*'' | *''There were multiple families that worshipped Spiritual Beasts in the Northern Empire. Our Haan family was technically protecting the seal of 'Eun' so it was hard to say we were worshiping a Spiritual Beast, but we also attended meetings among those families nevertheless. Festival that was held every 5 years was one of those meetings. Families that worshiped Spiritual Beasts gathered in the capital every 5 years and held a festival that promoted friendship with each other. Although it was a festival, in actuality, it was a place for Northern Empire's emperor who was afraid of powers of each of the families to keep an eye out for dangerous or questionable individuals. Since it was a place where heads of all families, their wives and their direct children gathered, there was no better place for emperor to gather information. Participating families taught their family members to be cautious of their actions in festivals when emperor was present. They all told their family members in unison that if you are in a place where emperor's eyes could reach, it was best to not stand out so no matter what happens you should just 'stay put'. Do we have to stay put even if a Spiritual Beast like 'Eun' starts running amok? At my question, elders laughed and answered that I should. I got a feeling that emperor and the elders were both just cowards but nodded and told them that I understood. But I was just as much of a big coward as them. Highlight of the festival was martial arts sparring contest. It took place on the last day after couple days of joyous festivities. All unmarried children of each family participated and a family with only their children remaining at the end was determined victorious.'' | ||

*''I was scared. If I make a big mistake in the sparring contest, many blames will certainly fall upon mother as well.'' | |||
*'''Ara''': ''(I don't want to participate….)'' | |||
*''I was making up various excuses while rolling my spear on the ground with my feet but sighed in the end and stood up. I knew that nothing will be solved by worrying right now, so I decided to do whatever I can. I held my spear and swung it widely towards a target in front of me. It felt like my mind was becoming a bit lighter.'' | |||
