Is the compression rate too high?
This is about right.
Quite well done, for a first try.
He's shocked by his unsightly figure.
It's understandable.
Il Um...
Eluiola Kilu Am Saius.
Good. Very well.
You pass.
So far, yes.
What will be his name, my daughter?
What is your partner's name?
Graham...
The Guardian World
The summoning ceremony seems to have gone smoothly, Tiara.
Yes. Thank you.
The real test is about to begin.
Whether Graham becomes your true partner or not is up to you.
You do know what happens...
if the contract is not fulfilled?
This generous honor that you have bestowed upon me...
will not go to waste.
Good. I have high hopes for you.
No spirit has taken hold of the body that is presented here.
Many formless entities thus have their eyes on it.
As long as we are here, none will approach this form.
It is difficult to predict what could happen during the summons.
You must prepare your spirit.
Yes.
So that's your move, huh?
Then, I'll just have to...
Tiara.
Tiara?
Huh? What?
Your go.
Oh, right...
This is strange.
Oh?
This wasn't how I played it.
Really?
Really!
Really? Can you really say that with confidence?
I think your feelings are distracted elsewhere, Tiara.
Not true.
Then what was your move?
Well...
Let's see...
I'm sure it was like that...
But then you're in check.
You're really here.
Yeah, that's right! There!
I knew it! You're not fair!
You shouldn't let yourself get distracted.
Brother?
What is it, Sara?
Tiara says she wants to play you.
Wait a minute, Sara!
She's gotten better.
Good luck, Tiara.
Sara...!
I'll make some tea.
What would you like, Tiara?
I'll have thyme.
And I figure brother will have chamomile?
Yeah, thanks.
All right.
I'll set it up, all right?
Uh, sure...!
I'm sorry.
How do you feel?
I'm all right, brother.
I'm sorry. Too much excitement.
I suppose.
But now you and Tiara are alone by yourselves.
You should sleep for awhile.
Am Telesural Fontes.
Turn your ear to hear my voice.
Feel the brightness of my spirit.
Melure Esnas...
Elde Dem Mes Felnius.
Answer my question.
Well...
I see. That must've been tough.
I'm absolutely terrified.
I don't know what to do.
It was summoned from a completely different world.
It's understandable.
Is that how it has to be?
For us, anyway.
But I don't know about him.
It was pulled out of its world with force...
and then given a completely different form.
It's unreasonable.
Sorry.
I'm not saying you're at fault.
Graham is my first partner.
I'll treat him well, and I want us to get along.
Is that a summoning stone?
Yeah.
Those from our past lend me their power.
I was told I couldn't do it on my own.
Magic Users of our past...
Aren't you the youngest ever to take on a partner?
But you have power too.
My power is something that's borrowed.
It's not the same.
Power...
Power, huh...
It's not something that's entrusted to anyone.
Especially your kind of power.
I guess I'll just have to try harder.
Who?
Who? But, what does she mean?
You are?
Who? What could that be about?
It's me.
You're beautiful.
Just wonderful.
Then, how about...
You're in check.
I lost.
That's five in a row for me.
You just wait.
You've gotten better, Lena.
A match for my brother?
I did beat him.
When?
Just once.
How often did you play?
That's a secret.
Oh, yes...
it's almost festival time.
That's right.
There's Tiara.
Oh.
Well, I'd better get going.
Oh, leave that. I'll do it later.
Thank you for the tea.
Lena...
The three of us should talk sometime.
Sure. See you.
It's not what you think.
She has it tough now. She's a bit stressed out.
Especially with me.
-See you. -Lena?
Thanks always for the flowers.
You're welcome.
Tiara.
What were you doing here?
I just brought some flowers.
Really?
What about you?
Well, I was just...
Sara hasn't been herself lately.
I wonder if something's bothering her.
Do you know?
I know you've been having a tough time...
but Sara needs...
Stop it! What would you know anyway?
I'm going home.
Congratulations about your partner, Tiara.
I've been remiss.
We have high hopes for you.
Good luck.
Lena...!
Stop it!
I won't allow you to touch my partner.
Leave.
How forthright you are.
However, you should look down at your feet.
It won't work. I am your shadow.
We don't need anybody else.
We are two, but one.
Let's get along.
She's come this far.
This is a problem only she can solve herself.
That incomparable power has turned against her.
It's unfortunate.
Tiara?
Tiara, I know you're here.
Tiara?
Sorry to drag you out.
I got special permission from the Elder.
She just doesn't want to leave here.
Tiara...
She only just started to calm down.
I was shocked when I heard.
I never thought this would happen.
I'm sorry, Tiara.
Stop!
What are you doing to me?
No! You've got to calm down!
No!
Stop it! Let go!
Tiara!
Where are you, Sara?
I want to see you.
Sara...
Tiara...
Kagetsu! Kagetsu! Help me!
No! Stop it!
Brother!
Just hold her down.
Tiara!
Please, brother.
Tiara.
Please, no. Sara...
Please...
Sara.
I finally see you.
Let's let him rest a bit.
It was tough on him to quench that power of yours.
I'm sorry.
And for me.
I thought I could do it.
To make Graham a good partner, and train him well.
But...
Iook what happened because I didn't know my power.
I was afraid.
Even now?
How strange...
I'm not afraid at all now.
Once I started hearing your voice...
my fear began to wane.
But I didn't have the courage to master my power.
I want to thank you two.
And Lena too.
That's right.
But that's where your strength lies.
You already know everything.
Even what to do with your power.
If that's too much for you, cry as much as you want...
if that makes you feel better.
Then you'll return to your normal self.
The Tiara that I know...
is that kind of woman.
Sara...
You're such a cry baby, Tiara.
I'm sorry.
Are you going?
Yes.
I want to meet Graham sometime.
Introduce us. Promise me.
Be careful.
For my brother's sake too.
You haven't learned, have you?
But it's too late. This one's mine now.
How dare...!
Graham is my partner.
I'm not going to let you have your way with him.
Don't exaggerate things.
You can handle this much, can't you?
You...!
Don't take me for granted. I'm not afraid of you anymore.
Graham!
EI Sera Emuisua Mistos.
My name is Tiara! Submit to my will!
I... I am...
You are to be mine.
Thank you. I'm okay.
You've done well.
The contract has been fulfilled.
And you've gained a new power.
You dealt well against the fear of the power within you.
We are proud of you.
There was good reason for us to...
rise from our long sleep for this.
I am sure he will make a good partner for you.
Treat him well.
And you must thank those who extended a hand and saved you.
As the one who was summoned, Graham, from now on...
you shall fulfill your role as partner to Tiara.
Our task here is complete.
Farewell then.
It's all right. Don't be afraid.
This is your new world.
Your name is Graham.
Graham?
And I'm Tiara.
Tiara...
Say it again.
Tiara...
That's right.
Welcome to the Guardian World.
The bird that flies on the trail of wind...
calls forth the morning mist.
Through the white cloud...
the power of the sun is gone.
Bringing forth a distant time...
is this day of prayer.
In this never-ending dream...
one voice will reach you.
Disappearing into the sky...
how far does this hill climb?
When you reach the top...
share a dialogue with the gods indeed.
Let's just...
This is the Festival of Wind.
Avoid the shadows in your step.
To a gentle world.
Close your eyes.
