Raven hummed a soft quiet tune to himself as he wrote down more calculations. He was just about to figure out the proper location for the fae realm.
After several months of studying any mentions of the feywilds, and similar spots, he had then taken to raiding different death deities libraries for any knowledge of such realms.
It was found lacking in most cases, however there was a few mentions on fae, most mentioned The Seelie(Summer) and Unseelie(Winter) courts. Ruled by Titania and Mab. There was also a scant few mentions of Oberon too. They seemed to be the most prevalent of three spoken about, like some kind of deities in most books.
"Done!" Raven cheered as he stared at the seven books worth of calculations to find the location of a opening portal to the feywilds.
Months of work finally accomplished.
"Now the waiting game." Raven sighed as he slumped down on the desk he was using. His doll bodies in the room mimicked him at their desk and slumped down too.
•~~~~~•
"I've gotten a letter from Sirius recently. After his trial confirming he was innocent he was immediately placed in St Mungos to receive proper medical help. Physically he's recovering, but they said he's won't be fully mentally healed till next summer, but he did offer to take me in then." Rose babbled on, and Raven was fully listening to her as he worked on some rune sequences.
She knew he was listening, so she wasn't mad.
"That's good, a proper home and guardian to look after you, plus someone who can properly tell you of your parents having basically grown up with your dad." Raven said in response as he hummed and changed two runes for different ones.
"Yes! Should I start writing him letters back though or wait?" Rose asked and Raven raised an eyebrow at her.
"I'm not the best person to ask such a question, I'm more likely to vanish for months and not say anything, or even write a letter probably." Raven said frankly and Rose could only nod her head, because that did sound like him.
"However, if you wished to formulate a bond with Sirius Black, letters would be a good place to start." Raven finished after a moment before fully focusing on his runes again. "Now, give me two hundred fifty pushups!" Raven ordered as Rose dropped down to the ground and started doing pushups.
As a power based fighter, he figured she needed to increase her stamina. She fought by using strong moves quickly since she had the power to do so, however her physical stamina needed work despite being a demigoddess.
"Speaking of, how is your little meetings with Hestia?" Raven asked suddenly as the thought came to his mind.
"Slowly, but she's been teaching me about the true myths of my godly side of the same." Rose said and Raven nodded pleased before returning to his runes again.
•~~~~~•
"Wait what do you mean you can't come!?" Raven grumbled as he stared at Izanami who looked annoyed.
"Some idiots got into a fight, specifically Yama and Nergal tried to fight with Ereshikgal, and their three way fight lead to some destabilization of the realms of death. So I have to go repair my realm." Izanami said apologetically.
"I see, need to set a reminder to paint their whole realms pink." Raven glared at the ground hard enough for it to crack in terror.
"Very well, I will remind you of that when you return. However go easy on Ereshikgal, she's a very lonely goddess who probably was just trying to defend the few souls left in her realm." Izanami requested and Raven nodded his head, he had heard decent things about the Mesopotamia death goddess.
Maybe he'd just drop a few random souls from the other twos realm in her own, as well as paint it a little bit pink, just a little though.
"What a pain, since you're going that way, can you drop this off with Hades?" Raven asked as he held a letter out explaining his plans, because he felt if he went, he'd abandon his plans to see the feywilds, and he didn't want to spend that time tracking down another portal opening, less said about those guarding permanent portals to said realm.
"Of course." Izanami immediately understood his dilemma and took the letter, storing it away to give to Hades.

Raven hummed as he enjoyed the food prepared by the house elves for the end of year feast. The feast was much more diverse and taste better.
How and why?
Because he had snuck Shirou into the castle and threw him into the kitchen demanding he teach them to cook properly, as well as teach more meals to the elves.
He had gotten tired of leaving the castle to get some different food, it was always the same stuff, plus that pumpkin juice stuff, tasted disgusting.
"You good mate? You look almost happy!" The twins voices spoke and Raven frowned at them, faking of course. "There we go! Back to normal." They grinned before the three laughed.
Why was Raven sitting at the students table? Because fuck the rules!
"Hilarious." Raven said as he snapped his fingers for dramatic effect, but nothing seemed to happen, at least in the eyes of everyone, but meanwhile the roots of the twins hair was slowly starting to gain a new permanent color and slowly spreading out, it wouldn't take effect until tomorrow afternoon to be visible.
Suddenly a sharp cling was heard through out the hall and Raven took that moment to use a short range instant teleportation spell to return to his seat with the staff. He internally grumbled as he silently healed his leg of the pieces of the chair inside it, he was still working on properly appearing where he wants without injuring himself.
"Thank you everyone for your attention." Albus said with a smile.
"This year has been a great one, the test scores of all our students have been amongst the highest we've seen in several decades. I know some of you have been effected by the dementors, some more then others." Albus frowned for a moment.
"They have since left the castle and returned to Azkaban." Albus said, and of course those in the know also knew that that portion of them was much smaller then what arrived due to Raven who was looking innocent at the moment with a carefree smile on his face.
The students cheered happily at finally being free of those creatures.
"Now then, onto what you've all been waiting for." Albus said after he talked about a few more things. "The house cup!"
"In four place we have Gryffindor with 374 points. A valiant effort."
"In third place we have Hufflepuff with 389 points, a close lead on Gryffindor, well done Hufflepuff."
"In second place we have Ravenclaw with 423 points, well done Ravenclaw."
"In first place we have Slytherin, with 473 points, I hearby declare Slytherin as the winner this year, congratulations!" Albus clapped his hand as the banners changed the green and black motifs of the Slytherin house.
"Now before I dismiss you all for the night, I wish to say one final thing. Those of you who just joined us this year, those of you who have been with us here and those of you leaving us, remember this, help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it." Albus said with the utmost serious tone as he looked out at everyone:
Then he clapped his hands breaking the serious atmosphere of the hall.
"Now then, I wish you all a good night and a fun party. Those of you who make it to breakfast, I will see you then, those who do not, I eagerly await our next meeting." Albus said cheerfully as he sat down as students started leaving the feast.
Raven stood up and stretched as he walked off, he had a few letters to deliver.
•~~~~~•
An hour later, Raven was in his crow form soaring through the night sky at breakneck speeds. If there was any glass even miles nearby, it would have long since shattered.
•~~~~~•
Meanwhile the next morning several people awoke to find letters besides them, all had personal little details to them, but they all had the same thing in the end.
Hi there! If you're reading this it means I've run off finally. This school year has been a very chaotic ones for me, I've been forced to come to some startling conclusions about myself.
I have issues, lots and lots of issues, some stem from my lacking knowledge of my biological family, I've learnt I'm a fae, but that's only lesseoned the distress, so I'm going to the fae realm to try and properly find myself.
Until then!
Bye!
-Raven, The Fae
Signed at the bottom was a chibi him with a peace symbol and a glowing portal next to him.
Every single one of them cursed him out for not even saying goodbye in person.
Hades just sighed, but was pleased he left a note he was vanishing this time, but glad this time it was his choice to vanish.
Rose pouted and huffed as she burned down a lot of things annoyed.
The twins only cackled, they knew Raven was a free spirit.
Persephone pouted that her baby ran off again, but she was glad he'd probably be back before her return to the underworld.
Lorelei was mad she didn't get to go with him, or that he at least didn't tell her, because now she was slammed with his paperwork as well, it was a lot, but it wasn't hard to do. Just tedious and time consuming.
Minerva was grumbling up a storm that she wouldn't get to celebrate his 17th birthday with him.
Albus only laughed and couldn't wait for some stories about his trip.
Zelretch just fully cackled.
Shirou and Rin went wide eye as they read the letter and were being super dramatic.
Artoria only smiled softly, but she was slightly annoyed she wasn't going to get her date this summer, though she understood. She was holding him to another date after he returns though.
•~~~~~•
Raven grinned triumphantly as he stared at the slowly forming crack in reality, it was like glass shattering, it was like a whole new world became visible, which it basically did.
Without a second though once it was big enough, Raven flew threw the portal. The minute he went through though, he felt lighter.
He also noticed he had returned to his true form and felt a new sense of power, or perhaps it was easier to say he felt a new connection with the realm, like something lost had finally returned.
It was kind of humbling.
He took a minute to check all his powers to ensure they worked properly, his portals seemed to have been greatly enhanced as well, and he could now open and close portals into the feywilds at will even after the dimensional crack faded away.
With a pleased nod he flapped his wings and took off, slowly exploring the land and seeing the wonders that was the feywilds.
•~~~~~•
"This just doesn't make sense." Raven said aloud as he stared at an ocean, but it was upside down in the sky, exotic creatures could be seen swimming in the waters as well.
With a confused shrug he decided to just keep on moving as he turned left and kept moving forward till he eventually came upon a glowing forest, beautiful trees with small glowing lights in them like stars.
Small unknown creatures made unknown sounds as they flew around him with a weird happiness and he smiled at them and kept on moving even as they followed him for a while before going away.
"What's this?" Raven mumbled as he stared at a weird rock with some weird pattern on it, however a few moments later he recognized it as a rune, specifically a fae rune, and not one of the ones he had shoddily translated using assumptions on people's guesswork of the language.
"A guest?" A silky voice asked and Raven turned around to see a man almost in the nude except for a pair of roughed up pants. He had a decently physical conditioned body, green hair and eyes, but four ethereal green butterfly wings behind him and an ethereal tail swishing about.
Raven reacted and curiously looked at his soul slightly nudging it as the man froze, Raven also froze as he felt some kind of rule trying to impose on his words and a feral smile soon appeared on his face.
His magic softly came to the surface as he stared at the man now on the floor from the pressure of his magic.
"Hey there friend o' mine. How about you entertain my questions and maybe you can go free, with your soul safe and sound." Raven smiled as he wrapped his hand, metaphysically, around the fae's soul.
"What do you want to know friend o' mine." The fae replied after a moment.
"Let's start with some explanation on this realm yeah?" Raven's smile turned sinister as his eyes softly glowed.
•~~~~~•~~~~~•~~~~~•
The fae realm has been breached, secrets and the past are slowly coming into the light, if thats good or bad is yet to be seen.
Will our dear fae learn of his moms identity? Will he learn he's met his dear old technical father? Who knows!
Find out next on dragon bal- Denial, Blood of The Fae!
Hope you enjoyed!
Bye~
