====Gouga and Saiga: Part I====
=====Ep. 1: Loreila's Wish I=====
Skahal is exhausted on the ground while surrounded by Rundall soldiers. The Rundall soldier states that he expected no less from the chief of Saiga, as Skahal was able to bring down many of Rundall's elite soldiers. The soldier goes on to state that Skahal's arrival into Ovis will mark the end of Saiga. Skahal proclaims that he will not die and especially not here. The soldier laughs and mentions that Skahal can barely stand. He goes on to assure Skahal that they won't kill him just yet, mentioning that there seems to be a movement to unite the shinobi villages of Gouga and Saiga. Skahal remains silent on the matter, leading the soldier to assume the rumors are true. The soldier finds Skahal's confirmation sufficient, stating that King Jayden will be pleased with the news. Skahal stands to his feet and tells the soldier that he cannot let them leave alive with that information. The soldier unsheathes his sword and tells Skahal he would like to see him try. Skahal goes on to fight the Rundall soldiers once more.
After confronting the last soldier, the soldier asks Skahal if he is certain. Skahal is then attacked from behind by a shinobi, falling down to the ground from the attack. The Rundall soldier says it looks like Skahal wasn't ready to lead Saiga, deciding to enact the finishing blow. At that moment, a young woman dashes onto the scene. The Rundall soldier recognizes her as Loreila, telling her that they were just about to execute Skahal. He decides to ask her a question before ending Skahal's life. The soldier mentions Gouga and Saiga's plan of uniting into a single nation, he wants to know from her if it's the truth or a fallacy. He then says that depending on her answer, she may be sharing Skahal's fate. Loreila is silent as she takes out her bow and aims it at the Rundall soldiers. The Rundall soldier notices that she has aimed her bow at them and tells her not to expect any mercy from them. He tells her the first thing he'll do kill the chief of Saiga and then they will have their fun with Loreila. Loreila mentions that they will not lay a finger on him. The Rundall soldier is intrigued as he has heard that if given the right price, people from Gouga would kill their own parents. Loreila tells them that her Gouga will be different.
=====Ep. 3: If This Battle Ends=====
After routing the Rundall soldiers, it has started raining in the plains. Loreila tends to a fallen Skahal, asking him how his wounds fare. Skahal tells her that the medicine he took stopped the bleeding and that he will be fine for now. Loreila tells Skahal to return to his village and rest, helping him get back to his feet. Skahal apologizes to Loreila, stating that she had to betray Rundall because of him. Loreila tells him there's nothing to apologize for as there's no just causse for Rundall to just invade Ovis the way they had. She continues to mention that she only joined Rundall to support her clan. However she has come to realize that she cannot bear what it is that they continue to do, stating the battle's outcome was already decided the moment it began. Skahal agrees and mentions that there are those in Gouga who are quite hostile to Saiga. Loreila says it is Mariale, stating that Mariale thinks Loreila stole the role of chieftainess from her. Skahal deduces that Mariale knew Saiga would help Ovis and thereby offered Gouga's support to Rundall. Loreila confirms it to be true and mentions that Mariale had said they need to ally with Rundall to eliminate Saiga. Unfortunately for Loreila, she did not have enough power to stop Mariale. However, Loreila mentions that if the battle ends, she is certain everyone in Gouga would consider the village's future with clearer minds. Loreila states nothing good would come of battle between fellow shinobi.
Skahal asks Loreila what would happen if she cannot gain their acceptance. Loreila hesitates as Skahal asks her if she would consider leaving Gouga and moving to Saiga. Loreila is shocked by Skahal's insinuation, with Skahal stating that Loreila would thrive in Saiga, even going so far as to say she is better suited to Saiga than she is to Gouga. Loreila thanks Skahal for his words but says she wants to do everything she can for Gouga's sake as it is her home. Skahal says he understands as he and Loreila intimately embrace. Skahal says he wishes they could stay like that forever, with Loreila wishing the same. Loreila ceases their embrace, stating that the villagers will be needing her, asking if Skahal can make it back to Saiga. Skahal says he will be fine to go back to Saiga, with Loreila telling him to be careful as his wounds are still open. Skahal reassures Loreila by telling her he will take his time by taking a secret path back. Loreila bids farewell to Skahal, as he does the same for her.
=====Ep. 7: Breakdown I=====
After running to look for Zazan, Loreila takes a moment to catch her breath. She states that she needs to reach Skahal before Zazan can find him. Loreila is alarmed when she smells the scent of blood, indicating Zazan is close. She runs in the direction of the blood, finding him surrounded by Gouga shinobi. She yells for him and he notices she's arrived. The Gouga shinobi notice Loreila is there and tells Skahal he won't last long while Loreila's there, telling him to say his prayers. Loreila remains silent at first but then tells the shinobi to let Skahal go. The shinobi question what she said. Loreila tells them to return to the village as she'll take care of it. The shinobi tell her they can't do that as Skahal, the chief of Saiga is a big target for them, also mentioning that they can't just look the other way. Loreila tells the shinobi that she became chief in order to stop the fighting and to accomplish her goal, they need to join up with Saiga. The shinobi then mention that Mariale was right. Loreila is taken aback by his statement as he continues to state that someone in Gouga was communing with the enemy, Saiga.
Another shinobi is shocked that it turned out to be Loreia, taking a swing at her. Loreila runs to Skahal's side and tells Loreila to get out of there. Loreila tells the shinobi she'll only ask them one more time to leave. The shinobi are incessant about not stopping the war and telling Loreila if she knows what'll happen to them. Loreila tells the shinobi to listen to her as nothing good will come of a battle between Gouga and Saiga. The shinobi mentions he has a better idea, saying that bringing back the heads of the chief of Saiga and the traitor of Gouga will have them handsomely rewarded for their efforts. Loreila is shocked at their claim, with the shinobi continuing to say that Saiga will fall and the mercenary business will solely belong to Gouga. Loreila says they're wrong while the shinobi says she's the one who's wrong, with another shinobi proclaiming that it is Gouga's true way. The shinobi brandish their blades against the duo as Skahal stands and tells Loreila to run as the shinobi have no interest in listneing to reason. Skahal shouts for Loreila to move. Loreila mentions that a village thriving at the expense of others doesn't need to exist. Skahal tries to call out for Loreila once more but Loreila tells him that she will protect him. The Gouga shinobi ready their blades against Loreila.
=====Ep. 10: Zazan the Unkillable=====
Loreila and Skahal have their backs faced to each other as they have just eliminated all of the Gouga shinobi. A voice states that it is impressed that not a single soul was left alive. Zazan arrives, with Skahal asking who he is and Loreila telling him it's a helper in Gouga. Zazan mentions it was strange that there was a sweet scent mixed in with the blood on her clothes. Loreila wonders what he means by sweet scent. Zazan deduces that the Saiga man is Loreila's lover and that they had been meeting in secret. Loreila tells him that now he knows, she cannot let Zazan return to the village. Zazan laughs and says it's cute, mentioning he might die from laughing. He ponders on the idea of becoming famous for slaughtering the chiefs of both Saiga and Gouga. Suddenly, several Gouga shinobi appear and Zazan asks if the duo want to have a little fun. Zazan and the shinobi then engage Loreila and Skahal in battle.
In the aftermath of the battle, Skahal and Loreila stand over a defeated Zazan, with Loreila stating that they were able to pull it off. A voice agrees with her and says that she really did. Loreila turns and sees Mariale, who mentions that she can't talk her way out of this one. Mariale says it's ironic that Loreila talks about ending the fighting and yet Loreila is the one bring about all the death. She asks Loreila how many of her shinobi brethren need to fall before she is satisfied. Loreila tells Mariale she's wrong, as Mariale interjects by asking her if there is something she's missing. Mariale bluntly asks Loreila if she just wants to be with that man, pointing to Skahal. She tells Loreila that Loreila doesn't care how many of her own people need to be sacrificed because of it, then mentioning that Loreila does all this and then also claims she wants Gouga and Saiga to be one. Mariale calls out Loreila, expresses her disgust at her and calls her a traitor. Loreila bows her head in shame, as Skahal tries to approach Mariale to explain. Suddenly, Mariale commands Zazan to act. Skahal is taken aback as Zazan tries to stab Skahal with his sword. However, Loreila notices Zazan and steps in front of Skahal, ending up impaled by Zazan's sword. Zazan laments on how what Loreila did is love, stating it's too bad for Skahal and that he won't miss next time. Zazan laughs it off as Mariale laughs as well and comments on Zazan's moniker, stating him to be a master at playing dead.
Skahal is bewildered by what happened to Loreila, with Zazan saying Skahal will see her soon enough. Skahal mutters something to which Zazan tries to make it out. Skahal says it's unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. Zazan says Skahal doesn't realize the position he's in as he's already surrounded by Gouga shinobi. Zazan continues to ask if Skahal gets it now and mentions it's the end for Saiga. Skahal says he will send Zazan to his grave, while Zazan gives the shinobi the order to kill him. Skahal takes a swing and goes through some shinobi and then chants a ritual which takes out all of the shinobi. Zazan is bewildered by what happened, with Skahal mentioning that Zazan is next. Zazan wonders how Skahal was able to do that if he was on the brink of death. A voice is heard having found Skahal. Zazan is bewildered as the Saiga shinobi have appeared around Skahal, frustrated that reinforcements have arrived. Mariale tells Zazan they need to withdraw, with Skahal cursing at Gouga and mentioning that ther villages will never be one. Skahal proclaims that he will crush Gouga, destroy it and erase it from the world. With Loreila slain, thus ended Gouga and Saiga's bid for unification as Skahal wanted to end Gouga. As Mariale became the new chief of Gouga, she swore to destroy Saiga.
