Evilsteady 2 16.5 It's Raining.

All of you gather together at the behest of Nel. He's gathered all of you claiming that Aeria is soon to depart from this world.
Fearing the worst you rush to her room where she's laid sleeping for three days. When you arrive she rests motionless.
A sudden gust blows the roof from the building and the sky turns dark. You sense that something irreversible is about to happen.
As Aeria lays silently on her bed a black flame envelops her body. The flame whips and twirls as it rises heatlessly into the sky.
You look on powerlessly, unable to escape the feeling this is somehow your fault, as the flame washes over her followers one by one lifting their spirits painlessly from their bodies.
The Kitsune looks up knowingly as he turns to the four of you. "I don't know what mission she was sent here with, but if it's going to be completed it will fall to you."
"Do not forget that she brought you together, and never forget what you owe her." The black flame wraps around the fox-man.
"The little dove has exhausted all of the energy binding her to this plain in order to revive the two of you, now she has to return home."
"I'll make sure to keep her company... she'll be watching you fools. If you disappoint her I'll make you regret it." Nel says as he closes his eyes.
The pillar of dark flame then swirls into a large ball and ascends screaming up into the heavens. Aeria's treasure, save her sword and armor, lays on her bed.
You stare unblinkingly as a massive deformed hand with leathery black skin reaches down from the clouds and carefully takes the ball of flame into it's palm.
As the hand retreats the clouds roll back and the sky slowly returns to normal.
An empty feeling of loneliness washes over you as you look up into the sky. She's gone...

It is now up to the four of you to decide what happens next.
