Part 2- Severed Souls : Set one year before your revival : The Red Plague is sweeping through Vesuvia and the city is trying its best to forget about it. You enjoy your safety inside the shop and Asra's arms... but you cannot stay there forever. You are forced to make a choice between following who you love, or defending what you care about most. What will happen on the journey to your decision, and ultimately, your demise? Part 3- Mirror mirror : A series of snapshots from life at the palace through Julian's and Asra's perspectives.

Appra, Julian's apprentice apothecary, is alone in the study one night when furious knocking at the door disturbs their sleep. With Julian off to a nearby hospital, they're the only person available with enough medical knowledge to help one of Count Lucio's pets, who's recently fallen sick. Upon arriving at the palace, Appra meets Muriel, Lucio's right hand, and is told about the unfortunate circumstances that befell his late wife, the Countess Nadia, and of her fugitive killer, Asra the magician. Lucio seeks revenge for the murder of his wife and is sure that Asra is to blame. Obligated to help, Appra must now not only seek out the magician but gain the truth and his confession with it.

The title explains it. (I would like to apologize as I'm not fully educated in the world of The Arcana but I still really want to do this so please correct me if I'm wrong on anything. Also, don't mind the cover. I realized this isn't' really a gif series any more to yeah.
