Naraen is member of the Yamato Empress’s secret security detail - the OWLS. Loyal only to the Empress, this secretive service lurks in the shadows, keeping the “true” royal bloodline alive during the Decade of Chaos when the old island empire fell apart. Unlike the imperial guards, the OWLS do not belong to the government, but are maintained by the Hundred Eyes Alliance - a loose league of powerful notables who balance the country’s various factions. Yuma, codenamed Naraen, is Yuto’s impulsive little brother. A troublemaker who frequently rebelled against his elders, Yuma looked up only to his older brother, who awed him with his skills and character. In fact, Yuma was sent to the OWLS because only Yuto could keep this wild one in check. The secretive nature of the OWLS did not sit well with Yuma, and soon he was banished for breaking too many rules. However, fate reunited the brothers when the assassination attempts on the Empress began to unfold into a much larger conspiracy. The Empress needed capable and trustworthy allies, and the two brothers, though sometimes at odds, are godly when paired together in battle.
