【 Ys Origin 】 Blood to Blood

Playlist: • Ys Origin (Hugo/Nightm...
Hugo's hustle through the Blighted Blood leads to an unexpected run in with Epona yet again. They both feign interest in an opportunity for their final battle, mutually laughing their attempts to find a reason. Epona lets Hugo know that their leader Dalles has completed preparations for the ritual and is now in search of Reah and the Pearl himself. Though Hugo isn't impressed with Epona's judgment of his strength, he takes her warning of him to heart.
Further in the dungeon, Hugo runs into Yunica who stands amidst the other knights, now all petrified statues. She details her encounter with the powerful sorcerer that caused this, and Hugo, not keen on curses, tells her to consult Cadena or Father Shion. Yunica, knowing of Hugo's reputation for magic, persists in asking him for assistance, but the Fact brushes her requests off in an effort to maintain an efficient search. Yunica calls Hugo out on belittling the affair, before storming away after claiming his power is useless if he only keeps it for himself.
Hugo continues on, reflecting on the truth in her words. His search brings him to a dead-end on an outside balcony, where his brother Toal corners him. Seeing that his younger brother is indeed stronger, Toal still questions whether Hugo put any thought into his words about power at their previous meeting. He tells Hugo that they will never be like each other and gives him a replica Black Pearl as a favor for the knights. Knowing it contains a fair measure of magical strength and still unable to read his brother's actions, Hugo brings the artifact to Rado's Annex.
There, Hugo finds Yunica consulting with Feena, and realizes the replica's purpose as a power source for an idol capable of reversing the knight's petrification. Feena is able to join the two, and Yunica takes it back to the Knights post-haste. Feena thanks Hugo for bringing hope to a hopeless situation, but he redirects the sentiment to Toal before making his leave, leaving the Goddess to worry for his disposition.
Back in the Blighted Blood, Hugo checks on the results of the Dreaming Idol to see that Yunica was successful. The Knights thank Hugo for his efforts, easing the lingering tension between the two sides. Galleon hands over a Medallion found during their trek through the Tower, and the Knights return to base to recover. Yunica stops to apologize for her earlier behavior, and Hugo does the same, admitting he treated the situation poorly. Grievances with his allies behind him, Hugo forges on.
