"Ah Yang!! It's been a long time". Gus says to the old Yang, who now has lost one of his arm during the big war which have taken place long ago and it left him almost nothing more than a dead body as he was desperately trying to catch his last breathe, but then he was miraculously saved at the last minute by Gus. If Gus didn't see Yang breathing in between the dead bodies, he would have definitely died or buried alive. But thanks to Gus, Yang made it back to the village. He lost an arm, but Yang who was always courageous never let that put him down because after all he still got his lover and so he later chose to stay at Mindoro just for Tisha.
Yang later, with his power and knowledge of outer world taught the people of Mindoro about some of the technology used in their times and taught them how to fight soon he was made the chief of the village after Mars passed away, he married Tisha and now Tim is the grandson of Yang Yi Tian and Tisha.
Gus and Yang reminisce their past and spend their time together until evening and goes to school together to pick up their beloved grandsons.
After coming home, Faust leaves for the woods with Bella and comes home with a wooden stick. He pretends to be a swordsman as he was inspired by his grandpa's story and he kept practicing by hitting trees as if he was slashing it like how Ares did.
Gus takes a look at Faust and giggles to himself seeing the silly swordplay of Faust.
"Faust, if you want to become a real swordsman you need to have a strong body, so increase ur stamina rather than swinging sword from the start." Gus gives an advice to Faust sensing his determination.
"Ohhhhhh grandpa, you perhaps know how to become a swordsman? Teach me grandpa please teach meeee!" Faust begs Gus with puppy eyes to teach him how to become a swordsman, pleadingly.
"I don't know how to teach you Faust I don't even know how to hold a sword myself." Gus tells to Faust while smiling.
Gus still treats Faust like a baby and adores him, because Faust is like a treasure to Gus and that's what has been keeping him alive so far. He doesn't want to teach Faust of any swordplay that potentially puts Faust's life in danger when he will grow up.
"Hmmmm but strong stamina huh." Faust leaves for the woods with Bella following his lead. He tries to bend and break every branch that he comes across, he tries to pick and push heavy stones, he trains himself the way in which he thought would make him strong, he tries to climb the grassy terrains and mountains with aims high as the will.
Faust keeps repeating this everyday, after he comes home from school. He keeps going into woods and goes deeper everyday. He discovered small animals and many different kinds of birds with variety of colored flowers along his way.
[After a few days]
"So I'm thinking of a new way to train our bodies, let's keep going deeper into the woods and discover the island and while doing that it would increase our strength and stamina." Faust plans Nick, Roy and Tim to which his friends all agreed willingly without any further arguments.
So Faust and his friends all together decided to go for an adventure into the woods after school one day. Faust ventures deeper into the woods like never before as his friends are with him and he is not scared since he is around more people today.
As everyone keeps moving forward Faust realises he was too soft or too easy going in his life until now, he thought that everyone other than him will get stumbled across the dense forest and branches and hills and up slides since it's their first time, but the three really crossed the obstacles easily without any problem. Faust is really scared with those things at first, he now realised that he is not brave enough to get familiar enough to these kinds of things in his life before.
"Dammit am I weak amongst my friends? No way wait until this super duper Faust crosses all of you all." Faust muddled to himself and gives out a smile from the corner of his mouth.
But very soon the super duper Faust is stumbled across a very small narrow valley with two stones to cross to get to the other side of the mountain. Nick leaped in one jump and Roy and Tim crossed it with the stones leaving Faust hella scared of the rocky path.
The stones seemed wet. He timidly thinks to himself that *what if I slip on the stones and fall in the water or in the bush of thorn that is right beside the stones*. Tim realised Faust is terrified and offered him his hand, Faust is still not able to take a step further . Tim then step back to one rock to reach Faust. He stands on the rock firmly and stretched his hand back to Faust telling to grab on and be brave, then Nick and Roy also stretched their hands assuring Faust that there is no danger.
After being able to cross that mini valley with the help of all three and gathering the confidence all the four pals came across what seems to be like Rocky territory with lots of caves and dens. Tim notices foot marks of animals and the branches and rocks near by have scratches, bites and Tim immediately realizes that this new territory is scary and he asked for all of them to go back the way they came here.
"Guys I don't think this is safe, we should all go back now" Tim says timidly. Faust who seems to be intrigued by what they find wants to explore more, but when Tim stopped him saying it's dangerous, he frowned not seeming to be happy and satisfy by the little adventure trip. He wants to go even more beyond the dens, but he listens to Tim and they all went back home.
"How are you pulling it off? Are you strong now? " Gus asks Faust in a mocking tone with a smirk on his face when Faust finally reaches home with his friends.
"Ahhhhhh grandpa, I'm cooler than you think yo, I crossed a big valley on stones all by myself and I beat up bears on my way, don't underestimate me." Faust lies as if he wanted to sound cool.
Nick, Roy and Tim standing behind Faust applause in slow motion with embarrassed faces because of Faust's obvious storytelling .
"Haha that is good, I can see my grandson becoming a warrior in front of my eyes." Gus plays along with Faust as he smiled at him mischievously.
*"So it's because of his grandpa that Faust lies and try to make himself sound cool"* Nick and the rest thinks in their heads.
"Okay we will be heading home now Faust, see you later." Nick says to Faust.
"Ah ok guys we will meet again tomorrow." Faust says as he leave.
"Hold on a second Faust. We're not going to come from tomorrow, we have some works and we are getting trained by our fathers, so this is our last exploration. Let's do it some other day when we four are free." Tim tells to Faust dismissing the idea of wandering.
"Training? What kind of training?" Faust asks in surprise and feels down because he realizes he doesn't have a dad like his friends.
"Well I'm training about hunting with my dad who is a hunter and then Nick is training to get strong to become a guard like his dad and Roy is learning about strategies and laws in this island, so we're pretty busy." Tim replies to Faust and takes his leave while smiling at Faust cool-ly.
*"Hmm I don't have a father to train me, I guess I need to train myself the same way from tomorrow. I'm gonna see what's in the dens."* Faust thinks to himself.
"Oh by the way I forgot to say Faust, don't go to those dens again. If I'm not wrong those dens looks like like a pack of wolves live there which are very strong. We saw how it's claws ripped the branches and rocks. So do not go to that place again. Tim rushes back to warn Faust about that mysterious place and then leaves finally.
