Fiora Archeron

## [source]

**Fiora Archeron** is the daughter of Richard Archeron and Coco Archeron.

She seems to possess intelligence upon birth. Upon inspection by the Broodmother, she confirms that Fiora has been marked by the Scholars of Soremburg, and quite possibly had her soul swapped by one of the mages. Hence, the initial fear that Richard saw when he first held her, confirming his suspicions..

Broodmother expelled the Scholar's soul [9;53]

## **Appearance**

### **New Born**

Her features seemed to be inherited from his elven side, with a partial resemblance to her mother as well. This was a beautiful baby that could even pass off as an elf, but in the depths of her irises he could see the crimson magma of her Archeron blood.

His gaze was drawn to her right ear and the section of her face around it, where there was a dark red birthmark that looked like jumping flames. This was a natural rune. These flames on the baby’s face were a good indicator of her talent.

Even now one could tell that she would grow up to be beautiful, with strands of wavy fire red hair stuck to her scalp and her olive skin glowing brightly like a polished ruby.

She inherited the elvish features from Richard, and some resemblance to Coco. It is said that she is beautiful enough to pass off as a elf. She has olive skin and fiery red hair

### **Growth**

She was small, but surprisingly had the strength to push an epic Richard to the ground. Looking at the little girl that seemed about seven or eight years old, she had the same lava-like hair as a pure bred Archeron. It had not been more than a few months since she was born.

Initially, the broodmother had planned to arouse her bloodline to resist the soul trap, but it accidentally increased her growth rate a hundredfold. Now, she lives a full year in only three days until maturity. There were a number of powerful races whose offspring matured in a single year, living for tens of millennia afterwards. There were supposedly even infants that could roam the void upon birth. This growth would stop once Fiora passed maturity, so there was no need to worry too much.

### **Adult**

The voice was strange yet familiar, being pleasant with a hint of wildness. Richard felt a powerful aura suddenly burst up outside his door, the very fact that they had gotten so close concerning him for a moment. He still allowed them inside, confident that he could even defeat Asa with ease now that his analysis of the foundational laws of Faelor was complete, but as a fiery-haired young lady walked in he frowned with confusion.

Richard finally realised that the girl did indeed resemble his own daughter, even if the aura had changed significantly. Only half a month ago she had seemed to be a little girl who was seven or eight, but given what the broodmother had told him about her growth rate he realised that she would indeed be an adult now. It was simply that her talent was beyond his anticipation; in mere months since her birth, the girl was already legendary. As someone who had suffered for decades to accomplish the same thing, he simply couldn’t help a hint of resentment.

As someone who looked around the age of twenty himself, Richard seemed young enough to be her lover instead. Has red-hair braided into a ponytail.

### **Personality**

"Richard sat in his room with a minor headache, massaging his forehead as he thought about his rowdy daughter. Fiora technically wasn’t even a year old, but she was already a handful to deal with. Eccentricity was one thing, but she had a cunning to her that he could only chalk up to having grown up with the broodmother. However, she was also hot-blooded enough to truly be an Archeron, the combination of which would undoubtedly serve to hurt the prestige he had built up in Norland."

## Plot

### **Scheming Soulwalker**

The Scholar who burrowed inside Fiora's soul was named Jinfarah, used his own soul to become her. Fiora's will would wither away with time, allowing him to occupy her body entirely. But that also meant that he would have to bear everything she experienced. So the broodmother used the same method on Zangru, but this time she placed her in a region of empty darkness where she would be able to sense nothing but her own blood flow. The Scholar went mad soon enough, so the broodmother managed to find his hiding spot and pull him out.

He couldn’t take the torment. There were almost no memories for her to look through once he was out.

Rage immediately filled Richard’s eyes. Zangru had been drained of all his blood repeatedly, to the point where even the bastard demigod collapsed mentally and was reformed. With the bloodline being stimulated on top of that, the process definitely wasn’t pleasant. For his own daughter to go through such a thing almost prompted him to blame the broodmother, but he restrained himself and glared, “No worries. I’ll destroy them all one day.”

Bidding farewell, he left Fiora in the broodmother’s care and returned to the primary battlefield. One reason was that the Land of Turmoil was the safest part of Faelor right now, and another was that the larval forest and the worker drones were the only way he knew to give the girl the same amount of nutrition in a day that normal children got in a full year.

### **Bewildering Talent**

“Nasia said…” he glared at the paladin for a moment before continuing impatiently, “This has nothing to do anyway, you don’t have any actual combat experience. The reaper base isn’t a place where you can play around; even the moderately sized warships can hurt you.”
“But I’m already good at fighting! I know how to fight so many kinds of enemies; the reapers aren’t one of them, but I promise I’ll be careful!”

Fiora’s words left Richard dumbstruck. Thinking of a possibility, he glanced at Nasia once more who groaned lazily, “She’s awakened the warrior bloodline. Admit it Richard, your talent is garbage.”
Greyhawk suddenly smiled as well, rubbing salt into Richard’s wounds with an explanation, “I was about to say as well. Most powerful bloodlines pass experience through the generations. Only the strongest of descendants can awaken this experience. You know, Mountainsea is the same; she didn’t just inherit the strength of the Beast God, she also inherited its combat experience. Your gifts truly are lagging behind a little, you should try harder.”

I can destroy almost all of you!’ Richard wanted to shout, but the words got caught on his tongue. As he activated the Field of Truth and analysed his own daughter, he could confirm that she had no significant pool of either mana or internal energy. Her bloodline alone had propelled her to the legendary realm, and the mere circulation of that power was proof enough that she had combat experience she shouldn’t. From his point of view, she wasn’t much different from a lesser demon lord in human form.

“You have a demon’s experience and a human body. There are a number of things that your experience will say you should be able to survive that just kill you in one shot. Promise to stick with Nasia, or I’m putting you to sleep and having you ferried back.” With the admonishment prompting his daughter to shrink back and nod, Richard turned to face the others, “If there’s nothing else, prepare to attack.”

## **Abilities**

### **Runes**

* **Natural Rune:** A extremely rare naturally occurring rune that comes from powerful bloodlines with great potential. These runes hold more power than traditional runes that doesn't tax one's capacity, and scales as they age. It appears as a dark red birth mark resembling jumping flames that covers her right ear, and onto the side of her face.

### **Affinity to Flames**

Fiora has a natural affinity to flames. This allows her to interact with flames unharmed while still a newborn. She only starts to hesitate with flames reaching thousands of degrees. It seems that flames imbued with Dizmason, and the Blue Star is capable of causing her harm.

* **Abyssal Flames**: She is capable of creating Abyssal Flames upon birth. This feat is comparable to greater demons born in the abyss.

## Trivia

* She didn’t look anything like a newborn, staring at all the attendees with wide-eyed curiosity, and the dark red currents in the depths of her eyes didn’t escape the attention of many. The very fact that she was so mature already showed how strong her bloodline was; just like a baby dragon, she possessed great intelligence at birth.
* Her name was pronounced similarly in Common as in divine tongue, and meant something akin to the Ruler of Flames.
