Something he needed confirmation on? Emiri looked at Jaakuna rather curiously. What could it be? Before she could properly ask about it, however, a rustling sound would be heard. She nearly jumped out of her skin as the path to Eruyt would reveal itself to the pair. For a moment she looked at it in awe as it was the first time she had seen something like this. At the very least now she knew now how the viera were able to seclude themselves from the world for so long. As the pair would walk in she couldn't help but look around, curiousity abound. Yes, it was fact that this was her first time seeing all this, though surprisingly no viera were around the entrance of the village. The very few that were around pretty much ignored the pair as they walked in.

Not too far in did Emiri spot a peculiar sight. A few viera had gathered around in a group, though as a few of them would disperse would the scene be revealed. A viera clad in red was on the ground, writhing slightly, looking very pained. It was Ryua, and a very distressed Mtra has dropped to the ground, shaking her lightly. Whatever had happened, it was recent, and soon enough Aloa herself arrived at the scene. She would say something to the other viera, and they would hoist Ryua up, taking her away to somewhere deeper within the village.

"[b]...the influence of [i]him[/i] grows stronger by the day, and with only the High Seraph...the Mist will overwhelm us all.[/b]" Emiri heard Mtra tell Aloa.

"[b]I understand.[/b]" Aloa replied, and at that point she would turn to the pair. "[b]You've returned. The fates do not seem to tire of surprises, it would seem.[/b]"

Grant let out a huge sigh of relief, not even having realized this entire time he had been pretty much holding his breath. They had lived to tell the tale of the Omega Weapon, something people had only ever heard of. He had a hunch Emiri would definitely throttle them for not bringing her along now. He looked at Nadeline, who only shook her head. Zeromus would scoff once more and leave without saying a word. Why did he look so annoyed? The princess would then sheath her rapier, looking to the rest of the group. "[b]Well then...I suppose...we return and go the other way.[/b]" She shrugged.
