Arthur and Javier, tasked with scouting together, discovered an O'Driscoll camp during their exploration. Acting swiftly, they eliminated all enemies. After bidding farewell, Arthur returned to camp, while Javier chose to linger with Boaz, his beloved horse.

Unexpectedly, the camp still harbored vengeful enemies who ambushed Javier as he prepared to depart. Boaz, startled, threw him off, leaving Javier to face at least six adversaries alone. Despite the odds, he emerged victorious but not unscathed. The fall from his horse left his back sore, and he had been shot and battered during the chaotic fight.

Now, leaning against a wooden crate, Javier grimaced in agony. With no horse to transport him, he felt hopeless and helpless, slowly bleeding out from his injuries. But then, suddenly, a winged figure materialized in front of him. Javier struggled to focus his blurry vision and thought he might be hallucinating. However, the presence of the humanoid figure felt too real to be an illusion. "W-What?" he muttered, looking up to examine the mysterious being.
