The Black-Winged Angel

Plot
Asturia's royal council discusses whether to submit to Zaibach or rally against the empire. Folken summons Van and Hitomi back to the ruins of Fanelia which he indirectly helped destroy. Here, the brothers and Hitomi face two dragons, and Folken reveals the truth about his disappearance during the pre-coronation dragon-slaying ritual ten years ago.
