Emetselch 	A frantic search will avail us little. We must be clever about this...
 	
Venas 	In the Final Days, aether is twisted by the invasion of dynamis from beyond the star, its progress intensified by feelings of fear and despair and anguish...
Venas 	Nay, I like not the picture which emerges with these latest pieces.
 	
Hermes 	My apologies, I... We should focus on the task at hand.
 	
Hythlodaeus 	Correct me if I'm wrong, but Meteion renders herself invisible by matching her aetheric density to that of her surroundings, does she not?
Hythlodaeus 	If so, could we not then disrupt her concealment with a surfeit of aether? Much how Emet-Selch solidified your presence when first we met you!
Emetselch 	Don't be absurd. I can hardly channel aether to a recipient whose whereabouts are hidden from me.
Hythlodaeus 	Which is why we must all work together.
Hythlodaeus 	[Player Name] will continue the search in the same manner as before, but this time with you in tow. Once s/he ascertains Meteion's likely location, you proceed to reveal our wayward familiar with a swift aetherial downpour!
Venas 	Very clever. And thankfully, she has made herself easier to capture by fleeing towards Lethe.
Venas 	Assuming she is made visible, it should prove no great feat to herd her into a corner.
Hythlodaeus 	Then we have our plan. [Player Name] and Emet-Selch will be our tracker and trapper respectively, while we others predict and obstruct Meteion's avenues of escape.
Hythlodaeus 	Emet-Selch and I will keep an eye on each other's aether to help coordinate our efforts. Let us be about it!
Emetselch 	...Well, it seems we are partners for the time being. Let us return to where we last saw Meteion and pick up the trail from there.
Emetselch 	I will keep myself in a state of preparedness, ready to rain down aether at a moment's notice─meaning it falls to you to keep the way clear.
 	
Emetselch 	Now, did Meteion go straight ahead towards the pier...or did she stray from the path somewhere?
Emetselch 	As the only one who can hear her voice, you will need to take the lead.
 	
Emetselch 	Aren't you the one who went to all the trouble of traveling into the past to avert an impending apocalypse? But fine, fine, be my guest! I will await you at the entrance to Lethe.
 	
Emetselch 	The would-be savior of Etheirys past and future returns. After you, my good hero.
 	
Emetselch 	Nothing this way? We try another route, then.
 	
Meteion 	Why can't I fly? Are my functions being restricted!?
Meteion 	Hide─yes, I'll just have to hide, then. Where no one can find me...
 	
Emetselch 	She went into the lake!? As if this wasn't tiresome enough...
Emetselch 	Well, at least that open expanse should make her easier to find. We won't lose her this time!
 	
Emetselch 	Ugh. The indignation, to drag my robe through the water. Hythlodaeus better not breathe a word of this to Azem...
Emetselch 	Still, mild humiliation will be the least of our concerns if we fail to get our hands on Meteion!
 	
Emetselch 	We should be able to reach the bottom of this drop by climbing down the rocks at the water's edge.
Emetselch 	Do not even think of dragging me over the falls. Final Days or no, if I end up drenched from head to toe, I swear I will feed you to a remora.
 	
Meteion 	Not here... I'm not here... Please...
Emetselch 	By that rock, is she? Very well!
Meteion 	What? Why can't I hide!?
 	
Meteion 	[Player Name]...? What are you saying? Everything is so faint...
Meteion 	I'm sorry... I'm not strong enough. Stay away. I'm begging you...
Meteion 	Don't make me say it. It will break him. His poor, fragile heart...
Emetselch 	Now we have a chance.
Emetselch 	Once the others are in position, the two of us can herd her into their midst!
 	
Emetselch 	Keep after Meteion! Hythlodaeus and I will coordinate our movements!
 	
Emetselch 	Is this neus not in use? It seems to have been left to the mercy of the elements...
Emetselch 	Either way, it bears no trace of Meteion's essence. We move on!
 	
Emetselch 	There! I see her!
 	
Emetselch 	Now, where to close the trap...?
 	
Hythlodaeus 	...
 	
Venas 	If all Hermes means to do is listen to Meteion's report, then it is his right to do so.
Venas 	But once he receives the answers to his question, what then? The fate of the world may very well hinge upon the choice he makes in that moment...and we must be there when he makes it.
 	
Emetselch 	Why, Hermes? Why could you not leave well enough alone!?
Emetselch 	Will these answers assuage the pain you feel when a creation is returned to aether?
Emetselch 	Had you never cast your accursed question to the distant stars, you may have one day learned to be at peace upon this one...
