In the Black Forest in the [[Feita]] region, the girl who would later be known as [[Laby]] lived. A voice in her head forbade her from leaving the Black Forest. She befriended a small young monster, but upon its death, her grief manifested into a mirror, a physical manifestation of her sadness. Laby forgot all about her friend, and her mirror became her new companion. During her time in the forest, she saw three lights.

Laby and Bellonde
The Girl in the Black Forest
In the Black Forest in the Feita region, the girl who would later be known as Laby lived. A voice in her head forbade her from leaving the Black Forest. She befriended a small young monster, but upon its death, her grief manifested into a mirror, a physical manifestation of her sadness. Laby forgot all about her friend, and her mirror became her new companion. During her time in the forest, she saw three lights. The first at the end of the Nasod War when the El Lady restored the power of the El, the second 500 years ago when the El Exploded, and the third when the Large El was restored by the hand of Elsword. When the third light shone, the voice which tethered her to the forest disappeared.
Bellonde Gaia
After the restoration of the El, Bellonde Gaia was reawakened from his long slumber in the Earth El of Velder. He learned of Elrianode's reawakening and set it as his destination. Before departing, after learning of the First Earth Priestess, his sister Verdel's fate and place of burial, he chose pay it a visit before departing.
Nisha Labyrinth
When Bellonde found his sister's grave, he met the mysterious girl of the Black Forest. Gaia was oddly suspicious of how she could've existed in the forest of demonic energy. After defeating the monster which had lured them with fake calls of help, Gaia worried for the child. Learning that the girl didn't have a name, he told her about the forest they were in, Nisha Labyrinth; she adopted the name Laby, and named her mirror Nisha. With Bellonde planning to meet with his teacher Denif, he decided to take Laby with him, hoping that he might potentially know more about what the girl was.
The Sea, the Ship, and the Teacher
Leaving the Black Forest, they found themselves on the border of Velder, overlooking the East Lurensia Port town. They were greeted by a port worker who told them about what had happened since the demon war and how the El Search Party paved the way for them to reclaim the capital. The worker told them that the Ponggos from Altera had come and introduced Nasods to them to aid in the restoration process. Such technological advancements included a ship that would be able to take them straight to Lanox.
The port however was under siege by some monsters. Laby and Bellonde cleared the area out, however Laby found the creatures oddly familiar. Bellonde was surprised to see how resilient Laby appeared to be when taking harm and how cheerful she remained in spite of being attacked. While they waited for the ship workers to finish repairs on the ship, Gaia decided he could teach Laby how to fight, becoming her teacher.
After the repairs were complete, the two boarded The Lariness and set sail. The captain had taken them through riskier waters in an attempt to speed their route, but they were ambushed by mermaid pirates. He and Laby defended the ship when intruders suddenly retreated as the ship approached a violent storm, and was then attacked by the giant Leap Octopus. The remaining crew began to panic but Gaia and Laby did their best to fight the monster; at that time, Laby began to realize she couldn't understand what fear was. The octopus broke a hole through the ship which started to sink; as a last resort, Gaia focused and used his powers to lift the earth underneath the ship, grounding it. A tentacle knocked Laby off the ship by surprise. Gaia was too weak to help the girl, and unwilling to put the lives of the remaining crew at stake; he regretfully left Laby behind and stayed on the ship. He did manage to put a protective barrier around her so she wouldn't drown at sea.
North Fluone
Second Help
After being castaway, Laby ended up washing ashore in North Fluone. She was spotted by a Feudal Guard that worked under the lord of the land, the demon Nenya. The guard gave chase but Laby ran away. Mao saw and helped Laby escape the guards. The guards lost her but reported news of the intruder up to the lord. Mao and Laby hid out; Mao told her that the guards patrolled the Bamboo Forests and prevented the townspeople from leaving. Not wanting Laby to head into town, she took Laby to her home in the mountains.
They eventually made it to Mao's house, where she introduced Laby to her grandfather, Calonne. He accepted Mao's plea to offer Laby asylum.
Where Faith Comes Together
Calonne was kidnapped by the guards. Mao was devastated and they decided to pursue his captors. The two took a shortcut through the dokkaebi-infested forest. The two reached the Lord's Keep gates and were confronted by the Captain Guard; he told them that Calonne was arrested by order of Nenya himself. The guard refused to let them through and they fought, defeating the guard and having no choice but to make their way to the prison.
The two snuck into the keep and tried to hop the roofs in the darkness of night. They learned that the soldiers were demons. Wandering through the corridors, Mao found her grandpa's glasses; surprised to see that, Laby accidentally discovered a hidden passage. They followed the path and found themselves underground, but were attacked by Gunther. Halting them from reaching the Underground Prison, Laby fought and defeated Gunther. Mao was okay due to a device in her necklace that Calonne has made for her.

Noah Ebalon
The First Two Cycles
Noah awoke in the Temple of Time due to the restoration of the Large El. He initially went to Lanox to learn more about his situation and traveled around before returning to Northern Lanox, only to discover the region had been hit with an unknown disease. Investigating the old manor in the area, he believed he found his brother's imposter and managed to get his revenge, but died in the process.
He then found himself waking up in the temple once again. This time, he helped a girl, Yuria who then unsealed a sickle which awakens Clamor, allowing him to talk to Noah unbeknownst to both of them. She then took him to the Landar Camp and tried to help with the recent epidemic spreading across the camp. Going through, they visited the old manor where Noah uncovered that Clamor's incubators were directly tied to whatever horrific experiments were being conducted at the facility.

Before Noah could regain consciousness, the Landars searched the ruins of the lab but couldn't find traces of Titania. Noah still being unconscious, Yuria took him with the Landar Camp and continued their trip toward Elrianode.
Lithia Beryl
Start of the Case
Lithia received a commission from a hooded individual to place sensors in the outskirts of Elrianode. After completing her commission, she traveled down to Sander on the way back to Feita to meet up with her client. While in Sander, she ran into her old friend Mathi and together, they took on a commission from Emirate to investigate nearby ruins. Reaching the bottom of the ruins, they awakened a wraith who grabbed and cursed Lithia, before they managed to flee and report back to Emirate. Mathi's client, Vera, convinced Lithia to join her as a bodyguard to escort her to Velder, as they were both headed that way.

They killed the corrupted beast, but Lithia saw the source of the corruption was the Rift; she tried to reach, out but it disappeared before she could get close.
Chaos in Denice
The group descended into Port Town Denice the following morning and tried to book themselves a ship to Velder. The town was suddenly attacked by sea creatures fleeing the waters due the awakening of an ancient Nasod golem. The group each helped defend and aid the civilians till reinforcements from the Senace Guardians arrived. Due to their aid, the Guardian Officer granted them passage to Velder.
Swallowed by Rage
On the ship, chaos broke out as a Rift manifested inside a statue of the Goddess, radiating madness which caused passengers to start acting like bandits. Lithia, also affected by this madness, began to rampage till she encountered the statue. Breaking its head, she saw the Rift and tried to reach out before getting pulled back by Mathi. The Rift disappeared and the situation on the ship went back to normal.
Signal of the Festival
Finally arriving to Velder, they are guided to a secret cover beneath the castle where Laudius escorts Vera to prepare for her speech. Mathi ventured back to the Harmony Festival while Lithia noticed her client present. She snooped around and learned of a conspiracy between her client and Laudius to sow discord across Elrios and rally the nation for an inversion of Elrianode to seize the Large El.

Trapped in the Rift, she and the Society Member talked for a time; the Society Member deducing Lithia was being protected by someone's power. Eventually they parted ways, though this left Lithia to lament in her isolation. The Rift Inside the Rift manifested before Lithia as company, creating scenes of her memories to help her stay sane. Lithia lived and relived the scenes over and over again countless times; until one day, the El Masters detected and pulled Lithia out from her prison. Only in her very last moments did she realize the Rift Inside the Rift was not a manifestation of her mind, but a product of Mathi's consciousness.
