Radahn Festival

Miquella has ADHD, in the sense that yes, he has the wisdom and intelligence of the gods, but with a flaw: considering his curse is eternal youth, let's just say he's easily distracted by a toy, until he realizes it himself and gets frustrated.

Freyja is a formidable warrior, pragmatic, loyal, and with a deep sense of duty. Unlike other followers of Miquella who act blinded by fanaticism or mind control, she demonstrates an analytical and calculating mind once the enchantment of the Great Rune is broken.
• Battle Spirit: Values ​​strength and honor in combat above all else. Misses the war days under General Radahn.
• Unconditional gratitude: Her loyalty to Miquella does not stem from manipulation, but from a real and unwavering gratitude because the god saved her life when she was condemned.
• Acceptance of fate: He does not hold a grudge against his opponents; he sees the final confrontation as the natural result of defending the cause he chose.

🛡️ Appearance

Freyja is an imposing warrior who stands out for her heavy armor and battle-hardened features.
• The Face: His face is marked by a large scar on the right side, a physical reminder of the aftermath of the red rot on the battlefield of Caelid. He has red hair and a stern expression.
• Freyja's Armor: She wears a set of golden brass armor adorned with lion motifs, the symbol of Radahn's armies. The helmet partially exposes her face, and the top is crowned by a striking mane of red hair, earning her the nickname "Red-Mane."
• Armament: He wields Freyja's Greatsword, an oversized weapon with a curved blade designed for brutal cuts, and protects himself with the Golden Lion Shield.

Freyja served with pride in the Red Mane Warriors' army under General Radahn himself. During the legendary and brutal battle at Caelid against Malenia, the Sword of Miquella, Freyja fought on the front lines.

Freyja is the absolute definition of an unfiltered warrior. While others are minding their own business, measuring their words, or on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Freyja simply exists for three things: the glory of battle, barbecue, and unconditional loyalty to General Radahn (and by extension, camaraderie with her brothers in arms).

Attire: White silk robes embroidered in Imperial gold thread, hastily designed to cover traces of scales on the shoulders.

Attire: The wide-topped witch's hat and the white fur cape draped over the shoulders.

Attire: Heavy armor of the Lion of Caelid, gleaming and without a trace of rot, carrying his two colossal gravity swords.

The Great Family Dinner at Leyndell
The story culminates in an attempted Grand Reconciliation Dinner in the Capital's ballroom, presided over by Marika and Rennala. With Morgott and Mohg's horns trimmed for the occasion, the tension is palpable.
Rennala and Marika exchange icy glances from opposite ends of the table.
Godwyn tries to behave, but every time he speaks he lets out a subtle and unmistakable scent of sea breeze and fish, allowing Rennala to make sarcastic comments about the "Golden Tree's new menu".
Radagon remains absolutely silent, eating slowly, knowing that any words will trigger an even worse disaster.

The Banquet at Fort Redmane
The group moves inside the fort for the celebration:
Radahn and Gaius: They drink beer and eat roast beef on the terrace while watching Leonard (Radahn's well-fed, plump, and "flabby" horse) play tail-chasing with Gaius' giant boar.
Malenia: Acts like the long-suffering older sister, dragging Miquella by the robe while he throws tantrums and insists between courses that Radahn be her king consort.
The Followers of the Cross: They had to intervene to force Leda to calm down and take her sword away. Leda spends the banquet on the verge of a nervous breakdown, staring at Miquella flirting with Radahn and wondering to herself, "Why is she winking at him so much? Why is everyone so calm? Hey... where's my sword?" Freyja drinks heavily with Jerren, Moore hands out sweets, and Thiollier sleeps on his goblet.

The "Consort Testing" and the Collapse in the Mane
Before the banquet, Miquella tries to convince Radahn to test the "Consort mechanic" as if it were a combat stat boost ("your attacks will have holy area damage and Pillars of Light"). Miquella climbs onto Radahn's shoulders for the trial:
The Detachment: Radahn enters "combat mode" at maximum speed. The roar of the wind and explosions prevent him from hearing anything.
The Panic: Miquella loses all her divine solemnity. She clings to Radahn's neck like a terrified koala, screaming uncontrollably: "SLOWER, RADAHN! STOP! I'M GOING TO FALL!"
The Collapse: After 25 minutes of kinetic spins at 100 km/h, the mystical exhaustion of invoking holy light, combined with the soft, fluffy warmth of Radahn's red mane, acts like the best sleeping pill in the world. Miquella collapses, completely knocked out and hyperventilating.
The Result: Radahn stops his combo, feels the dead weight of Miquella asleep and drooling on his armor's epaulette, and looks at Malenia with a face that says, "Was this the great divine booster?"

The Caelid Festival and the Field Test (One week later)
The 30-Minute Rematch
Miquella, Malenia, and their followers travel to Caelid. In the arena of Fort Redmane, Radahn (rejuvenated and in full strength in his original body) and Malenia (sporting a new prosthetic shoulder) engage in a 30-minute practice duel without Red Rot, filled with kinetic leaps and bursts of violet light.

Synthetic Restructuring in Raya Lucaria
At the Liurnia Academy, Sellen is once again imprisoned in the dungeons following her failed coup attempt. Jerren tracks down the crystal cores of the primordial masters Lusat and Azur, and using Seluvis's technical expertise, they fabricate puppet vessels identical to their original bodies. Lusat and Azur are "reincarnated" in these synthetic vessels and remain under a form of controlled custody/exile within the Academy's grounds.

Fia and Lionel: Fia is rendered completely obsolete and unemployed as a "Death's Companion." She sits in a corner of the drawing room, processing with disillusionment that her "Lord" is just an ordinary fellow complaining about the smell of seafood, while she waits for Sir Lionel to come and fetch her in his carriage to extricate her from the administrative mess.
2. Parallel Movements: The Dynasty and the Academy
Peace in the Depths (Mohgwyn Dynasty)
While chaos reigns on the surface, Mohg recovers from his injuries in his underground palace. Free from outside manipulation and Marika's scorn, Mohg finds a peace he never knew in Leyndell. He also trims the horn that covered his left eye, restoring his full vision.
Sir Ansbach celebrates with relief and elegance his master's mental clarity.
Varré dramatically crawls on the floor, shouting for forgiveness for the logistical disaster.
Okina silently cleans his katana, leaning against a column, ignoring the spectacle.
Mohg understands that he doesn't need the approval of the Golden Tree; he already has a true chosen family.

The Tension Between Mothers and Custodial Bodies
Around the altar, the family scene is a powder keg:
Marika: Secluded and on the verge of emotional collapse, she is torn between the desire to run and hug her resurrected firstborn and the contained rage against Ranni and Rennala.
Radagon: Sitting two chairs away, he maintains a deathly silence while discreetly applying an ice pack to his jaw after the legendary slap Rennala gave him in Liurnia for abandoning the family.
Morgott: He observes the scene from the shadows of the hall with his arms crossed, muttering rage and grumbling about his mother's eternal and unwavering preference for the "golden boy." Even so, to keep the peace and avoid driving his mother mad, he agreed to subtly trim the tips of the horns on his forehead to improve his eyesight and look more presentable.
Fortissax and Lansseax: Tension explodes when the Elder Dragon Fortissax bursts in, euphoric and furious, barely restrained by Lansseax (in his human form, dragged along the ground). Fortissax screams in his best friend's face, calling him "fish head" and berating him for letting himself be turned into a fish after all the effort he made entering his dream to save him.
Fia and Lionel: Fia is rendered completely obsolete and unemployed as a "Death's Companion." She sits in a corner of the drawing room, processing with disillusionment that her "Lord" is just an ordinary fellow complaining about the smell of seafood, while she waits for Sir Lionel to come and fetch her in his carriage to extricate her from the administrative mess.

The Chaotic Meeting in Leyndell (One week before Caelid)
The Awakening of El Dorado
In the grand royal hall of the Capital, the kingdom's solemnity crumbles completely. Through an eclipse ritual orchestrated by Ranni (moon magic) and Miquella (energy of the Hieratic Tree), Godwyn the Golden finally reclaims his soul.
However, instead of rising with a poetic or divine speech, Godwyn awakens on the floor, lying on his back, trembling with indignation. Raising an arm, his accusing index finger pointed directly at Ranni, he utters his first grumbling complaint: grumbling about the horrendous smell of seafood and how his body had mutated into a "merman" during his time in the Underworld. Ranni, with her four arms crossed, meets his gaze with absolute coldness, her posture one of "I regret nothing."
