Arthur's Back Story

*As only Raven was the one who found out about the Princess's awakening, he decided to keep it a secret as she also decided not to pull attention to Raven. Everyone left for their daily lives soon after still in a bit of shock that the legends they thought to be just legends were true and the fact that they were present in the start of the return of the Legendary Era filled everyone's minds with excitement. As everyone started to leave Arthur was able to feel Raven's Holy Mana, before be could react Raven left feeling a bit disappointed in Arthur's ability level.

Time went by and nothing much changed, the followers increased, Raven's frame was increasing with Arthur's good deeds and everything was calm till it wasn't. Arthur had completed mastering his skills as Raven had instructed, now he had kept his bargain and Raven was supposed to tell him his origin that Arthur never had interest in till receiving Raven's help in the dungeon and after knowing that the god he follows knows his roots that even he didn't know of. Arthur's dedication was true, but he didn't have a blind dedication because he wanted the truth and wanted to know what was going on in his life being far from what he could have imagined himself.

Raven asked Arthur to prey in front of his statue and soon Arthur found himself on top of a Snow Mountain with Raven wearing his white mask covering half of his face while he sipped tea from a cup. With the situation and how Raven looked at Arthur, he knew he had to sit down too. After a few awkward moment of silence with only the sound of sipping tea, Raven got up while gesturing for him to continue sitting. Then Raven used his hands to cover Arthur eyes and broke the seal that sealed off Arthur childhood memories before he was send to the orphanage. Arthur went thought a series of scenes as if reliving 9 years in a brief moment, he know knew the truth. Arthur wasn't abandoned or left, he was sent off because his uncle had plotted his whole family's dead as an accident with the whole court of nobels backing him. Knowing the extremely unfavorable situation Arthur was sent off to an orphanage far from Afrados, to prevent him from returning or think about revenge his parents had the Royal Mage seal his memories, everything was for his safety. Knowing everything now Arthur couldn't stop himself from crying his eyes out, when he opened his eyes again to thank Raven, he was already back in the Temple like nothing had happened except his tears continued to roll down and sorrow still in his eyes. Crying still in preyer position he wasn't determined to take revenge, knowing what his parents would want him to do even after the seal on his memories was removed.

A few days went by calmly again only difference being Arthur looked dull, his eyes seemed heavy, actions less energetic as if his shoulders were being weighted down by something that was now visible to the eyes. He seemed to be at half of what he used to be. Raven could tell the shock was heavy for him, the family the thought gad abandoned him was actually keeping him safe from non other then his own uncle that according to his past memories pampered him the most, the person he was the most close to had betrayed him and his family. He remembered that Afrados had sealed it's borders for quite a while and was keeping information sealed inside itself, which also meant that there was a chance his parents were alive, but for sure not well. He didn't know if he should even try to take revenge or follow as his parents said to keep himself safe. The questions were drowning him in stress and thoughts that he couldn't answer himself, he continued to prey to Raven and asked for guidance but received no answer. He was sure his Master wanted him to solve his own problems and not depend on anyone not even his own Master.

Still holding back his tears from crying to sleep nearly every night, he recovered from the shock and was much more stable in just a few days. Arthur decided to keep his revenge on hold, just till he was strong enough to take on his Uncle and potentially save his parents if they were alive. Arthur increased his efforts giving most of his waking hours teaching young followers that wanted to believe in Raven's teachings not only by preying, but by coming under his wing. They temple was visited by several different organizations over the time including travelers interested in the rediscover of Holy Magic, adventurers seeking healing and new followers wanting to come under temple's guidance. Arthur was being bombarded with work everyday, but he didn't complain, instead he used everything as a benefit for their growth. Taking money from those who needed healing and who wanted to see or study Holy Magic and distribut a part of it to those who needed it, training more followers with at least heal helped Arthur from wasting his time and he also made some connections with local serves, bars and all food shops to supply him food for it's price using the money collected, not only that he also started construction on two more temple in Atlush at such points it made a triangle around the Castle.

Then it happened, the biggest commotion there could have been and the biggest talk of the day. Athina was unable to stop herself from healing an injured bird she found during her daily walks around the Royal Garden made just outside the Royal Library. It Happened to been when her brothers came to pick her up and seeing her use Holy Magic like Arthur made them both overjoyed and scared, because now their sister, who they thought to be a book worm knew Holy Magic. When the Emperor questioned her she lied that she was always able to feel Holy Mana, but never use it, but after the Baptism she could now use it too. Athina suffered with a rare condition called Mana Deviation and could use Mana or thus she could use any form of Magic, but now she could which made the Emperor overjoyed*.
