Only Lailah is with Sorey, but he and Mikleo are looking at the same sky. Instead, everyone has their own business and are on their own in radically different (and beautiful) lands. Lailah steers him in the direction of the Galahad Ruins, where a scred relic similar to the holy sword lies if he can retrieve and wield whatever it is, she believes he will have amassed the strength to continue standing beside his friend.Īlisha is headed to the learned city of Mirland to deal with a worsening epidemic, while Sorey is headed to the intimidatingly-named Rayfalke Spiritcrest, where he hopes to find a dragon to slay.īy the episode’s end, everyone has gone their separate ways – an interesting development this far along in the show, considering the OP and ED are so gung-ho about a united party that includes Rose, whom we still barely see, and a few characters we have yet to meet. As for Milkeo, he’s starting to feel like Sorey has surpassed him so far, he doesn’t know what to do next.
Nobody trusts the guy, but he only seems to want to get the measure of the lad, and lets him go when dinner’s over.įrom there, Sorey, Alisha, and Mikleo’s paths diverge, although Alisha and Sorey travel together for a spell, affording Alisha the opportunity to learn more about the Shepherd. It was so anticlimactic, it made me wonder if it was the same dragon Velvet was fighting last week, and it vanished because she vanquished it? Maybe dragons transcend time and place, being the manifestation of malevolence and all?Īnyway, all Sorey can do is accept the gratitude of Alisha, the town, and even Lord Bartlow, who invites him to sup with him. But just as soon as it appears, it disappears, and while everyone gives him credit as Shepherd for vanquishing it, Sorey didn’t actually do anything. And so we return to Sorey, Alisha, and Zestiria, right where we left them: staring down a massive storm with a dragon at its core.
