Chapter 1-16

Minori and Elenai
The climax.

Minori, Elenai, and Narmaya finally find the location Alcia resides. It is a large ominous black manor on the cliffside. A large bridge connects it to the mainland. Before they cross they spot Alcia on the other end."'You are twisted and broken! I know what that's like, but I will not let you go near Elwood to hurt him! You have ruined his life enough!' -Alcia Asphian"Elenai attacks Alcia and momentarily disables her. This gives Minori time to subdue their enemy. However, she pleads beneath the chains to keep Elenai away from her master. Minori is impressionable to Alcia's words and shifts sides, choosing to help her fend of Elenai in a battle that lasts several minutes. Eventually, Elenai defeats both Minori and Narmaya. Her attention turns to Alcia with intent to kill.

In a brilliant twist of fate, Elwood protects Alcia and cradles her; while caught in an emotional state he confesses that he has seen Alcia has a daughter and loves her and that she does not need to feel hatred or jealousy toward Elenai. The act of selfless love strikes Elenai. Her heart nearly caves in as her mind rushes with depressing thoughts of loneliness. Two people she has seen as evil are more capable of love and family than she is.

Elwood sends Alcia away with Minori and tells her to start a better life. She convinces her that his convictions are morally wrong and that he would be pained to keep her under his wing. Alcia listens and departs with her two saviors: Narmaya and Minori."'Your life will go down a dark path with me, my love. It is only when you are free from me that your wings can spread and your heart can grow. I failed my daughter, Elenai. And when I was given a second chance with you, I failed again. I made you a weapon. I am not worthy.' - Elwood"
