===The Dark Sovereign===
"The Regent — who commanded authority in the king's stead."
Volyx served as the court regent. He is a spectral figure mainly composed of black smoke. The item upon his head signifies authority, as with an aura he has that causes wanderers and entities alike to respect him. However, the Sovereign is also quite dangerous, as everything he touches will instantly turn to mere crystal.

That Is The Power That Love Has Over A Mind."
She was once a human who loved too much, and that same Love caused suffering and grief many times in her life. During the brink of death she showed resilience in persisting to live, for the love she felt towards others, that burning determination to protect and to maintain a promise. She did not die that day, but she did not live either, she was trapped in a purgatory in her own mind before she was freed and reawakened. Now she serves the great Priestess as a warrior of Sacrifice, ready to wield her sword to protect those in need.
