Alfyn took to the streets of Joya walking quietly as he looked at all the chaos around him what with all the buildings destroyed and in disarray, in some places there were still corpses left unattained together with all their insides now being on the outside. War was disgusting to him, he was saddened to see such a sight, yes the united forces had won the war and it was a time for celebration but he felt he had to weep for all the souls, lost innocent or not.

He was on his way to meet with his partner and together participate in the restoration but before that he made a quick stop. Seeing a child wandering the streets all by herself he approached her and inquired about her parents, her response was followed by a slightly audible gasp from Alfyn as the girl had lost them both in the war. He composed himself asking her about other relatives afterwards with a single negative nod being the answer. His heart almost broke, he kneeled before her and asked her if there was something he could do for her, aside from taking her to a place where they would care for her which would be his immediate next step.

The girl replied that she and her mom would pick flowers and decorate their house before the war but now she could hardly find any and she wasn't allowed to venture further from home. With a tear rolling down his cheek Alfyn's eyes glowed a bright pinkish purple as he touched the charred soil, the girl's eyes followed his movement as she awaited for the result. "Bloom" he said in an ethereal tone that echoed, the girl took her eyes off his hand and looked at the boy in confusion, she didn't know that word or where it came from but Alfyn said nothing more only raised his hand from the soil as a flower began to grow and bloomed into a beautiful white camellia much to the girl's amazement. He had picked this color to honor her parents as he read that for this country white was the color of the departed among other meanings like the purity of this little person in front of him that had to go through such trauma and all he could do to help was offer her a flower.

Alfyn offered it to her as a gift after enchanting it to slow its withering period so she could keep it as long as possible, afterwards he offered his hand and took her to a shelter where they would provide care for children that lost their families during the war. While on their way there the girl inquired about the word he said and the language he used, Alfyn decided to reveal his nature to the girl although he still didn't have his wings he convinced her that faefolk still roamed the land. The girl squealed from joy as her mother would read to her legends of fair maidens and men with beautiful features that would sometimes appear and help those in need. Alfyn chuckled at her enthusiasm and story and added that they had forgotten to include mischievous and chaotic, but he kept that line for himself.

Once they made it to the shelter the boy had a conversation with the person in charge making sure to let him know that he would be coming back to check on the little girl. He gave her a small pat on her head trying not to mess her beautiful ebony hair, with a look in her big brown eyes he told her that he would come to visit soon and to hold on to that flower for him. The girl nodded and thanked him for the flower as Alfyn stood up and left with a bittersweet smile on his lips. His next destination was the meeting spot where he would find out his partner in the restoration extending a warm greeting and introducing himself to them before getting to work.

Alfyn was happily surprised to see Aldo was one of his partners, the man didn't say much but he certainly had his work mojo going and judging from the appearance of the woman beside him she meant business as well. Intimidating as she might look with the mask covering half her face and the warnings of danger Alfyn got from her aura he knew that people could have two sides and there was always a reason why they mostly prefer one of them. The mage addressed the issue of water with his two partners, after the war, the death, the corruption, the technology used and its discharges the land was suffering and with it the water sources. The fae could feel like the water was almost screaming to him in pain, he still hadn't figured out what that fairy had put inside his body all those months ago but his connection to water had been growing stronger.

He looked at Anna and asked if she was a scientist just like Aldo after all people say that birds of a feather flock together. He waited for her answer before asking the help of both to study the water sources in the area, he then said that purifying would be easy but he had to know the cause and just how contaminated it was at each different area so they could maybe avert a situation where the people would need help with that again. He then proposed as the next step to look at agriculture, people would be moved so the housing didn't matter but the land had to heal and people had to eat or they would starve. His bond with nature, due to his nature magic could also provide help there and seeing how competent his partners were he wanted to make full use of their collective knowledge to help the people, is what he said to both of them. Of course if they had a different plan and their own ideas of how to help he would listen carefully and consider them.
