1850 Quiet Before the Storm (Part 2)

Elina answered Lith's question by wrapping her arms around him, Solus, and Trion, in a family embrace. Then, she started to shake uncontrollably and sob.

Seeing what kind of a monster Orpal had always been, learning the truth about Trion's death, and witnessing the carnage of the battle for Lutia had been too much for a simple farmer.

She had often seen the images of Lith's battles in his holograms, but she had never been in the eye of the storm before. Even during Night's first attack on the farm, no blood had been shed and Elina had always remained in the safety of her own house, surrounded by the Corps.

She tried to apologize to Lith for not having realized earlier who Orpal really was. To thank Solus for being the best daughter she could ask for. To tell Trion how sorry she was for him dying alone, far away from his family.
