          " Oh dear, are you alright ? " Softly placing a hand on the other's back, Gaia would look down to the extremely dusty book he'd opened. All the dust formed into a cloud upon pages being opened for the first time perhaps a millennia, causing the unsuspecting witch to cough a bit. " I suppose I should've mentioned it's best to be careful when opening these books since...I don't even remember the last time they were touched. " As usual the God had visited Jun with a few ancient magic books, many holding all sorts of spells, most ones that any modern day mage or witch would never know of. Who knew they also came with a spell for causing coughing fits.

          Wiggles finger. “Here-- witchy witchy witchy.” 

          It’d been a while since they had gone to visit a certain witch’s shop and, given today had been a day in which the god felt like interacting with those outside of her usual circle, she’d decided to drop by for a bit. Perhaps even ask if he’d be interested in taking any more of her old spell books and the like. “ I do hope you’ve been taking care of yourself Mr. Witch, otherwise I fear quite a few of my old spell journals and tomes may continue to go unused. “

      The spirit doesn’t say anything as he offers Jun a glass of water. SILENCE can be the best of all condolences, if used right -- And his silence is never buried under the pressure to speak up, it’s always filled with a calmness and acceptance only a ghost could afford. He knows that Jun probably won’t want to talk about his nightmare. He also knows that that’s alright. If that’s the way the other can cope BEST with it, he doesn’t mind. He’ll simply wait until he’s sent away again.

        " i'd say i'm surprised that someone of your kind got pass the border guards but, those two were probably slacking off somewhere, and granny's out currently too. " a low groan would leave her, not at all directed towards him, but rather a certain pair of twins. silently their head would tilt, eyes squinting a bit. " you don't seem too bad though, so i guess it's alright. "

Alain was Alexander Belrose’s best friend, childhood friend and ultimately his confidante. He was a huge benefactor to allowing the late King to exceed in his plans, he even went to drastic measures in order to do so. None expected him to be anything but kind and understanding, he even won favor of the late King’s children - so much so to the point of being called uncle as an affectionate term. Prior to the birth of the King’s children, Alain had made it his priority to make sure that Alexander’s plans were successful, he had done so by exploiting time magic from a capture Tempus girl. Her name was Lilianna and ultimately she managed to get the girl to fall in love with him so that she would comply to his wishes in a peaceful manner. Alain would lavish the captive time mage with gifts, dresses and meals even if she was never freed from the dungeon cell that is many miles UNDER the castle grounds. When the Crowning War was in it’s full effect, when the nations would fight back, he would use Lilianna’s powers to change the outcome and it was how Alexander was capable of conquering the entire realm of Terrasperum. All of these methods were kept secret, not even his best friend was aware that his feats were not of his own doing but because of Alain’s manipulation. Of time magic that was waning in the world. Although he was highly intelligent, he could not predict the outcome of the Lawrence’s uprising and start of a war upon the Kingdom. He did know upon the exile of the dhampir prince, he hired a cambion boy to be a spy on the group. It was the perfect way to keep tabs on him except upon the last year or two, he was no longer being relayed any reports. This did make him suspicious yet there was nothing he could have done about it. He made sure to attend to the King as he did although he could tell that he was becoming restless. The further he tried to exploit Lilianna to check the different outcomes, there was nothing he could do to prevent Lawrence from ending up the way he was - the King’s wife would no longer love him due to the King’s dismissal of their first child. Every result ends up in his only child being sent away by his own vile decision. Come the war, Alain had been in the dungeons trying to worm his way to figuring out how to change the timelines, he had come face to face with Lawrence and his companion, the cambion boy as well. Wanting some leverage and to sway the dhampir prince, he reveals to the group that he had the cambion spy for him, that he knew their plans and of course this upset Lawrence. What Alain did not expect was that Lawrence managed to sway the cambion, even more so to the point that they were in a mutual form of love - that ended the moment this bit of information was revealed. Startled, he rushes into the dungeon cell that held the Tempus girl, Lilianna and once again, he was startled. He did not expect for her to have overheard his conversation with the group. Alain would hear that Lawrence had slain the cambion just out in the dungeon hallway, his cries echoing into the cell. Lilianna was disgusted, angry and questioned him about his motives, discovering that he had been using her to prevent this confrontation. He dismisses these accusations yet it didn’t do much to prevent what was to happen next. In a fit of sheer rage and conviction. Lilianna had erased his existence within that very moment. Lilianna with her powers over time and space, eradicated Alain’s existence from the realm - every memory that existed, was replaced with a type of fog. No one remembers his name, all photos and documentations of his life were wiped out. It was truly like he never existed.
