Maybe I thought too complicated:
Kylie's father rescued her mother from the palace - and she is a silver mage - next we know in the palace there is abel also a silver mage - so Kylie's mother could be a close relative to one of Cain's parents...
...and I guess this is the part that Maddie was waiting on...
Let me clarify: the Holy Capital is a place, not a palace. When Cain told Kylie he was from the Holy Capital she didn't assume he was royalty. :) I hope that makes it less complicated to understand!
So her mom was being controlled at that time (or, at the very least, Kylie's mom wasn't the scary monster she remembers from that terrible night)! >:( ...Wait, if that silver mage wanted a human sacrifice with a significant level of spirit, could Cain or his father have been the next victims?! (assuming Abel didn't use Kylie's mom, of course)
Dat alt text, tho. XD
...And no, it's hard to believe it's October already. The year's gone by so fast. O.O
EDIT: here's a theory. Madou could be Kylie's brother. O_O ...Or at least related to him in some way. He was talking about something precious to him in a box. Maybe that was symbolism for info on his family...
Hmm... So much stuff becoming clearer now for Kylie. But who could this person be now that was willing to sacrifice an entire village for one spell...
And October...yeah, the leaves are changing color around where I live hardcore now. They weren't really changing in Sept, but as soon as we hit the 1st... BAM! color everywhere. O_o
Hmm, that's an interesting way of putting it! :) It would depend on the perspective of the perp at hand, though. If he didn't mind destroying a village to achieve an end, it probably didn't feel like a sacrifice to him. For Kylie's mother, on the other hand... >.>
Though that does bring up the question how he got out of the Holy Capital to do this when no one's allowed to leave. Does his title give him that permission, or did he sneak out for a night of spell-stealing evilness? And I know Ren and co. get to leave, but Abel IS a prince and... wait.
Is Abel sick because of Kylie mama? Did she curse him or something? That would be so cool pleaseletthatbethecasepleaseohplease!
This page also suggests that whatever the spell that Kylie mama knows, it's apparently not taught or readily available to other silver mages. Why wouldn't they, I mean what's so wrong about human sacrifice, right? XD
Well, the spell does not need the human sacrifice - it was the special method of learning it that required it, which that evil silver mage wanted to use instead of learning it the normal way...
Ah, good job noticing the way the words for phrased Mjkj! :) This is going to take some time to fully explain XD
You are right in that the spell does not always need human sacrifice. But one way of casting it, requires it. This is what was meant by 'the way he wanted to learn it'. I do apologise for any confusion in this regard, it's completely understandable, but this distinction is only hinted now and will be properly explored later. Promise! ;)
IF this Silver Mage mentioned is Abel (I mean, really, I don't know ;D) then you are correct in thinking that he probably wasn't allowed to leave. :) Maybe that's why he's wearing the standard Holy Capital cloak?
Cannot confirm yet re: why Abel is sick but we'll seeee ;D
Also, Kylie-mama ran away from the Holy Capital, and was the only other Silver Mage alive at the time. So maaaybeeee... she took some knowledge with her that she was supposed to impart? ;)
OOHhh slowly but surely the puzzle gets pieced together! How interesting that Cain and Kylie somehow had a connection even before they met...with their messed up families XD
So, was that silver mage abel? or someone else?
@alt text: yeah must be abel...
Kylie's father rescued her mother from the palace - and she is a silver mage - next we know in the palace there is abel also a silver mage - so Kylie's mother could be a close relative to one of Cain's parents...
...and I guess this is the part that Maddie was waiting on...

...ok, thank you :D

I can confirm that the 'box' Madou mentioned was metaphorical, and 'the thing' wasn't actually in a box. ;)
Was the spell... the chains?! D:
More reasons to hate that little snot!
e: or is it SERPAMIA FLARE OHHH
It does seem I've given plenty of reasons for people to really not like Abel, even though he's had so little screentime XD good job, Abel!
And ahahaha seamuffin ;D that's a very good guess!
