Himeka,

I don't know anything of Garleans and Allgans, but one of these may very well have been what we call the Fallen. Ultima is... an entity, of sorts. I've seen him myself. He has power over the hearts of men, and used it often to sway them to his own ends. I can't say that I know the details of his plan well enough to tell you if a Rejoining is what he was after, but that may very well have been the case.

[ Eikons being 'eaten' had also been a part of the plan, but Cid is more cautious about confirming that much. He doubts that Himeka is any danger to Clive, but even so -- it isn't Cid's information to reveal. ]

Well, do stop by Valisthea for a cup of tea if you run out of worlds to save. We could always use someone like you.

And speaking of, you and I best find a way to go fishing again sometime soon. I think you owe me a story or four at least.

~ Cid

P.S. I do like plants, and children. Separately. Perhaps you can show me one of these Sylphs of yours in the Horizon.
