Shining through the clouds above, the glorious morning light,

which wraps and caresses my body completely.

Although we may not meet,

although I may be lonely,
I feel a special person is watching over me.

If only I can bear the countless mornings of prayer,

a true happiness will finally come to me.

The tears that I shed on those countless mornings of prayer...

will somehow reach you someday, I believe.

Tiara-sama, could you please back down from this?
Do you really expect me to?
I don't.
It's funny how a man can fight a girl so seriously...
but still can't win.
You're so persistent!
This is...
Seems like I've survived.
I've used my neutralizing powers.
I don't think I need to explain, but you won't be able to use your powers.
So all the actors are on stage now.
It's been a long time, Kagetsu.
I suppose you know, but I want the Throne of Yord back.
You haven't changed, Tiara.
But you have, Kagetsu.
I haven't changed, but I must say my circumstances have.
I can't give back the Throne of Yord.
Why?! Is Sara involved?
I can't explain at the moment.
You haven't changed, Tiara.
What?!
I'll give it back as soon as I'm done with it.
I haven't got much time.
It'll take only 2 or 3 days.
I don't want to fight you.
Did you think I'd agree to that and go home?
I want to save Sara, that's all.
I won't permit anyone to get in the way.
Kagetsu!
I don't intend to negotiate.
So please, be patient.
Why are you always so stubborn and monopolizing?!
Tiara-sama, why don't you just let it be.
Without your powers, you both are no match for Kagetsu-sama.
Kagetsu-sama has been entrusted with a power,
and I am the only one here able to overcome him.
Unfortunately, I have orders from Lena-sama not to harm Kagetsu-sama.
I want to see Sara.
Can you do it, Kagetsu-sama?
Be quiet, Leon.
I won't repeat myself.
Will you be quiet...
be quiet...
I said BE QUIET!
Good morning, Tiara. I think today's going to be a fine day.
You really are the type that doesn't listen to people.
How can you eat like that before dawn?
I don't think the word "delicacy" exists in your head.
The truth is I've half given up on you.
So, how did it go?
How did what go?
You haven't told me anything about what happened last night.
I saw Kagetsu.
Yeah, I thought as much.
Then don't ask.
And? The Throne of Yord?
He said he'd give it back in a couple of days.
You agreed to that and came back?!
I didn't agree, so stop pestering me.
I'm not being a pest!
I'm just trying to do the job I've been given...
BE QUIET!
There's no time.
What can I do?
Neutralizing power...
I can't even save my sister with it.
In exchange for a toy like this...
Aumkis!
Morning!
Good morning.
You've brought flowers again?
All sorts come up in my garden.
How nice to have a garden that's always blooming.
It's a lot of work as well.
God had heard her prayer,
and Daphne's body changed into a laurel tree.
Apollo drew close to the tree and wept.
And Apollo said, "Then at least be my laurel tree".
How is it Tiara? Got used to school yet?
I think I've managed.
The boys seem to like you 'cause you're so cheerful.
No way.
Have you found a guy you're interested in?
I know. We haven't got much choice in our class.
Hey Tiara, just between us, but have you ever dated a boy before?
Hey, Tiara?
Oh, sorry. I was in my own little world.
I used to see someone.
Really?
It's all in the past now.
Do you mind if I ask?
I'll tell you one day.
Please tell me now.
No, no. The story hasn't finished yet.
What does that mean?
That's what I can't explain.
Leon, I think in this world we are not allowed to smoke at our age.
Lena-sama...
I know the rules, but I do need some freedom.
I have some things to think over.
I am not disobeying the Elder's orders.
You do understand that, Leon?
But doesn't the fact that Tiara-sama was sent over,
mean the Elder is unsatisfied with our work?
If that is the case, will you go and assist Tiara?
Lena-sama, pardon me saying so, but I am your partner.
I entrust you to make all the decisions.
That is what a partner does.
Don't smoke too much.
Thank you for your advice.
Thank you, Leon...
I too am....
Night is here again.
Japolo, here you go! Dig in.
Mmmm. Looks good!
It doesn't just "look good", it is good.
I'm stuffed.
So, aren't you going out tonight?
I'll leave it tonight.
Why?
Well I.... don't feel like it.
Come on. We haven't got that much time.
Oh, I bet Kagetsu said something to you like,
"Please wait a while".
Of course he didn't.
Strictly speaking, neutralizers are naturally expected to stabilize the Throne of Yord.
It's been like that for thousands of years!
To just oppose that and steal it away, what is he thinking?
Most of the time, neutralizers are useless.
Even their powers are entrusted to them, they're not really theirs...
You're such a whiner.
Sorry, that's how I am!
Anyway, I'll wait 'till tomorrow.
Wait?
Japolo, I'm not going to let you say another word.
You've said enough today.
Please keep the rest for tomorrow.
Or else I'll send you back to the Guardian World!
Good?!
Those who are with me, come forth.
Come forth for I command thee to lend me your powers.
My happiness is with thee.
I command thee to appear before this symbol!
Sara...
Is she all right?
I don't know.
Nii-san...
Sara!
Nii-san...
Are you all right, Lena?
Yes...
I felt the Throne of Yord's will.
Its "will"?
Sara.
Tiara, I don't think I'll be able to meet you.
The Throne of Yord has taken a liking to me....
My brother... Please help Kagetsu.
Sara!
Beware of the forest.
Sara.
I don't have anyone.
I can't protect anyone.
I want to love someone.
I want to protect someone.
I don't want to cry.
I want to...
...laugh.
I love Kagetsu.
One of the paintings that show the moment of Daphne's metamorphosis is Bellini's....
So, you're going out tonight?
Yes.
Hey, Japolo...
Yeah?
I know the Throne of Yord is a painting, but I've never seen the real thing.
I only know that neutalizers are necessary to control it's immense power.
Where is Sara now?
As far as I know, in the painting.
In the painting?
I don't suppose you people of royalty know,
or if I, as a partner should even be telling you this,
but the chosen neutralizer completes their life with the painting.
No way, does that mean Sara's going to die?
Die...
Hmmm, well... you could say that from a certain point of view....
Then Kagetsu stole the Throne of Yord to...
He's trying to save Sara from the Throne of Yord, though it's no use.
You knew it all the time!
Why didn't you tell me this?!
Well...
Well?!
The Elder forbid me to talk of it...
Lena knows everything, that's why...
and I,
but what can I...
Tiara.
Your mission is to take the Throne of Yord back to the Guardian World.
I have to... I'll have to do it.
You know roughly where the Throne of Yord is?
Yes.
There, it's open.
Up there.
Kagetsu's not here.
There! The Throne of Yord!
It's here, Tiara.
That's the same scenery as in my dreams.
Hurry.
That was a bit easy, but our mission's over if we take this back.
It's the end of this story.
Wait.
I'll try and talk to Sara.
Tiara!
Those who are with me, come forth.
Come forth for I command thee to lend me your powers.
My happiness is with thee.
I command thee to appear before this symbol!
The Throne of Yord is the origin of all power.
Be careful, you don't know what could happen.
Be quiet, I'm concentrating!
Sara's gone.
Tiara!
What are you doing?
Kagetsu, um, Tiara's...
been taken by the Throne of Yord.
W-What?!
Hello, Tiara.
Who are you?
It's me, of course.
Isn't Sara here?
Sara? Who's that?
Never heard of her before.
Who are you?
You'll know soon enough.
Shall we play a little?
Do I have a choice?
I think we're going to do just fine.
Chase me, or else you'll never find the exit...
It's always fun playing games.
You always blame others, you're never wrong.
That's Tiara, right?
What are you saying?
There's no way you didn't know that Sara was trapped in the Throne of Yord.
You just didn't want to admit it,
because it's easier that way.
You just want to be the good girl,
but I wonder if that would work?
You better get serious, or else you'll die.
You can do it if you try.
I've ascertained your strength.
I'm stronger than you.
I'll see you again.
Tiara.
Sara!
Tiara.
I've wanted to see you.
Well?
Did I surprise you a little?
I'll let you know a little bit of the truth...
I think I'm starting to like you.
Tiara.
Please, stay here.
Always be with me.
You're... not... Kagetsu.
Tiara.
don't... no... ah...
Tiara!
Let go of her.
Well... here.
Take her!
Where's Sara?
Well, well. You're quite greedy.
Give Sara back!
How scary.
Give back my little sister.
Kagetsu.
Seem like you've used all your energy just to come here.
Poor thing, know your place!
Oh dear...
Shall I relieve you of your suffering?
Kagetsu!
This is my playground.
There is nothing I can't do.
K-Kagetsu, hold on.
Tiara, you're staying here.
I think we'll become good friends.
Of course, Sara will be with us, too.
Turn him back to normal!
That depends on you.
No... T-Tiara... don't...!
She's got... No...!
Kagetsu!
Silence!
STOP IT!
Such an annoying man.
This is the end.
This is your fault, Tiara.
Please stop this.
Sara!
Tiara...
take care of my brother.
Sara!
Sara! I'll save you.
Wait for me!
Tiara.
