## History

### Year 60

The Moonhalf Banquet, a festival for dwarves, was approaching, and Babbi's father sent him to Lake Bovaly to find crystals. While he was there, Babbi stumbled across the sleeping Chloris and attempted to wake him because he was afraid he was unconscious or dead. Unfortunately, this really did wake the elf prince up from his hundred-year sleep, twenty years too early.

Babbi was deathly terrified once he realized who had woken up, and he only got more scared when the other elf prince, Lakris, appeared to see what had happened. However, Chloris and Lakris realized together that Babbi meant no ill will, or else the seal guarding Chloris would have attacked him, and they reassured Babbi that they didn't blame him at all.

His actions did not go unnoticed by the other dwarves. They all spread rumors that Babbi was a goner for waking up someone so important, and Chloris' reputation for being cold did not help. When Babbi's father found out his son had woken up Chloris, he didn't look at Babbi or take him to the banquet that night, furthering Babbi's worries.

When Babbi finally brought the subject up with his father, he told him that Babbi had permanently affected Chloris' sleep, echoing the sentiments of the other dwarves. He told him that without something called the "Fruit of the Holy Spirit", Chloris would never be able to recover, though he gave no hints other than that "only god [knows] where it is". Babbi thought this over and, overcome with guilt because of his mistake, decided to search for the legendary fruit.

Knowing the legend that the god lived in Pamir Forest, the north part of Pigeon Forest, Babbi decided to go there and ask the god directly where he could find the fruit. He snuck out when his father wasn't there, ignoring the taunts of the other dwarves, and set off, hoping he would be able to find what he was looking for. The Pamir Forest, however, was a forbidden land, and people tended not to return when they went there. Babbi soon got lost and began to cry.

Babbi's father, upon discovering his son was missing, immediately accused the elves of imprisoning him. This brought Babbi's disappearance to the attention of the still-awake Chloris and Lakris, who realized Babbi could be in danger. Given their relative power, they decided to find him and return him.

They discovered him crying and made sure he was okay. Chloris explained again that they did not blame him for what happened, and even debunked the idea of a magical fruit. They talked about the conflicts and tensions between the elves and the dwarves, and stressed the need for unity between the two species.

Together, they took Babbi back to the forest and presented him in front of everyone. They put a cape of flowers around him and named him as someone who could see past the differences between dwarves and elves. The Forest Elf warriors took Babbi back to his village safely while Chloris returned to sleep.

### Year 80

During the next twenty years, Babbi went on to work hard and become a great dwarf designer. His best work was a frontlet for Chloris, who he knew would wake up slightly weakened. When he awoke in this year, Babbi offered it to him, and unexpectedly Chloris accepted the gift and merged it with his own frontlet, which allowed him to hear the thoughts of Lakris.

## Relationships

### Chloris

Babbi greatly respects Chloris, though during their first meeting, this respect resulted in him being utterly terrified of him. However, as time went on and even the cold-natured Chloris praised Babbi, Babbi began to look up to Chloris. During the period of time before Chloris was set to wake up again, Babbi waited by his banyan hole often for the elf prince to wake up. It was clear that Chloris respected Babbi as well, accepting the dwarf's gift.
