[Well, he might as well share his whole story now.]

There is a war raging in my world...and perhaps something greater. It began when the Great Dragon sensed an evil energy pouring from the southern nation. When Lady Myrrh began her journey to investigate it, I was sent to be her escort. However, we were separated in a skirmish, and I had been searching the entire continent over to find her. Meanwhile, the southern nation began to invade its neighbors, its longtime allies. And then monsters began to appear. I'm certain that all of this is connected to the foul energy that the Great Dragon had detected.
