While trying to flee from the disaster, Queen Lyra of Elis sought refuge with the Arcadians at their borders. This turned out to be a fatal decision, as the Arcadian soldiers, at Siro's orders, murdered her and all she traveled with. Markus Mallory, the queen's bodyguard, arrived too late to save her, but was able to take her daughter Auréle and take her away from the scene before they too would be slain.

The distressing news sends her back to Elis, across hundreds of miles all alone, to stand at the foot of the fiery mountain, in the place that had been her mother's kingdom.
