As Emira's gaze fell upon Kell, Neria's met Maxim's for a moment, recognizing that look. She rallied beneath it, bolstering herself. Her hands curled in her lap. "Kell has told me some of what transpired. I'm aware of the danger the Black Night poses." Spreading to people like wildfire, burning through them. "It is to my understanding that many worlds have something similar, something dangerous that threatens their world in one form or another. My own world has the same and it is called a Blight. What I speak of, though, is not from my world."
Briefly, once more, she looked to Kell, and then her gaze returned to the King and Queen. "In Asora...there is a green gem that exists in the depths of the world. That gem is a piece of the heart of creation. And supposedly there are others. The Blight in Asora - something I have not witnessed personally - has set its sights upon this gem. If Asora falls to ruin, this...this thing will continue to spread across other worlds, especially if those worlds have these gems. And I believe that most, if not all, worlds do, even if we have never seen them."
Neria breathed. "I understand you are concerned for the particular people who will come through the veil to this world. You should be, I agree. But this is the greater threat...and I do not think it will stop if the veil is closed." Her gaze was steady. "The worlds will weaken as the thread of creation shrivels and collapses, as it breaks off from Asora or any world that falls in a similar manner. And the Blight will find its way here in one form or another, perhaps even as the Black Night. It has already warped itself to adapt to other version of the Blight, called the Starscourge. It may try to do so again."
She should not speak above a King or Queen, and yet, she had some small authority over this - as godling, as protector. As Warden-Commander. Unconsciously mirroring Kell's arrival to Asora, she spoke as an ambassador might before another head of court. "It does not change our course - to close any holes in the Veil and ensure a proper defense to protect your borders. But it is information you must know."
