【 Ys Origin 】 Interrogation

Playlist:    • Ys Origin (Hugo/Nightmare Mode)  

Hugo retraces his steps, finding stronger demons have taken residence in the Silent Sands. Upon defeating them, the Evil Ring becomes charged to capacity. With it, along with the charm from Rico earlier, Hugo is able to safely trick the door into opening for a non-demon.

Inside, Feena is trapped behind a barrier which seals off her power's influence. She's surprised to see the sorcerers having made it through the door, and she thanks Hugo personally for his efforts. When she mentions having recently spoken to Toal and noticing his concern for Hugo, the young Fact is quick to snap back at the Goddess, wishing for her to leave family matters alone.

The Holy Knights arrive and decide to stay and guard Cadena and the other sorcerers as they work on dispelling the barrier. Feena, however, deems this unnecessary, and reveals the purpose for her and her sister's reasoning for coming to the surface.

The search party learns that the rise of demons and the current state of affairs are due to the Black Pearl itself. Just as it spreads magic, the Pearl spreads a malevolent energy known as the Demonic Essence which twists and distorts the land. With the addition of Cleria ore, which amplifies both this Essence and Magic, underground, the land eventually sprung with an overwhelming amount of demons, the Essence itself being strongest at the surface. While the Darklings wish to harness this Essence and eventually grant it a physical form, Feena and Reah traveled to the surface in order to seal it away into the Black Pearl.

Feena pleads for the group to put the priority into finding Reah and the Pearl, to which they oblige. Hugo, however, is still suspicious of the Goddess and brings into question why she didn't inform the Six Priests of their abrupt departure for the surface. Feena only hints at a theory about the Priests, but promises to inform Hugo of the truth when the time is right when the time is right.

The group renews their search for Reah with haste, and as Hugo once more heads out Miuscha catches him with a small conversation. As she stumbles over getting across her concern for Hugo, he is quick to shut her up with his own impatience and frustration with being read under the shadow of his family. Nevertheless, Hugo realizes his hypocrisy in listening to Epona but not Miuscha, and after a brief berating from Cadena he gets on his way once more.
