Enkai meanwhile after walking around the streets beside the palace at Kina returns to rest at the palace. The next day he wanders in the gardens and meets Jasmine again. On a moment of passion both lean in and kiss each other. They share the scent of what could have been a blossoming romance but both seem sure it wasn’t meant to be and part ways.
Back in Mizutenrai Ame in her dreams ,sees a man who seems to know her and comfort her like no one else-this ends with the dream etched in her mind but his silhouetted face escapes her since she cannot handle the strain on her mind at this time. Her memory concerning the before journeys have been forgotten but she experiences pain trying to snag even a ghost of a memory.
In Aurora flashback dreams of the seven together float through Faina's mind though she has again forgotten them when she feels blood on her cheek-which isn’t hers. Alarmed she tells Kyousou her fears and they search the palace Faina alarmed that the voice who knew her also knew her real name.
In the Water kingdom Ame practices her swordsmanship with Tamahome and recalls a conversation with Haruka via the mirror she gave him. They had debated about the assassin and who could have sent him. Haruka warns Ame to be careful and they chit chat before they stop and take leave of each other.
Jasmine waves goodbye to Enkai and remembers what she now knows is a memory of Enkai giving her favourite jewel in what seems to be a Japanese ramen shop with Ame is working beside her. She also remembers sees how in love Ame and Enkai were and understand why she did not fall in love with Enkai. Unfortunetly what she also remembers is the face of Yumemi when she shows her the jewel on her return home and the rage Yumemi shows when she goes after Enkai nearly killing him .Its only by Jasmine intervention that he is saved. Jasmine then remembers fleeing the village-only to find Enkai and Ame follow them and discovering they too can control lightning and water respectively.
So at this point Jasmine alone remembers they were friends previously.
Meanwhile Tsuke knows now he is being possessed by Camerian-a powerful demon spirit though at this time who or what he was previously is unknown.
Koudou meanwhile remembers training in his fathers dojo thought he knows his dads dojo is NOT in this world nor does he remember much after that. But what does remember is the feeling of power leaping inside him-and then he sees his village destroyed and knows he was the one responsible for it. He then goes for a midnight walk in the forest and disappears.
Two months after alliances have been made there is a battle between Ashenvale(lightning kingdom) and Mizutenrai. Though Lightning elementals have the upper hand when it came to water,Mizu army did not back down and both rulers met each other on the battle in a one to one duel. Ame with her water sorcery and swiftness tried to go against battle worthy Enkai-but Enkais experience beat her further and further down. Ame called on the last of her strength and remembered a reservoir of water that was just under their feet-to Enkais surprise and horror she used an ancient attack which was so powerful it defeated both him an his army in one swoop. Of course Ame did not survive the battle wholly unscathed-bloody bruised and beaten she sustained a critical injury to her shoulder when Enkais sword stabbed her from behind.Her energy was also sapped up due to the intensity of the attack.
And it scarred her heart for she wept unknowingly in front of her army.
Meanwhile Tsuke in the dark kingdom frantically tries to keep the evil Cameron's soul in check.In haste he stabs the sword that he knows is connected to Cameron into the ground and recites an incantation to hold him in his mind and seal the evil of the sword.But the barrier he creates he knows will not hold for long and Cameron whispers this to him. It's made all the worse for Tsuke knows Yumemi has feelings for Crave thought she denies it vehemently. Cameron makes use of this when Yumemi realising Tsukes body holds Cameron soul, ties him to the bed and tries vainly to seal him. Cameron mercilessly breaks the barriers in Tsukes mind and unseals the sword using Tsukes body claiming Tsuke's body as his own-but Yumemis dark powers blasts him into the wall .
The scene ends unknowingly with Yumemi exhausted by her unreleased power and Cameron in awe and mild disgust of the girl with such dark power to force his hand.
In a secret meeting in the Nexus(wind)kingdom We see Haruka leaving the palace on an unknown errand and journey.
On the makeshift tent on the now deserted battlefield Ame recalls her journey with Faina when she first came to Koukou Oukoku.She also remembers how Faina was able to calm a fierce Kyousou into joining them so that they could leave what they now know is the dark kingdom. What happened to them thereafter was the spreading or rumors of their coming which lead to them begin escorted to their kingdoms respectively. A few days later while moving resources around the kingdom news reaches them of a dark cloud on the border of water and dark-and to their horror when they look outside a thin cloud on the horizon indeed indicates Queen Yumemi has declared war though why is a reason Ame does not understand. Captain and General both are reluctant to let Ame join them but she stubbornly refuses.
It turns out that Enkai was there when Ame came to the water kingdom mud stained and holding a sword.Enkai was sure he knew her but she gave him no sign of recognition as the horse that carried her went to the palace.
In the Aurora palace Faina hears news of Yumemi going to war with Ame and is shocked-she cannot believe that Yumemi has acted on her own and wants to go and stop her. Kyousou intervenes and Faina slaps him and immediately regrets doing so.Kyousou then tells her to stay put and prepare for battle.
Faina then writes a letter to Ame telling her how sorry she is and sends it by one of her birds to trace Ames whereabouts.
Around this same time Tsuke-overpowered by Camerons soul-dies. Dunlop and Crave himself manage to put the blame on Ame claiming a water spy came in and shot him.Yumemi seing the blue arrow rom a Mizutenrian arrow at the dead Tsuke is blinded by anger and sorrow . She declares war on Mizutenrai.
On the battlefield Ame delivered a devastating tidal wave attack on Queen Yumemis army. But before she was swept away she was wounded by Lady Yumemi who was then possessed by Cameron-The Dark god of dark kingdom. Ame awoke in Ashenvale(unknown to her),when she awoke muddy and injured. While encountering dark spies on the land,she fell prey to the soldiers of Ashenvale and was taken prisoner by the King. After a brief encounter with King Enkai, Ame was restored but imprisoned and later held a council with King Enkai,realising that both she and the king may be the object of someone else's evil design.
Meanwhile in Kina-Jasmines phoenix reunited within her-Queen Jasmine senses her sister and goes to meet her. Yumemi who had run away from the battle escaping from Mizutenrai's army reunites with her sister Jasmine and both go back to Kina kingdom. Jasmine is exhausted and overjoyed to have her sister back in her arms. She wonder too over the fact that Dion- her right hand man -should worry of her leaving too soon if the war should end . She comforts him,saying she will probably never leave for she loves being Queen of Kina and her people too much. But Yumemi has other plans-fearing for the safety of the dark tablets she returns after some days to Dark kingdom in secret fearing for the safety of the dark tablet.
Cameron however finds her and magically imprisons her away in a deserted basement-and he himself returns to the central dark kingdom where a series of circumstances lead him to be saved at the border of Light and Dark by the Queen Faina.
Faina meanwhile falls in love with this 'dark soldier' who she aids and sneaks into her kingdom. In Light kingdom after what seems to be an earthquake Faina helps Cameron escape. Cameron escaped from Faina's room by a secret passage,comes to the outside world and reunites with his fellow goddess-Dorian Lady of the Earth. It was her rising from her tomb that caused the earthquake and she reunited with her fellow comrade conspires towards a secret plot.
Aiding and abetting the escape of what was surely a dark soldier,Faina is asked whether she would either step down or go to jail for treason against her own country. Faina decides to decline the crown,is stripped of her title, and made to live as a common person in her own land. Aurora becomes a democracy and is ruled by the light council.
Meanwhile Wind Ruler indeed sends a letter of alliance to light-the true ruler Tadayoshi -sends his best lady Ayame to aid in this matter.
Faina's conscience later comes to bother her as news of an alliance proposed by the wind kingdom comes to light. Her conscience screams at her telling her truths Faina does not want to hear and in despair she runs away from her own image.
Her "conscience" however turns out to be a physical Dorian-disguising herself as Faina she makes to re elect herself to the throne and meddle in the affairs of Light.
Faina meanwhile runs away to the dark kingdom to Cameron,realizing fully that she loves him and he her. As she explored the town while Cameron is away,she recalls memories of her family of Enkai and the others, back in feudal Japan. But her identity is compromised at this crucial moment and she runs away from a very angry mob of people.
Meanwhile in Mizutenrai Captain Entei crosses into Ashenvale to steal the queen back,after her disappearance is covered up in the kingdom. He sneaks into the castle ,hears the screaming of a lady and finds Ame lying senseless in King Enkai's arms. Entei is then captured but later with the help of an inside man-who turns out to be Haruka-frees the queen and escapes to Mizutenrai leaving Haruka behind. After a romantic encounter with Enkai causes her to recall a distant the memory itself is blanked out for pain struck her at that instant and she remembers it no longer.
Kina receives her reply from Ame and is welcomed into the kingdom.
