After the city of Domita was reduced to nothing but rubble and ash
The Atrarian giants who spearheaded the assault retreated back to their nation
The Mazmus did what they could, but our losses far outnumbered theirs
Thousands dead, hundreds missing
And those who survived were forced to seek refuge in the nearby cities
A young Naethan Apollo being one of them

But wait, the teacher said your mom died fighting off giants during the attack?
Yeah, she fought, but she's not dead, just missing
How do you know?
I dunno, I just kinda do
Cool

Hey, are you gonna finish that sandwich?
Mm, nah, you can have it
Score

The Mazmus is here, come on!
Tyler! Wait for me!

All the schoolyard children rush over to the Mazmus caravan to witness the knights pass through
Apollo struggles to shove his way to the front of the crowd
Following his friend Tyler, who made this look much easier than it was for him

Whoa!
Oh, dear! The boy has fallen
Right at the foot of a woman, no less

Sorry, I- I didn't mean to-
On your feet, soldier
Uh, yes ma'am!

The woman's clothes clearly define her as a high-ranking Mazmus official
And, are those horns? Sprouting from her head like she's some kind of ram?

You and your friend, what are your names?
Um, Naethan Apollo!
Tyler Brawn
Hm, just these two, Trace?

A nearby giant takes a knee, as she diligently scans the crowd of the children
But these kids were not frightened by this
Giants from Estersall are not only respected as our protectors and allies
But like all giants, they can sense some things that humans cannot

Hm, it would appear so, Highblade
I see, well boys, my compatriot here has informed me that you two are both blessed
Are you aware of that?
Yes, ma'am!
It's a great honor to be chosen by Mother Nature herself
And it comes with a lot of responsibility

Don't worry, ma'am, we'll do our duty
When we grow up, we're gonna join the Mazmus and kick Atraria's ass
Yeah!
Well, with heart like that, I'm sure Toltag is quaking in his throne

And who knows? The Great Mother might have more in store for you
More than just a blessing, a gift, perhaps
Like you?
Exactly
Will I grow horns too?
If you're lucky

Ari, wrap it up! We gotta get this caravan moving
In a moment, Argi, I'm inspiring the youth
Give me a break, brevity is the soul of wit, you know
Ugh, Siblings, heh

Very well
Children, sorry this was short, but it looks like we must be going
Aww
I know, I know

But just remember, the Mazmus will always fight for you
We will make the Atrarians regret what they did to Domita
And if you ever find yourself wishing that things could be different
Know that the Mazmus is always calling your name
The question is, will you answer?
