Chapter 214 is now available! A lot of this chapter is about the tension from the hopeless situation. Carrying off the cliffhanger from the last chapter, there doesn't seem to be a way to escape anymore. They are stuck having to face what seems like certain defeat.

Simonides figures out the last couple of things. Part of the problem I was faced with as how to get him to figure out Chiharu's power. She was very careful about it. So I sort of liked the idea of an offhand comment from someone that gave him the final answer. They are Atlanteans, as versed in foreign culture as they are, Japanese culture isn't necessarily going to be on the front of their minds, especially for an isolated society.

The important parts of the chapter come down to Yori and Nerine. Both of them struggling to find their place in their new situation. Neither knows what to do, but knows something needs to be done. Yori's is more of a case of feeling useless and weak, while everyone else is able to do something. I tease his awakening again, but call it off for Nerine. It's a bit of a running gag for him. Nerine's struggle is between what side. Since she has seen how Seiji and his friends are, it's become more difficult for her to just blindly see them as the enemy, especially after what Seiji did for her. She ends up being the key to everything.

Enjoy!
