Hulems, Watchers, and Divas, oh my! On the road to Julianess, surprises wait behind every hilltop, from Jura Forest to Talpa Village, danger lurks in each crag and cranny. As Gau’s oblivion towards Kyuo’s affection earns him a duel at the hands of White Lightning, a rival who gives “battle rhyming” a whole new meaning, the tensions in the group grow ever more tense.

But will Gau ever become the warrior he was destined to be, or will Elle’s “tutelage” spoil his chances? Perhaps Diaz, Elle’s older brother, can shed some light on the matter.
