Anyone who had known him in this life or the one before knew he was a person who never doubted. “I don't know.” The wizard finally answers, defeated, gesticulating dubiously.

“Eriol! Say something! Explain what has happened!” Cerberus rebukes, which suddenly looked bigger and more threatening than ever to him. “Hiiragizawa…? What has happened to them…?” The other young girl asks after a few seconds of silence, lowering her video camera like someone that knows that she has recorded such an infamous event that nobody should ever watch it again. He should have trained them better, he should have warned them and not just assumed they could take over, challenged them to know the real fear, but at least for now it was too late. The fear was for them, but the anger was mainly against himself. It was different now, because he didn't know if they had been taken somewhere else or if they had simply ceased to exist right there in front of his eyes. No challenge he would have given them would have put them in real danger, they were always calculated risks, to such an extent that he did not have to worry about hurting them physically or emotionally. The englishman trembles with anger, but more with fear. The final spell may have left them in an eternal time loop, it may have made them grow old until they disappeared, it may have taken them to another time. The time magic is very powerful, but it is also unpredictable and temperamental. They're gone, no matter how much their friends look for them. Tomoyo takes him by the arm, trying to calm him down. Like in a movie, Eriol yells his name, angry. The fire consumes the asphalt, the trees and the lampposts, but it's too late now. He angrily points his sun staff at the person responsible for his tragedy. The British one, exhausted, is the first to react. Against all odds, they manage to hold hands, which relieves them, but dismays their friends, who incredulously watch them disappear without a trace along with the light show in which they were immersed.

The gale threatens to separate them for good and only a war cry could make it possible for them to stay together in spite of everything, so without hesitation, they both utter it in unison: He increases the strength of the hand that holds his sword and extends the other towards her. She holds her scepter in one hand and extends the other towards him. The emerald and the opal meet each other, and somehow they know that their only hope is to remain together to that special and beloved one, who even today, after so much time, they have not managed to realize that they are each other.

He looks with disdain at the cause of his misfortune, who keeps a stoic gesture while his inseparable pocket watch is pulverized and at his mentor and friend spending in vain the knowledge of his two lives in trying to stop the inevitable.Īt the end they look at each other. He, on the other hand, felt that his responsibility was increasing every second as the situation became more and more out of his control, and he cursed his own weakness and how bad the choice not to trust it had been.Īmidst the swirl of random colors and meaningless sounds, she can see her best friend clinging in terror to her inseparable video camera, and her guardian, the majestic beast, screaming her name helplessly. It wasn't as if she could simply turn her back on everything, as if refusing the commitment she made with the cards was an alternative, so for the moment, the die was cast. Getting to the point where they were, made them ask themselves the question: Was this confrontation really necessary?īeing in the face of uncertainty, not necessarily death or the loss of a loved one, made her, at least, rethink her role and the need to be in the midst of all that conflict in the first place. Tomoeda District, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan. The Feat of the Sorceress and the Gaijin.
