Evergrace II

*"You’ll be a big, strong grown-up... Who’ll never lose to a silly mark like that."* A two-part comic prequel to Fromsoftware's PS2 RPG series, Evergrace. The Crest. A mysterious mark that has been on the back of Darius's right hand ever since he was young. Like many others in his village of Solta, he believes it to be a cursed mark - and with good reason. In one swoop, his family was assassinated and his childhood friend disappeared, feared dead. Years down the road, he embarks on a revenge-driven journey to join the Solta army. But he's not alone. There's the gentle and thoughtful Ruyan, who grew up alongside the orphaned Darius, training in swordplay day in day out. And there's Faeana, a plucky-if-mysterious amnesiac that the two found in ominous circumstances. Along their journey, the three stumble across a grove of mysterious Billiana trees, and are ambushed by otherworldly monsters called *Mutants.* At that moment, the Crest's powers drive Darius down another turn for the worse... Can these two break Darius free from the chains of his memories?
