After losing Naida, Oliver was consumed with grief and guilt, blaming himself for her death and feeling he should have protected her better. The weight of her sacrifice weighed heavily on his heart, making it difficult for him to cope with the pain.
One day, as Oliver sat alone and mourned, a mysterious figure approached him. It was Arion Shadowblade, an experienced guardian who had always been a formidable and enigmatic presence among them.
Arion saw the pain in Oliver's eyes, a reflection of his own loss, and recognized the potential within him. He offered Oliver his hand in silence, providing him with the support and guidance he needed.
Under Arion's tutelage, Oliver began to channel his grief and guilt into something constructive. He trained hard and even learned the art of archery, which would later become his greatest strength.
