|en=After the death of the one-armed hero who once saved the world<br>
A village sprung up from the place where the evil god is sealed<br>
Its existence acting as a barrier,<br>
The foundation for a long-lasting peace was laid...<br>
<br>
An Emblem[proof] imprinted on their proud right arms<br>
They are called the Clan of the Thunder God<br>
The mystery of the legend, the secret of the emblem<br>
The trail painted by a young boy, the genealogy of the Thunder God<br>
<br>
The weaker ones find company in a group<br>
And search for a sacrificial lamb<br>
The young days when love was not known<br>
Were the pain of a burnt stone<br>
<br>
Stiffening his lips<br>
He hugged his legs and bore it alone<br>
If you find shelter during rain, it'll pass eventually<br>
The same can be said of storms<br>
<br>
But what is the true strength<br>
Behind this emblem that has no shine?<br>
The girl's tiny outstretched hand<br>
Seemed very big...<br>
<br>
On the palms of the ever-silent history<br>
Is the story of the boy and the girl who met each other<br>
10 years of time pass away in an instant<br>
Like the flash of lightning<br>
Now...black history seemed to be moving again...<br>
<br>
Gazing at the faraway sky, this chest is filled with anxiety<br>
What appears is her lovely smile<br>
Even though I knew...I am not befitting of those feelings...<br>
<br>
Why are you, my beauty, the daughter of the clan's leader?<br>
You are to be engaged to the strongest one in our village<br>
According to the unchangeable clan law....<br>
<br>
Ah....can I not protect you with my powerless arm?<br>
I won't lose to anyone on account of my feelings<br>
But even if I shout them out loud, my words merely disappear into the wind...<br>
<br>
The time is near. The leader's daughter's engagement is to be decided on her 16th birthday.<br>
As her birthday nears, the warriors of the clan competed against each other and introduced themselves.<br>
The time is near. An aura of evil covers the entire village.<br>
The dark clouds covering the entire sky tell of "The Third Coming of the Storm"...<br>
<br>
"Oh....how could this be!”<br>
“Granny…what’s wrong, granny?”<br>
“I can see the shadows of those black robed people...<br>
The apostles of the prophecy book. We cannot let them go to the depths of the seal,<br>
they're trying to break the seal on the evil god.<br>
Nowadays, the blood of the great Thunder God is diffused, and all we can control are but small lightning...<br>
Ahh...how frightening! The great power that shakes the earth and the skies...it's coming, it's coming!"<br>
<br>
A roar that tears through the earth. Claws that rip the sky. Six wings that burn like fire.<br>
Enchanted by eyes filled with darkness, the brave warriors fell one by one....<br>
<br>
Ah...how powerless humans are in front of God...<br>
At the moment when everyone was about to be consumed by despair,<br>
A beacon of light shot through the thunder[power]-less youth's body...<br>
<br>
"Awaken...o, you in possession of my courageous arm<br>
You who received thunder[power] of my direct lineage...<br>
A long time ago, I released a spear of thunder to seal the evil god[him], and lost my right arm because of that...<br>
If you release that thunder[power] now, your right arm, and maybe even your entire body will be blown apart...<br>
Are you prepared for that?<br>
...then awaken now, <Right Arm of the Thunder God>!"<br>
<br>
"Even if you cannot bear this power alone,<br>
I'm sure the two of us can do this together!"<br>
<br>
A lightning shot through the dark clouds. The boy and girl who met that day,<br>
With their two emblems overlapping, weave a shining future...<br>
<br>
"....ma...hey, grandma...grandma!"<br>
"What then? What happened after that?"<br>
"Oh...right, sorry."<br>
"Afterwards, the Great Thunder God beat the evil god, right? Right?"<br>
"Hmm...I wonder. It's a story from a long time ago, so I can't quite recall..."<br>
"Eh...that's not fair!"<br>
<br>
...my Grandma said this while smiling. Her eyes were a gentle color.<br>
...I still remember that time as clearly as yesterday.<br>
...I believe...that the genealogy of the Thunder God did not reach an end...<br>
<br>
Things passed on...things not passed on...<br>
Taking in the light that broke through the dark clouds in its wings, the white crow flew on...<br>
<br>
