by CLAMP, 180 pagesAs a trusted soul is secretly consumed by its other, darker self, the Dragons of Heaven are unwittingly led into danger. If the dreamseers' fateful visions come to pass, where the reinvigorated companions seek victory they will find only death and defeat.
This volume is yet another example of hope mixed with darkness. Seal Yuzuhira finds the strength to protect herself and her friends and rediscovers her lost spirit-dog companion; but dreamseer Kakyo's sweet vision of Hokuto Sumeragi, Subaru's dead twin sister, proves to be just a recurring heartbreaking dream, like a broken record, with no hope of resolution. Which tone will win out in the end? Whose beliefs will be legitimized and whose invalidated? Those who affirm the immutability of fate...or those who challenge it? Obviously, the reader is all for challenge. It's human nature, after all. But whether unpredictable CLAMP will choose to support that notion and, if so, to what degree, remains to be seen. Either way, I'm sure they'll make the journey to that revelation as twisted and hard-won as they can.
