Lyra’s life changed dramatically when she encountered Savina Von Stein, the enigmatic Lich Queen. Captivated by Savina’s charisma and immense power, Lyra was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Recognizing Lyra’s potential, Savina began to mentor her, offering access to forbidden knowledge and unparalleled magical abilities. Seduced by the allure of dark magic, Lyra abandoned her former life, choosing to follow Savina and delve into the mysteries of necromancy.
