Epiosde 15: Candidus | Tears to Tiara Episode Summary

Be Warned: This episode is exciting and can make you scream and shout in some parts of the episode. This part of the anime is simply oozing with action and drama. By reading this episode without watching it first, there is a possibility that you might lose the excitement when watching the show itself. Therefore, I am advising that you watch the episode first before spoiling yourself. With that out of the way, please enjoy the episode summary.

The scene opened with Mayor Creon, talking to himself about how the Empire can't take care of the Gaels. He also made mention of how an ancient power called "Gravitas" will win this war. Once he has finished talking, a purple spell glyph surrounded him and he began chanting his spell, while Gaius oversee the gathering of his small army as he proceed to finally start the first phase of his goal- the destruction and total annihilation of the Gael rebels.

Meanwhile, on the sanctuary of Avalon, Arthur was swinging his sword, shaken by what he had witnessed in the tomb from their previous adventure, he was once again consumed by the vow of vengeance, making hatred course through his veins.

Episode 15: Candidus

Arawn is seen taking to a small girl, begging him not to go, but Arawn told her that this is the final battle. Furthermore, he told her that although he will not survive, the thought of helping his people is enough to make him happy.

But the girl continued to cry. The demon king comforted her as he hugged her, and surprisingly addresses her as "Pwyll".

Riannon woke up, the dream has shaken her from her thoughts and she kept mumbling about intense grief. Unable to fall back to sleep, she decided to walk out of her room to catch some air. Outside however, she found Arawn sitting on a bench, wide awake.

She approached him and after a brief talk, Arawn told her why she won't reconsider. Confused by his statement, Riannon asked him to explain.

Their elder merely told her that the war has gone more intense and he could no longer predict the future. While saying this, he slowly remove the elder scarf and hand it back to Riannon. But the girl merely shook her head and as she received the scarf, she placed it back around his neck, saying that Arawn need not promise her anything. All she really want is to be with him and protect him for all eternity.

The next morning, the Gaels led themselves to a scary-looking forest according to the plan that they have agreed upon, as viewed by a flashback. Before they entered the forest, Riannon warned Arawn that they should not go or something ominous will happen to Arawn. But the elder told her that he already what his destiny is and that they must proceed.

As they proceed deep into the forest, the elves, Rathty and Llyr could feel themselves weakening. And Arawn commented that Gravitas, god's gravity, is present, making the elves panic. They reached a small clearing, and a huge lake.

Thinking that it was a dead end, they were to turn and find another way when the trees fell, blocking their only exit. With not even a moment of rest, they suddenly were surrounded by a rather familiar enemy.

As the Gaels drew their swords, bows and staffs, they waited for the enemy to come into view. But to the shock of all, skeletons came from the huge lake, not just skeletons but dead Gael warriors. Knowing that they will be fighting their former comrades, the rest are no longer willing to fight and this caused Octavia to cover for them.

Everything seems to be lost, when a skeleton attempted to bite Morgan's leg. Thus she struck the head with her arrow and told everyone that she can no longer take this and she will have to fight. The others followed her and a battle followed.

From afar, Gaius sat on his little watch tower as he received news that the Gaels has already faced the "living dead", the reinforcements from the Mayor.

Meanwhile, back in the battlefield, the elf Llyr, has found her strength waning as she felt the Gravitas once again.

The fighting continues, but their efforts are useless as the Necroms, the immortal vanguards kept on reincarnating themselves. Ogam told them that he will have to pulverize the Necroms completely with his "Fire Genesis" but Arawn stopped him saying that if he will use it to these lowly creatures now, he cannot use it for a long time.

Arawn told him that he will have to use his own magic. Ogam hesitated but Arawn has already asked Arthur to cover for him, as well as the rest of the Gael warriors. Riannon seems to hesitate, but she followed the rest anyway.

As everyone has already head off, Arawn started his incantation, a simple, well-phrased sentences that invoked a power- power that rivals that of the elves and the gods... and a gigantic white glyph surrounded him.

""Give me the absolute white
Give me the flawless white
Give me the pure white, a pure world
The power to erase the impervious impurity
The power to purify the world
The power of truth, the power of the heavens, the flames of the punishment of the gods
Come to us, CANDIDUS!!!"
"

After chanting it, a bright white surrounded them all, defeating the Necroms. However, their victory is short-lived as Ogam explained that the spell might even cost Arawn his life. Everyone is shocked at the revelation and so is Arthur.

But Arthur's focus is not directed at Ogam, but at Arawn who is now glowing white. Arawn further explained that this is him when he was younger, when he was still arrogant. Arthur then felt a pain on his chest and a small memory resurfaced.

Riannon then rushed to Arawn's side, worried about their leader. This occurrence further awakened the memory and as the killer introduced himself as "Arawn", Arthur left his dream land and gripped his sword.

Then with rage, he told Arawn that he has killed his father. The others did not seem to believe it, but Arthur did not care. His sister tried to reason with him but the vow of vengeance and the hate has taken over him, making him momentarily lose his righteousness and his judgment.

Slowly, he chanted "kill him" as if madness has driven him. And as he lost control, he charged and struck!

Time stood still, broken only by Arawn's blood who had now stained Arthur's hand and sword. Arawn's voice drew Arthur to reality... "Well done... You have defeated the enemy."

Arthur is in a fit of denial. And after complimenting him, Arawn fell and the skies mourned for him... Arthur could only scream.

Meanwhile, Gaius has received news of Arawn's near-death experience at the hands of his best friend no less. The said brat (Arthur) had seemingly ran off to the forest and the demon king has lost his ability to fight.

Seeing the perfect opportunity, Gaius ordered to start the assault.

Next Episode: The reason to fight.

Thoughts: Wahhh!!! I could so see an Arawn X Arthur moment here. Especially the fact that Arawn complimented Arthur despite for his actions... An episode filled with drama and action is a perfect feature of the day. I do hope you enjoyed this one. How about you? What are your thoughts with this episode?
