Episode 20: The Song of OriginR.I.P. Taliesin :(I will remember you as the useless bard who saved them all.Before I go all out lamenting over the death of one of my favorite character....I would want to say that this episode completed the transformation of Arawn from White to Black.After the death of Myrdin, Lucifer became the 12th Spirit and vowed to help create the utopia he wanted and to atone for the sins of Myrdin. But after descending back to the land to see for himself the spring that Myrdin brought. He saw how nice spring is but what shocked him was to see that the young girl they saved was just inside the cave. When Lucifer brought him outside, it seems that the girl is hypnotized and was just chanting the following words over and over again:I am your servant, my noble and pure masterI am your slave, my omnipotent and ultimate godI am forever yours, my love for you is eternalFinally, Lucifer saw the meaning of Myrdin's words and went back to up to heaven and bid his adieu to the spirits. He staged a war against them. He returned back to land and the young girl is already back to herself. Lucifer gave her a crown of flowers. These flowers were called primula. Lucifer also named the girl Primula.I was right! So that's how Arawn and Primula met. That was also the end of the flashback...the end of the past that Taliesin saw.Speaking of Taliesin.......he died in this episode!!!! After seeing the past, he decided that he would sing the Song of the Origin to bring in the avalanche that could wipe out all of their enemies. Of course, Arawn disagreed but after Taliesin convinced him that he can only do it and this is not the path for the Kings, Arawn has no choice but to agree. Arthur didn't knew about this since Taliesin knocked him out before.Because of Taliesin's sacrifice, they were able to temporarily stopped the enemy. But the most affected people because of his death are Arthur and Epona. Arthur swore on Taliesin's memory that he would learn everything about the world so that he will be stronger. Epona, on the other hand, said that he will never forget Taliesin and sang a final song for him.I am really sad that Taliesin had to die. He is a great man and his wits and personality amuse me. But I think he found his resolve when he decided to do the song because it is those scenes where I can see the sweetest of his smiles. When Epona sang, it was very dramatic since it was heard throughout Avalon. Everybody remembered Taliesin and they will forever regard his sacrifice.*teary eyed*So next episode, I am looking forward to watch it because in the preview I saw Pwyll!!!!! O god, after Taliesin died and I feel so sad, then I became excited to see Pwyll once again!!!! Tiara has already started to play with my feelings. Hahahaha.As usual, for in detailed summary of this episode, reychop's blog is here! :) Thanks reychop!!!
