"Yhorm, old friend. I, Siegward of the Knights of Catarina, have come to uphold my promise! Let the sun shine upon this Lord of Cinder." his old friend said

'Brave, but foolish old friend.' Yhorm thought

And so, Yhorm fought against the two unkindled. Siegward found out how to truly use the storm ruler, the other ashen one as well.

They kept on hitting him over and over again. It was painful, but Yhorm knew what needed to be done. Yhorm failed to link the fire, and so, his friend must kill him.

Not long after that, Yhorm was defeated, the defender of the Profaned Capital, was now dead. He now, could rest eternally... Right?

Right after his death, a light swallowed him. He woke up in a field. He looked around in confusion. Didn't he die? Wasn't he supposed to be deas? Or was this the after life? He did not know what it was. But he knew he was alive. He got up from the ground and heard a little girl scream. He protector instincts kicked in, and so he ran from where the screams came from.

At his destination, he saw a little girl, not older than 6 years. In front of her was a woman, of sorts. Ahe looked very weird. First of, she was green with loincloths on her. Second, she had really weird tattoos and a club, she then spoke.

"Calm down little girl~. It won't hurt! I promise!"

Yhorm decide to step in. Yhorm then went behind the green woman.
The woman felt the shock wave and decided to turn around. She almost pissed herself after seeing the 25 feet tall giant.

"Boo." the giant said

Faster than lighting, she ran away from the giant. Yhorm chuckled. His eyes then locked on the girl. She was still crying, clearly scared of what happened. Yhorm got down on his knee. The girl was no more crying and raised her eyes to meet the giant's. She then spoke.

"A-ah thank y-you mister..?" the little girl asked for the giant's name

"Yhorm, call me Yhorm, little one. What are you doing here little girl? Isn't it dangerous to go out alone?" Yhorm said, trying to sound friendly the best he can

"I was j-just walking around until the     m-monster a-attacked me." the little girl said

"Well, you should go home before night comes." Yhorm spoke

"But I am lost, I don't know where to go..." the little girl says with a sad voice

'Hmmm,... Mmmm.... Ah!' Yhorm thought of something

"Why don't you hop on my hand. I think I can lift you enough to see your city." Yhorm said his idea

"G-good idea mister Yhorm!" the little girl said, with excitement

Yhorm then extends his arm and let's the girl jump on his palm. He then raises his arm high in the sky. It was so high, that the trees further away, looked like a blanket of green.

Then, the little girl saw her city's walls.

"There is it!" she said pointing to the right of Yhorm

Yhorm then walked through the forest, holding the girl up in the sky.

Yhorm arrived at the quite big city. It was a little bigger than the profaned capital.

The guards saw the giant incoming, so they began to mobilize themselfs.

At the gate Yhorm saw that the guards were really scared. Did they never saw a giant? His mind came back to the guards after one spoke.

*gulp*"U-um sir..?" the captain wanted to say, but was fast interrupted by a female voice

"Wilmarina!" a woman came from behind the guards and went straight to Yhorm

"Mommy!" the now named little girl climbed down from Yhorm's hand and ran to her mother

"Oh my little sun, where were you? Did someone done something to you?" the worried mother says

"I was attacked by a monster, but then Mister Yhorm came and saved me!" Wilmarina said

"Oh by the gods. Why did you ran off like that?!" the, now angry mother asked her daughter

"I just wanted to explore, but I got lost..." the little girl said in a sad tone

*sigh*"It's alright sweet. I am not mad." she then hugged her daughter

Getting up from the hug, her eyes met with Yhorm's and said

"Sir Yhorm, I am in debt of you for saving the high priest's and my daughter. How can I repay you?" the woman asked
