The Moon Will Sing

Cecil's journey began in Oceanside, when the associate of the Syndrian Trade Company in Oceanside, R(?), enlisted the help of local adventurers to deal with a Cerberus monster(?) that had begun terrorizing the small town. During this job, Cecil met Vex, a white beast who would eventually become Cecil's lifelong partner. Once the two dealt with the monster and after being rewarded for their efforts, Cecil and Vex decided to adventure into this new and unfamiliar world together.

Departing west from Oceanside, the first stop the adventurers made was a small fucking village of some kind(?). Despite not speaking the language of the local population, Cecil entered a musical duel with the local talent. After the competition, Cecil spent the rest of the stay teaching a young boy how to perfect his lute playing.

While traveling north from the village, Cecil and Vex discovered a lake with treasure at the bottom of it. Their spoils included an old sword, which, upon resting overnight, had mysterious de-rusted. As the two ventured on the coast, Vex heard the sword ask him: "Why won't you use me?", prompting him to throw the sword into the ocean with no hesitation.
