Noelle was waiting for us in Konoha. I knew she'd make it. She really
is amazing.
As soon as we found her, Emrls asked her to fly around the Qliphoth so that
he could check something. He didn't say what, but when he gets like that
there's always something up. I just hope it's nothing bad... Well, anyway,
let's go fly around the Qliphoth a bit.
Once we were airborne, we saw right away what Emrls was worried about.
The Sephiroth Trees supporting the outer lands were flickering, bright one
moment, dim the next as if they were going to disappear... That can't be
normal. Emrls said it was because the Sephiroth were out of control. That was
also part of the reason for all the earthquakes on the Outer Lands--they
weren't just because of the land falling.
Emrls said that there was a warning on the passage ring control panel about
the passage rings reaching their endurance limit. He said some sort of
influence on the Sephiroth probably made them go out of control, and the
passage rings hadn't been able to deal with it. At this rate the passage
rings will stop functioning soon, and the Sephiroth Trees will all disappear.
If that happens, all of the Outer Lands will fall into the Qliphoth, killing
everyone in the collapse. That can't be... What can we do...?
It seems even the people of Crystal City didn't expect that to happen. I
guess that's not surprising, since the fall of St. Binah wasn't foretold by
the Score either. Could this be the first time that Crystal's Score has been
wrong...?
Kitten says that there are some things even Vyers, the mayor of Crystal
City, isn't allowed to know, and that they may say something about what's
happening. The only one who is permitted access to those materials is the Fon
Master--so Sion might be able to tell us something. Gwen was worried about
the war, but after the descent into the Qliphoth, I doubt either side is
thinking about that. We decided to see Sion before heading to Baticul. He
should be in Daath--I hope he can help us...
Travelers in Daath were up in arms about being trapped with no ships
running. But with eighty percent of Rugnica as well as the Zao Desert gone,
it's certainly no time to be traveling on the sea. Apparently the war's come
to a halt too, so we'd better go see if Ion can help us.
Apparently Sion's room is protected against intruders by a fonic glyph that
only executives of the Order can use. But Saiyukiness knows how to use it, so let's
go find that fonic glyph.
Sion wasn't in his room. And talk about bad timing--just as we entered, we
heard Lahari and Camire approaching, so we hid in the shadows. Fortunately, they
didn't notice us, and we were able to overhear them talking about using Sion
to restart the war. How can they still be thinking about that at a time like
this? I can't believe it...
It looks like Lahari is trying to get the war restarted to fulfill the
Score, while Camire is bouncing back and forth between Lahari and Master Kyo for
his own ends. So what's Master Kyo trying to do? Is he really trying to
exterminate humanity? Since it's pretty clear what Lahari is up to, it might be
better to take care of him first.
In any case, we still have to talk to Sion. Lahari said he's in the library--
let's go see him.
