Illuhen

That morning was Lohen’s birthday aka April 3rd.

Illuga woke up early to prepare for one last mission to Piramida to fight off the last of the Wild Hunt. He wrote a note to Lohen: “Happy Birthday Lohen! I’ll be gone till evening due to a mission in Piramida. Once I’m back, we will celebrate.”

However, that night, Illuga didn’t come back. The Knights of Favonius called Lohen to come over to the site where the Wild Hunt have gathered.

To his horror, he saw a now Wild Hunt version of Illuga. Out of his now corrupted lantern, Aiden, Illuga’s bird companion zipped through the chaos to Lohen, tears in its eyes.

Lohen: “I-Illuga?”

Illuga stood up sluggishly, his body tinted with the infamous purple of the Wild Hunt. His hand still holding his lantern before turning to Lohen and speaking in an almost faded version of his voice

Illuga: “Spar with me? One last time?”

In Lohen’s thoughts, he spiralled. He doesn’t remember that any Wild Hunt could talk. “What do I do?”
