⚔ AUGUST 2ND | 2O12 ⚔xx Varian is Pulled towards an area in the woods he was traversing when he came across Lalita. The Guardian Spirit told him that she would be there to guide him, to give him information when he desired it, and to help him realize the choices he had during times of strife. She explained, however, that she could not influence his choices by any means, and that she was simply there to support him and be a confidant. They parted ways with a mutual understanding, and though Guardian Lalita is not as strong as he, Varian feels a sense of relief knowing that there is someone from his own world -- even if she is not a High Deity like him -- to request assistance from.
⚔ JULY 31ST | 2O12 ⚔xx Varian meets Razien, one of the Six's Turned while he is patrolling the roads north, tipped off by a raven that the Six were sending out parties to gain information on the King's army. Varian Soulgazed Razien after the young stallion claimed that he wanted nothing more to do with the Six, and saw he was speaking truth. Using the Call, Varian severed Razien's ties in his mind to the Six, and Razien pledged his service to the God of his own free will. Varian once more declined an Azrein who wished to put themselves in debt to him, and instead -- warily -- took up Razien's offer of friendship. He enlisted the ex-Turned to assist him with the rest of his patrol, to be bait for taking out the remaining parties; partly to test his loyalty by putting his life on the line, and partly to press the advantage it would give him over the scouting Turned.
⚔ JULY 3OTH | 2O12 ⚔xx Varian meets Yunigoni, one of his father's past acquaintances. That same night, he met Damir, who pledged to Varian an offer of service of his own free will. Varian denied it, but the stallion pressed, so eventually Varian accepted his assistance in the guise -- and sincerity -- of an offer of friendship from Damir.
⚔ JULY 29TH | 2O12 ⚔xx Varian becomes a sentient being. [ ie; is 'born'.] When he plummets from the skies, his first encounter is with Avari. He begins to fall for Avari, and realizes that he would do anything to keep her safe. When he first meets her, new to his powers, he accidentally initiates a Soulgaze. He tells her that they must move to a safe location, since allies of the Six could trace them because of the power emitted. During their travels, the two get to know each other, and after a night where Varian watched over her the entire way through, a Turned ambushed them in the Greater Herd Plains. Varian gave the Turned Azrein a chance to retreat back to the south to the Dark Herd, which it refused before attacking. The stallion mercilessly cut him down and passed Judgement on his soul, calling him to Duty in the afterlife. He successfully protected Avari. However, he got hurt in the process by the Turned, and received a nasty gash across his flanks and ribs.
