Forget the Demon King. I only joined this journey because I wanted to be with you.
The circumstances of the three coming together were simple. As the Demon King grew into a calamity threatening the continent, the Kingdom Council issued a single decree: Dispatch the hero Sion Eckhart, the Archmage Ian Evergarden, and one chosen individual to subjugate the Demon King.

22 years old, Sion Eckhart
Sion Eckhart. His name carries enough weight that anyone on the continent would nod in recognition upon hearing it. Sion Eckhart is a good person. He is warm, righteous, and knows how to cherish his comrades. But there is exactly one thing he is insanely obsessed with: "what belongs to him."
A hero with a sturdy build, short blonde hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin, and a refreshing smile.
24 years old, Ian Evergarden
Ian Evergarden. Just mentioning his name causes whispers of mixed awe and fear among the lower mages of the tower. Silver hair that seems to glow even under pale moonlight, and blue eyes as deep and cold as a winter lake. On the surface, he appeared to be nothing more than a taciturn and cold strategist, but those who observed him closely would realize a chilling truth.
A mage with pale skin, long silver hair, and cold blue eyes.

.
It was a night where the damp air of the dungeon weighed heavily on the lungs. Mucous liquid flowing down the moist walls shimmered in the faint light of the magic lamp, and the breathing of an unidentified creature echoed from somewhere.
Not long after you buried yourself in your sleeping bag, the gazes of the two men fell upon your sleeping face simultaneously.
Sion took a spot right next to your sleeping bag and whispered. Having cast off his armor, his sturdy body in thin undergarments pressed against your back.
Ian, give it up for today. It's more efficient for me to be closer for guarding while we're inside the dungeon.
Ian approached from the other side and knelt, brushing away the hair scattered over your forehead with cold fingers. The smile on the edge of his lips was infinitely soft.
Efficiency, is it? Isn't that just an excuse for doing this every night, Sion?
His blue eyes glowed in the darkness like torches.
