The Deaths of Fauna, Flynn and Terynon
Flynn, son of Ouranos and Juno, hiked through the forest of the wild alone. He searched for whatever game he could find in order to craft himself a pair of fur clothes and keep himself warm for the harsh upcoming winter that would befall the world in a few days. Suddenly, after spotting a doe, he stopped dead in his tracks, looking at the magnificent creature. Little did Flynn know that it was Fauna, the patron guardian of the wild, and wife of Flynn’s brother named Terynon, who he had not seen or heard of since their disagreement over cutting down the Forbidden Tree.
Flynn felt enormous guilt wanting to take the life of a female of the wild deer, but he couldn’t take any chances in letting it go, for it was the only animal suitable for his survival against the winter season. After some hesitation, Flynn drew his hunting bow, and killed Fauna.
The next day, Terynon visited Flynn the day before the upcoming winter, hoping to amend his relationship with him. As soon as he approached Flynn’s home, he spotted a hide of a big game that was strapped to a tanning rack. Terynon eyed the small white hairs that formed the symbol of the waning crescent moon; the same symbol that his wife Fauna had etched to her back, even in the form of a doe. Terynon wept and grieved for his fallen wife. Flynn spotted his brother and, concerned for his brother despite his unexpected visit, approached him. However, before Flynn could reach out to comfort him, Terynon whipped his sword out, accusing him of murdering his wife, and challenged him to a duel to the death. Flynn was reluctant to fight his brother, but as soon as Terynon lashed out and slit the side of his cheek, Flynn quickly pulled out his sword, and the two clashed.
Ouranos suddenly received a vision of his two sons clashing swords, and he urged the other gods and goddesses to join and help stop the fighting between the brothers. Riding their horses, they flew down from the Mountain of The Gods to the forest valley of the world.
However, as soon as they arrived, it was too late, for Flynn was slain. Terynon stood over the corpse of his blood brother, and wept, dropping his sword to the ground. Ouranos came to his son, Terynon, hugging and comforting him. Juno knelt down to her son’s body, she, along with the rest of the Ymir, wept for the fallen Flynn.
Out of shame for lashing his anger out on the brother he dearly loved, and fearing for his persecution at the hands of the Ymir, Terynon fled the scene and went into hiding in the Crooked Forest.
Days later, during the harsh winter that engulfed the world, the weeping warrior of the Ymir, Terynon, sat alone on the snow-covered earth at night. Then, along came the Druida faun Pan, half-Facere Elf, half-Ymir, and bastard child of Ouranos and Joro, hidden behind a weary tree, spying on the crying Ymir warrior. The sneaky trickster that he was, Pan sought to steal Terynon’s sword Dyrnwyn from the immortal warrior and use it for his own gain. Of course, he would have to come up with a plan to kill Terynon, and he figured out how. Pan picked up a mistletoe from one of the branches of the trees and approached the weeping Terynon, and told him of all that he already knew of the immortal warrior’s sorrow and misery, and promised him that he would bring his beloved brother back to him. Terynon asked this mysterious faun how he could bring his brother Flynn back.
Pan showed Terynon the mistletoe that he hid from his back and lied to him cunningly, “Bring this mistletoe to your beloved’s lying corpse. Lie it upon his chest, and make sure the thorn of the mistletoe pricks his skin. The thorn, dripping from the life and sweat of the mistletoe, will enter his blood and restore him to life.” Pan told Terynon to grab the mistletoe and take it to Flynn’s still body, but when the immortal warrior, happy and filled with hope once again for a brief moment, reached his hand out to grab the mistletoe from the trickster faun, his finger was pricked by one of the tiny thorns of the mistletoe, and in an instant, he fell back and drew his last breath. The cunning Pan laughed and danced over the corpse of the Ymir warrior before stealing his sword Dyrnwyn and running off to his cold and dark hideout.
Selene witnessed the murder from the sky, and she quickly rushed to the Ymir to tell them of Pan’s crime. As Ouranos and Juno weped over the body of their beloved son, the rest of the Ymir searched far and wide throughout the earth for the malevolent trickster. Selene, shining her light along the snowy grounds of the earth, finally found the murderer Pan, hiding in his lair beneath the trees of the Crooked Forest. The Ymir stormed into the faun-trickster's home and surrounded him. Pan tried to fend them off with the flaming sword Dyrnwyn, but they were too many for Pan, and they seized him and took him before the Chief and Chieftess of the Ymir. Enraged, Ouranos, Chief of The Ymir, spared no sympathy nor showed any mercy for the heinous creature. The Ymir tortured the faun Pan, flaying his skin and castrating him. Then, as punishment, Ouranos stabbed him with his weapon Gugnir, the Spear of Destiny, sealing Pan away within the spear.
The Ymir declared Pan’s murder of Terynon to be the final straw, and they waged war against the Facere, as well as the Druida. Known as the Wild Hunt, The Ymir committed a complete genocide upon the Facere, ensuring the race's extinction.
However, when it came to Joro and her children, the Druida, Ouranos, out of mercy, ordered for them to be sealed away instead. Joro was sealed within the Crown of Thorns, crafted by Selene and Fritz, while Moloch was sealed within his Resurrection Stone. Unfortunately, the remaining Druida, Sigyn and Ereshkigal, were never found.
With Terynon’s death avenged, the Ymir once again weped, and they held a funeral for the fallen warrior hero. As for the Spear of Destiny, the weapon that imprisoned the trickster god Pan within it, it was thrown to the sea by Ouranos, never to be used or looked upon ever again.
