Akane visits the temple to see the koto and meets Eisen by the lakeside. Before she knows it, she is moved to tears by the sorrowful sound of his flute as he plays a dirge for the departed. Then, as the sinister tones of the koto resound, Akane falls unconscious. Under the curse of the eight-stringed koto, Akane drifts into a sleep from which she will never awaken... The Eight String Harp (Part 2) - Ripples of the Falling Flower The one responsible for the curse of the eight-stringed koto was Sefle, a demon boy. He reveals the secret to breaking the curse - one of the Eight Guardians must play the koto and give up his life. Only the "Kan of the Eight Guardians" is capable of awakening the Priestess. That guardian is Eisen, the runaway younger brother of the emperor. He approaches the koto to rescue Akane, prepared for death, when... The Cursed Priestess A young girl calling herself the "Priestess of the Dragon God" appears?! Akane seeks her out while Tenma frantically searches alone for his missing sister. What Akane, Tenma, and the others come across in the city is a mysterious figure as she transforms impurities into butterflies and releases them into the capital. That girl was none other than Tenma's younger sister, Ran! Includes the complete director's cut of the eleventh episode, featuring scenes never aired on Japanese television! | |||
