Episode 3-10

Takeshi/Lambda
Half-a-year has passed since Takeshi met Atalanta. Master Shou's death has created a new life for Takeshi purposed around protecting her. Turning to a man Takeshi fostered admiration for, he serves under Mizu Hidora’s Right Hand as a protege to improve his combat prowess. Not to mention Mizu is happy to keep an eye on the Lambda Sprite.

Takeshi is in the middle of a spar with Thana Nazir when they spot the Airships in the distance. The events of the fall of Shioland play out from his perspective, ultimately ending in him drowning... But it was just a nightmare.

Takeshi wakes up from the nightmare. Atalanta awoke him because she could see the nightmares he was having. She asked him why he saw himself drowning, but he didn't know. The sprite alerts him to the fact that the boat is unloading on an island Mizu has brought them to. The duo gets up, Atalnta enters him, and Takeshi joins President Hidora as a part of his Royal Guard. Thousands of citizens deboard the ships alongside the President and the island's population welcomes them openly.

Mizu and his Guard enter the Palace of the island where Jarl Vagan of the island Novrgandt greets them with a feast. The pleasantries don't last long as they are attacked and the entire Royal Guard is killed through swords in the back. There is an attempt to fight back but they are weakened by the poison within the food. As Takeshi's consciousness fails him, he sees Atalanta leaving his body to defend them. Darkness envelops his mind with the thought of her alone being his last.

Many hours later... the sounds of roaring waves against the shore awaken Takeshi. Thana reassures him he is fine and so is Atalanta, then begins to tell him what happened after he passed out. Atalanta defended them as Thana dragged him away, and as the Sprites powers dwindled she rejoined them. They suspect Mizu is dead and their only option is to escape the island. They go to the docks as the sun sets and coincidentally see a group in the distance... Mizu, Minori, and the Jarl. They watch from afar.
