Meikai

Meikai gave his life to seal Mikotsuhime and the other inhabitants of the Sea of Death away. Due to his death, Meikai's only appearances are in the form of references and memories of others. Prior to his disappearance, he had been given a choice by the Sea King to choose between his familiars as to who would possess the Sacred Sword; at the time this was happening, his former-familiar Old was listening in on the exchange. Meikai had drawn his decision and picked Tatsumiya to be the one to wield the Sacred Sword; the shark familiar was upset at the wizard's choice, thus leading him to betray Meikai and the Sea Kingdom. He was seen prior to performing the spell to seal Mikotsuhime and her supporters to the Sea of Death, expressing a collected demeanor to his possible death by sacrifice. Wadanohara is Meikai's beloved daughter. He sacrificed his life before Wadanohara was born to seal away Mikotsuhime. Wadanohara loves her father dearly, even if the only instance of them meeting is in a dream in which Meikai grants Wadanohara his staff, which was the only time they ever truly interacted with one another. A portrait of him is hung in the foyer of their house. While Meikai disappeared before he could personally meet his daughter, he loved her dearly in his final moments of life. After his death, he became the Cast Pearl above the Sea King's palace, posthumously protecting the kingdom and in a way, his daughter. Meikai met the Moon Spirit on the surface and soon fell in love with her, sneaking off to see her every night. She was cursed by the Sea King when he became jealous about losing his precious friend Meikai, later seen crying over her body. The Moon Spirit is Wadanohara’s mother, and she died way before Meikai’s passing. Tatsumiya was Meikai's trusted former familiar. One day it fell upon Meikai to choose one of his familiars to wield the Sacred Sword, and Meikai chose Tatsumiya. This later resulted in feelings of betrayal from Meikai's other subordinate and Tatsumiya's colleague Old. After the Sea of Death's first invasion, Meikai entrusted Tatsumiya to take care of his daughter Wadanohara moments before his death. Tatsumiya greatly respects and cares deeply for her former master, continuing to refer to herself as his familiar even after his death. She also continues to grieve for Meikai centuries after his death, often expressing sorrow when alone over his passing. Old was Meikai's former familiar. Sometime in the past, Meikai had been given a choice to choose between his familiars as to who would wield the Sacred Sword; his ultimate choice was Tatsumiya causing Old to defect from Meikai and join the Sea of Death's forces. Aounabara was Meikai's companion. Meikai was created by Satanick as a friend and companion for Aounabara. When Aounabara discovered Meikai had fallen in love with the Moon Spirit, he became upset his dear friend and "precious treasure" had been taken from him. He cursed Meikai's lover, deeply hurting Meikai, subsequently causing the Sea King to fall into a deep slumber as he felt unfit to be king. Meikai later contemplates if things could have been different if he had forgiven Aounabara. However, despite his regrets, he knows time will not turn back, and the world has since changed. Meikai is the one who afterwards sealed Aounabara's daughter Mikotsuhime into the Sea of Death.
