The Hero's Path

Recently, I was just wandering around the map hoping to find some easy quests for money. But that wasn't the case! So, a Titan teleported to me and started asking about the year and so on. He said something about Sarefa. Perhaps you meant Sareta, the Dark Messiah.
Then I returned to Winded. The ground is cracking! I see an earth elemental appearing. But I managed to run to Winded. There was no clash. I generally avoid him. Was he supposed to attack me?
