”Achoo~~ ” a villager of Mindoro sat with Gus beside him guarding the shrine on the hill with a campfire. Gus is staring at the campfire while reminiscing Ares's words.
”Gus, knock that look off your face already, brother. Just because Ares didn't take you to war, you have been staring at the fire for a long time. It's creeping me out. Anyway, why would we have to guard this shrine at night too? We only have a tent here and it's too cold.” A villager complained while getting impatient.
”We can't help it. The other day when Ares and his friends visited the shrines on each of these hills, they told us that our village will be in grave danger if a foreigner is to find about these shrines. So we need to guard it at night too. We shouldn't let anyone who is not from our village to approach these shrines.” Gus replied to the villagers with a serious look on his face
”Ehh, but these shrines are in bad shape, I wonder who would want these stupid shrines. And why are those infants from that house at the foot of this hill crying all night??? I can hear them from here. Gosh, feed them something, stupid parents” The villager mumbles grumpily.
”You heard what Ares said, there is some energy flow and oscillation here. I didn't understand what they said, but it must be important. I have never seen Ares that surprised, so we better do our jobs correctly.” Gus told the villager patiently.

Gus had been ordered to guard the village and he was carrying his job out well.
*At caracus*
The war however, didn't seem to happen any time soon, no enemy was showing up. All of the barricades and shields had come down. The whole army is in deep sleep, while villagers from Mindoro are guarding the sleeping warriors of Caracus.
”Why did you accept to guard these people voluntarily Edward? We could go back to let our chief know.” A villager asks Edward.
”It can't be helped. They have been carrying barricades and heavy armor all day. And they're hurt from defending their village already. Let us be the guards and I have sent 5 messengers back to Mindoro to relay what happened here. If this is how it will be and the enemy doesn't show up. We can go back to our village and live peacefully.”” Edward replies to the villagers.
”Oh right, how old are your two daughters now?” The villager asks brings up about Edward's daughters.
”They're two years old now, they never go to sleep without me and cry a lot if I come home late. Hope they're not giving trouble to their mother.” Edward smiled slightly to himself as he recalled his daughters who would call out to him happily each time he was home from work.
In Mindoro,
”Ahhh, calm down, daddy will be here by tomorrow. Please calm down the whole village will get mad at us for not letting them sleep” Edward's wife, placed at the foot of a hill near the shrine, tried her best to calm her crying children, while she herself was crying inside, worried about her husband.
”Man, these kids are never going to sleepppp” The villager guarding with Gus, yelled out loudly with frustration.
