That is interesting, because if there were any hints dropped at all I missed the lot. I'll have to go back and check to see when it might have happened.
(ETA: We see her cornered by two of Fate's girls, and then she shows up as if nothing had happened.)
In other news... I think I finally understand.
Nagi and Fate "defeated each other" ten years ago. Fate looked older twenty years ago than he does now. In fact, he and Negi appear to be the same
age. These are the facts, and here's my fully fledged speculation:
In their final confrontation in Istanbul, Nagi for some reason caused them both to regress to infancy. He made prior arrangements to have himself raised as
his own son. But unexpectedly, Fate retained his memories and is now ready to succeed where his master/creator failed -- in stripping Mundus Magicus of its
magic and reducing it to the lifeless red planet that the mundanes believe it to be.
That's my wild guess and I'm sticking to it.
