Ep 8. Orphen - 08 - Azalie

After their run-in with Volkan, Orphen, Cleao, and Majic continue their journey to the Tower of Fangs. Orphen is determined to find out the truth about Azalie's transformation, and hopes to find some answers at the Tower. Along the way, they meet a young girl named Lycoris who joins them on their journey.

As they near the Tower, Orphen is plagued by memories of his past and the events that led up to Azalie's transformation. He remembers his days as a student at the Tower, receiving tutelage from the great sorcerer Childman and befriending Azalie, who was the heir to the throne of Kievan. But their peaceful existence was shattered when they embarked on the quest for the Sword of Baltanders, a powerful artifact that could grant its wielder immense magic.

The Sword was guarded by a dragon, and during the battle to claim it, something went terribly wrong. Azalie was consumed by the Sword's power and transformed into a dragon, destroying the Tower and killing many of their comrades. Orphen blames himself for what happened, and has been searching for a way to reverse the transformation ever since.

When they finally reach the Tower, they are greeted by two of Orphen's former classmates, Hartia and Dortin. They warn Orphen that the mages of the Tower are wary of him and his power, and that he must be careful. Orphen is undeterred, and demands to be taken to Childman.

They are taken to a chamber deep within the Tower, where they meet Childman and the other high-ranking mages. Orphen confronts Childman, accusing him of knowing more than he has let on about Azalie's transformation. Childman denies any involvement, but Orphen is unconvinced.

As the mages begin to study Orphen's magical abilities, Cleao and Majic explore the Tower. They stumble upon a secret chamber where they find a strange artifact that seems to resonate with Majic's magical energy. Meanwhile, Orphen is confronted by Hartia and Dortin, who reveal that they have been sent to capture him by the Tower's leaders.

In the chaos that ensues, Orphen and his companions are forced to fight for their lives against the Tower's guards and mages. Orphen unleashes his full power, determined to protect Lycoris, Cleao, and Majic. But in the end, they are captured and brought before the Tower's leaders.

Orphen faces a difficult choice: reveal the truth about Azalie's transformation and risk being executed for his actions, or remain silent and continue on his quest alone. As he weighs his options, he is visited by Azalie in a dream, who begs him to save her from her cursed form. Orphen realizes that he cannot give up, and that he must find a way to break the curse once and for all.
