When he was left alone, a Nasod sent by King Nasod came up and took Raven as well as other mercenaries. They were forced to be part of a new experiment to create Human-Nasod cyborgs. They were given mind controlling devices and were made to be soldiers of the Nasod Army, stationed on the Black Crow.

In the Northern Empire, resides a martial arts family, known for having sealed the destructive Spiritual Beast, Eun. After the great El Explosion, the Haan family was able to wield the power of the Moon El after it flew into their territory, turning them into fierce warriors. This did not sit well with others in the capital, who tried to quell their power by appointing the eldest son, Aren as the capital's guard captain. Ara's mother met the head of the Haan family by chance and the two started to see each other, eventually marrying. Within the family, some of Ara's new step siblings weren't too pleased with her and her mother being a part of the family, all except Aren who treated her just as he would any of his other siblings. She tried her best to be as perfect as can be, in order to avoid being teased by her other siblings. Due to Aren's respect and faith in her, she was able to withstand the teasing from her other siblings, knowing that at least one of them cared for her.

[[Elkashu]], the leader of the Red Mercenary Knights was enlisted by the Kingdom of [[Velder]] to aid protect the state during the Velder Civil War. When he was called to fight in the front lines he had to leave his home in [[Ruben]] along with leaving his children, [[Elsword]] and [[Elesis]] behind as he went off to war. He planned to leave at the break of dawn but both [[Elsword]] and [[Elesis]] had awoken. He promised the two that he would be back soon before he made his way off to [[Velder]], [[Elsword]] too young to understand waved him away with a smile while [[Elesis]] felt a sense of sadness.

Several years later, the prolong time at war had done a number on Elkashu and he was in a less than pristine state of health. Having reached a bottleneck in the battle, his men's supplies were starting to wear thin and he could not wait out the battle any longer. Seeking a means of aid, he contacted his daughter [[Elesis]] to join him on the battlefield. Looking over the current situation, Elkashu elaborates that the enemy general Sir [[Branderk]] was currently holding strong in his fortress in the Glornir Plains, but due to the Dark Forest Marden between them and the plains, [[Branderk]]'s general [[Corkus]] has been able to hold onto the only clear path between the two. After discussing the situation among the other commanders, he introduced Elesis. Elkashu knew that her experience with the El Search Party program and experience in demon infested dark forests would aid in their situation. Elesis created a plan where she would lead all the soldier with El Search Party experience through the Marden Forest to launch a surprise attack. Elkashu agreed with the plan to the other commanders' shock and dismay. He entrusted Elesis and partnered her with his vice captain [[Penensio]].

[[Aisha]] Landar found herself at the gate of an ancient ruin in search of the Ring of Mimir. Using the ancient Elrian language, she was able to enter it alongside her grandfather, [[Kuenbaran]]. Unannounced to them, they were followed by [[Hennon]] who had been trailing Aisha since in her search for the artifact. Aisha and her grandfather became separated whilst overcoming a series of trials, after which Aisha proceeded onward and discovered the altar which held the ring. A force had briefly taken over her body, and when she finally came to, the ring was already on her finger. Whilst trying to remove it, Hennon man appeared, attempting to extort the ring from her.

Unwilling to part with the ring her family had sought for generations, she futilely attempted to battle the stranger. In desperation, she tapped into the ring's power, and became enveloped in light. However, before she could attack, the ring absorbed all of her power, along with the surrounding energy. The stranger proceeded to steal the ring from her and then left. Once her grandfather finally located her, he carried her back home, where she laid unconscious for a week. When she awoke, she was saddened by the loss of her power, until he assured her she may be able to gain her power back through the power of El.

Elsword was alone, lamenting about the circumstances as he laid upon his bed, reminiscing about his family. His father was one of the best knights of the kingdom, and his sister a highly desired talent, and there he sat alone, feeling weak and helpless. Wishing he was stronger, he grabbed his sword, and began to train relentlessly, day after day, swearing that he will become strong enough to protect everyone. With every bit of progress he made, his face filled with a smile as he recalled his sister's words of encouragement, knowing that someday he would join his family in battle at last.

 

Filled with a new sense of determination, Elsword trained hard and eventually joined as the youngest member of Ruben's El Scouts in history.
