The following contains minor spoilers from the manhwa of The Beginning After The End.
Towards the finale of episode 3 of “The Beginning After The End”, we encounter and subsequently experience a heart-wrenching farewell scene involving the character Sylvia. Although their acquaintance was brief, Arthur had formed an intense connection with her.
Sylvia had a wonderful time with Arthur, lingering past the usual moment to see him off due to their strong bond. Before they said goodbye, Sylvia imparted a secret ability onto Arthur; its real essence might not become apparent in the anime right away. What exactly is this power and how will it impact Arthur in the future remains to be seen.
Sylvia and Arthur Part Ways
Arthur’s Tearful Goodbye

Following what appears to be Sylvia preventing Arthur from falling off a cliff (off-screen), these two individuals encounter each other for the first time. In this meeting, Sylvia imparts knowledge about mana and the proper application of power to young Arthur. Over an extended period of time, Sylvia constructs a portal to return Arthur home, all while their relationship deepens and they establish a strong bond.
Yet, despite the budding camaraderie they shared, their bond proved temporary. Sylvia, gravely injured and evading unidentified adversaries, was discovered by one such enemy. In a desperate bid for survival, she utilized her remaining strength to repel the attacker, simultaneously creating an opportunity for Arthur to flee. As their time together neared its end, Sylvia disclosed her true nature as a dragon-like being and imparted once more the lessons of compassion and defending what truly matters to Arthur before he departed.
What’s your take on this? Does my new appearance remind you of me, Sylvia?” – Sylvia to Arthur after revealing her true form.
Arthur ponders over the impact their shared time has had on him. To his astonishment, he discovers a strong emotional bond forming within him toward Sylvia, due to her assistance and guidance.
It makes no difference to me if you’re a dragon or a monster, Sylvia. To me, you’re family. And that means I care deeply for you,” said Arthur as he bid farewell to Sylvia.
In simpler terms, Sylvia was thrilled when he referred to her as his grandmother. She requested him to clarify, which he gladly did with a cheerful tone. He was thanked by her and then asked to leave. Later on, Sylvia made the selfless decision to give up her life so that Arthur could continue living after her.
Sylvia’s Gifts
Arthur Inherits Her Beast Will

Yet, just prior to their separation, Sylvia gives Arthur various favors, and then, mysteriously, he vanishes through a magical doorway.
“Arthur. I have a few gifts for you.” -Sylvia before bidding Arthur farewell.
1. Initially, there’s an egg that will break open at a suitable point in the narrative. In the comic book (manhwa), Arthur decides to name this hatchling Sylvie, inspired by Sylvia. Over time, Sylvie transforms into Arthur’s magical companion, or mana beast bond.
2. The second present is subtler. Upon touching noses with Arthur, Sylvia causes intriguing markings to mysteriously appear on his body.
“What is this?” -Arthur
“You’ll know… in time.” -Sylvia
Sylvia conceals the reason behind the gifts she gives Arthur, but the tattoos suggest that she’s imparted her beastly essence onto him. Typically, a mana beast passes its power to its descendants, yet in this unique scenario, Sylvia selected Arthur as the bearer of her legacy. As Arthur gains more control over his mana core, he will have the ability to access this beastly essence and unleash Sylvia’s powers.
Initially, managing the various stages of the beast’s power will prove challenging for Arthur. Consequently, he chooses to save its deployment as a last resort or strategic advantage. Notably, there are instances where other individuals, including humans, harness a similar potency. Those who utilize the power of beast wills in battle are recognized as beast tamers. Interestingly, Arthur’s proficiency with a beast will surpasses that of others, becoming an extraordinary and unmatched skill. As his command over this newfound power grows stronger, he gains the ability to influence time and amplify his magical prowess.
Currently, Arthur finds himself in an unfamiliar woodland, with many lessons yet to be learned as he ventures forth on his quest to reunite with his family and return home in this fresh start. He’s pledged to seize each moment, and he steadily evolves, discovering empathy – a feeling he never encountered during his reign as King Grey in “The Beginning After The End.
The Beginning After the End can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
