Description

The Haan's were a martial arts family that guarded the sealed nine tailed fox Eun and also had the ability to manipulate the power of the Moon El.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • The Northern Empire is a land located at the northern edge of Fluone.
  • After the El explosion separated the continent, Northern Empire has developed separately from Elrian Kingdom.
  • This was possible due to the sacred animals that protected the lands.
  • The people worshiped the sacred animals, and in return, the sacred animals protected the people form invaders.
  • But not all native Spiritual Beasts were good and benevolent. Amongst them, there were Spiritual Beasts that only acted out of their own gain regardless of human standards of good and evil.
  • Nine Tailed Fox 'Eun' was one of those Spiritual Beasts. 'Eun' destroyed many towns in order to seize human souls but she was finally 'sealed' by a warrior from the Haan family.
  • After that, Haan family became a martial artist family that protected the seal of the Nine Tailed Fox 'Eun'.
  • Haan family's power was marginal. There was nothing Haan family had to show for themselves except for protecting the seal of the Nine Tailed Fox 'Eun'.
  • Then one day, the moon El flew into Haan family's territory. It was because of the great El explosion.
  • Haan family became able to wield the power of the moon El and gained reputation as fierce warriors in the Northern Region.
  • Other families in the capital weren't too pleased by Haan family's achievements. They tried to quell Haan family's power by coming up with a likely excuse of imposing a law that appointed eldest son of the family to a position of 'capital's guard captain'.
  • Elder brother Aren was eldest son of the Haan family. Elder brother and I were destined to part with each other ever since we were young.

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives

Description

Older brother, Aren, was different from the other siblings.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • My mother was 2nd wife of my father.
  • Father fell in love with mother at first sight after seeing her jump in front of a running carriage without any regards for herself in order to save an old woman from harm. Father immediately visited mother's home the next day and proposed to her.
  • Father didn't give up easily despite mother's refusal. He tenaciously and sincerely protected mother's side at all time and mother finally accepted his proposal after recognizing his righteous character.
  • Two got along harmoniously as much as the difficulty they had in becoming together. They were always together and held each other very dearly.
  • But my other siblings didn't seem too pleased about mother and me being in the Haan family.
  • Siblings treated mother rudely and teased me out of sight of the adults.
  • Mother had a soft-hearted personality and was always worried if her actions might hurt the feelings of other siblings.
  • Because of my mother's personality, I tried my best to not to talk about other siblings teasing me to her.
  • I thought that I had to become more courteous and perfect child in every way so that other siblings couldn't find any faults to tease me with.
  • Only one who treated me equally as their sibling was Elder Brother Aren.
  • He was the prop of the household who was loved by the entire Haan family. He acted courteously towards everyone and didn't discriminate me like the other siblings.
  • The more Elder Brother Aren treated me kindly, the other siblings teased me even more but I could withstand them.
  • I could stay strong and withstand them because there was someone who trusted me and treated me dearly.

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives

Description

Within the family, I was the failure.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Ara: (An opening!)
  • Children of the Haan family were required to master martial arts. This was because they were born with the duty of protecting the seal of the Nine Tailed Fox 'Eun'.
  • Ever since we were able to walk, me and my siblings learned from our martial arts instructor how to handle weapons and how to control the power of the moon El.
  • I wasn't particularly good at other things but was confident at least in my spear skills. But...
  • Sister: That kind of lame attack won't work!
  • Ara: Ah...!
  • Sparring with other siblings was difficult. Today's training session was sparring with spears that I was confident in, but the result was my defeat as always.
  • Martial Arts Teacher: Stop, it's Ara's defeat.
  • At our instructor's shout, I got up while hitting the dust off my back and stood in front of third oldest sister.
  • Martial Arts Teacher: Ara, your bold attack was fine but you leave too many openings. Your movements were quite good during practice but your body freezes every time during sparring...
  • I offered a handshake as a sign of saying good match but Third Sister picked up her weapon and walked past me.
  • Ara: ...
  • Martial Arts Teacher: Always think about your own movements as well. Your strong point is your flexible movements so you'll certainly be able to perform better if you throw away your burdens a bit. Why don't you try one more time?
  • Instructor smiled kindly then looked at second oldest brother. Second Brother confidently nodded as he raised his spear.
  • Ara: ... Okay. I'll try one more time.
  • Instructor gave the signal with a gladness in his voice. I corrected my stance as I stepped far away from Second Brother.
  • Ara: (Always think about my own movements...)
  • I had to think about not just my opponent's movements, but my own movements as well. Read the enemy's moves and break through their opening to land a finishing blow.
  • The image I drew in my head was close to perfect but my body didn't move according to my thoughts.
  • Ara: (Throw away my burdens... How am I supposed to throw it away...?)
  • I barely blocked the spear that approached my head then ran away to create some distance. Second Brother must have not liked me just running away because he ran straight after me as he swung his spear aggressively.
  • Ara: (I shouldn't let myself be beaten by such an obvious attack. I have to dodge the spear with least movements as possible.)
  • I parried the attack by only moving my spear slightly then didn't hesitate to go on the offensive right away. Second Brother easily lowered his spear to block my attack.
  • Ara: (Don't think about anything else. Just focus on the battle in front of me.)
  • I distanced myself far away again as I held my spear with only one hand. Second Brother was running in straightly again and was swinging his spear much more widely this time.
  • Ara: (Now!)
  • I jumped up high to dodge Second Brother's spear and landed behind his back.
  • The moment I was turning around to sweep across his defenseless leg, my hand stopped for some unknown reason.
  • Brother: Heh, what an idiot!
  • Second Brother immediately turned around to land a finishing blow on me.
  • Martial Arts Teacher: Stop... it's Ara's defeat.
  • I couldn't look straightly into instructor's disappointed face shaking his head left and right that I turned around on the spot and left the training gym.
  • I could hear other siblings mocking me from far away. I will certainly get scolded by instructor for my disrespectful behavior but I couldn't go back.
  • I was always a loser in this place.

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives

Description

As I was calming down my resentments, brother Aren appeared before me.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Ara: (It's fine... That was for the best...)
  • Sparring match with Second Brother from before kept coming up in my mind every time I swung my spear.
  • Ara: (That's right... Mother will be troubled... If I had attacked Second Brother and somehow hurt him.)
  • Even though I thought it was for the best in the corner of my mind, there was always me who was regretting stopping my hand at that moment whenever I came to my senses.
  • I struggled to hide this feeling but only a very frustrated emotion remained in the end.
  • How I couldn't live openly with my head held high was frustrating and my mother being pained because of the other siblings was frustrating as well.
  • But most of all, how I couldn't beat the other siblings in something I was most confident at was most frustrating.
  • Ara: (It's not fine... It's frustrating...)
  • Tears that I tried to hold back burst open. It has been so long since I cried out loud. And after sitting down on the spot and wiping my eyes for a bit, now I even felt angry.
  • Aren: Are you alright?
  • Stream of tears that didn't show any signs of stopping instantly stopped when a familiar voice came from beside me.
  • Ara: O, of course... I, I'm fine!
  • I stood up hastily while wiping my tears to see Elder Brother Aren with a worried expression.
  • Elder Brother Aren handed me a handkerchief and stood beside me without saying a word until I calmed down.
  • Ara: I'm sorry... I showed you myself being so unsightly.
  • Aren: No, I fully understand. Everyone has particularly difficult times...
  • Elder Brother Aren who was picking up my spear from the ground below his feet made a quite serious expression.
  • I took the spear and thanked him as I took couple steps in order to leave quickly. But I couldn't go far because I had no choice but to stop from Elder Brother Aren's words.
  • Aren: Would you like to have a proper sparring match with me?
  • As I pondered for a while thinking about what I should say in order to refuse without being disrespectful, Elder Brother Aren challenged me to a sparring match one more time.
  • Aren: This isn't a request. This is an order as the eldest son.
  • There was no way I could refuse. Elder Brother Aren approached me who was turning around unconfidently then fixed the sword he was holding. He spoke as he lightly hit my spear with the sword.
  • Aren: Try attacking me all you want. Don't think about anything else.
  • Elder Brother Aren swung his sword strongly as he pressured me without showing even a slight hint of openings. I had to focus all my strength on blocking Elder Brother's attacks.
  • Aren: This shouldn't be all there is to your skills! Try more seriously!
  • I was gradually pushed back and fell into a position where I couldn't escape anymore because I had my back to a giant tree.
  • I was looking for a chance to try and escape to a more open area when Elder Brother's sword approached me again.
  • I couldn't dodge it. I had to face it instead. I saw an opening in Elder Brother's attack for just a very slight instant.
  • I quickly blocked the sword with my spear then attacked Elder Brother's side with the back of my spear. Then I turned around as I raised the spear. My spear had approached the tip of Elder Brother's chin.

  • Ara: H... how... can this...?

  • Aren: Amazing... I lost. It's my defeat.
  • Elder Brother Aren smiled joyfully as he dropped his sword. My movements just now were exactly the same as the movements I had always drawn in my mind.
  • Aren: I know that you're always timid from being wary about other brothers and sisters.
  • I looked up at Elder Brother's face as I withdrew my spear.
  • Aren: But if you continue to steadily devote yourself to your training, there will certainly come a day when you can openly express yourself.
  • Elder Brother was staring far off into an unknown distance. His face looked slightly tired.
