I thought since we always get off-topic in "one-topic" boards, it'd be better if we had one board with spread thoughts^^....so Lumiz-san wouldn't go mad
Off-topic:
Lol. I'm not mad, but the admins/mod wanted to clean up just then the board won't look so messy, and also the discipline the rules-violators. But I'm sure none of you have to worry atm
I mean, the person mad maybe LW or SLi,
Anwayz, I think the past of the both of them is the key (well, everyone knows that), and I thik might be something that made their relation dangerous, and it was a must to put him to sleep. I don't think Fye is really that evil
Moreoever, this is a plot mystery *twisted*, and this is what keeps us reading. Maybe somehow it would reveal to be something very unexpected (i.e. maybe it just looks like Fye who did it) The first impression I got from it, is that rather Ashura was in a dangerous state, and he was somehow driven into the evilness, then Fye was forced to put him to sleep.
Blah, my observations only.
but...but its a spoiler if you dont know who THAT guy is & we tell you~:P, you'll find out soon enuff~ coz its really obvious whats he's after and his relation is revealed in 1 of the later volumes 
fr my research: ashura appeared in the manga RG Veda done by CLAMP (duh~!!), he/she seems to have several forms (?! i dont understand that either~!!) remember ashura in vol. 8 & 9~? (human & statue forms) she seems to be 1 of the forms of the "ashura" in celes country, or so what the manga of RG Veda has~~i havent read it, i bumped across the info in a character guide somewhere~i dont remember~...
but it sure is intriguating...the way fye speaks about ashura, it seems that ashura is after his neck or something more worse than that such that fye has to travel * run across not different places in celes but across dimensions...is it possible to rule out that fye did something that angered ashura so~? perhapes the "putting ashura asleep in the pond-thingy" is 1 of them...then why has fye got to run if he was the 1 who put ashura asleep, cant he do it again? if fye put ashura asleep, this points again to fye trying to buy time for his escape (coz of his actions we are still not in the know about??hmmz....) to dimensions~? & the tattoo that yuuko took fr fye as payment for using mokona to travel, i suppose its possible to rule out that its a weapon/tool (like kurogane & his sword) which he later says that he uses magic with & refuses to use magic without it which again he later states to yuuko. thus he can use magic WITHOUT the tattoo but fye doesnt strike me as an fool who doesnt want to use his magic when the time calls of it (life danger situations like the time wif the melting bubbles) or is it rather he CAN'T use it~? is it probable too that if he uses magic then he'll weaken/degenarate coz of the loss of his tattoo??
bleh~i'm juz ruling out my thoughts~~
I agree with your observations on the magic bit
