After joining up with the villagers who had left on the Journey of Hope, Yotsuya's party starts to notice that everyone is complaining of feeling tired, reminding them of what happened at Jiffon Island. When the group is attacked by monsters, a surprising figure from their past shows up and saves them. He also tells them that he's been pursuing Dragon Bishops, that their evil influence is spreading, and that he knows why all the local monsters are so much stronger than the norm.
The village I found along the way was 
destroyed, so I thought I was too late,
القرية التي وجدتها على طريقة كانت قد
تدمّرت، فظننت الأوان قد فات
Das Dorf, das ich auf dem Weg fand,
war zerstört, und ich dachte, ich sei zu spät.
De camino me encontré con una aldea
destruida y me temí lo peor,
De camino me encontré con una aldea
destruida y me temí lo peor,
J’ai trouvé le village dévasté
et j’ai cru arriver trop tard…
Il villaggio che ho trovato lungo la strada era distrutto 
e ho pensato di essere giunto troppo tardi,
A aldeia que encontrei no caminho foi destruída,
então pensei que era tarde demais,
По пути я проходил разрушенную
деревню. Уже думал, что опоздал.
