 ==== Character Story: Part III ====
+The Supreme Guardian made the correct choice.
+After the war, many residents of Belobog could finally let out a sigh of relief and pick up the pieces of their simple lives. However, not even the Captain himself could have imagined that after this facade for peace, they would face an ever more tragic all-out war. Without outside help, this protracted war would usher in the demise of all Belobog.
+Right now, he is checking whether his shield, Earthwork, is still functioning as before. This heavy force field device was hand-crafted by his sister out of an instrument case — and if anything is broken, the poor captain would have to rely on his rockstar of a sister to help fix it..
+//"Gepard, if — and I do mean, if —"// he thinks back to her words, //"If one day, the Supreme Guardian orders you to abandon the people of Belobog to complete some goal of hers... What would you do?"\\
+"She would never do that. She is the Supreme Guardian."// He was resolute.\\
+//"I'm speaking hypothetically."// She looked at him.\\
+//"I'm not sure why you're asking, but I've pledged an Oath of Preservation to Qlipoth. I will protect Belobog and her people at any cost — including my own life, of course.\\
+If one day, protecting the people means disobeying the Supreme Guardian's orders — and if either choice would land me in danger — then I'd still choose the former, because that is what I'm supposed to do."//\\
+They both fell silent, before she laughed out loud.\\
+//"Gepard, oh Gepard...\\
+You really are a Landau, aren't you?"//

 ==== Character Story: Part IV ====
+The young captain stands atop the northern rampart.
+He glances out the corner of his eye at the esteemed Guardian. He sees her head held high as she gazes into the blizzard, as if nothing in the city below has anything to do with her. Her people could not make her happy or angry, sad or scared. There is only emptiness in those eyes.
+What exactly is the Supreme Guardian thinking? The young captain racks his brains, but could not find any answer.
+The cacophony of elegant bagpipes explodes in the air to signify the beginning of the assault, instantly shredding the snow curtain — and those brave warriors in blue uniform respond to the call, lifting up their halberds one after the other and pointing the tips at the swarming hordes of alien monsters. Beneath the cover of artillery, they commence their charge to the death.
+Gepard Landau, what should you think about this? The young captain racks his brains.
+//"Remember, Gepard Landau—\\
+You will defend Belobog and her people at any cost — you will never let down the people you're supposed to protect... Never bring the Landau name into shame!"//
+This time, the young captain finally finds his answer\\
+— as he strides out towards the battlefield.
