The Silvermane Guards recieved intel that there were fragmentum monsters located in the woods. As such, Gepard Landau, the Captain of the Silvermane Guards, decided to investigate. However.. things.. went south as... Gepard.. got lost.

"H-huh?!" Gepard's eyes widened as he felt a drop of water on his head.. then another.. All of a sudden, dark clouds started to form as rain began pouring.. It started raining heavily, and Gepard needed shelter. Fast.
