You know... if it weren't for you, Terra would still be here."- Aaron Before Aaron was the kind protector well known, he was a soldier in constant battle against the Jade Phantasm. When the Phantasm was relieved of his sword, Aaron found himself on a journey to mend his wounds. Living in peace in the mountains with a family to call his own, Kastane's return afflicted Aaron with reminders of what once was. Kastane notices this trouble and attempts to rid the curse once and for all, but Aaron fails to understand the true source of his anger.
