After running into Emit, I went off to find these “descendants”.  How am I supposed to find 8 of them? How am I supposed to not screw anything up to accidentally kill them off? 

I eventually ran into a young lady who had the fiery hair like Cleo.  Maybe she knows something.

"Uhhh…hi.  I’m looking for the Bard family."

"Oh? Why are you looking for them?"

"Well, my name is Shinryu.  I’m, uh…this is gonna sound odd, but I’m from the past.  I’m looking for family members of mine.  Just to meet and greet."

Her face lit up.

"Oh my Goddess! You’re our…great…great…times infinity great ancestor!"

"Oh, so you know them?"

"Hell yeah, I’m Vanessa! I’m one of those family members you’re looking for!"

She looked at me a bit strangely.

"But you don’t seem to look like any of us…"

So I guess that is what Emit meant when he said Cleo’s genes are strong…

"Anyways, I gotta go! I’m going swimming! The rest of us can be found there!"

I nodded and headed over to the venue.  I saw at least 3 of them.

(Not entirely sure what’s going on with this one.  Must be a wild child)

They were always on the move.  I couldn’t get any of them to talk to me.  Then I ran into an older gentleman.

"Hey, I know you don’t know me, but I’m looking for the Bards.  I’m their…umm…great-great…times infinity great ancestor.  Yeah, it’s weird, but—"

"Say no more!  I knew that weird blue-haired guy was up to no good! Get out of here, and don’t fuck anything up for the rest of us!"

Ouch.

I’ve come to the conclusion that my ancestors don’t seem to want anything to do with me, so I headed back to the time portal and back home.
