And so, she came upon one conclusion.
They were the clones of a homunculus who first reacted to the shield.
After Orzeca fell, and before the Ahib established themselves there,
O'dyllita was a land that saw countless factions rise and fall.
During that time, someone created the perfect homunculus
who could bind the shield with Quturan, the dying divine tree!
There's no doubt about it! They took on the will of Quturan,
attempting to continue cloning until their death.
Yes, cloned humans. Or, as they say in Orzecan, "Onelle",
which Ahib today also refer to as "Onelle".
Ah... I wonder who it was who dabbled in cursed alchemy
to use the seed of Echidna upon the flesh and souls of the dead...
The Ahib wasted no resources to find
the first one chosen by the shield, and yet, all that they found
was the feather of an eagle with a crumpled Delotia NPC Knowledge Item flower.
But, we feel that she is somewhere close by.
Here in Mediah, the cold that covered O'draxxia can be found.
According to the investigators, the area covered continues to grow.
Just like how that witch Illezra turned all those people into her followers!
She is building an army wherever she leaves frozen marks.
I feel a strong presence from Elric Shrine
and I feel we'll be able to find clear signs from there.

Yes, cloned Humans. Or, as they say in Orzecan, "Onelle."
...which is the same term used by the Ahib today.

It looks identical to the traces on the Memorial Stone at the Soldiers' Cemetery.
It's also emitting power similar to the quoratum.
Wait...looks like someone died here.
She looks vaguely...familiar.
And it's not just one... One, two, three...
You remember what the Ahib had told you.
People asked if I was Francesca Seric
but I was never Francesca Seric...
I am merely an Onelle of her...
This must be the truth that the Ahib were speaking of.
