Plot

Season 2

Chapter 14: Blood

(2) When Asha is talking about Kalibloom and describing how Kalibloom is now a fighter-based city thanks to the interruptions in magic calculations, Clari appears in silhouette, alongside Teo, Zard, and Parr.

Chapter 18: The Test of the Sword

(5) Clari is one of the six highest scorers in the test of the sword, alongside Leez, Ran, Zard, Parr, and a sixth person. They all gather before the room that houses the Sword of Re. Zard notes that Leez seems to resemble Rao Leez, but Clari immediately dismisses this.

(7) Seeing Ran as one of the candidates for the sword, Clari is surprised, as his half phobia would make it difficult to stay in a city like Kalibloom. She assumes that Ran's phobia has gotten better, only for Ran to scream in fright when Parr approaches him.

Chapter 19: Rift

(2) Some time after Leez enters the sword room, a transcendental which increases gravity unexpectedly hits the testing site and the test supervisor faints as a result. Clari takes him to a recovery magician.

Chapter 21: Frozen Tears

(1) Much later, after Teo had gone on an expedition to retrieve her daughter Elwin, who got kidnapped during the test of the sword, Zard Blain and Clari remain in Kalibloom. At some point, Zard notices that the Chaos barrier is gone exactly when another fighter shouts a warning that the Gandharva halfs are becoming violent. Suddenly, an enraged Clari (affected by emotional resonance) begins to attack him.

Chapter 24: Taboo

(7) Zard manages to subdue Clari without harming her and the emotional resonance passes. Regaining her senses, Clari is incredibly apologetic to Zard for having to deal with her being affected by emotional resonance for the second time, the first being in the Cataclysm.

While this was going on, the city got attacked by a giant sura and much of the city got flooded. Thankfully, it the city barrier held. After these events, Teo Rakan is found dead. When she eventually gets resurrected, she has no memory of the last few months.

Season 3

Chapter 38: Devastation

(1) Teo Rakan had sponsored Maruna and Gandharva, who have been posing as halfs, into Kalibloom and she immediately called for the gods, Agni and Chandra, to take care of them. Parr, Clari, and Teo are talking at the Temple of Chaos when they notice that all the temple fires have gone out and refuse to re-ignite. Clari suggests that maybe Chandra needs the dark because he is the god of Darkness. Parr then wonders if the city will be damaged should a fight occur, but Clari assures her that the Chaos barrier will disrupt attack transcendentals, plus they now have a priest candidate— Kaz Lehn.

(3)(4) A huge red Taraka portal appears above Kalibloom and Taraka clan suras begin to swarm out. Maruna appears before Parr, Clari, and Teo holding a frightened Elwin hostage and demanding to be told how to use a certain item. When the Taraka clan suras attack, the humans face them. Kaz Lehn shows up and offers to give Maruna the information he seeks.

Chapter 39: The Value of a Life

(7) The gods have arrived and defended the city against Tarakas. As a large crowd gathers in the Kalibloom upper checkpoint, aiming for the safety of the Earth barrier that is to protect them from the attacking Tarakas. Clari and Parr remark how Agni's arrival made it possible to get everyone safely to the checkpoint.

Chapter 41: Your Seven Years

(3) During the Taraka attack, Leez Haias and Kasak Rajof returned from the sura realm through the Taraka portal, triggering much discussion. A bothered Clari asks Teo if Leez Haias, the girl who pulled out the sword of Return, really was the daughter of Rao Leez, remembering the test of the sword in which Clari had scoffed at the idea of Leez resembling Rao. Teo notes that Leez's face and physique had certainly changed and more resembled Rao's now, to which Clari starts pondering how Rao Leez, a man rumored to be uninterested in women, could have a daughter, and if Leez took some kind of physical alteration drug in the sura realm. Teo asks Clari if she thinks Leez is an imposter, and Clari affirms this.

(4) Teo has been avoiding speaking to Airi Yui, who has come with seemingly important information which she needs to share with Teo. Nearby the Kalibloom Fighters Guild, Clari is present as Teo asks if Airi has left.

Chapter 44: The Meaning of Revenge

(3) Parr and a depressed Clari hear about the ruckus Leez is causing in a nearby bar, and both decide to go investigate. Once inside and witnessing the havoc Leez is causing, Clari complains that as Leez is using the sword on random citizens, she should be charged for attempted murder. When Leez begins to yell about the destruction of village she had lived with alongside her mother for fifteen years, Clari tells Parr that this is a lie. Clari snaps, and directly confronts Leez, telling her to stop lying to everyone, as Anna had died in N5; it would be impossible for Leez to have lived with her until N15. Clari demands that Leez tell the truth about her upbringing.

(4) Leez simply stands there and cries, confusing Clari. Ruche steps in and reveals to Clari that Leez was the victim of a red sky attack. Ruche then claims that when she went to investigate Leez's village, there was an "Anna Haias" listed among the 112 residents of the village; it didn't necessarily have to be the same Anna that Clari knew. Ruche continues to mock an angrily protesting Clari, until Parr tells Clari to leave the bar with her.

(6) The next day, Parr, Clari, and Leez are sitting before Teo's office while waiting for Ran and Teo to talk, since he got accused of some weird things after getting drunk the previous night.

Parr asks Leez if she remembered anything from the night at the bar, to which Leez responds negatively, claiming to only remember that Ran had been the first to black out. Clari, who is present, begins to seethe. When Leez then asks Parr if someone was sent to the temple for the gods yet, an exasperated Clari storms out of the room. Parr explains that Clari is in a very bad mood, and that she said some bad things to Leez that night.

(7) Teo, who is about to leave to meet with Airi, asks Parr to tell Clari to come back inside, to which Parr replies that Clari had left some time back.

Chapter 46: Soul

(3) Clari is among the people Teo asked whether she should retrieve the memories she lost seven years ago in return for losing her last seven years. Clari is confused why Teo would want to lose seven years of progress.

Chapter 47: Words That Never Reached You

(1) At the Kalibloom Fighters Guild, Parr, Clari, Airi, and Elwin discuss the fact that Teo and Siera have mysteriously diappeared and that Agni is searching for them. They decide to search on their own as well, while keeping the news from spreading to the city.

(2) Parr, Airi, and Clari are searching in the Chaos forest. Parr asks if there is a point to searching it, since if even Agni was unable to find them, she doubts that they are near the city. Clari notes that it is dark under the forest's canopy and that it seems unlikely that a god would rummage around here. The group is suddenly startled by the appearance of Clophe. Airi appears to recognize him, and Clari wonders why a half would be out here without a sponsor.

(14) The group follows Clophe through the forest. Clari asks Parr if they can really trust the half to guide them, and Parr replies that they have little choice, but since Airi knows him it should be okay. Finally, they find Teo.

(15) Clari, along with the rest of the search party, returns to Kalibloom with Teo in tow. When Clari expresses her suspicions regarding Clophe, Teo reprimands her, claiming that Clophe saved her from Siera.

(17) Clari and Parr notice that Airi is glaring at Teo, who is walking closely with the half. Airi sponsors Clophe into the city and Teo allows Airi to stay at her house, same as Clophe, since Airi does not want to separate.

Chapter 48: Separation

(16) Multiple cities get attacked. Clari and other fighters and magicians watch the monster fight taking place outside Kalibloom. Zard Blain is called upon to take the Earth barrier, as priest Siera Sies is missing. Clari shoos some halfs away from him and asks Airi Yui to take him to the Temple.

(25) Clari is present in the Temple when Riche Seiran and Mirha Simon arrive with news from Atera. Ruche announces that 2000 people survived in her sister's bunker, Clari questions the purity of the motivations behind this. The two of them throw insults at each other until Airi cuts them off. When Ruche announces that the one attacking Atera is none other than Chandra, Clari is of the mind that Laila should stop giving vigor to Chandra, even if that would mean her lifespan would get drawn on.

(26) A loud noise is heard outside the Temple and Clari and others gather at the window. They see that Ran Sairofe and Leny are faced with the rakshasa, Chatan, who previously infiltrated Mistyshore. The magicians consider helping, but Ruche stops them by pointing out that they must not reveal the location of the barrier stone.

(29) Teo Rakan wakes up after a series of events that led to her getting into a fight with Laila. Clari starts assuring her that she is on Teo's side. It is soon revealed that Teo remembers nothing of the last seven years; the last thing she recalls is getting stabbed through the neck. Teo asks everyone but Clari to leave the room so that Clari can fill her in on the happenings.

Chapter 49: The Golden Knight 2

(4) When Teo, after her memory being reset to seven years prior, learns of how much guilt and pain she had felt over the past seven years, Teo simply states that, as she was not the one truly responsible for what had happened before she died, it was better to just learn from the experience and move on. Clari is pleased that Teo is no longer plagued with guilt. When Teo mentions how her time as a fighter is finite, Clari suggests that Teo should take on an apprentice.

Special Episode 8 - The South Pole Expedition

(1) In year N22, Chandra chooses 7 people to gather Taraka fragments for him, Clari among them. Each of them had a choice to either go to the land of unending winter, or to go to the south pole, or to personally tell Chandra to bug off.

Only Tilda was brave enough to go for the third option. Ran and Mirha chose option one. Since Ran is scared of halfs, this forced Clari to take part in an expedition to the south pole alongside Siera Sies, Ruche Seiran, and Lutz Sairofe.

Siera speculates that since suras of the Gandharva clan are prominent in the region, the one with the fragment is likely to be among them. Lutz recalls that a Kinnara clan sura that looks like an elephant was also seen in the area and hopes that they do not encounter it. He jinxed it.

(2) The party realizes that the ground is shaking because of the elephant-shaped sura above them. They speculate that it must have died during the Cataclysm, which is why it did not get moved to the sura realm, and the Taraka fragment must be acting as a power source for the carcass.

The Taraka sura catches Siera and his party members then rescue him. Clari offers to carry him in her arms if he is tired, which he decisively refuses. The group criticizes Siera for his poor vigor management, Clari going as far as suggesting that Zard would have been a better priest.

Suddenly, Siera's scarf catches on fire, Lutz and Ruche use Hoti Varuna to put it out, and Agni teleports over. Siera attempts to help Agni battle the sura, only to end up getting saved himself. The sura is defeated and the party safely returns.
