I noticed a very similar story beat repeated between The Wheel Turns with my mom and A Beacon from Beyond by myself…
The antagonist approaches the Warrior of Light and the Scions, flashes their red mask, introduces themselves by name as an Ascian, and invites them to cooperate without fully elaborating on their mysterious motive.
Got me thinking about how narratives that run for a decade+ tend to echo themselves. I think the main difference is that with Emet-Selch, we really didn't know what the Ascians want, while with Halmarut, we do, but the how and why are still not completely clear.
