Ivan completed his deadly training in the mountains. He concealed his severely damaged left eye, which, in its normal state, was no longer visible. He applied a black bandage to cover his face and eye, leaving only his right eye visible. Then he set off northward, towards Thorin's Forest, situated between the kingdom of Amedonia and the Troy Empire. The full map appeared, showing the Troy Empire in the center, the kingdoms of Union and Oriana to the east, the kingdoms of Belgrade and Kong to the west, and the kingdoms of Astergarde and Ford to the south.
Ivan spoke to himself: "Will I find a clue that will lead me to your other half, Yashura (the half-bird of the mythical Sura)?"
He prepared himself thoroughly and departed. At that moment, a demonic gate appeared, releasing monstrous creatures, half-monkey and half-serpent, whose appearance was terrifying. They began devouring ordinary animals, such as rabbits and deer, and even lions were not spared. An emergency alert reached the Troy Empire, and Arya Stark decided to go to the forest herself, accompanied by Nora Sutani. Ivan had found a small guild, joined it, sold some magical materials, then ate and drank. He asked the host, "Is there a cave in this forest?"
The host replied, "There isn't one, but it's a very strange forest. When an eclipse occurs and the moon meets the sun, the gates open randomly, as happened yesterday. Strange and very dangerous monsters appeared, so we called upon the Holy Heroes for help, and we are waiting."
Ivan: "I understand. Well, thank you for the information." (He gave him a gold coin as a thank you.)
Ivan approached the forest, sensing several magical auras and emitting demonic scents.
Ivan: "I understand. Intelligent monsters, and they are very good at hiding themselves."
As he prepared to fight her, he sensed a different, incredibly powerful aura, so strong that the forest trembled from its sheer force. Yes, Arya Stark arrived with Nora Sutani in a magnificent, epic scene. Arya leaped upwards, exclaiming, "Rickhawk (Heavenly Fall)!"
In a breathtaking and powerful display, several magical orbs mixed with blue lightning descended, raining down upon the monsters and annihilating them.
Evan was astonished by the legendary power of the Holy Warriors' leader and said, "Unbelievable! As expected from the Holy Warriors' leader. What insane power..." (He didn't finish his sentence.)
Arya sensed the aura, but Evan cleverly concealed his presence.
Nora: "What is it, Commander?"
Arya: "Nothing. Let's return to the Empire." (She thinks to herself: "This is strange. I felt a magical aura for a moment.") After Arya Stark left with Nora Sutani, Ivan emerged, saying, "What incredible senses! If I hadn't concealed myself so well, she would have attacked me..." (He didn't finish.) A huge magical portal appeared and pulled him inside.
