Gus is narrating the story to Faust and seems to be a witness as he explains it. And as usual, Faust is imagining himself in the place of the hero with a shiny armour and Godly powers. He fantasized himself as invincible warrior.

”The 15 yr/o boy (Gus referring to himself while narrating to Faust.) has found the wounded warrior is still alive and bought him back to the village for treatment, but the superhero Ares who taught him how to fight with sword is neither found nor his body was,  in the whole area and also same thing with his female friend Tanya. It has been a dark day in the lives of the village people.” Gus continues to narrates the story to Faust and then he snaps back from the story due to a supernatural thing occurring suddenly in his home.

Faust who seemed to be lost in the story and is reacting weirdly to what he had heard of the atrocities done by the nations to the peaceful lives of villagers. His expressions changed greatly without himself knowing and then suddenly something also seemed to be queer- wrong with the animals in the room.

There isn't a single breeze or swirl, but the clothes and hair of Faust are unsettling and clacking around. The eyes of Faust are straight blood red and flecks of green shining brightly. The animals in the house seems to be panicked and some of them even seemed to be bowing down as if they're witnessing a higher form of all living beings and some seemed to be hopping around terrified as if they sensed great fear and alarming danger coming to their direction.

Gus astonishingly doesn't seem to be in much surprise, rather the expression on his face says ”why did it appear again?” As if he has already witnessed this side of Faust before.

”FAUST!!” Gus shouts while he shook Faust violently by grabbing his shoulders to snap him back to his senses.

”Ah grandpa”, Faust snap back to reality like he has no idea of what happened just a while ago and he questions innocently, ”what happened to Ares grandpa? Tell me more.”

Gus who sighs in relief that Faust is back to normal replies back him calmly with a bold voice ”Nobody knows what happened to him, and that's all I know, go to sleep now. You have school tomorrow.”
