Three days passed after Green left Allyia, although bit worried for her safety Green continues heading east of Leviathan. Green arrived at a big green field with colorful flowers everywhere. Then, he noticed another wolf, similar to the one he saw before. The wolf shortly after noticed Green. A moment of silence and peace passed between them. Green kneels, and holds his arm towards the wolf, trying to make peace with the beast.
These wolves are usually calm and one can easily become friends with it.
It slowly came closer, head down, tail high, alerted by Green's presence.
Green holds his position like a statue, waiting for the wolf to reach him.
The wolf is at his hand, sniffing it trying to see if Green is a threath or a friend. It looks into Green's eyes.
There's a silence for a brief moment... Green touches the fluffy beast under it's ear, petting it. The beast is closes it's eyes and leaning to Green's hand.
It sees Green is a friend, gives him his trust.
Green takes out a piece of meat wrapped in a piece of cloth and offers it to his new furred friend. It fastly starts to eat the meat and after couple of seconds there's nothing left.
"You're a hungry fella." Green laughs to himself and pets the wolf on the head.
Green starts to smell a faint smell in the air. He looks up into the sky and sees the gray clouds above him.
"It's gonna rain soon. How about we hunker down somewhere buddy?"
Green gets up and starts looking for a place to rest. The near forest should give them a good place to set up a small camp. The the big trees with hard and strong branches connecting from tree to tree should keep the rain away with it's leaf roof.

Green sets up a campfire and sets the wood within ablaze as the wolf curiously watches. He puts some of the meat he had left above the fire and the remains gave to the wolf.
The wolf sat near Green and drifted off to sleep. "Rest up pal." Green said and put his hand on the wolf. Green slowly became tired and also fell asleep soon after..

The next day. Green woke up and saw that the wolf was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it went hunting or to find some water.
"I hope i get to see him again.(sigh) I guess i better keep moving. Maybe he'll pick up my scent." Green said his thoughts out loud.
The vast field was covered in a rainy blanket and the air still filled with the smell of the rain.
Green slowly started walking south, looking around enjoying the sweet silence of nature.

Few hours pass and Green found himself near a wide river. For Green, this would be almost impossible to cross unless he wasn't able to dash across the river.. Every Sentinel is able to dash thanks to their wings. Their wings are invisible and only can be seen if the person wishes it. They also help travel at supersonic speeds only leaving a flash of light behind them.
When Green dashes across the river he looks around and notices a bridge on his right. "That was wasted.." Green comments with an bummed look on his face.
The bridge was connecting two roads so Green decided to follow the path and see where it leads. Green felt a feeling of relief and safety knowing he's approaching civilization. Perhaps this the road to Harrgrym?

15 minutes pass and Green all of a sudden heard someone yelling. It sounds like someone's in trouble.
Green quickly starts following the close screams.
He notices the man screaming in agony..
"Hello? What's going on?" Green asks.
"I- there's something.. it g-ot inside me! Like a giant purple slug! I- I'm bleeding.. You gotta help me!" The man answered in a terrified tone.
"Alright alright! Calm down let me have a look."
Green comes closer and sees a big bleeding hole on the man's hip with some strange purple goo coming out too.
"Is there a place somewhere where we can bring you?"
"I can feel it moving inside me! I... Aaahhhrgh!"
"Sir ca-"
The man screaming drops to the ground screaming and all of a sudden his eyes start glowing purple and his chests bursts open and giant claws come out. The man's terrified screams turn into a terrific high pitch scream.
Green falls to the ground shocked and tries to get up as fast as possible.
Drawing out his sword he prepares to fight the horrific creature that stands tall infront of him.
The disgusting, slimy body shows itself out of the man's chest, now nothing but just useless weight.
It slashes it's claws screeching and yelling angrily.
"Well.. Alliya isn't going to be happy about this!" The monstrosity notices Green and charges with it's claws trying to tear Green apart.
Green phases to the left near a tree. Perhaps he could make the beast ram into the tree and maybe confuse it for a second, giving him a chance to strike.The beast runs fast, claws in the air preparing to impale it's pray.
Waiting for the right moment, Green slides under the beast's claws, as it slams itself into the tree, entangled between the branches. A terrific screech comes out, and Green behind the beast, jumps on it's back striking the beast with his enflamed sword right through it's body.
A purple goo, most probably it's blood comes filles the wound. The beast enraged flings itself left to right screeching horribly, dropping Green on the ground and his sword too far from his reach.
The beast turns to him ready to strike.
But all of a sudden, a long, silver, spear strikes through it's chest and soon a rain of arrows fill the beast.
The beast screeches for it's final time and collapses to the ground next to Green. A man with a dark hood tough armor plates on the man's shoulders and chest. The hood covers a mid age man with a brown beard and a scar on his right eye. Behind was a small group of skilled archers.
"You shouldn't travel so far from your home friend. It's dangerous around here."
"In that case. I should probably head back to Leviathan eh?"
"Leviathan?" The man looks down on Green's left and notices his sword.
"Ah. I see, We've caught ourselves a Guardian hah!"
"How did you know?"
"I recognize that sword anywhere. Only the Guardian can use such a mighty and beautiful weapon. I'm Rhyn Gartyo, at your service."
"Rhyn? I've heard about you from someone. Quite the leader you are."
"You have? Has it been from some scientist by any chance?"
"Indeed Allyia. Looking for her?"
"I'm glad to hear she's fine. But we better get to her soon. It's a dangerous place so we better get her out of wherever she is. I'm guessing you know where she is?'
"I do. Should I lead you there?"
"I'd appreciate that. We can have a conversation along the way."
"Alright let's go."

Green looks at the horrific beast for the last time.
"Hey wait. I'll cut one of the claws for Alliya. Maybe she can get something out of it."
"Sounds good."

Green,Rhyn and his team walk back the way Green came to reach Alliya.
"So. How's it in Leviathan? It's a pretty place I've heard."
"That it is. But the pressure from the Demons is not stopping.. We're getting attacked almost every month. Too many losses. But maybe you could visit one day."
"I wouldn't mind. But we've got problems of our own and if we don't deal with them it'll be bad. Real bad."
"What's going on? I've heard some problems with outlaws but that's not the worry is it?"
"Hah no.. It's way worse than outlaws. Whose we can deal with. But whatever that we're fighting? I'm not sure. It's Sentinels, but there's something wrong with them? They wouldn't just attack us for no reason. We stick together right? They're crazed or something.. I have no idea."
"Strange... Do you think those slugs are connected with it somehow? I've seen it happen right infront of me. The man had some hole in him. Blood and purple goo coming out of it. The slug must've made his way through there and then infect him or corrupt him."
"Poor man. He didn't deserve that fate. Worse than death.."
"True.."
"Well anyway, what about you Green? What's the Guardian doing all the way out here? I'm guessing you're not here to help by any chance heh."
"Well. I was taking a break hoping to calm down and find solitude for a bit. And i found myself in an another war instead."
" Ah. We have a stressful life Green. We're Sentinels our purpose is to fight to protect the Multiverse. War after war. It never ends I'm afraid."
"Ain't that right. What about you Rhyn?"
"Well. I lead Harrgrym. It's tough but it's not like someone else is gonna do it. If you take away the war, everything is going well. The people are happy. I'm happy. So everything is going well."

"I'm glad to hear."
All of a sudden. The group hears a growl and a big wolf jumps out of the nearby bush.
"A wolf! Careful he's a big one!" Rhyn yells out.
"Hey wait. I know that one! Don't attack it." As Green speaks the wolf recognizes the friendly voice. It immediately starts running towards him barking happily.
"This my fella. Missed you pal."
"You've tamed that beast? Incredible."
"Yes. It's simple. Just have to earn it's trust. Let it know you're not an enemy."
"Hmm, he'd make a fine feast!"
Both Green and the wolf look at Rhyn, judging him.
"Hah! I'm joking! I wouldn't eat this magnificent wolf. Unless he's trying to kill me of course."
"I'm sure. Should we keep going?"
"Of course, let's go..."
