✨The Life of Léon✨ (~3500 to present)

Child of All
"Leon was born to a mother from an ancient druidic tribe in Lavedan of Gallia at the height of the Papacy, she found herself a part of an even older cause - foretold to bear the catalyst child. His father was a warlord of a nomadic Gothian clan, who was equally led to a greater calling than his own. They met by fate, but fell in love out of chance. Guided by both the Adonii beyond in Elphame, and the sacred messengers above in Heaven, the couple raised their son Leon to be well learned and capable. He was blessed with great Spirit reserves and control due to this lineage and tutelage. He learned of esoteric and enlightened subjects from his connections. Which all paved the way for his renown and influence in academia, politics, and spiritual matters of the Druids or Priests.

Pact of Binding
The day came that Leon was met by an unknown Fay through the avatar of a delicate Craneflower - it spoke to him of Creations past and promises unfulfilled. In the end the Ancient One, going by the Mana’Rkive, offered Leon a choice - to help aid it in protecting all of Creation for the future, while cleansing the Sins of the past. If he agreed, he and the Fay would become as one - Leon a vessel for the Adonii to affect the world more while hidden from holy retribution, while the Mana’Rkive would share his superior Lifeforce and boundless knowledge. He learned that he was not the first to make this pact with the being, but was hopefully the last after all they had learned from the past.

Crusade of Dusk
As Sin took root in the Holy See, the fate of Leon, his family, and his people were bleak, as the radical Inquisition branded them heretics and sentenced them to death. Despite their power and knowledge, it was no match for the Divine wielding humans who held dominion over most of the Known World, misled and empowered by Sin. Leon’s flesh was ended, but his soul lived on through Demira’s Second Arch, until the day the spark would be reignited so he could fulfill their long awaited purpose, centuries in the making. The Age of Renewal is here, the first Scions have awoken - Leon has returned.”
