As a child, Elaina Mason lost her parents to the darkness.  Orphaned, the girl was taken in by the brethren, raised to be one of their elite.  
Now at twenty-two, Elaina is no longer that same, weak child who could only watch as everything she loved went up in flame and ash.  She comes forth with the help of her comrades to protect what she now holds dear and wreaks vengeance and havoc against the dark days ahead.

Elaina the warrior

　　For two days after having her leg worked on Elaina was stuck in bed.  She spent the time reading through The Book of White, which Brother Isaac had happily lent her.


　　Try as she might, she couldn’t find anything remotely relevant to anything that was going on around the sanctuary.


　　When she wasn’t reading, she was spending time with Charise who had been bringing her, her meals.


　　On the third day Elaina had begun to grow bored and decided it was time to get up and moving again.


　　Testing her leg gingerly she got out of bed and headed towards the library.  She knew she had to find something that could help her better understand what the beginning of the end really meant since the book of white didn’t further explain.


　　It felt like needles stabbed her leg as she walked farther, but she pushed the pain aside.


　　By the time she reached the library she could feel small trickles of blood dripping down her calf, before long she knew it would be staining her pants.
