Sometime around when Aries awakened his zodiac demons again and sent them out prior to the events of her story she was one of many women kidnapped and taken away by the Scorpion Bandits, it was here she first saw the zodiac demon Scorpio himself. he would from there make her his personal dancer by force to appease his boredom in exchange for not selling her off. During her time being locked away in the hideout, she would meet a chimera who was down in the dungeons. Avila was tossed into said dungeon with the lone chimera. This chimera sensing her troubles would from there begin to give her comfort and company it did not take long for the two to begin bonding for Avila it was someone to latch onto in her troubled time as she knew she would never likely see the light of day outside again. Eventually, during her days there Avila and Ondra formed a link this link allowed her to communicate with the chimera who was revealed to be a special chimera meant to be sentient and able to commune with other species however Ondra was deemed a failure and was tossed down there to later be disposed of. Avila would proceed to give the chimera a name that which being Ondra.

It is during her time being held captive by the bandits and being Scorpio's personal dancer the darkling would discover she actually had a passion for dancing and later would enjoy it and would continue to do said thing even after being set free. Avila catches wind of the existence of the Kinmaki Wonder the Holy Grail through Scorpio's mention however during this time she had stopped dancing due to being exhausted not happy with her disobeying orders Scorpio beat Avila brutally and cruelly this beating the worst punishment she had ever gotten from the zodiac demon would result in one of her horns being forcibly severed which caused her great pain and agony leaving her with a broken horn and only one atop her head instead of two. It would be not long later that Avila would meet and briefly speak with Bella and Tia.

Bella was carrying an unconscious Mina in her arms and she would explain to Avila much to the darklings surprise that Scorpio was no more and Mina was the one to thank for their freedom left in disbelief that a lone young human girl could do such a thing she decided to set out to leave. However, instead of going back home and to reunite with her sister right away, Avila decides since she has been there so long and now that she has Ondra she would remain on the Lavitz Islands and settle there making the islands her new home.
