Then just as the last traces of her soul disappeared, a tiny point of light emerged from the ashes.
It floated quietly through the darkness before drifting toward Emery and sinking into his body.
A fragment of her soul.
A fragment of her memory.
Emery immediately focused his Divine Sense on it.
Images began to unfold within his consciousness.
Her name was Sesani.
She had once been the Abbess of an order of warrior nuns whose temple was hidden deep within one of the Thirteen Mountains. For centuries, the order had remained isolated, training its disciples and protecting the sacred mountain.
Then, twenty years ago, everything changed.
The Scourge reached the western continent.
The warrior nun order was called to the front lines, and Sesani had personally led her disciples into battle. She had fought alongside the Sunveil Supreme herself during the Battle of the Western Continent.
And they had lost.
