Mountain, meet Endbringer | Glowfic Constellation

Hm. Is the entire planet as lawless? Well, Fate and Fates are inexact at the best of times. Ah well.

He deposits Jua and her goons a few miles away from his forest with a little food and water. He tailors the forest to look more menacing, expands it to the limits of his perception (only another mile or so), and places a variety of carefully-tailored chemical defenses that won't survive outside its bounds. He goes back to using most of his natural ability for seeing fate as a Centaur to try and figure out why most magic won't work here. It's vague, as usual, but he'll unlock this interesting puzzle sooner or later.

A few hours later, he'll sense many fires starting at the edges of his forest.

Well, that will trigger the foaming beans, which will slow the fires down at minimum.

He flies for the edge and makes a quick circuit, smothering sections of fire with a bounty of more foaming beans as he goes. Is it Jua again?

Yes, it is, and the fires are being caused by explosions! Kinda hard to contain.

She is also not alone. Four men, all of them fairly nimble-looking and capable of running preternaturally fast, are carrying various glowing items from Jua to other parts of the forest.

Killing is ugly. Explosions are uglier. POISONOUS FUMES FOR EVERYONE, delivered by alarming-looking flowers suddenly springing up near people and emitting white-orange smoke.

Yikes. This guy's got range, damnable capes. The four speedsters start running away, one of them stopping to grab Jua, but very soon they all start losing balance and fall on the ground, writhing in pain.

Neurotoxin will do that to you.

He gives them each some more, and grows plants through several important body parts, ending it relatively quickly. Gruesome. Unpleasant and disgusting. But pacifism simply wasn't working.

He doesn't try to put out the fires. Too hot and fierce for foaming beans by now. He retrieves some things from the center and flies around, spreading what he recognized as local forage and crops, until it's likely to have burned out.

From then on whenever someone recognizably more than human visits he attempts to scare them away just once, and repeats the poison trick if that doesn't work.

One short, scrawny man comes to visit, not visibly superhuman or anything, accompanied by someone who might be a body guard, but is certainly not as large as Jua's pals were.

He can be met by a tree-golem covered in spikes. "Who is you?"

"I am Empower," he replies in the same language. "Who are you, and what did you do with Sun?"

"I am Tenno. She attacked me. She is dead. Leave or you will die too."

"Will you not take her place?"

"...No understand. Little talk." He says a long sentence in his own language to emphasize the point.

...okay. "What do you want?"

"Learn to talk. No fire. Other things, but no words."

The man spends a few seconds thinking, then says, "I could help."

"Send to talk to me, is learn. Give food." The language barrier might impede negotiations, here.

He thinks he got it anyway, and he nods. "I will send someone."

"Good. I will be here."

So the man turns around and starts leaving, and soon his normal-looking bodyguard follows.

And Tenno goes back to repairing his forest. Ironwood trees to resist fire and explosions, so-called bloodroot thorns, carnivorous flowers, all the chemical defenses from before and then some, guessing at the right conditions to attract local insects. It's a lot of effort, actually, and doesn't look very nice but he should have gone all out earlier.

Things might even be looking properly interesting now, if that guy keeps his promise.

He does! Soon someone else comes along, followed by a body guard. That someone looks sad and subdued, not exactly like they want to be here.

Tenno will just have to act as polite and friendly as he can, then. He greets them both, in person, at the edge of the forest, and introduces himself, and offers fruit.

The bodyguard tells the other person something, and the other person says, "Thank you," meekly, and takes the fruit. She stares at it, not eating, until the bodyguard pokes her with a finger and says something too fast for Tenno to understand.
