The Truth Within the Memories
Episode Description:
Cid decides to enter the circle and disappears. Alpha appears with the rest of Shadow Garden, kidnaps Nelson and all enter Sanctuary too. Alexia and Rose also enter. Alpha reveals she is an elf and a descendant of Olivier, the hero who severed Diablos’ left arm 1000 years ago. Cid meets an imprisoned Aurora who has been trapped for a thousand years. Cid frees her and she reveals Sanctuary is actually a massive prison that stores the memories of every past hero. If they destroy Sanctuary’s magical core, Aurora and the other memories will be deleted. As they pass through memories Cid and the Shadows learn the cult used to use the Sanctuary to experiment on orphan girls with Diablos’ blood to resurrect him. Most died but some, like Olivier, became strong heroes. It is revealed experiments on Diablos’ arm produced the pills that turn people demonic, but once a year it produces 12 Beads that grant 1 year of immortality to the cults 12 leaders, the Knights of Round, one of whom is Nelson who helped create the first Beads a thousand years ago. Nelson turns demonic and, with his control over the Sanctuary, scatters everyone throughout multiple memories and creates copies of himself to fight all the Shadows at once.
