HALF BLOODS BORN BETWEEN A SARAM AND A NEANTHAL

THEIR BLOOD IS PURPLE

AND ARE CONSIDERED CURSED BEINGS IN ARTHDAL

In Arthdal, there was a hidden prophecy from long ago.

The prophecy said three children who each symbolize sword, bell, and mirror

will be born at the same time and bring this world to an end.

The children of the prophecy were Eunseom, Tanya, and Saya.

Eunseom and Saya were twins and they were Igutus.

Their mother, Asa Hon,

fought against Tagon who tried to annihilate Neanthals and protected them.

She fell in love with one of them and gave birth to twin Igutus.

But in the end, she lost her husband, Ragaz, to Tagon.

Even Saya, one of the twins, was taken away by Tagon.

Asa Hon ran away with Eunseom

and Eunseom met another child of the prophecy,

Tanya, a girl from the Wahan Tribe.

Saya, who was taken away by Tagon, grew up in a civilization called Arthdal.

Eunseom and Tanya,

unaware of what the prophecy about them even means,

grew up as members of the Wahan Tribe in nature.

Then one day,

Arthdal invaded the Wahan Tribe.

A lot of people of the Wahan Tribe were massacred.

But even more people were taken to Arthdal as slaves.

Tanya became Arthdal's slave

and Eunseom barely managed to escape.

He promised to come back to save Tanya and the Wahan Tribe.

Time passed by,

and Tagon's tyranny in Arthdal got worse.

To hide that he was an Igutu himself,

Tagon killed a lot of people.

And now,

every child of the prophecy had become a hero.

Tanya was no longer a slave.

She became the high priest of Arthdal.

Eunseom became Inaishingi, the leader of the Ago Tribe.

Saya became the commander of Arthdal.

However...

Tanya still didn't know whether Eunseom was alive or dead

and Saya didn't know that his lost brother was the head of the enemy army.

Eunseom didn't even know that he had a long lost twin brother.

Also, they still didn't know

what the prophecy that said they would end this world truly meant.

But they will meet the fate that the prophecy is pointing toward.

WEAK ONES

The history of wind, stars, and blood.

I record the chronicle of Arthdal Kingdom.

Arthdal's calendar.

Year of the lazy bear.

The union ended and Tagon became the king.

I will conquer the east!

Let us conquer the Ago Tribe!

Conquer the Ago Tribe!

Let's conquer!

Let's conquer!

However, the conquest of the Ago Tribe

was stopped by an unexpected enemy.

Year of the crouching chicken.

The Ggachinol and the Bato Tribes

plotted revenge against Tagon and rebelled.

The fierce battle continued for several years.

Year of the wise rat, month of the tiger.

In the end, King Tagon went to fight in the battle himself.

KING OF ARTHDAL

We got him.

Your long-lasting rebellion has finally come to an end.

Oraha of Ggachinol.

HEAD OF A TRIBE

My King, you ended the Ggachinol Tribe's rebellion.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

What's left now was the Bato Tribe by the Notsan River

and the reincarnation of Inaishingi

who unified 30 clans of the Ago Tribe and took over the Agoha Forest.

He was Eunseom.

Inaishingi is here

Inaishingi is here

Stone walls will collapse

Homes will be ruined

The blue flame rages like a storm

They grew up in war and rebellion, so these kids don't know fear.

Still, they must be afraid of Inaishingi judging from the lyrics.

AGO TRIBE'S HERO WHO DEFEATED ARAMUN HAESULLA 200 YEARS AGO

Right across the Notsan River over there is the land of the Ago Tribe.

It stands to reason that the notoriety of Inaishingi reached this land.

That notoriety will end now, thanks to you.

Thanks for your hard work.

I do this for my business,

but Oraha of the Bato Tribe made a big decision.

Probably because he's tired of the long rebellion.

The amazing one is Lord Saya.

He came up with a plan

to get rid of Inaishingi and the Bato Tribe at once.

Do you really think Inaishingi will fall for it?

The Ago Tribe desperately needs the Bato Tribe's help.

He'll definitely come.

I heard nobody knows Inaishingi's face except the Ago Tribe.

It's not just his face.

What his actual name is, where he's from.

Everything is unknown.

We just know that he is the reincarnation of Inaishingi.

Have you really seen Inaishingi's face?

Yes, it's a face I'll never forget.

We need to make him take off that ugly visor

and show his face today.

If Lord Saya sees his face...

he'll be...

very surprised.

NOTSAN RIVER

BATO TRIBE'S BASE

Inaishingi is coming.

In the name of Mihaje,

I welcome Inaishingi of the Ago Tribe.

Garutum Oraha, the father of the Bato Tribe.

Inaishingi expresses his deep gratitude at your invitation.

Please.

HEAD OF THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION

Get ready.

Inaishingi.

Congratulations on uniting Ago for the first time in 200 years.

Are you going to cross the Notsan River and fight Arthdal?

Of course.

Inaishingi here will get back the old land of Ago...

FOUNDER OF ARTHDAL UNION, LEGENDARY HERO OF ARTHDAL

...that Aramun Haesulla took away.

Yes. Since we, the Bato Tribe, joined the Ago Union,

it will definitely happen.

I heard your fathers and elders were brutally murdered by Tagon.

Once we enter Arthdal,

I'll cut off Tagon's head and give it to you, Oraha.

I appreciate it.

The Bato Tribe and the Ago Tribe have become brothers now.

Let's have a drink of alliance.

- Bring it here. - Yes, Oraha.

I can't believe you're giving me such a precious thing.

Here.

Now.

We Bato and Ago

haven't interacted for a long time with the Notsan River between us.

But in the year of the hungry snake, we have become brothers.

The arrow of Mihaje and the waterfall of Ago

will bless us today.

You said you'd cut off...

Tagon's neck.

Isn't the Ago Tribe's goal getting back their old land?

Are you aiming for Arthdal too?

Are you capable of that?

What are you doing?

You're being disrespectful.

Since you're from Arthdal,

you must know the power of the civilization.

Since you came from Gitbadak, you must know how scary the world is.

DEEPEST PART OF THE JEWEL MINE

How can you have...

such an absurd idea, Inaishingi?

LEADER OF THE AGO UNION, THE REINCARNATION OF INAISHINGI

It really was you.

I heard the mediator was a merchant.

I spared your life

and with the jewels you stole from Ipsaeng,

you became a successful merchant

for this?

Syoreujagin.

How are those jewels Ipsaeng's? It's mine.

You must've been scared, seeing how you changed clothes.

But you can't leave here alive anyway.

I see.

There must be tons of soldiers outside.

Gosh.

I can't tell whether I would be alive or dead by the end of the day.

Why just point it at me?

Just cut me.

Because you think you'll die too if you kill me?

You're exchanging your life with Inaishingi's.

Isn't that...

an honor?

In your insignificant life,

the chance to kill Inaishingi has come.

You will become

the man who killed Inaishingi.

Countless songs written after you will be sung.

The song of a legendary warrior will be sung

in Arthdal across the Notsan River,

from Arthdal to White Peak Mountain,

and Atturad beyond White Peak Mountain.

Why are you hesitating?

You can't do it?

Then there will be no song.

What about this?

Do you know the swallow tail spell?

I'm not a danggeuri...

A SHAMAN

...but I'll try.

Now.
