Everyone travels far away in hopes of finding a way to stop the empire’s grand scheme.

Disclaimer: I don’t feel like pretending I don’t know what is going to happen, and writing a section without spoilers and then one with them, as I’ve played the game. This post will contain massive spoilers to the whole plot. If you don’t want to be spoiled, then don’t read on. I won’t spoil anything simply for the sake of spoiling it, no needless spoilers, but they will be there. Final warning.

I thought this episode was awesome. I’ve always said that Taliesin is one of the most important characters in this game/anime. They did a great job of showing that little history he has with Epona, which I was afraid they would leave out of the anime since it was only a small part of the game. They then go on to have him discover the cave, which I’ve been looking forward to for a while. I’m glad they didn’t change much, its important that he is the one who discovers this cave and the history by himself; otherwise his actions later as a result of it wouldn’t be as meaningful.

I do hope that the next episode does a good job of going over that past. It gets kind of confusing and has a rather deep meaning to it, so they can easily screw it up. I still honestly think that it’s the most important part of the story, because it reveals why the world is as it is, Arawn’s back-story, it provides the method of effectively saving the world, and really the best part of this story is the past between Arawn and Myrddin. This is the time where it is all given, and where effectively the motivation for the entire series is given, so I just hope they don’t screw it up.
