After many courtships and other affairs Adrale decided to take Erek as her husband and soon became with child who they name Ivan. Erek and Adrale traveled through the gates to eventually wind up into Tsukiyomi where Adrale began studying channeling magic and how it differs from her home world magic. They made friends with the Wolf clan of Hotei and also a sword smith Kaito Roukan. When Ivan was about two years of age they both were called back to their homeworlds for important meetings, decided to leave Ivan there for a while until the meetings were done and return, but they never returned. After a few years of being raised by Kaito and the Roukan family they decided to adopt Ivan and for him to become apart of the family .
