Aran, do you hear me?

Finally! Just like the old times, I can talk to you directly. Now that you have the ability to hear me, there's only one more thing you'll need to learn…

Just come to [map 140000000] first. I'll give you the details once you get here.

We spent a few hundred years apart thanks to the Black Mage, and it was hard to recognize you when you first emerged from the ice. You weren't the hero I remembered; instead, you were just another person who couldn't even handle the Giant Polearm. Worst of all, you didn't even remember me. Unforgivable.

But as time went by, you changed. You diligently leveled up, and I saw that you were trying your hardest to remember me. That's when I knew... You may have drastically changed, but you're still Aran. The old you is still inside.

You may have yet to retrieve all your memories, but your abilities are almost on par with your old self, I'd say. As proof, there's a skill that you can now use, and that's the reason why I brought you here.

The skill's called Hero's Echo. It's the perfect skill for someone with the role of the protector, which is exactly what you were when you faced the Black Mage. I want you to put that power to good use again, because its perfect for you.
