Chapter 1-2

Alcia Flashback
Alcia is introduced as the sister of Elenai. She has been hunting her for eight years, fueled by resentment. Her sister destroyed the life she once had and tore her family apart. Alcia has survived on her own since she was a teenager while her sanity slips away. She is the daughter of Zade, the Jarl of Mushando: an island within the Nation of Shio, known for its practice of Dark Magic.

Alcia wakes up in a shelter with her body in great pain. She is in a deeply malnourished state. She attempts to flee the building, but is intercepted by a God. Elwood. She recognizes him and says his name. He is the one who put her on the path to hunt Elenai. Now, he offers her to join him and together they can find her.

Alcia
She jolts awake from the nightmare of her time meeting Elwood. She has a moment of doubt about Elwood but within seconds she hears his reassuring voice. She listens as he comforts her. His presence makes her feel safe.

Elwood tells Alcia, harkening back to the prologue, that they are successful in capturing Upsilon but Lambda has gotten away. He also mentions that Minori must have liked her to spare her life as he is a ruthless killer.

During their conversation, Alcia shivers which prompts Elwood to lay his cloak on her back to keep her warm. Over their time together, Alcia has begun to see him as a father figure. And without knowing it, Elwood has begun to see her as a surrogate daughter.
