snacks, master."  (Freya)

"Thank you, Freya."  (I)

We all started to eat and drink, our two guests looked like they were hungry for the way they were eating, I don't even know how they had time to breathe like that.

"I think I was right to let Alice make more appetizers while I brought these out, I'll go get more."  (Freya)

While Freya returned to the mansion with Caryna and the food was gone, I restarted the conversation.

"I understand how you found me, but you still haven't talked about why you want my help?"  (I)

"I can explain that master."  (Sophia)

"Like a Fairy Guardian you will attract fairies wherever you go, that's why fairies will feel safe and happy around you."  (Sophia)

"But it also means that you've been recognized by the Fairy Goddess as someone to trust, so when the Fairies are in trouble they'll come looking for you."  (Sophia)

"..." (I)

"A Fairy Keeper is someone very respected and loved by us Fairies, someone like that is the best choice to ask for help as even the Fairy Goddess has confidence in him."  (Dora)

"The master may not know it, but the title of Guardian of the Fairies can only be given by the Fairy Goddess Aine."  (Sophia)

So this was a more important title than I thought, but I don't remember these things being written in the description, is it because they are not part of the title's power, but rather a consequence of the meaning of someone having this title?

Sigh

"(I should have known that receiving a title from a God would cause me problems.)" (I)

"You still haven't said you need my help."  (I)

"It's actually having a big problem in the mountain range, that problem started ten years ago and it's been dragging on until now, it got worse and worse over time."  (Jana)

"Before I tell you about the problem let me ask you something, do you guys know anything about the mountain range?"  (Dora)

"I don't know much, I heard about some races that live there like Ogres, Ghouls, and Orcs."  (I)

"I've also heard that the underground caves there are full of mighty Undead."  (I)

While talking to them and listening to the problem that brought them to me, I see Freya coming towards us with more appetizers.

"Thanks, food is great as always."  (I)

"I'm glad you liked it, master."  (Freya)

"Master, it would not be better to listen to the explanation of these two together with the others."  (Sophia)

What Sophia is saying makes sense, others know this region better than I do, Diana must know more about the mountain range.

"You're right, but I don't want to disturb everyone who is resting, let's just call a few."  (I)

"Layla can you call Ivan, Diana, and Vanessa here?"  (I)

"Alright, I'll be right back."  (Layla)

After Layla flies off I wait a few minutes while I continue eating some more appetizers and chat for a bit with Jana, she told me it's been hard in the forest of blood because there are always so many adventurers there, I explained to her that this was why in a short time there must be a large wave of monsters.

It only took a few minutes for Layla to get back together with the people I asked her to bring, when every one arrived I introduced them all, so I briefly explained what Jana had already told us before resuming the conversation.

"Now you can go on, you said the problems started ten years ago, go on."  (I)

"To begin with, the mountain range has always been divided between three territories that belong to the Ghoul, Orc, and Ogre races."  (Jana)

"All the other intelligent races live in one of these territories, it works that way because those three races are the most numerous."  (Jana)

"Each territory has many villages, I was born in a Ghoul village as you can see, I'm a Shadow Element mage who managed to make a contract with a Fairy."  (Jana)

"Ten years ago everything was fine, the three races were far from each other's territories with only a few small battles going on."  (Jana)

"But one day, the Ghoul leader who was a serious and wise person started talking that it would be good to expand our domain, he was someone calm back in the day but he started getting nervous often and punished anyone who didn't obey him."  (Jana)

"Thus began the bloody wars, after each battle, the bodies of the warriors who died were always taken away by the leader and disappeared."  (Jana)

"With each passing month, the leader grew stronger and further removed from the man we all knew."  (Jana)

"After two years of war, he was a completely different person, not just him but more than half of our race as well."  (Jana)

"It took me a long time to realize that being close to the leader was influencing our race, those who stayed close to him started to have more fighting will and a more aggressive temper."  (Jana)

"When we realized this, we gathered those who hadn't been too influenced yet and planned an escape."  (Jana)

"That was years ago."  (Dora)

"While we were looking for a place to live we found other Ghoul villages that were also just like ours and we invited those who wanted to flee to join us."  (Jana)

"I knew a place we could go so I took the Ghouls there, it was a small village with several races of small numbers living there."  (Dora)

"Everyone welcomed us there, that's because the Village Guardian said we weren't emitting malice."  (Jana)

"It was at this point that we found out that the other two races were facing the same situation like ours, there were some people who didn't want to be part of the war and they fled, they told us what happened to their races."  (Jana)

"It was then that we realized that our race was the first to get that way, talking to the others we discovered something in common, the leaders started to change after entering the caves."  (Jana)

"Why did they enter the caves? Are there no powerful Undead there?"  (I)

"That's exactly why, in order not to be attacked by the Undead we have to watch the caves regularly, but strange things started happening in the caves, so the leader has to be informed, but after the leader goes to investigate he comes back different, that's it that happened everywhere."  (Jana)

"As time went by more and more people left their villages and the territories of their races to escape the strangeness that was happening, I and other people with contracts with Fairies and Spirits sent them to look for these people."  (Jana)

"With that, we built a big village little by little, but three years ago no more people arrived and two years ago things changed again."  (Jana)
