She was a level 38 cleric, Ellie. It had been a year since she witnessed the death of her sister deep in the Dungeon when she was still exploring Victoria Island.
Ellie was following her beloved Terra when they met with an ambush of wild cargos. Terra had dropped her Dark Ritual and that made it impossible for her to defend herself with magic. Ellie, then being only level 36, tried her best to heal her sister and save her. But the more she healed, the more the cargos came. The cargos had no intention of eating Terra. They simply saw her as another high-leveled toy to play with. For two solid hours, Ellie hung one-handed from a rope while her sister was crushed under the gargantuan feet of the cargos. Every burst of magic emitted from her wand was useless. Every cry for help was unheard. When it was over, all Ellie saw was a mass of blood and bones, the remnants of the Dark Anakarune and Dark Ritual.
You may ask, what is a level 79 fire mage doing, wearing an Anakarune? Terra was saving money just to afford safe lodging for her little sister in Kerning City, because the landlords everywhere else had no more empty units. In Kerning City, you could hear riots breaking out in the middle of the night, houses were broken into and people were killed. A safe home was Terra's first priority to provide for Ellie after the death of their parents in Perion.
When Ellie returned to Sleepywood, the people were astounded to see the young girl bedraggled and shaking uncontrollably with a bundle of black cloth and bits of a skull slathered with blood in her hands. After that, she was out of consciousness for 2 days, but in her mind, the horrific scene replayed continuously in bits and pieces of dreams.
When she'd finally awoken, Ellie transferred all the money Terra had saved for her, to a bank in Orbis. She had her sister's remnants buried in the ground of Sleepywood before setting off for Ellinia. Ellie no longer wanted to be upon the earth of Victoria Island.
"But I'll be back someday, you'll see." She told herself as she ascended the plank onto the ship heading toward Ossyria..
