Shining through the clouds above...
the glorious morning light...
wraps and caresses my body complete.
Although we may not meet...
Although I may be lonely...
I feel a special person 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 mornings of prayer...
will surely reach you one day, I believe.
Forest
Tiara. We'd like you to withdraw.
Do you think I will?
No.
It's terrible that a man would seriously assault a woman like that.
But you still lose anyway.
How persistent.
This is...!
It looks like I somehow survived.
I used my neutralizing power.
I don't think I have to explain, but you have no power now.
Have all the players arrived then?
It's been a while, Kagetsu.
I'm sure you know this, but...
I want the Throne of Yord.
You haven't changed, Tiara.
You seem to have changed a lot, Kagetsu.
I'm still the same...
but I can say that circumstances have changed.
I can't return the Throne of Yord.
Why is that?
Does it have to do with Sarah?
I don't feel like explaining it to you now.
You haven't changed, Tiara.
How dare you!
I will return the Throne of Yord when I am finished with it.
I don't have much time either.
You'll have it in 2 or 3 days.
I don't want to fight you now.
You think I'm just going to let it go?
I want to save Sarah.
That's all.
I won't stand for anyone getting in my way.
Kagetsu!
I can't discuss this with you.
Please wait.
Why are you always so single-minded and self-righteous?!
Tiara, perhaps we should just leave it at that.
A powerless Tiara or Miss Lena would be no match for Kagetsu.
Kagetsu has another power entrusted to him.
The only one here with a power to match his is me.
Unfortunately, under orders from Miss Lena, I cannot harm Kagetsu.
I want to see Sarah.
Is that even possible, Kagetsu?
Keep your mouth shut, Leon.
I don't intend on saying it again.
Can't you keep quiet?
Quiet.
I said, quiet!
Good morning, Tiara. Looks like it's going to be a nice day.
You're really not one to listen, are you?
It's amazing you can munch away like that so early.
I don't think you understand the concept of tact and good grace.
Truth be told, I'm starting to wonder if this is all worth it.
So, how did it go?
What?
About yesterday. You haven't told me yet.
I saw Kagetsu.
I figured on that.
Then, don't ask.
What about the Throne of Yord?
He said I can have it in 2 or 3 days.
So, you just accepted that.
That's not true! You shut up!
I'm serious.
I just want to carry out our assigned duties...
Shut up!
There's no time.
What to do...
Neutralizing power, huh?
Can't even save my sister.
Not with this little toy.
Aumkis.
Good morning!
Good morning.
You brought flowers again?
There's a lot growing in my garden.
Lucky you. Having a garden with all kinds of flowers.
It's a lot of work, you know.
So, God had answered her prayers...
and Daphne's body had turned into the trunk of a laurel tree.
Apollo drew close to the tree and began to weep.
Then, Apollo said...
"May this laurel tree always be mine."
So, Tiara. How are you liking this college?
I'm doing okay, thanks to my friends.
You're so bright and cheerful. You'd be a hit with the guys.
No way.
Any of the guys in college you like?
Huh? Well...
Well, I guess there're no decent guys there.
Tiara, this is just between us, but...
have you ever gone out with a guy before?
Hey, Tiara!
Sorry. I was lost in my own world.
I went out with someone.
Really?!
It's history though.
Come on, tell me all about it!
I'll tell you one day.
You've got to tell me now!
I can't. The story isn't over yet.
What do you mean?
I just can't explain it right now.
Leon.
In this world, we're not allowed to smoke at our age.
Miss Lena.
I understand that there are rules about it.
But I need to have some measure of freedom.
I have some things to think over.
I don't want you ignoring the Elder's orders.
I'm sure you understand that.
However, the fact is that Tiara was sent here as well...
which could mean that the Elder is not satisfied with our work.
If that's the case...
would you assist Tiara if need be?
Miss Lena, please understand that I am your partner.
I am leaving all the decisions up to you.
That's what a partner does.
Don't smoke too much.
Thank you for the caution.
Thank you, Leon.
Even l...
It'll be night soon.
Sorry for the wait.
Here you go, Japolo.
Looks delicious!
No. It is delicious!
I'm really stuffed.
Are you going out tonight?
I don't think so.
Why not?
I don't know.
I just don't feel like it.
Too bad. We don't have much time.
Don't tell me! Kagetsu talked to you, right?
Asked you to wait?
What are you talking about?!
It's been the job of neutralizers to maintain the Throne of Yord.
It's been like that for millennia.
So, to selfishly renege on that responsibility...
is totally reckless!
What other use is there for a neutralizer?
Even the powers are borrowed and not ever their own.
Why don't you just shut up.
Well, excuse me. It's just the way I am.
Anyway, I'm going to wait 'til tomorrow.
Wait?!
Japolo! I don't want to hear anymore from you!
You've blabbed enough for today.
Save the rest for tomorrow.
Otherwise, I'm sending you back to the Guardian World.
All right?
I, Lena, call upon those entities subject to me.
Gather forth and share thy powers with me.
My happiness is also yours.
Appear before this symbol!
Sarah!
Are you all right?
I don't know.
Brother...!
Sarah!
Brother!
Lena! Are you all right?!
I'm okay.
I felt the will of the Throne of Yord.
The will of the Throne of Yord?
Sarah!
Tiara...
you may never see me again.
The Throne of Yord seems to like me.
Help my brother. Help Kagetsu.
Sarah!
Careful in the forest.
Sarah...
I have no one.
I have no one I can protect.
I want to love someone.
I want to protect someone.
I don't want to cry.
I just want to laugh.
I am in love with Kagetsu.
So, you're going out tonight.
I'm going.
Hey, Japolo?
What?
I know that the Throne of Yord is a painting, but...
I've never actually seen the real thing.
I just know that neutralizers are needed...
to control the immense power of the Throne.
Where is Sarah now?
I believe she's in the painting.
In the painting?
You royal types may not know any of this, and...
maybe I'm not supposed to tell you any of this.
But the chosen neutralizer...
completes his or her life within the painting itself.
What? Does that mean Sarah will die?
Die?
Well... I suppose that's one way to look at it.
So, Kagetsu took off with the Throne of Yord...
because he wants to draw Sarah out of the painting and save her.
It won't work.
You knew all about this!
Why didn't you tell me sooner?!
But...
But what?!
The Elder told me to keep my mouth shut.
I suppose Lena knows about this too, and l...
how could l... What should I do?
Tiara! You just return the Throne of Yord to the Guardian World!
I'll just have to...
I'll just have to do it.
You know roughly where the Throne of Yord is, right?
All right. It's open.
It's upstairs.
Kagetsu isn't here.
There! There's the Throne of Yord!
There it is, Tiara!
That's the same scene I see in my dreams!
Well, it seems a little anti-climactic...
but our mission is done once we take this back.
We're done.
Wait!
I want to talk to Sarah.
Tiara!
I, Tiara, call upon those entities subject to me.
Gather forth and share thy powers with me.
My happiness is also yours.
Appear before this symbol!
The source of all the power is the Throne of Yord!
Careful! Who knows what could happen!
Quiet! I have to concentrate!
Sarah's disappeared.
Tiara!
What's going on?!
Kagetsu!
Tiara's been swallowed up by the Throne of Yord!
What?!
Hello, Tiara.
Who are you?
You should know. It's me.
Is Sarah here?
Sarah? Who's that?
I've never heard of that name.
What are you, anyway?
You'll know soon enough.
How about we play?
I don't think I have any choice.
We're a lot alike, you know.
Follow me. Or you'll never find the way out.
This is always so much fun!
Always blaming other people.
You're never in the wrong. That's Tiara for you!
What do you mean?!
There's no way you didn't know Sarah was in the Throne of Yord.
You just pretended you didn't know.
Because it's convenient that way.
You just want to be a good woman.
But I wonder if that'll last.
Try it for real.
You better, or you'll die!
You can do it if you try.
I understand your power now.
But I am stronger.
We'll meet again.
Tiara.
Sarah!
Tiara.
I wanted to see you.
So? Are you at least a bit surprised?
I'll let you know a little secret.
I think I've fallen in love with you.
Tiara.
Please...
I want you to stay here.
Always, by my side.
No...
This is not you.
It's not Kagetsu.
Tiara.
It's not... No...
Tiara!
Let go of Tiara!
How dare you.
Here!
Where's Sarah?!
Well, well. You're awfully greedy.
Really...
I want Sarah back!
How scary...
I want my sister back.
Kagetsu!
You've worked so hard to get this far.
What a waste.
You're going to learn your lesson now!
Well, well...
Shall I make it a little easier for you?
Kagetsu!
This is my playground.
Everything here is subject to me.
Come on, Kagetsu!
You're going to stay here too, Tiara.
We can be good friends!
And Sarah too!
Change Kagetsu back to what he was!
That all depends on you.
It's not good, Tiara...!
She's got... No...!
Kagetsu!
Shut up!
Stop it!
What a bothersome man.
Well, this is the end.
It's all your fault.
Please stop this now.
Sarah!
Tiara...
Take care of my brother.
Sarah!
Sarah! I'll come and save you! Wait for me!
Tiara.
The stone of fate that I happened upon at my birth...
guides people...
through happiness and sadness.
If I open my hand and cast it away, will something change?
Or, would I just get lost if I lose the rock?
I will be all right, even if we're just friends.
The warmth and kindness that I felt...
on the day that I fell in love.
Even if it were to end at that...
I will cherish it forever.
But I am still in love.
I will never forget.
Please don't leave me alone...
in that forest of memories.
I cry.
Where are you going?
