As they went through the apparent darkness that hid Eruyt from the outside world, they would soon make their way into the village. It didn’t matter how many times that Jaakuna saw Eruyt. He was always blown away at how such a large village was hidden away from Ivalice. Of course he knew clearly it was the manipulation of mist, but that still didn’t stop him from being totally surprised by it. Even more so how perhaps living in the village was starting to appeal to Jaakuna. Maybe it was that one mention that Aloa made of him living among them. That still resonated with Jaakuna. As he kept thinking about it, Jaakuna and Emiri kept on walking and it wasn’t until that they saw the viera gathered around as if in a circle of some kind. When Jaakuna and Emiri’s presence became known, the viera dispersed. By this point, it looked like Ryua was in pain and Mtra was trying to help her out. Jaakuna wondered what exactly had happened, but before he could even get the chance to ask, Aloa came into view and Jaakuna heard something about the influence of ‘him’ and The High Seraph. He could only assume that they were talking about Zodiark and Ultima. On to what exactly it was had Jaakuna wondering. Aloa would soon turn her attention to Jaakuna and Emiri and would further state that fate does not seem to give way to surprises. Jaakuna laughed slightly at that. [b]“Good to see you too, Aloa.”[/b] Jaakuna said with a sly chuckle. He then looked to Emiri with a half-smile, then he gave a look to Aloa. [b]“I wish I could say that we’re here for a casual visit.”[/b] Jaakuna admitted, [b]“It is urgent that I speak with you in private.”[/b] Jaakuna said, looking at Emiri briefly before turning his gaze to Aloa.
