Hello, I am back~~! I am busy but inspired so I'm making my grand return with making a new story. I also just returned to playing Dragonfable and got a slight nosebleed after seeing Book 3 version Aegis, he is my favorite NPC, no doubt and the designers were nice enough to give him a new look (Damn! He now looks just like a human, makes me wanna kiss him if I can.) and a new skillset, as well as his eagerness to assist the Adventurer in any way possible. Another fanfic gave me the inspiration so I'm joining in on spreading the love for Aegis around. Seriously, he deserves a place at the character search category.

This fanfic I'm making now is heavily based on the game itself, though I might make small changes somewhere so let me tell you that I do not own Aegis or any of Dragonfable's contents, except for the Adventurer herself whose name will be revealed in a later chapter.

Just to let you know that I will try to upload 1 chapter per week, depending on the progress of the game itself. Now I'm also waiting for Tomix Saga's finale (I'm gonna kill Aspar/Envy for what he did to Aegis at the aftermath of War at the Core boss fight, just you wait, you heart-breaking spirit).

Chapter 1 - Memory

How long has it been? 3 years? 7? 10? I lost count. Last time I remembered was myself trying to reach out to Jaania, my long lost sister but the amount time she spent in that crystal made her unaware of who I really am that I decided to leave that after merging Wargoth and the Professor back into Warlic. But I was too late just as Jaania casted a powerful ice spell, encasing me, Warlic, Xan and Konnan into a large ice crystal. I can hear Jaania mentioning about her desire to end magic for good, no matter what it takes, before she left us in our frozen prison. The other three were able to get free and leave so it is becoming lonely. I could sense two other beings visiting me as I remain frozen up on the hill where my adventure as the Hero of Lore began. The two beings were Storm, my pet dragon, and Aegis, my Soul-Ally. I don't know what they were doing here as everything seemed to be blurry. But I now can no longer sense their presence and I don't know why. I'm starting to feel very nostalgic, the beginning of my destiny, meeting Sepulchure whom I might consider a rival, getting my own dragon, etc. But the best memory I experience, in which I can always remember it as if it were yesterday, is meeting Aegis.

After defeating Greed at Pellow Village, Tomix offered to teach me about becoming a Soulweaver and told me I need to find a Soul-Ally and form a bond with it. Tomix then sent my soul to the Plane of Elemental Spirits and advised me to be quick otherwise I won't be able to return to my body. As I found myself at the Plane of Elemental Spirits, it is an amazing place, I'll tell you, though I admitted that I did not want to make such a journey again. I met a yellow female Elemental Spirit who is in need of help but our conversation was cut short by an unknown male light blue Elemental Spirit. The male spirit scolded the female spirit, Pandora I heard, and told her to return to her domain. As Pandora left, he told me about Pandora's tendency to bring misfortune to those around her and then introduced himself as Aegis. I told Aegis of how I am beginning to learn the ways of a Soulweaver but I'm in need of a Soul-Ally. Aegis appeared not to show any interest though he mentioned that he needed to find a hero, one he could respect and support. I was about to tell him that I'm a hero but we suddenly heard a scream. We rushed to the source, only to find Uthuluc running free, as it was mistakenly realeased by Pandora. Aegis was ready to fight it and I offered to help and told him I'm a hero but Aegis tells me to sit back as I was unable to do anything in my current condition. That may be true but I don't like standing back and doing nothing while someone else takes care of the monsters. After Aegis successfully froze Uthuluc which may last for a century, he turned to me and asked what kind of hero I am and the deeds I did. I told him of my destiny to save the world with Storm, racing against Sepulchure for the Elemental Orbs while helping people. Aegis heard enough and decided to become my Soul-Ally, allowing me to begin my training as a Soulweaver.

As I thought more about it, I recalled that Aegis seemed to be a hothead before we formed a bond, but he became much calmer. He was always there for me, just as I began to feel a great amount of fear when the darkness created by the Super Mega Ultra Darkness Dracolich covered Lore completely, Aegis was among the ones who cheered me up as he promised to be my shield, since defending is his forte as he is the Elemental Spirit of Valor. Since the promise he made, I feel a lot safer whenever I'm around him, as if I am always ready to face anything Lore could throw at me. Despite Storm being with me more than Aegis, Aegis understood me a lot, of all the regretful decisions I made in the past and how I failed sometimes, he always encouraged me to look up for the future. For some reason, I just thought of a short song, a lullaby if you will, as I spent my time frozen in this block of ice.

You rest inside my mind,

Since the day you came

I knew you would be with me.

All the times we spent,

What we shared was surely

Warm enough for you to care for me.

Light flies through memory,

Helps me walk my path,

I'll keep my head up high.

Words of faith and love,

Your strength gives me hope,

Someday I'll find you with open arms.

Realizing that Aegis was all I thought of, I now have the desire to see him that I tried to break free of my frozen prison. It took a lot of effort, considering my current posture, but I was finally able to shatter the ice completely, making me drop to the ground as if I tripped while attempting to reach out to someone dear to me. I struggled to get up and make my way towards Oaklore if I'm not mistaken. I may be weakened after so much time being frozen, in which I can understand how Jaania felt as she was imprisoned back then, I have to find Aegis and I am 100% certain he will be waiting for me at Ravenloss. I am on my way, Aegis.
