Aera assures Ardyn that even if everyone forgot about him due to the passage of time, she would always remember. Aera sneaks out of the castle to meet him and the two explore ancient ruins whose history is shrouded in mystery. While Somnus is out exterminating everyone suspected of being in danger of transforming into a daemon, Ardyn travels the countryside in secret to heal people by absorbing the malady into his own body.

The Oracles can commune with the gods and relay their messages to the rest of mankind. The Astral Bahamut chose Aera as the first Oracle, and she became the progenitor of what would become House Fleuret and the royal family of Tenebrae, her powers being passed down to the female descendants in her bloodline.
