Dialogue

1. Click to read the message

"To the Pretender Who Claims To Be A Member of the Hongmoon Clan
You are a liar! All of the Hongmoon students were killed in Jinsoyun's attack. Your lies bring shame upon Master Hong and will not go unpunished! I challenge you to meet me in the Abandoned Well. It is there that we shall see if you are truly one of Master Hong's students.
P.S. Once you set foot in my lair, there's no turning back. So if you have other business in the Abandoned Well, do that first!"

2. Find the Masked Hongmoon in the Abandoned Well

3. Talk to the Masked Hongmoon

"It's about time you showed up. You don't look like a big, bad warrior to me!"

"I'm not going to let some clumsy imposter like you disgrace the Hongmoon School!"

4. Counter with Decoy and then use Heart Stab while in Stealth.

"Come at me! You should know how to pull off the Decoy / Heart Stab Combo if you're truly an Assassin trained in the Hongmoon Arts!

"Don't tell me you don't know how to use the Decoy / Heart Stab Combo?"

"You call that an attack? Are you even trying?"

Cutscene

Masked Hongmoon:

"Not too shabby for a Hongmoon rookie!

Still confused, little Cricket?

It's me, Brother Hajoon!

Surprise! Right?

The mountains I had to move to get this far! Whew.

It would take us all night and then some to talk about my heroics.

And you've been pretty busy with the hero stuff, too! Haha."

Dialogue

5. Talk to Hajoon inside the [[Abandoned Well]

"Haha, Cricket. I fooled you, right?"

"Don't act so surprised. It'd take more than a couple of jerks in snakeskin to take me out."

Is that really you, brother?

"No, I'm a ghost. I'm come back to haunt you. OooooOOOOooo! In all seriousness, it's good to see you're still among the living. So many friends... Master Hong... All gone. But we can't stop to mourn now. We have too much work to do. You need to train. A lot. If we both went after Jinsoyun and her cronies now, we wouldn't stand a chance. You must travel the Path of Hongmoon to defeat her. Lucky for you, I'm an expert Assassin trainer. You may not know your appel from a feint, but you will when I get through with you. That's enough for today. But be ready to go when I contact you next. I'll send a message when it's safe to meet. Can't be too careful with those freaks on the loose. Oh, and one more thing, I've sealed the entrance to all our Training Rooms with a charm. The only way out is by this portal or a Dragon Pulse."

"Until next time, Cricket!"

"You are the last spark of the fading Hongmoon Clan. And I will be the one to turn that spark into flame!"
