Third Person's POV:

So Velvet begins her journey of revenge to find Artorius with two jailers named Rokurou and Magilou. But unknown to her, Her lost friend Brendan has begun his journey. After the Scarlet Night three years ago, Brendan is now 18 years old. During that time, He has been alone ever since except with the Sixth Empyrean within his staff traveling blindly as he says. But thanks to an unexpected encounter, He got all the training he needed to become the Unknown Hero he hoped to become. This is how his story went.

Brendan's POV:

As I sat on a rock, I took out my journal. "I still remember it like it was yesterday. Even though it was three months ago; After the Advent, I was separated from my best friend." I said, writing. "If I did die and someone finds my journal, You won't believe me but I found the Sixth Empyrean and that was when I knew the world had changed completely." I said, writing. "Ever since that day, I wandered along with the God that possessed my staff. So I could find my friends Velvet and Laphicet Crowe." I said, as I finished and closed my journal. "I'm thirsty." I thought, then I saw a small pond. "There!" I said, as I went to it. "Maybe I should use it." I thought, as I changed my staff into a bowl, scooped some water, and drank from it. "That's better." I said, as the bowl changed back into a staff. 

"It's been three months since I've been on this journey." I said. "Thanks to Six's training and great knowledge, I've been fighting off many daemons and monsters but I still feel like I've been walking in circles." I thought. "Brendan." A voice said. "Huh? What is it, Six? I'm kind of in a bit of a pickle." I asked. "What is so confusing?" Six asked. "W-well, I've been wandering in circles for the last three months moving from small towns." I replied. "I don't feel like I'm doing anything at all. I feel like I'm not worthy of being the Unknown Hero." I added. "Patience, Brendan. As I said before, I decided to make you the Unknown Hero not only because of your belief alone but also because of your family's belief." Six said. "All of the people I've chosen in the past had the same worries but eventually overcame them." He added. "So, How do I do that? Where do I need to go?" I asked. "That is for you to decide. Find the path that will lead you to success. All you need to do is continue on the path you are on." Six said. "Ok, I hope I can still live up to your expectations." I said, then I saw a light.

"Huh?" I said, as I went to it and saw a bright sphere floating in front of me. "What is that?" I said. "You have nothing to fear, Brendan." A voice said, as I recognized it. "Arthur? Is that you?" I asked. "Yes. I'm glad that you have survived after the Advent." He said. "I'd rather consider it luck." I said. "But Arthur, What is this thing? Where are you?" I asked. "This light you are currently seeing is an arte created by a friend to find you. And luckily, he did." Arthur replied. "I'll send a search party to find you." He added. "Hold on, You still haven't told me where you are. Also, what is happening now? After I saw two bright lights in the sky, Something very strange is going on here. What is it?" I asked. "If you want to know the truth, Come to the Capital of Loegres in Midgand. I'll be waiting for you." Arthur said, then the light disappeared. "I'll be there!" I shouted.

"Ok, At least now I have a place where I need to go." I said, then I heard rustling. "Uh oh." I thought, as I grabbed my staff. "Six, Change my staff into a sword." I said, quietly as it changed. "Alright daemon or whatever you are, I'm ready for you." I thought, as the rustling got louder then I spotted something. "Rending Winds!" I said, launching the arte at the bushes. "Did I get it?" I thought, as I went to the bush and moved it and saw a baby bird on the ground. "Oh no!" I said, panicked. "I hit a baby bird." I said, as I looked up but saw no nest. "Where did you come from?" I asked, as I put my staff down and tried to pick it up but it squawked at me. "No, no. It's ok. I won't hurt you again." I said, quietly as I picked it up. "Shh, It's ok." I said, stroking it. "I've never seen a bird like you before." I said, then I heard a low rumbling.
