After Kratos said his mission for Deimos where he would restrain his full strength and limit his weapon, they all continued their hunts where they are stalking the tracks that their prey left, Deimos then noticed that the tracks started going to other directions, Kratos noticed it too so he turned his head to Deimos who had a smile in his face.
"Father, it looks like I would be going in a different direction," Deimos said while smiling, excited about hunting his labor without nosy reactions.
"You will endure. I will not lift my restraints," Kratos said to Deimos.
"Yes, Father, it's just a Stag. If I ever run into other creatures, I'm sure I can defeat them just fine, even without using my full strength," Deimos explained while still looking at Kratos.
"Very well. I will join Atreus on the hunt. Return once it is done," Kratos said, giving his permission to Deimos.
"I would not fail you, father," Deimos said to Kratos.
"Good luck on your hunt, Atreus." Deimos then turned to Atreus, who was still looking at the tracks that his prey had made, and he turned around to follow his own prey's tracks.
Deimos was walking towards his prey for a while, until he stumble upon an area where there are ice where it did not belong, he then suspend his arms to generate a Bow which happened instantly, he then began to crouch while slowly walking towards the frozen path, it did not take a moment to see a towering stag that have golden horn with a body mixed with 4 different colors, representing the seasons of the midgard.
Stretching the string of the bow Deimos was steadying his aim, when suddenly 4 different kinds of creatures each laced with different kind of elements, one looked like a Draugr brute that have ice powers, Revenant with plant like magic powers, Troll with another Fire element, and a wulver with wind like element, with the stag behind them empowering them even more,
Deimos then looked at the creatures he was about to face, readying his bow with with an arrow, aiming at them, he started aiming at the Fire troll with the arrow, it shot towards it but did not kill it immediately, the wulver then attacked him, it was fast, with the wind element enhancing its speed, it matched the current speed of Deimos while holding back his full strength, when Deimos was about to counter the Wulver, he suddenly felt a temperature change in his current position, so he jumbed back, where he was attacked by plant like creature attempting to restrain him so ducked and rolled over where he was then attacked again by the wulver, this continue that he was only in the defensive mode due to the great coordination of the attacks of the 3 creatures while the fire troll just guard the Stag who was focusing on enhancing his creatures while they are fighting.
Deimos then began to study and learned their pattern, courtesy of his great talent being enhance by the talent and experience of his template he then begun fighting back, when the wulver attacked him, he swung his bow to match the attack and he suddenly jumped back while aiming his arrow towards the plant mage revenant that was also firing her magic, the revenant then teleported disrupting her plant attack, it gives Deimos a 0.4 seconds of time, he did not know how but his body subconsciously moved, his legs jumped again while his arms aimed against the ice draugr, he then swung his bow against the wulver who was knocked back, he they fully extend his bow in a moments time to attacked the wulver, effectively killing it, the moment his arrow strucked the wulver, he also moved to fight against the revenant who just teleported again but he did not really fully commit to the Revenant, it was just a trap since the revenant have the ice draugr in her back, so when she teleported, the real target revealed itself, he then swung his bow towards the draugr with all the strength he was allowed to use, it was killed immediately after that,
Deimos who was in the zone did not immediately noticed that the Fire troll suddenly throw his pillar after killing draugr, it hit him while also knocking him back, the revenant then throw her plant magic hitting Deimos in the process, he was momentarily incapacitated when the fire troll jumped towards him, realizing this, Deimos suddenly used his blink step, a skill he did not used for a long time, attacking the Stag, when he teleported, his arrow was fully drawn and ready to attack, the moment he released his arrow, the Stag suddenly used its magic to protect itself, it released a massive barrier of elemental energy spiraled around it, Deimos suddenly realized that it was now joining the fight, it was continuously attacking Deimos while enhancing the two remaining creatures it have in his vicinity, he enhanced the Fire troll with wind element making it faster and revenant with ice element to make its plant attacks more stopping power.
"Come out Fangtoppr" Deimos then released his summon, Fangtoppr, to fight against the Fire troll, while he was fighting against the revenant and stag, then Fangtoppr launched itself towards the fire golem who in turn attacked Fangtoppr, while Deimos teleported near the stag to attack it with its bow, when the stag used its barrier again, he switched his target to the revenant, he timed his teleport to match the movement of the stag since he noticed that the revenant hesitates to move when he was attacking the stag, when he reached the revenant, he did not give it any time to teleport, he just swing his Bow like a staff at full power when he killed the revenant so fast, she did probably did not noticed it, then Deimos turned its attention towards the Stag, Fangtoppr was also finishing its hunt, it bit the head of the fire troll and crunched it so hard it immediately died, both of them then turned towards the stag who was inside its barrier, Fangtoppr then attacked barrier with their full strength, Fangtoppr attacked it so hard that it destroyed the barrier immediately, the stag tried to attack with the fire and ice element but Deimos already with a bow and arrow aimed and ready, suddenly fired, it pierces the stag in its heart, effectively killing it,
"HUH? It seems it's just a great support but not a great fighter. It's no match for you, Fangtoppr," Deimos said to his very first summon while scratching the head of the lion. The lion just purred as a reaction to Deimos.
The soul of the Stag of All Seasons came out of its body, then it went inside. Its name is Velgrindr, from Old Norse "vel" (cycle) + "grindr" (gate). He liked the name, so he summoned it immediately,
"Come out Velgrindr!" Deimos said while his shadow enlarged itself, a massive deer came out. It was the color of a night, with a golden horn. He then introduced it to Fangtoppr, and both of them came back to his Shadow.

"hmm, I unlocked the Noble Phantasm of Heracles/Alcides, I'll be much, much stronger now," Deimos said, realizing that he was nearing his 100% template completion while also being excited on what would be his next template, he then realizes that he needed to come back towards where he separated from Kratos and Atreus, to find them, he then go back towards the starting point while finding the tracks his Father and Atreus made while walking, he then realized that he would be meeting the goddess Freya, so he move fast, following the tracks until he reached a place where there are traces of blood.
'This must be the place where they cured that boar,' Deimos thought, following the trace it left to a place with a giant turtle. He saw Atreus struggling to root out the leaves. Deimos then approached him.
"What are you doing?" Deimos said to Atreus, who was shocked.
"AHHHHH, WHAT!!" Atreus suddenly screamed while Kratos came out of the beast with Freya, they then saw Deimos, who was laughing at Atreus.
"Dude, calm down," Deimos said while Kratos approached with Freya,
"Deimos, is you're hunt finished?" Kratos asked while Freya just looked at Deimos with interest,
"Yes, Father, who is she?" Deimos answered while asking who the woman was beside him, acting oblivious to who she was.
"She's the friend of the boar I was hunting, we were here because we are healing the boar," Atreus said then,
"Ohh, I thought that was a wild one," Deimos said
"We thought so too, but here we are," Atreus said while still trying to pull the plant from the ground. Deimos just help him and yanked it from the ground.
"I did not need your help, I can just cut it with my knife," Atreus said while looking for his knife, realizing he was missing it.
"Hello, I'm Deimos, Atreus' older twin." Deimos introduced himself to the witch in the woods, who just looked at him while smiling.
"You two do not resemble each other. Are you sure you're twins, of the same age? You looked older," Freya said to Deimos, both of them were just talking while Kratos and Atreus were also talking about how he lost the knife.
"Lamb's crest, that's another thing I needed. Can you get me one?" Freya asked Deimos,
"What does it look like?"
"It's a white-petalled flower," Freya said. Deimos then completes the mission while going inside. There, he sees that Freya is using her magic to heal the boar with the ingredients that they give.
