Episode Title:
Moonlight Crucible.
Episode Description:
Lady Jaguara hopes that her plan to enter Paradise will succeed now. The disguised Lord Darcia reveals himself. Lady Jaguara tells him she killed her younger sister Hamona, whom he loved. Lights in the city are switched off. Thus, the electronic gates in the prison fail too, and Tsume, Toboe and Hubb can break out. Hige comes and meets them, and they leave together. Blue meets the beaten up Quent and tells him that soldiers, not the wolves, destroyed Kyrios, his home. Kiba manages to break free from his bounds and sees a vision of the false Noble's Paradise that Jaguara attempts to create. Jaguara thinks she has entered the Paradise with Darcia, but Darcia turns into a wolf and attacks her. Her castle breaks apart, and Jaguara, furious, stabs Darcia with a poisoned dagger. Cheza's prison is also broken, and Cher cares for her. Jaguara and Darcia fight, but when Jaguara is about to kill Darcia, Hige attacks her. But when Hige goes to attack her once more, Jaguara impales him in the right shoulder by her sword. Kiba arrives in the scene along with Tsume and Toboe, who remove the sword from Hige. Kiba attacks Jaguara, but Jaguara attempts to use her magic to trap him once more, but Kiba manages to walk through it. While she's distracted, Hige attacks her, but is unsuccessful due to his wound. Then Kiba gives Jaguara a fatal bite to the neck. Wounded, Jaguara turns to see Darcia standing, only for Darcia to impale her through the stomach with her own sword, killing her. Then Darcia states that he has always known that Kiba was the chosen wolf. Kiba asks Darcia what he is, because he is neither a wolf nor a Noble. Darcia then shows him a shiny black circular stone, and states that he was also chosen, and that it is not merely that his people seek Paradise. He then leaves the castle before saying that, "But that paradise is calling for us." During the end credits of the episode, Cher and Hubb are reunited and the wolves escape the castle with Cheza and the humans.
