Ensio

## [source]

**Ensio** is one of the best mages to have come out of Deepblue, as well as Sharon's number one disciple. He was the one true genius amongst all of Sharon’s students, the one with the greatest potential and skill.

He was the only legendary being amongst Sharon's disciples at the time. Furthermore, he is known to have travelled the myriad planes, and also the overlord of his own region of planes.

## Overview

Sharon's best disclple [5,29] Richard having fought multiple legendary beings now, he knew just how much of a freak Ensio was despite being a fresh legend himself.

Traumatized Voidbones for ten years.

Just as they knew the problem child amongst Sharon’s students, they knew her best apprentice as well. Unlike Voidbones, this was someone who could be counted on.

Nobody knew why Ensio was here outside of Blackgold, but the grey dwarf was still trying to keep his churning innards at bay.

His power lay in milky white flames. A fiery explosion shook the terrace of the Deepblue, a raging ball of flames starting to expand upwards from the location of the portal. In a mere instant it was thousands of feet wide, the bottom shaving a few dozen centimetres off the Deepblue’s crown.

The grand mages watching shuddered in fear at the sight. Only Richard realised that these flames seemed to burn a little cold, but that sensation was quickly cut off as a resplendent barrier encased him.

## **Appearance**

A young, bald man with extremely light pupils and no brows.

A young, bald man walked through the tear in space, grasping at the air to form a robe to cover his naked, hairless body. The robe he wore was the most common type amongst Norland’s mages, but on him it instantly granted an aura of poise and control that even most nobles lacked. The most haughty master artist would have to acknowledge that his face was almost perfect, even when it was marred by extremely light pupils and a lack of brows.

## **Plot**

gave deepblue to Richard for protection [5;83]

Unlike Voidbones, Ensio was known for his integrity.

Voidbones possessed power far beyond Richard, but it was power he could at least understand. Ensio was like a bottomless well of laws; the only time he had felt something similar was when the Tree of Life in the Forest Plane had advanced. 5;31

Sharon’s residence was covered in magic arrays that would allow one to be isolated for a certain period of time. However, Voidbones had selfishly destroyed the Mirror of a Thousand Forms, breaking these enchantments. The enemies that would only find out years later were now certainly on their way. Compared to them, the Legion of Nightmares was nothing.

Ensio also knew he would not survive this battle. However, he simply did not care. Richard wasn’t the only one of Sharon’s students who could sacrifice his life for her.

In fact, he was quite happy that he had left a mark in the Deepblue before entering the Realm of No Beginning. He had gone to search for his own origin, to find the source of his existence, but now he understood that none of it mattered.

He knew he should have been confused, perhaps even scared. However, he couldn’t find any words to express his current feelings. A seemingly endless time spent wandering the void had forced him to make friends with himself, but in such a crucial time all he could do was laugh.

Ensio remained standing atop the Deepblue, raising his head to look towards the battle that had just taken place. There was an odd emptiness in his eyes, but also satisfaction. He had done all that he could, fulfilling his glorious destiny.

He looked down at himself, realising that he was slowly fading away. The Deepblue under him turned dim, all colour washing out from the world before it crumbled apart. It was then that he realised he was looking at a memory, a mere shadow of what he had left behind.

*This was the path to the origin of everything.*

“Richard… Why do I have to be a hero? Go, the future is yours to carve…” he murmured as he slowly faded away. 5;32

### **Wounded**

Here’s some advice: if you truly plan to become a fearsome force, don’t rely on the support of others. You have to learn to analyse the laws you come across in the future yourself, and spacetime laws are amongst the most powerful you will meet. Don’t give up on studying those fields just because you have a priestess by your side.

Of course, you don’t see it yet,” Ensio said with a laugh, “Spend an eternity stuck without sight nor touch, then you’ll understand just how beautiful this place is. Those days in the Deepblue are what I cherish the most.

“Now… “ He directed his gaze back to Richard, “I know your relationship with Master is special, and you would do anything for her. But how much do you even know about her? Do you know what race she belongs to? Do you know why she established the Deepblue? Do you know the true significance of this place? Do you know of her enemies? Do you know of the real danger she faces?” 5;82

Alright, I have to leave. Being able to look at the beautiful bay truly is a blessing!” He stood up and looked over the Deepblue and Floe Bay once more before directly tearing space apart and stepping away.

Richard didn’t have the opportunity to witness Ensio’s arrival, so he was awed by the way the youth left. *Even on the verge of death, he was utterly calm and could traverse the void!*

### **Volume 8**

Ensio slowly opened his eyes, his expression turning gloomy; rough times were in store. He even started considering leaving Norland as quickly as he could. However, considering everything that had happened ever since Blackgold had summoned him back, he had to admit it was a special experience. He had been prepared to lose all his progress in the **Land of No Beginning** when he returned, but not only had he maintained his realm but he was also making breakthroughs in his comprehension of laws.
