Everyone was glad the Emblem Eliwood reunited with his son and best friends, but now was not exactly the time to be completely happy.

Chisen risked her life to save Alear.  She was brave till the very end.  How were they going to tell Emma?

"Everyone!  You're back!"  Serena -who was with Felix and Dimitri putting away rubbles- says happily after the group arrives at the monastery.  

Serena however noticed their sadness in their eyes.

"What happened?  And where's Chisen?"  Emma asks panickly.

She was begging in her thoughts that she was fine but...  Leafa stepped forward and Emma's eye widened with horror and fear upon seeing Chisen's now lifeless body.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!"  Emma started weeping as she ran towards Chisen.  "Chisen wake up!  Wake up!"  She was crying her eyes out.  She lost EVERYON, even Katrina, daughter of Ferdinand and Dorthea from that world.  Now...  Emma was the only sole survivor from that world.

"I'm sorry Chisen."  Alear apologized.  It's my fault she had fallen.  If I was more careful, she would've been alright..."  Alear then looked away.  "I'm afraid it was one of the generals who had killed her.  As for the general's identity... I don't think you'll appreciate it..."

Emma then looks at Alear still shedding tears.  "Tell me...  Tell me who it is...  I beg of you!"

They all looked regretful.  If they told her the truth, she would break down.  But she deserved to know what Evil Veyle did to her mother...

"It...  It was your mother, Edelgard...."

Serena gasped and dropped a rubbel, Dimitri and Emma were equally horrified, and Felix was irritated as to how far Evil Veyle could go.

"In her last moments, she gave us her necklace and asked us to apologize to you on her behalf."  Edelgard explains.  "We're truly sorry for what had happened..."

Shortly after Chisen's funeral (they also made sure no remains remained so that Veyle could not/would not turn her into a corrupted), Emma locked herself in her room.

Bernedetta seemed to leave her room more often than usual and would leave flowers at the grave.

No one knows what Hubert's up to.  Only Edelgard knows, but she doesn't want to talk about it.

But the bigger problem was, EVERYONE from the TWSITD are now corrupted.  Both Byleths and Emblem Sothis are panicking for another reason....

"What are the chances she might revive Nemisis?"  Veyle asks with a slight hint of fear.  Currently, everyone was in the meeting room for the next battle.

"High."  The Byleths and Emblem Sothis said in unison.

"If our theory is correct, Nemisis -even in corrupted form- could target Rhea or St. Seiros first."  Emblem Sothis looks up to the tower where Rhea usually rested.  "That child's been cooped up in her room for about a week.  That's unhealthy- wait!!!"   Sothis recalled something VERY important.  "It may still be possible to find the weapons "the Immovable" and "The Wind Caller" still guard!"

Flayn knew that they were referring to her...  Chaotic(?) uncles...

"I'm assuming they are some kind of legendary beasts?"  Leonie asks with curiosity.

Byleth nodded his head.  "Correct.  We just need to pass a trial to gain the weapon from "Immovable", but "the Wind Caller" hates humans.  Especially the descendants of the 10 elites."

"Luckily!  I am here!"  Emblem Sothis declares.  "I may not completley remember them, but there may be a chance I can convince "the Windcaller".  But just to be safe rather than sorry, let us devise a back-up plan!"
