'The Ancient Magus' Bride' Episode 10 Spoilers: Chise to Return to the Land of Dragons on Her Own?
Chise Hatori is visiting the Land of Dragons once more on the next episode of the Japanese romance-fantasy anime series, "The Ancient Magus' Bride."
The preview for the next episode titled "We Live and Learn," teases Chise's return to the Land of Dragons after Elias Ainsworth's master, Lindenbaum, sent a fairy and a dragon to pick her up.
However, while it initially seemed that Linden has sent the message for both Chise and Elias to come, the preview shows only Chise and her familiar, Ruth, riding the dragon to see the older mage. What business does Linden have with the girl, whom he has grown quite fond of? What worries he be sharing about Chise's well-being and the current development of her relationship with the Thorn Mage?
Moreover, can Chise really travel on her own and stay someplace else without constantly worrying about Elias, who has, in turn, just recovered from the most recent bout of his own personal demons?
In the previous episode, Elias told Chise that he will eventually tell her everything she needs to know when the right time for it comes, and one can't help but wonder what could these mysterious revelations be about and how will they change, if at all, Chise and Elias' relationship?
The preview for the upcoming episode also teases a glimpse at Linden and Elias' first meeting and how the Thorn Mage eventually grew under his Master's care.
It also seems that the right time has come for Chise to create her own staff using a branch from Nevin's tree. Nevin was the old and dying dragon that Chise previously forged a connection with when she visited the Land of Dragons with Elias for the first time.
