Midnight was approaching. Gödel was outside his hut, and had already prepared everything for the trip. Soon his friend would be there with some unknown people. The night was cold and Gödel was strategically thinking about how to defeat every creature he encountered without using too many resources. At that moment, a huge gray wolf appears before Gödel. It belonged to the race of giant wolves from the north region of the continent.

"Hey, Fenriz! Come here friend!" Gödel throws a piece of dried meat to the wolf and it catches it in the air. "Have you patrolled the surroundings?" The wolf looks at Gödel.

"Very well! Let's wait here a little longer." The wolf sits next to the Vice Commander who mends a half-sided conversation. "You know Fenriz, when I found you when you were an abandoned and injured pup I never thought we would go through so much together." Fenriz looks at Gödel with expressive eyes. The wolf seemed to understand the young man's words.

"You and Hilbert have always been by my side." Gödel looks at the sky with a nostalgic look and continues to speak. "I think this must be the closest to what they call family, right?" The wolf continues to look at the ranger. "And of course Kay has always been on our side, isn't it, buddy?" Fenriz emits a bark. The young man continues to speak to the wolf.

"She adopted us when I was a kid lost in the forest and shared the deer meat with you, that we hunted together. We always escaped monsters and strong beasts, but we always defeated the weak ones." the giant wolf also starts to stare at the moons.

"I was very young and when I fled to the forest to escape my father's violence, I never met him again. Somehow I can't remember my parent faces anymore." Gödel looks at the grass and continues to speak. "All I felt was fear, fury and hunger. When we defeated those rangers of our brigade, Kay came to meet us. Do you remember that day?" The wolf blinks while looking at Gödel. "She was walking so sweet with her black hair, that silk dress and that food basket. Her perfume was so soft. We always expected her to show up with the basket until one day we followed her and I think that, from that day on, we were completely tamed." Fenriz stare at the moons again and Gödel proceeds to speak.

"I didn't want to have to take you to such a dangerous place, but I also wouldn't want to go there without you by my side." Gödel strokes the wolf's head.

A few moments later, Fenriz emits an alert bark. It was Hilbert who appeared with three other people on horseback, all wearing the golden armor of the Eagles Brigade with hooded cloaks. They approached the old oak while Gödel and Fenriz also came closer to the tree. As Hilbert got off his horse the huge wolf jumped towards the prince, knocking him down and licking him.

"Fenriz, you big dog! You missed me, didn't you? I missed you too" Hilbert strokes the wolf and wipes the drool from his face as he gets up. The horses retreat a little before the presence of the wolf, after all he was bigger than the horses themselves and had a frightening presence, but they are restrained by their riders.

"Well done Gödel! I think you already got the other team member I asked for." Hilbert looks at the wolf with a smile on his face.

"I didn't want to have to take it to such a dangerous place." Gödel looks sadly at the huge wolf. It didn't even look like it was a huge knife sharped-fanged beast.

"He'll be fine, don't worry my friend." says the prince.

"So, who are those who accompany you? The smell of one of them is not strange to me." answers the ranger with a doubtful face.

"Let me introduce our fellow travelers. Hilbert looks at the hooded horsemen as they remove their helmets. "The one on my right is Henry von Leon, a very exceptional warrior with the long spear." The strong and tall blond short haired man waves at Gödel. Leon had a huge scar on his face and a serious countenance.
