Wow. Finally, the plot starts moving into high gear. Xellos appears, we meet the apparent villains, and we learn more about Pokota’s background. Definitely the best episode so far.

Xellos, as usual, seems to be playing his own game. Whose side is he really on? What is his goal in all of this? Why did he stop the fight? I would not be at all surprised if he were the one who started spreading the “Lina is destroying the mage tanks” rumor, to get her involved in this whole mess, but why?

Also, was it my imagination, or did it seem that Pokota recognized Xellos?
