Eagle comes to his aid just as Nova is about to deal the killing blow and Hikaru bursts in just as Nova almost manages to kill him too. Nova attacks again and despite Lantis putting up a shield, manages to pierce his shoulder with a fire arrow attack. We aren't told what she is unfortunately. Lantis: "Who exactly are you? Why is your face exactly like Hikaru's?" *angry* Nova: "I hate everyone that Hikaru loves! I'll kill them all!" Again Lantis holds his own and even throws her back forcefully. She then uses magic to kill him, throws a tantrum when Lantis easily deflects it with his own and challenges him to a sword fight. Nova: "Lantis, the one Hikaru fell in love with.
Nova manages to break the poorly constructed shield that was holding Eagle captive (yeah, not much need to make a strong one for a person with no magical abilities) and proves once more that her personality is all charming and full of compassion towards someone whom Hikaru loves. Is the pendant a shipper too? That remains a mystery for now.
^^ Īs Hikaru runs through the castle, mentally wondering where Lantis could be, her pendant comes to life and points the direction - quite literally. Then Nova attacks the shield around them viciously and the confusion pretty much goes away. Lantis instantly remembers Nova from the time she threatened to kill Hikaru (yes, he picks that exact flashback of her) however Eagle is still confused. In the meantime Hikaru runs desperately through the hallways while Nova bursts in on Lantis having a conversation with a captive Eagle. Umi: "Hikaru, can you figure out where Nova went?"ĭespite the questions, I can imagine that both Umi and Fuu understood that Nova was going after Lantis so.shippers on deck? xDD Hikaru prepares for a fight but Umi and Fuu run forward and attack the monsters before she can move. Monsters obviously fueled by the fear in people's hearts. Srsly now.Ĭ) Hikaru and Lantis together got a lot of spotlight in the second season of the anime and many important, only-anime events and characters led to their development as a couple.ĭ) I do not understand CLAMP generally.xDDĮgged on by Nova's frightening (dis)appearance, the children start crying so loudly that the seed of darkness left by Nova behind her, swells and opens to allow Debonair's monsters to pass through into the castle. Notes: I chose only the anime version as I felt that:Ī) despite the pretty manga-art, CLAMP gave these two no justiceī) the manga is so ambiguous that I'm still lost on why some things happened the way they did. Mood: super-accomplished! Title: The Love That Rose From The Ashes
