Ep. 20: A Mind Not Filled With Despair

20

As Ryner fights for his life against Luke near the hideout, Ferris suddenly intervenes. Lir, who has been tailing Tiir, takes the opportunity to strike at the refugees sleeping in the hideout. A furious Ryner attacks Lir at full force when one of the refugees is killed, but Ferris again steps in. Lir tries to force Ryner to activate the Alpha Stigma using a crystallized eye, but Ryner is able to ward off the overwhelming temptation. Lir leaves when Luke joins forces with Ryner while Tiir takes the refugees to safety. Once Lir retreats, Luke also leaves. Ryner agrees to return to Roland with Ferris, but only under the condition that she is the one who takes his life if he were to lose control of the Alpha Stigma. (Source: Wikipedia)
