Oberon was filling some canteens for his and Kahn's journey to the Ruborian Desert. The elf decided to stop by the temple of the Mother Goddess to pry and ask for guidance. Kahn had decided to wait Oberon outside the forest! Until after his business was done. Oberon made his way to the temple and saw surprised to see a few elven women there who starred at Oberon in confusion. The elf prince could tell that the women were not ghost. They must have been held captive by the dwarfs and had escaped somehow.
"Lord Oberon?" Asked one of the women.
Oberon replied by getting onto his hands and knees as he bowed before the elven women taking them by surprise.
"I am no lord. A lord of the elves would not have slumber and let his people be killed and enslaved by the dwarfs. A leader would not let himself be used by the forest to create nightmare creatures that killed and corrupt our homeland. I...have failed you and I have failed our forest. I do not deserve the titles lord or prince. I don't deserve any respect from you." Said Oberon.
"Lord Oberon...please, don't beat yourself up for what happened in the past." Said one elf.
"The spirits told us what happened and how you defeated the Forgotten. You saved the world from his return." Said another elf.
"I did, but I still must fix the damage that I caused in my corrupt state." Said Oberon as he looked up at the elves.
"You've already started to fix the damage you caused. If the Mother Goddess and the spirits can forgive you then we will forgive." Said one elf.
"I thank you. I promise that I will fix our forest and the world." Said Oberon as he stood up and headed into the temple.
The statue of the Mother Goddess stood before Oberon and he kneeled before it to pray.
"Oh Mother Goddess I prey for your protection and guidance on this quest. Help me save my friend from the dark path he has been led on and return him to the man he once was." Prayed Oberon.
"Do not worry hero, for you are not alone." Said a voice from behind.
Oberon turned to see a elf spirit floating behind him. The spirit was dressed in armor and had vines wrapped around his, including some vines that resembled a crown. The elf held a staff in his hands and smiled at Oberon.
"Who are you?" Asked Oberon.
"I am Erasmus and the Mother Goddess has sent to be your Spirit Guide to help you with your quest."
"I remember your name. You were the leader of the elves before the war between elves and the dwarfs. I heard you were assassinated by dwarfs and that was one of the main reasons the war began." Said Oberon.
"I was the leader of the elves at that time, but the dwarfs were not responsible for my death. The vile deed was done by the First Overlord, Lord Gromgard, but that was the past and now we must focus on the present and the future." Said Erasmus.
"Alright what is the first thing we need to do?" Asked Oberon.
"First we shall restore Evernight Forest and show you that you've come a long way from being stuck in a tree." Said Erasmus as he floated away with Oberon following him.
The quest was on.
To be continued.
