Unfortunately when Arthur arrived in Vildorial, he was summoned to the Hearth by Avier to meet with Aldir, Mordain and Wren then he entered the Aether Realm to revive Sylvie and gain his third layer in his Aether core which took two months as the aether realm is disconnected from the real world. During this time the dragons arrived as a part of Arthur and Kezess deal to protect Dicathen then she got tortured by a dragon named Vajrakor who is assigned as the guardian of Vildorial but at last Arthur came with Varay then frees her from her imprisonment. She embraces him but slapped him as she was angry at him for leaving her for two months to which he accepts her anger and apolgizes that he did not know.

After entering the zone of the Four Clans, aka. the winter zone, she revealed her crown shaped dark horns indicating her awakened Vritra powers.

### Haedrig

As Haedrig, Caera looks like a slim man with curly moss-green hair and deep-set brown eyes.

## Personality

Other than her deceased brother, Caera has had no connections up until meeting Grey. Because her brother often took her to the Relictombs, she goes into them for her own enjoyment nowadays. She has no interest in war or glory of war with Dicathen knowing it is a self serving conquest as she does not enjoy killing those who did not hurt her thanks to her mentor's teachings. Like Seris she sympathize with the Dicathins for the suffering they went through because of her people being pawns in the Vritra and the Asura conflict. She shows respect to those who catch her interest like Grey.

## Background

Caera was born into a family with Vritra blood. After being verified as having Vritra blood traces, she was adopted by Highblood Denoir, a family that was supposed to raise her and train her, but due to the pressure from the Vritra to keep her safe, her relationship with them was always on the edge. She could only feel at ease with her brother, who would even sneak out with her to train. When her Vritra blood manifested, she was training with Scythe Seris, her teacher, who gave her two choices: she could either tell her family about her powers and be sent to the Vritra to be experimented on and turned into a soldier or she could hide her appearance and skills and keep living as the protected daughter of a highblood. When she chose to hide, the Scythe gave her a relic that could change her appearance, hiding her horns as well as making her look like Haedrig.

She was a graduate of the Central Dominion Academy.
