Hayward grew up in a small village in the wilderness. He grew up having a relatively peaceful life (peaceful for the wild anyways). However, recently the animals of the wild have been acting strangely. One of these strange occurrences was a mass stampede of animals towards the outskirts of the Village. In this Stampede Hayward lost his friend. Since then Hayward has left his home in hopes of finding help and whatever is causing the animals of his home to act so strangely.
