-----------------------------------------------
-The prologue is about Sabrac reminiscing about a certain Tomogara who actually is Mare (NDS/PS2 Shana game's original character.) Sabrac murmured her name in last novel too and vowed to kill a certain flamehaze who kill her. (It was Shana...or Reiji maigo's Kaikin that destroyed Mare. I don't sure.)
After reading XVIII & XIX , It is clearly that Sabrac did have feeling for Mare (he didn't understand that feeling until it's...)
The prologue tells us more about Sabrac and Mare's relationship :
1. He unintentionally saved Mare and they started traveling together.
2. Mare said that he is like swords, the intimidating power sheathed inside the scabbard. She said she was jealous of him because his power is far greater than her, little and weak tomogara who only control people's dream while he can kill them whenever he wants. One day, she said that she will going to seek certain thing (the Reiji Maigo)
to become great existence like Sabrac. She entrusted her (hougu?) dagger to him saying she will take it back when came back with that certain thing. She left him and thus came to Misaki City (In Shana NDS/PS2 game, if you play as Mare and win all characters, she will talking about herself now becoming strong enough and she murmured Sabrac's name before the game ends.
-Indeed, Shana did say she loves Yuuji and that she'll beat the Snake and rescue him. Then, they fight each other.
-Yeah, Margerie Daw revived after Keisaku ...um... kissed her. Then he confessed that he loves her and they kissed again. (Well...their age difference is about 1000+ years though. That's acceptable...
)
-In XVIII, after Shana broke free from Bel-Peol's chain Tartaros (which can deny the rules or phenomenona as well as flamehaze' power) with the help of Tenmokuikko, re-materialized from Nietono no Shana which was taken when she was captured. Shana, having new unrestricted spells by realizing the true strength and form of Alastor : Shinku(True Crimson) , Hien(Soaring Flame) , Shinban(Judgement) and Danzai(Conviction), regrouped with Wilhelmina Carmel , Rebecca Reed and Khamsin inside Seireiden. Together, they traveled through the gate leading to Keidou(Path of Pilgrimage), the dimension where the real body of Snake of the Festival was sealed by ancient flamehazes long time ago.
Since XVIII, most of the Seireiden's army were attacking many places in the world under the command of Dacarabia, Tomogara with the shape of giant and long scaled-fish(there are some pictures of him in XVIII), who used unrestricted spell known as Providence to command all of them in an instant (homage from
"Eye of Providence", I think. This spell activated as Dacarabia scattered his scales and attached them to anything. From those scales, he could see , hear and even cast unrestricted spell from that scales wherever they were and the time limit of this overwhelming spell is...unknown or very, very long; because his true name is Byoubyouri or translated as The officer of Boundless Sea). Unfortunately(for Tomogaras), after Khamsin incapacitated Crypta, the shield protecting Seireiden(and in Tendoukyuu too), from inside the fortress and consequence from Tenmokuikko who went rampage inside Seireiden and attacked Fecor(the man with horns and bat wings in Season2), thus making Magnesia, his unrestricted spell of absolute protection (as you can see in Season 2) disappeared. Some of lord-class tomogara were ordered to come back to help protect Seireiden because The Snake, the Trinity, Professor and Sabrac went inside Keidou.
The one who came back first (with the help from Stolas, tomogara that uses instant transporting unrestricted spell named Prozzesion) was Haborym the lord of crimson realm who use unrestricted spell named Keiryougen(Field of Shining Blaze) which harden his ally's physical and flame power.
-Shana's group went inside Keidou and confronted by Sabrac. Wilhelmina, Rebecca and Khamsin attacked him but unawared that Sabrac's unrestricted spell, Stigma, was redesign. Now named Stigmata this spell creates worse effect than the previous one; it can control the size of wounds.
-Shana moved forward to face Yuuji/Snake. But before she reached him the body of snake had been awaken. Giant snake began moving toward the gate of Keidou to return to Earth.
-The battle began in somewhere of China. Seireiden fell down. Tomogaras were forced to protected themselves from flamhaze army. In the battle's climax, Sophie Sawallisch (old nun), the great commander of flamehazes' side use her signature drop-kick (she used this many time, killing Ullikimmi in X, Nitika in Zoetrope.) to destroy the gate of Keidou but this failed because Fecor used his last breath(still not confirmed he did perished or not...) command his Magnesia to protect the gate that would become the triumph arch Snake of the Festival shall use to return.
In that time, Sabrac, petrified with the giant existence of the true snake, was consumed by that giant snake. Actually, he could survive but chose to stay as that, decline Bel-Peol's help with her chain. He cut the chain(which could protect him from the snake's true body) wrapped around his wrist and let himself devour by the snake. He talked to himself that he now knew what Mare felt when she was with him, the Tomogara with far more power than herself.
-At the end of the story, Snake reached Earth and Flamehazes losing their will power and under despair while the Tomogaras cheerfully shouts for the arrival of the God of Creation, Snake of the Festival.
-In the epilogue, Sabrac reminiscing again about Mare. He said that he now understand the feeling she had for him and thinking about the last words he heard from his "little butterfly(the nickname he called her)" which were :
"I will...definitely become one (the tomogara as great existence as him)."
"When that time comes, whatever shape you take.....please watch me, smile for me and welcome me"
Sabrac called himself and Mare both idiots.
He, who until now realize nothing.
She, who fought to seek power in order to stand beside him and died.
I'm not angry that you did unnecessary things to me.
Also, I'm not feeling bitter because that you're small.
Therefore, please smiles.....beloved butterfly.
