= Whatever happened to Mystery of the Emblem? =

On 2016-07-10, [https://www.reddit.com/user/inreality_ /u/inreality_] made [https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/4s5xtr/whatever_happened_next/ a post] to /r/fireemblem entitled "Whatever happened next?". It linked [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc9Melq-4Fw this video] on the previously-used In Reality channel.

== ABBA ==

The video was eventually solved by Discord user Randomiser. It used the tracks ''Theme of Encounter A'' and ''Theme of Encounter B'' from ''Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem''. By noting that the video showed a circle around A and a dash through B, this was deciphered to be Morse Code, ultimately decoding to <code>EMBLEMMYSTERIES.B</code>.

== Sara returns? ==

This led to https://emblemmysteries.blogspot.co.uk, which appeared to feature the return of [[Sara]] from [[Mystery of the Emblem]]. [[whizzer0]] was confirmed to be the puppetmaster of In Reality. The blog explained what had been happening since the end of Mystery of the Emblem; with the slight confusion that Sara was supposed to have died.

On 2016-07-10, [https://www.reddit.com/user/mysteryoftheemblem /u/mysteryoftheemblem] made [https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/4sbe3w/incomingsignal/ a post] to /r/xenoblade_chronicles entitled "incomingsignal". It linked to a [https://soundcloud.com/user-986949540/the-key SoundCloud file] which was part of the song '''The Key We've Lost'' from ''Xenoblade Chronicles X''.

Discord user A4 eventually solved it by interpreting the on-and-off nature of the audio as binary, yielding this result:

Discord user Crauss solved this as a Vigenere by finding the key <code>wevelost</code>, yielding https://heroesoflightandshadow.ml, a blog belonging to [[Yukimura]]. Intriguingly, all the posts are from 2058.

== Trials and tribulations ==

On 2058-07-13, [[Yukimura]] put up a [https://heroesoflightandshadow.ml/wordpress/2058/07/try-this/ document of challenges] from their [[Chloe|roommate]]. A [https://heroesoflightandshadow.ml/wordpress/2058/07/more-trials/ second file] was put up two days later. The solutions to the fifteen challenges will not be spoiled here.

On 2058-07-16, a [https://heroesoflightandshadow.ml/wordpress/2058/07/42/ post] from an unknown user was added to Yuki's Blog. Discord user VintageKeith realised that the audio contained a hidden SSTV image and revealed this message:

<code>OLRTOSUOVDAAMUEILQ</code> would return again in future hacked messages and was later solved to mean <code>[[AWBO|ARCHANEAWILLBEOURS]]</code>.

== Once more into the sim ==

Yukimura decided to add two more units, [[Archanea#Kath|Kath]] and [[Archanea#Trevor|Trevor]], to the [[Archanea|simulation]] to attempt to prevent [[Sara]] from going to [[Archanea#Sarrow|Sarrow]]. However, this failed and both units were killed in Sarrow.

Another hacked [https://heroesoflightandshadow.ml/wordpress/2058/07/message-within/ post] featuring an audio file was added on 2058-07-18. It also contained an image, presumably intended to be identical to the SSTV image hidden in the audio:
