He joins a village of fishermen during his adventures.
	Hilda A young harpist and singer. Hilda’s village was destroyed by a demon. She is somber and sings haunting songs of loneliness.

She lives alone until Horus takes her to the fishermen’s village. She always wears a blue gem on a necklace.
	Grunwald An ice demon. Grunwald’s sole purpose is to destroy all humans, and has many ways to do this. He is not arrogant, however, and can recognize a powerful opponent.

	Maug A giant made of boulders. The Sword of the Sun was stuck in his shoulder.
