When she encountered the [[Eliksni]], however, she would be assigned to their conversion to the [[Darkness]] at the behest of the Witness and sought to personally recruit [[Forum:Israhn|Israhn]] if all else failed. However, her plans would be foiled with the arrival of the [[Traveler]], as her master's great adversary immediately converted the Eliksni and dispatched [[Forum:Lumis, the Warden|Lumis]] to hunt her down. Following which, she would have been captured by the floral agent of [[Light]] and imprisoned deep within its lucent heart. During her incarceration, her warden would try to turn her away from the Darkness to no avail, where she was then put into a deep slumber, placed in advanced stasis and flooded with light to prevent her influence from spreading.

Divine Chorus[edit]

"I was made indispensable to them. I sang with pride and conviction in our Polyphony and I felt as my voice and mind breathed life for our world.
