**Alive** is the seventh episode of the 1st Season of the *GenVera's Universe* series. It uses the Neffex's song of the same name.

*Alive* combines the main storyline with that of Ethan, keeper of the Stone of Cold Fire, begun in Defeat the Night and recounts the adventures of the aforementioned hero after leaving Busa's and Nate's Bar.

## Synopsis

After the events shown in "Believe", Ethan and the others tended to the wounded Nate and repaired all the damage done by Kamefaros, a few days later Ethan embarks on a journey where something more than the last time was waiting for him.

## Plot

The video begins with a demonstration of the areas surrounding Busa's and Nate's bar, with Busa, Ethan and Jeff sitting silently in the room, waiting for Nate to regain consciousness and wake up.

Suddenly, Nate regains consciousness from his nightmare and tries to stand up, but the pain prevents him from doing so and he continues to lie down. Busa runs up to him to check on his well-being and to help him.

Seeing this, Ethan with a clear conscience sets off for the Upper World, along with a iron saber presented by the bartenders.
The demon-hunter Jeff, as well as the owners of the bar: Busa and the wounded Nate, followed Ethan with a glance as he walked leisurely, and with a smile on his face, in his chosen direction.

After a while of walking through the forest, he crossed the boundary of the Enchanted forest, where, through the crowns of the trees, he saw a pillar of explosion and out of curiosity ran to see what had caused it.

Meanwhile, in the glade of the Enchanted forest, the traveling half-demon Luminor is attacked by a Magmatical demon that he has to fight off.
Blocking the blows with Ethan's Garnet saber found in the ashes of Naftali village, Luminor, struggling to hold back the onslaught of the enemy, is struck and falls to the ground.
Gathered, he has to dodge the magical spikes that the Magmatical demon was so diligently shooting at Luminor.

Eventually, after hitting the Magmatical demon a few more times, Luminor loses his weapon and switches to a fist fight, but miscalculating his strength - he gets hit and thrown back again by the Magmatical demon. Luminor's thrown body hits Ethan, who runs out into the clearing, and the two travelers end up on the ground.

Luminor comes to his senses first, and seeing the Garnet saber flying, in the direction of the other traveler, pushes him away from the place where he was sitting, thereby saving Ethan's life.

In turn, Ethan, who recognized his saber in Luminor's weapon, after analyzing the situation, drew conclusions from what he saw and decided to help him deal with the Magmatical demon.

But it wasn't as simple as that: the demon grew tentacles out of itself, plunged them into the ground, and released them from the ground near his dazed opponents, thus scattering them to the sides.

Though they landed well, due to Ethan's extremely high level of anger caused by the Magmatical demon's actions, the Stone of Cold Fire began to affect his mind, troubling Luminor, but Ethan, through the knowledge gained from the wither book, manages to curb the artifact and reactivate and apply its power. Luminor has also activated his demonic powers, amplifying his physical characteristics.

With the two of them amplified, they attacked the Magmatical demon from two sides.
While Ethan distracted the demon from the front, Luminor tried to overpower the demon from behind, but was forced to dodge the demonic spike.

While the Magmatical demon knocked Ethan to the ground, Luminor attacked his enemy again, but from the front, thus getting hit with a pyromantic beam and falling down.

At this point, Ethan got up and tried to attack the demon from the side. He also tries to dodge the attack by teleporting, blocking and slashing at it with his tentacles, but Ethan stabs the demon in the face, then turns his arm into ice and shatters it into pieces, stunning his enemy.

When Luminor rises, he charges at the stunned demon and pierces his head with the Garnet saber, but he detonated, dealing serious damage to the warrior. Luminor is knocked back by the blast wave and passes out.

Ethan rushes to his aid, lifting the half-demon's body, his weapon and trying to drag his ally to safety. However, two other travelers emerge from the thicket of the Enchanted forest: Enderina and Gen, whose story they have yet to learn, which leaves Ethan and the two in shock.
