A prince cursed by a witch seeks salvation at the hands of another witch...as Oscar, cursed by the Witch of Silence, challenges the tower of the Witch of the Azure Moon, setting the course of fate
.
Pretty serene and atmospheric OP, featuring the supporting cast as well as Oscar and Tinasha in battle together and enjoying each others' company
.
You can take the elf out of the mage, but you can't take Atsumi Tanezaki out of playing cute and worldly witch girls
.
Oscar is a brave and sarcastic prince, but he's got the skills (and the anti-magic sword) to back it up, and this tower has some family history attached to it knowing his own great-grandfather reached the top before
.
Lazar was complaining about this trip the whole time and trying to get Oscar to turn back...but when the chips were down, he was willing to sacrifice himself to make sure his prince pressed onward. And Oscar probably would have jumped after him had Lazar not told him to go
.
What a way to greet a witch by immediately commenting on her appearance and age...then again, she does end up calling you harsher looking compared to your great-grandfather Regius, so I guess it evens out. Though she also thinks you look more manly
.
Tinasha may not interact with people much but she's a kindhearted witch, never killing any of those who fail her tests but going out of her way to help those who really deserve her aid and weren't challenging her tower for themselves
.
So Oscar's problem is he and his father were cursed to never be able to bear children...or more in fact blessed so that no normal woman could carry their child. Why did the Witch of Silence try to end their family line like that? Is it tied to his mothers' death
?
Tinasha doesn't really want to address the fact that she can't do anything about the Blessing...but she can find a woman who can bear Oscar's child! Who wouldn't want a witch wingwoman? Or, better yet, a witch for a wife
?
Of course Tinasha doesn't want to accept immediately, and it sounds like Regius asked her the same question when they first met, though Oscar is pretty determined and she can't fight back against him with his sacred sword Akashia's resistance to magic...so they'll just have to settle for her living in his kingdom as his protector (incognito as the Witch of the Azure Moon's assistant) with Oscar determined to make Tinasha acquiesce to marrying him! They've already got the belligerent sexual tension banter down to pat
!
The ED is also suitably serene and pretty featuring a sprawling storybook shot of the various characters who will appear in Oscar and Tinasha's story as well as the two of them together intimately and looking cute together
