The Dawn of a Dark Age

Oh boy, first Sasuke and NOW this.

While the Summit was no walk in the park even after everything that was revealed, handling this matter is definitely a whole different ball park for the trio to take on; especially if Hakuryuu might actually have more than just these two men within his household.

Also it's best to keep in mind that Al Thamen's central goal is to destroy the world that Solomon had created through his influence, and that they require a medium in order to fulfill their means of bringing Ill Ilah into the world once again.

Despite the fact that Judal pretty much just does whatever the hell he wants against their orders, he was after all raised by them, and therefore carries the same mad desire to bring chaos and destruction to this world; in which case puts Hakuryuu in grave danger of falling prey to their plans like Kassim, Princess Dunya, and Mogamett.

And that's not all.

Even if they'd managed to kill the current vessel of Arba's consciousness, it doesn't guarantee she may have other means of reappearing through another physical manifestation that she could possess; like Hakuryuu, Judal, or even Hakuei ((who shares her blood)) to name a few.

And who's to say that all of this hasn't worked according to her plans? Why else would she go through such elaborate schemes to do what she did to her own son other than for some twisted form of entertainment?

Maintaining Priorities and Wishes

With everyone going their separate ways for now to prepare for what's to come, which is in reminiscent of how things sort of began with the beautiful rhythm of separation and reconnection, Titus and Aladdin have a little talk as both Magis and friends before parting ways once more.

Both him and Mu fully intend to help do their part when the time comes for the nations to ally themselves together against Al Thamen, however they must also continue to fulfill their sovereignty's former Magi's wishes to protect the kingdom that had become precious to her.

Like Alibaba they have their priorities to maintain, as well as carrying out the will of their predecessors who'd sacrificed so much for their nation's sake. So regardless of how others may perceive their decisions, they will do what is best for their country and it's people.

Although Titus divulges to Aladdin that the Rehm Empire intends to remain nuetral and refrain from taking sides between the Kou Empire and Sindria if they start to make waves again, it doesn't mean that they will stay on the sidelines when major crisises arise that will threaten the world.

As a fellow Magi, and as his friend, he will lend him his strength against those who had nearly destroyed the country in which they both had once called home.

For the Sake of a Friend…

While Olba had noted earlier that seeing the trio together made this group feel complete, the truth is that it's actually not since they are still missing a certain someone who is as much apart of this gang as any of them.

Even if Alibaba has come to a decision on who's side he must join in order to help restore his kingdom, Sharrkan poses another seemingly complicated question to the trio on what they will do when they run into Hakuryuu, who will in all likelihood meet them in his pursuit of defeating his brothers to officially claim the Kou Empire for himself.

Although this'll be yet another difficult uphill battle for them to tackle compared to this recent Summit, the trio share the same response to that question as they firmly assert that they won't kill Hakuryuu, no matter what.

Not only because he is one of the King's Vessels, which hints that he will fight against Al Thamen along with everyone in the future one day, but also because of the simple fact that he is one of their comrades who'd shared in equal struggles and victories during their time together.

For the sake of their friend they will not abandon him to the same fate as those before him who'd lost their way.

This Isn’t Goodbye

Although the conclusion of this summit meeting has marked the end of their former relationship as "allies," it doesn't look as though Sin is taking this decision of Alibaba's personally.

On the other hand he's still got a few tricks and trump cards like poor Kougyoku, so we can't completely rule out the idea that he might try to pull something at some point to continue to pursue his goal of becoming this world's one true king.

But regarding how things have turned out from the results of Judal's sudden interference, as well as the news of the Kou Empire's rebellion from the Fourth Prince, it isn't all that surprising that Sin would be sympathetic towards Alibaba's situation.

In fact if anything, I feel like he's proud of him.((Or at the very least respects him more than he did before.))

  Seeing the wayward Prince of Balbadd finally take a firm stand on his priorities instead of solely relying on others that he would besaint, he's grown considerablly as a young ruler and diplomat.

Although he still probably has much to learn before he can officially reclaim his throne again, he's already well on his way to becoming a king worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
