While Emily comes to terms with herself, we shall see what happens during the night.
As Emily sleeps, I keep an eye on her, and she seems to be getting happier and happier, then she starts speaking as if talking to somebody, but what she's saying was in the same language the Glonda Mek Tumia were speaking, which I figured out was Getra. Not only was it in Getra, it seemed to be reversed, so I recorded it on my phone to translate it later. That's when a dark face with glowing white eyes that have Omega symbols in them instead of pupils, comes out of her crystal and confronts me.

'Great' I think, groaning in response. "Why the hell are you even near Emily, bastard?!".

I do remember her saying something about making a deal with someone, but she didn't like the deal she made. "I doubt she did it willingly, she isn't as dumb as she may look, how did you get her to accept?"

The bastard. "What can I do to have you leave Emily alone you fucker?" I ask wanting to help Emily as best as I could.

I wasn't thinking straight at the time because I actually said, "I'll consider it." before he lets out a low chuckle, and disappears.
