★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★
Following the death of the one-armed hero Who saved the world, A city was built on the very same land Where he sealed the evil god. Acting as a barrier to uphold the seal, It served as the cornerstone of a long-lasting peace.
Those with the Proof (Crest) of Thunder Branded into their proud right arms Were known as the Clan of the Thunder God. The secret of the clan, a mystery told as legend; The chronicles of a boy, Tracing the lineage of the Thunder God.
The weaker they are, the more they band together In search of a scapegoat. The days of his youth spent without knowing love Wrought pain of a searing stone.
Keeping his lips sealed shut, He held onto his knees and braced himself. If he took shelter from the rain, it would eventually pass. And a storm is no different.
Does an emblem (crest) that lost its shine Hold any real power? The small, outstretched hand of the girl Looked so big to him…
Within the palms of history, what remains untold Is the story of how the boy and girl met. Like a flash of lightning, Ten years pass by in a single moment. And now… The black history is set in motion once again…
Gazing up at the faraway sky With an aching in my chest… All I can see in the distance is her lovely smile, While knowing in my heart these impossible feelings Will never be returned…
Why must you, my beauty, be the daughter of our leader? You are betrothed to the strongest in the clan, As commanded by the immutable law of our people.
Ah… am I unable to protect you, With this arm devoid of power (thunder)? None can match the power of my feelings for you— No matter how hard I shout, My words only vanish into the wind…
The end of an age. A suitor for the eldest daughter Was to be determined on her 16th birthday. As her birthday approached, the fiercest warriors of the clan came forward to vie for her hand.
The end of an age. A sinister aura enveloped the entire city. Dark clouds brewing in the sky Ushered in "The Third Storm"…
"Oh no… how can this be? I can see the shadows of people clad in black robes… We mustn't let disciples of the chronicle Breach the innermost barrier. They are trying to break the seal on the evil god! The blood of the Thunder God has been so diluted, We can barely harness the smallest thunderbolts. Ahh… how frightening! The almighty power that will shake heaven and earth… It's coming, ahh, it's coming…!"
A howl that tears the earth asunder, Claws that rip through the heavens; A pair of six wings that ignite an inferno. Bewitched by eyes that held insurmountable darkness, Brave warriors fell one by one…
Ah… is man so powerless in the face of god? The moment before all Were to be consumed by deep despair, A peculiar blinding light Struck the powerless (thunderless) young man's body…
"Awaken… O valiant youth who inherits my right arm— Hear ye, heir to the power (thunder) of my lineage… In a bygone era, my right arm was lost whilst Charging a spear of thunder to seal The Evil One (god). If the power (thunder) within thee unleashes now, Thine arm along with thy body shall be blown apart… Art thou prepared to give thy life? …Then awaken now, O 『Right Arm of the Thunder God』!"
"Power (Thunder) is too much For one person to bear alone, But together we can do it, I believe in us!"
On that day, lightning pierced through the dark clouds Upon the reunion of the boy and girl. And now… two emblems intertwined To weave a brighter age (future)…
"…ma… hey, grandma… grand-ma!" "Why'd you stop? What happens next in the story?" "Oh… right, sorry." "So then, the Thunder God defeated the evil god, right? Didn't he?" "Well… I wonder about that… It's a story from so long ago that I've forgotten…" "What…! That's not fair…" "The truth is… the power of the Thunder God Didn't really matter in the end… Because that girl loved the boy Ever since they first met…"
…my Grandma said, eyes shining with tenderness As she smiled softly. …It left a deep impression on me. …Something tells me The lineage of the Thunder God isn't over…
