Gepard sighed softly, running a hand through his hair.

"Damnit... the trail's gone cold again-" He trailed off as he glanced up in surprise, noting the stranger.

"Ah, hello there."

Gepard had been patrolling, coming across a stranger in the snow.

"Hm, I've never seen you before..."

"Oh?" Gepard raised a brow

"Music can be good for morale, yes..."

The Silvermane Captain blinked slowly as he stared down at the youthful looking Bard.

"Huh? Did you need something?"

-Thus, Gepard would grow to accept his new changes without too much drama and even was able to use them to better aid him in the fight against the Fragmentum.

-His senses (especially sight, hearing and smell) and flexibility had also increased, as did his physical stamina and strength.

-Gepard's changes seemed to be permanent but were found to have no ill effect on him.

-Looking into the mirror, he found some slight changes to his form and body- His fangs had become sharp and pointed, and he had retractable claws.

-Even more obvious were the leopard ears and tail that he now possessed, as well as the cat-like slitted pupils in his eyes.

-Gepard had been on shift at the Museum when the device had activated, showering him in a strange golden light.

-At first, he felt like nothing had even changed, until one of the scientists pointed out that Gepard... looked different.

-During his part-time work at the Belobog Museum, they received a strange and mysterious artefact.

-Nobody knew where it came from or what it even did, but the scientists studied it intently.

-Light, flexible, and strong, while radiating a light reminiscent of auroras, this treasure was wonderful...

-This Geomarrow armour also served as a prosthetic for Gepard, something he would treasure despite the losses he suffered.

-Everything after this is canon, though with a small difference.

-Under the watchful gaze of the crowds, the Supreme Guardian presented an award to the greatest soldiers for outstanding military service.

-The young Captain quietly put on the arm armour forged out of Geomarrow.

-For more than three days and nights, the whole city reveled in a carnival with great laughter and joy.

-The celebration reached its climax at an awards ceremony for the Silvermane Guards.

-Although he came home with way fewer soldiers than he ever hoped, and as weariness sank in, he had returned home triumphant, having cemented his role as Captain of the Silvermane Guards.

-The Supreme Guardian, the leader of Belobog, arranged a grand parade to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

-Gepard would not back down. He would not run away.

-He stepped out into the fray, fighting with everything he had.

-In the onslaught, he would get his arm torn off by one of the Fragmentum monsters, but he still kept fighting until they finally turned the tide of battle upon the Fragmentum.

-One particularly harsh winter, soon after he took his new role, they were fighting hard in a ferocious and harsh battle.

-Many men were slaughtered before his eyes and Gepard was terrified.

-He had never seen such widescale slaughter before, but he remembered the promise he'd made.
