== Plot ==

The episode begins with Elsword giving a summary of events that happened prior to the start of the anime. He narrates about the events of the [[Lore#El_Explosion|El Explosion]] and the invasion of demons. He recalls how the demons plan to capture the priestesses guarding the El Shards, resulting in the El losing its power.  

After the fight concludes, the group takes a moment of respite in a cave, where Raven thanks Chung for leading them this far through Hamel. Chung replies by saying he should be thanking them instead, to which Raven replies that they were heading to the Temple of Water anyways. Elsword mentions that their goal is to rescue the Water Priestess [[Sasha]], who is currently held captive by the demons. Rena remarks that Chung was fighting the demons alone before, with Aisha also noting that it would be difficult to fight them alone. Chung then reveals himself as the heir to the Seiker line and explains that his father, [[Helputt]], was corrupted and turned into a demon. After explaining his situation, Rena suggests that the group works with Chung, so they can accomplish their goals together. Eve and Elsword both concur, with Elsword noting that his sister should be returning from scouting soon. Elesis states that the path ahead is quiet, as if the demons were waiting for them to appear. Elsword seems troubled by this, and she attempts to reassure him by saying that there's nothing the Red Knights cannot handle. As the group leaves the cave to proceed forward, Add's silhouette can be seen behind a waterfall for a brief moment, showing that he was observing them the entire time.

As the group approaches the end of the bridge, Elesis notices the demon Bobosse blocking their path. Elesis proceeds to attack him but misses after Bobosse jumps. When Bobosse lands, he smashes his hammer onto the bridge, causing it to collapse. As the group begins to fall with the debris of the bridge, Add jumps in and carries Eve, telling her that he will not let her break.  

In a flashback, we see Ain being given both his name, Ainchase, and his mission, to restore the El, from the goddess. He states that once he has used Elsword to complete his mission, he will disappear from this world, and we again see him observing the group from a distance, this time in the cave. However, Ain begins to disappear from existence. He wonders if perhaps it was due to a past time he interfered, but he's unable to confirm anything before completely evaporating into thin air. Elsword asks the others in the cave if there was someone else who protected him. Neither Eve nor Aisha can think of anyone but Oberon. In a moment of remembrance, Elsword says Ain's name, and he re-materializes.  Noting that it was due to Elsword that he was able to remain in this world, we cut ahead to the scene of the group crossing the bridge. Here, we see that Ain was watching them from a nearby cliff, where he comes to the conclusion that Elsword is the power that brought him to this world, the reason he can still exist, and a force integral to restoring the El.
