I decided to make a post featuring you guys, and a new character of mine, to help lead the plot in a new direction, that kind of matches my original ideas and hopefully yours too - and thus also make sure that the new map I'm planning to upload later this month will have new interesting areas to show instead of just blank space. I hope I didn't ruin any of your ideas in the process ^^

Chen, Yarrick & Thylleon the Gate Keeper ~ Completely Insane2/Halo2
_____________________________________________________________
A few miles north-east of Ryan McDonald's home was located the high Brightwing Hill. The famous hill, which was almost entirely surrounded by the shallow ocean water at its foot, had a grassy surface dotted with trees and flowers, and a single road leading to the top of it, where the beautiful white Brightwing Tower stood tall and proud. This building, which was of typical elvish design, was probably the reason why the hill was named as it was, for the tower's sides were decorated with huge golden wings.
In the round white tower's upper compartment sat an Elf, leaned back in a comfortable chair, reading
Definitely Not Twilight, a sequel to the popular fantasy-book called
Not Twilight. The Elf, who was known as Thylleon the Gatekeeper, found the book-series to be following a very intriguing story and had been a fan ever since the first book was published worldwide! Thylleon was both an experienced Paladin, a firm servant of the God of Light, and most importantly, a guardian of the Brightwing Tower. For almost one hundred years he had been in charge of overlooking the place, always prepared to warn the nearby elven cities to the north if an orcish army were approaching from the south. The only way to enter the elven cities, and thus the border of Easterland, was to get permission from Thylleon to board one of the magical flying wagons which would then head straight to the desired city.
However, he had little work to do, as the northern people rarely ventured south, and majority of the southern barbaric races were not allowed to pass the border anyway. He didn't mind - that meant he could instead use the time either watching TV or reading his favorite series again and again, and write personal fanfiction about the book-series' characters. A robo-cop entered the room. It was recently added to the laws of Easterland, that a robo-cop should overlook everyone crossing the borders, and thus at least one cop was always present at the Brightwing Tower with Thylleon.
"New visitor arrival! Sex: Male, Race: Panda = Possibly Furate Threat. Gate Keeper must inspect visitor at once!" the robo-cop's irritating metallic voice clung through the room and interrupted Thylleon's reading. But a job's a job, so the Gate Keeper put away the book and walked down the stairs.
...
Chen had just placed the stolen halo on the ground when the circular door of the nearby winged tower opened up and an elf approached him, with a robo-cop following shortly after.
"Greetings, I am Gate Keeper Thylleon. May I ask, what is your business here, Panda? Are you a Furate, or not?" the Gate Keeper asked while he walked closer to Chen. He was still a bit grumpy that he had been interrupted from his reading, but once he got close enough to recognize Chen, his face lighted up.
"Wait a second, you are no pirate! You are that Panda from the winning team in the Easter Games! What an honor! I'll give you a free ticket with the flying ferry, if only you give me your autograph!" Thylleon exclaimed with an excited voice.
Chen found it a good offer, and this was also a good chance to secretly wreak some havoc inside the elven city, for Mania. He started writing an autograph to the Gate Keeper, while he listened to a nearby bush. He knew Yarrick had been spying on him for a while. They had probably found out what he had done back at Ryan's house, or had followed him to get back Leila's halo. Whatever..
He laughed silently to himself as he handed the autograph to Thylleon. Yarrick and the others were actually quite welcome, to be killed in the name of the Goddess... A chase would actually be quite fun, so he decided to pick back up the halo with the black gloves, and then head into the Brightwing Tower, from where he could board a flying wagon, that would lead him to one of the nearby elven cities.
...
"Damnit" Yarrick said from his hideout in the bush, and headed back down the hill to Dante and the ghosts, so that he could explain to them that Chen had left the hill with the halo.
