Virion Eralith/Synopsis

## Season 1

Virion arrived at the teleportation gate along with Alduin and Merial happy to have his missing granddaughter returned and surprised to see her accompanied by a human boy named Arthur Leywin. While Arthur recounted his journey with Tessia, Virion took an immediate interest in Arthur for his capabilities as a mage and the powerful Beast Will that resides in him. Virion even went as far as to use his authority, when an elf soldier attempted to cut down Arthur.

Wanting to test Arthur’s skills, Virion surprise attacked Arthur with a toy knife, while he was playing with Tessia. Even though he rushed straight at him, Arthur managed to block Virion. Following this, Virion tossed a wooden sword to Arthur in order to spar with him. While at first taken aback by the sudden turn of events, Arthur wasted no time and charged at Virion, though the former king proved to be far stronger than Arthur expected. Nevertheless, despite Virion initially having the upper hand, Arthur ultimately managed to catch Virion off guard and strike Virion’s forehead.

Virion commended Arthur for his abilities and offered Arthur the opportunity to remain in Elenoir and become Virion’s first disciple. Arthur at first declined as he believed he would not be welcomed in Elenoir due to being a human, but Virion assured Arthur that no one will object to his presence so long as he is under Virion’s tutelage. Arthur again refused as he wanted to return to see his parents again in Sapin, but Virion offered him a chance to speak with his parents.

Virion then has a passing maid take Tessia to bed so as to talk to Arthur in private. Virion explains that he sensed the Beast Will inside of Arthur and correctly deduced that Arthur had been experiencing bouts of pain. Virion continues to explain that the Beast Will inside Arthur is too powerful for his body to handle and should it go without proper control he could die. As a result, Arthur agrees to become Virion’s disciple.

The next day Virion takes Arthur and Tessia with him in order to meet his Diviner Acquaintance Rinia Darcassan. While on their way, Tessia passed out on Arthur’s shoulder as she had not slept the other night over the excitement of Arthur staying with her. Virion formally thanked Arthur for not only saving his granddaughter, but for making Tessia happy again.

Arriving at Rinia’s residence, Virion began kicking at her door calling her an old witch. Despite their antagonistic greeting, Rinia used her clairvoyance powers to communicate with Arthur’s parents. After assuring Arthur of his parents' well-being, Arthur was officially welcomed in the Kingdom of Elenoir. Upon returning home, Virion watched over Tessia and Arthur as they explored the city, while wearing a poor disguise. Thereupon, he witnessed Arthur’s duel with the son of the Ivsaar House Feyrith Ivsaar III.

## Season 2

For the next three years, Arthur would train under Virion to assimilate the Beast Will in his core. After his granddaughter had awakened her own mana core, he began to train both Arthur and Tessia, though unlike Arthur, Virion's training with his granddaughter revolved around physical combat training. Though he never knew what kind of Beast Will Arthur received, Virion was respectful enough to not pry.

On the day Arthur was to finally assimilate the mana from his body, Virion waited for his granddaughter and his pupil to arrive at his location. Virion first sparred with his granddaughter until she was exhausted and then gave Arthur a brief lesson on mana affinity. With his assimilation finally complete, Virion ignited Arthur's mana core by inserting a large amount of his own mana, but was blown away by the force of the implosion caused by Arthur's Beast Will. Following that, Virion rushed to his pupil's side and honestly asked Arthur what beast gave it's will to him. Before passing out Arthur confessed to Virion that he was gifted this Beast Will by a dragon. While his student passed out from the strain, Virion was left hysterical over the fact that he was training an actual dragon tamer.

Once Arthur regained consciousness, Virion was the first to see Arthur, having calmed down since earlier. Virion assured Arthur that he was right to keep his Beast Will a secret, and promised not to tell anyone about his true power. Virion also revealed that Arthur's departure date had been moved to four months from then as the three Kingdoms had been collaborating in order to hold a tournament between the young mages of their kingdoms, allowing the teleportation gate linked to Sapin to open earlier for Arthur. While Arthur was happy to finally return to his family, he was concerned how Tessia would react to the news. Virion promised that he would break the news to her gently, but in the meantime Arthur should prepare himself mentally for his upcoming physical training, even promising him that Arthur will wish the next four months were over much sooner.

The next morning Virion saw Arthur accompanied not only by Tessia, but a baby dragon. He learned that the baby dragon named Sylvie had formed a bond with Arthur, nearly giving the elder a heart attack. After explaining where Sylvie had come from, Virion could only deduce that she must have hatched after Arthur fully integrated with his Beast Will. Virion also advised Arthur not to reveal Sylvie’s existence to others and to pass her off as a rare mana beast instead. With Arthur's mana fully awoken, Virion began focusing on Arthur's physical training in order to help him control the first stage of his Beast Will. Thereafter, Virion immediately transformed into his integrate phase, taking on the form of a humanoid Shadow Panther.

Virion utilized his beast will's ability to manipulate wind and sound to sneak up behind Arthur, who immediately surrendered their spar knowing he was incapable of keeping up with Virion's enhanced speed, as well as the fact that his shadow form was "trauma inducing", a remark that Virion found amusing. Virion admits that the form has it’s fair bit of drawbacks as it takes a great amount of mana to control. Moreover, he also mentioned the fact that he is only able to withstand the form for a short amount of time. Afterwards, while believing that he is ready, Virion began training Arthur in the same manner as Tessia. Thanks to Virion's guidance, Arthur was not only able to activate the first stage of his Dragon Will, but also found a way to conceal the presence of his Beast Will. Furthermore, during his training Arthur also managed to unlock all the four Elements as well as two of their deviants, Lightning and Ice.

Four months later, Virion and Tessia were present to see Arthur off before he departed for Xyrus City. Virion bid his pupil goodbye, but not before giving Arthur a special compass to help him navigate the Elshire Forest if he ever returned to Elenoir, but jokingly told him that if it didn't work, he could always find another princess to guide him, which infuriated Tessia to the point that she started to pull her grandfather's beard out of embarrassment.

In the months after Arthur's departure, Virion would continue to train Tessia, but noticed how badly the absence of Arthur affected her. Sometime later, Virion would converse with his old friend Cynthia Goodsky, who bragged about finding a quadra-elemental mage that would attend her school soon, unaware that the mage in question was Virion's disciple. Afterwards, Virion barged into Tessia's room to tell her this, before he noticed that Tessia was using the orb again, which Rinia gave to her to see Arthur. Thereafter, Virion playfully teases her over spying on Arthur, while also declaring him his future grandson-in-law, which caused an embarrassed Tessia to throw her pillows at her grandfather, while she screamed at him to leave her alone.

As Virion, however, has come with good news, he stays, while telling her that she would have the chance to see Arthur again, if she attended the same school as him at Xyrus Academy. Her parents entered the room to reaffirm Virion’s words as Xyrus Academy would be integrating students from all the three Kingdoms to further unite the people of Dicathen. As Tessia had an eager smile across her face, Virion was delighted to see his granddaughter happy once again.
