Reflections for a White Clover - Chapter 1: Many Moons Rise and Fall - Episode 1
Sevilbarra's family treasure, a special demon blade, was part of his little sister's wedding procession where a villain went on a murder spree and took the blade for himself. Nowadays the Harvin samurai travels with the crew in hopes of one day avenging his sister. After receiving a letter from the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights about that very villain, they make haste for the location specified within.
This is a story from a long time ago.
There once lived a brother and a sister who safeguarded the only inheritance left behind by their deceased parents.
One half of that inheritance was a demon blade, a perilous katana forged in days of yore, capable of killing even a primal beast as claimed by some.
The other half was the sword arts needed to discipline body and mind so that one may cut down evil with the demon blade.
But as time flowed after the great struggle waged between skydwellers and Astrals, demon blades and sword arts were relegated to relics of the past.
Where the dojo had once passed down sword arts to the next generation of islanders, in time it became just another place to train the body.
Even the siblings entrusted with the demon blade no longer thought to take up the weapon.
It just so happened that another family with its own demon blade also resided on the same island.
They chose to control the demon blade by means of ancestral sealing magic over sword arts.
Years of researching various sealing spells for the good of the people solidified their role as the pillar of the island community.
At length the brother decided to hand over his family's demon blade to be sealed.
Marriage between the spellmaster's eldest son and the sister would serve as the ideal occasion to do so.
Carrying her bridal gown and demon blade, the sister crossed the mountains to be wed. And she almost was.
Alas.
One man saw fit not to forever hold his peace. His desire for the demon blade held by the siblings' house turned him into a beast, causing him to attack the wedding procession.
The bride's protectors came to her aid, but were cut down one by one until the aisle was stained red with blood.
Lying in a burgundy sludge, the brother tried to prop himself up with his katana and was greeted with a grisly sight.
A once white wedding dress was now decidedly crimson.
The sister was dead. The demon blade stolen. The brother a failure at protecting either one.
When the disgraced brother finally stirred, he found the groom had already vanished from his estate.
The groom had left to find the murderer. If he had to sacrifice his soul to the demon blade, then so be it.
The brother seeks this murderer much in the same vein. The demon blade that set this tragedy in motion will be shattered by the brother's hand.
So goes this old tale, one whose ending is still yet to be written.
No one can predict its conclusion, but it's surely nearing, one day at a time.
Lyria: Sevilbarra! Where are you?
Sevilbarra: Hm?
Vyrn: Aha! Found him! So this is where you've been hiding, Straw Hat Guy.
Sevilbarra: What's got you two, and even (Captain), so out of breath?
Lyria: We just got a letter from the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights.
Sevilbarra: The Lumiel Order of Holy Knights? Ah, close friends of (Captain), if I remember correctly.
Bridgette is a crew member, Cordelia is a crew member, Sevastien is a crew member, Any version of Charlotta is a crew member, Any version of Baotorda is a crew member
Lyria: That's right! Some of those knights are even part of our crew.
Vyrn: (Captain) asked them if they knew anything about that guy you were chasing.
Sevilbarra: You did that for me, (Captain)? Apologies to you, Captain, for taking up your time.
(Captain) reassures Sevilbarra that sending a single missive is hardly any trouble at all.
Lyria: This letter is their response.
Lyria: It doesn't go into any details, but it says they want us to go talk to them!
Sevilbarra: ...!
Sevilbarra: It sounds like this order has valuable information.
Vyrn: That's what we think too! Otherwise they wouldn't bother calling us out there.
(Captain) nods at Vyrn and sets a course for an inn at their next destination.
Sevilbarra: I feel as if I'm always in your debt, (Captain).
Sevilbarra: But now I might finally be able to get my hands on that knave!
