Astrea shared her experience during the war against the demon force. She didn't try to hide or exaggerate how powerful the demon force was, especially the emissaries of evil, Kiel and Yaza. She also revealed how she ended up like that by offering her body to a divine being, an Angel.
Arandil listened to how powerless Uriel was, the 2nd Swordmaster of Neva. He knew that he was in a different league compared to Uriel, but he didn't expect that she couldn't even touch Kiel or Yaza, and the fact she was close to dying many times.
