This is...

I don't get it.
I thought we were
going underground.

Look over there.
It's the moon.

It can't be... we actually
returned to the surface?

That's... a thin clump of aer.
I think it's supposed to act as
a replacement light source.

So, is this supposed to be paradise?
The Garden of the Waning Moon,
or whatever you called it?

It's unique, I'll give you that.
But I don't see how it's a paradise.

Aye. I can't figure out what this
place is supposed to be either.

Woof!

You, over yonder,
different from us.
Whence came?

Huh...?

Uh... Above. We
came from above.

Above? Cannot be.
Bad omen. Understand?

Do you all live here?

...Looks like they're
scared of you.

W-well, could you please
tell us where we are?

City of Waning Moon.
You, same as us, know not?
Strange.

The waning moon...
So this really is paradise?

Cannot speak, too difficult.
Master Ohma knows all.

Seek knowledge there.
Ohma will speak.

Ohma?

Master. Cannot see.
Only speak. Inside.

Hey, what's with that
weird way of talking?

I kind of get the feeling
it's some sort of archaic
form of speech. Just a bit.

So, is this where our
journey was leading?

So this is the paradise we get after
our endless descent from Zaude....

Aye... it's not exactly
what I had in mind.

What, disappointed about not
findin' some amazing treasure?

People live here, so you can't
just scrounge around.

Since we came all this way, we
might as well get some answers.
Let's see what this Ohma has to say.
