Chapter 448 448 No Time Like The Present

Khalifa shrugged and began to cast a spell. "If you truly want to, I won't stop you. I am calling on the Fae of this Forest to see if they agree to expand its borders. If they do, then we can start the spell right away.

Fae magic is best performed the moment that it is spoken aloud so that there is no time to pervert or twist the intention of the spell before it is completed."

That was something that Wolfe did not know. Not that the Fae went out of their way to tell others how their magic worked, but it seemed like an obvious sort of thing that should have been common knowledge among the Witches, at the very least.

When the spell to call the Fae ended, Khalifa smiled at Wolfe, and her cheeks began to blush.

"It seems that the Fae have a lot of things to say about you and what happens here in this village. But they approve of the plan to expand the influence of the spell over the whole of what they call the Frozen Wastes. They say that is the home territory of the animal people, and the Fae like them a lot." She informed him.

Wolfe did his best to hide laughter at the thought of what the Fae might have told her about the happenings in the village, and he wondered what things were like in Faerie. Not that it would ever be safe for him to visit, but he still wondered what their everyday life was like.

"I need to find the original casters of the spell to continue it smoothly. Who was the Fae that helped you?" The Elf asked, still blushing and not quite meeting anyone's eyes.

"Right here. Katerina the Faerie and Katerina the Witch at your service, Princess." A small voice declared before the Faerie came to land on Wolfe's shoulder.

The Elf smiled at the young Faerie and the White Witch that she was partnered with. Strangely, it looked like the Witch was not a pureblood but a mix with a beastkin.

That was something that she hadn't seen before, but the girl was cute, and the aura of a White Witch made her much more pleasant to be around than most Witches.

"The three of you cast the spell?" Khalifa asked curiously.

Katerina shook her head while her Faerie giggled at the thought.

Wolfe answered the question for them. "No, it was us, plus the ten Rank Two Witches that we had at the time, who cast the spell to create the Forest and protect the village.

We have a lot more people now and a lot more power. Some of our Witches are nearly Rank Three, and I've made good progress through Rank Four. With the extra population and the help of the local Fae that have arrived since the forest was created, I think that we should be able to do whatever you have in mind."

Khalifa considered that for a few seconds and then smiled. "Yes, I think that we can do something wonderful here."

The way that she said it was rather concerning, but the Fae were a strange lot, and Wolfe wasn't really sure that, with their propensity for pranks, they were all that trustworthy at the best of times.

But she had the power to help, and she was the only Fae that Wolfe knew who could call on the others and include them in whatever she was doing.

Katerina the Faerie had called her Princess, so perhaps it was due to lineage. Elves were supposed to be powerful, on par with Demons and Magi from before the war, so perhaps her species was the Royalty of their realm.

"Alright, I will agree to work with you to expand the spells that are breaking the Curses on the Frozen wastes. Just tell me what you need. I have a link to all of the Rank Two witches in the Forest, so I can vouch for their participation." Wolfe agreed.

"Marvellous. I will create a set of Arrays, and you finish them. A Magi shouldn't have any trouble doing that, and we will need both you and the Faerie that guided the spells the first time so that the additions will attach properly to the existing spells." She explained.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone mess with our Forest." The little Faerie declared proudly when she saw Wolfe's hesitation, and the Elf began to laugh.

"You really like it here, don't you? I can't say that I blame you. I came here once before to scout, and the one called Wolfe gave me a pack of Worgen as a welcoming gift. If that sort of thing is normal, I must say that this place is an attractive one." She told the Faerie with a wink.

"It's even better for the Witches. He cleans out the damage to their mana flow that the Curses from the war have caused, and he even helps them grow in power instead of just tricking them into believing he will for lewd reasons."

The Elf's musical laughter echoed through the village, and it was drawing in more and more Fae, who either flew over the trees, stepped out of them using magic, or walked in the front gate, staring up at the tower.

"Alright. I think that we have enough willing participants. I am going to start the spells now, and we can get this party started."

As soon as she finished speaking, she started to create arrays, and Wolfe saw that all that was left was for him to add identical layers in the various elements to finish off the creation.

It was a variation of the same spells that they had used the first time, but this time, the radius was not set by the defensive wards. Instead, the radius was variable, and the effect of the Fae Forest's growth would be allowed to grow far beyond the base defensive spells, like the Treants and the other wards that had been placed the first time.

If Wolfe had interpreted them correctly, with help from the Inheritance's knowledge base, this would break the Curses on the Frozen Wastes and purify the land, as well as help it grow, with a defined limit of everywhere that was considered [The Frozen Wastes].

Slowly, everything would be cleansed, and a perpetually warm tropical climate similar to the existing Fae Forest.

That would be strange for some of the species, but the spell wouldn't reach into the mountains, so the truly winter-loving species would still have a home.
