We'll head to the outskirts of the village first, then set the seeker to detect fire-aspected aether.
Optional dialogue
SeNsOrS sEt To DeTeCt AeThErIaL aSpEcT: fIrE.
Right, the seeker is ready to go. Worlar's Echo is still suffused with the Skyruin's residual aether, so I've excluded it from the search area to prevent it from swamping the sensors.
Let's begin tracking, shall we?
AfFiRmAtIvE! tRaCkInG nEaReSt SoUrCe Of FiRe-AsPeCtEd AeThEr!
Once you choose to depart, Erenville will accompany you. The aether seeker will then begin leading you onwards.
Follow the aether seeker to its destination without falling behind.
If you leave Erenville for any reason, or lose sight of the aether seeker, you may try again by returning to the starting point.
Follow the aether seeker?
Optional dialogue
Don't look at me─the seeker is pointing the way.

Cutscene 1
Not quite the legendary creature we were after.
Would you mind dealing with that fire sprite? It will continue to confuse the seeker if we leave it be.
Cutscene End
A necessary measure, I'm afraid.
Let's try this again...

Cutscene 2
Frightening enough, but again, not what we were looking for.
If you would be so kind...?
End Cutscene
My thanks. I'd ask if it gave you any trouble, but considering who I'm talking to...
Seeker, resume tracking. And do try to point out something useful this time.

Cutscene 3
Ah, another remnant of Valigarmanda's last rampage. The crater's flames registered to the seeker as corporeal aether...
In the words of the Tuliyollal Saga, when Valigarmanda rages out of control, its fire burns forever, its ice does not thaw, and its lightning crackles without cease. Thus was the Dawnservant able to turn the Skyruin's perpetual magic against itself, trapping it within an unmelting prison of ice.
This is no mundane fire, but some kind of...everlasting sorcery. Once again, it is a strange feeling to see fanciful poetry proven true...
The important thing is that the fire was classified as living aether─we can feed a sample into the seeker and greatly improve its accuracy. One moment...

There. Now the seeker should ignore any aetheric signature but Valigarmanda's.
...Had I realized this was possible from the start, then you needn't have fought those creatures at all.
My apologies. It seems I still have much to learn from this journey─as a gleaner, and as a guide.
