Ophelia stood tall as she lingered on the riverbank next to the cadaver dam.
It had been over a month since her descent, and she'd met Leila — she'd been using the people thrown over the waterfall to mark each week. Unfortunately, she'd been unable to save the three as they died on impact — with two of the three being her parents…

That month, an equal amount of tears and sweat was shed…
In any case, the current day was the coming-of-age ceremony. Meaning, it was also the day she'd make her first move.
Her progress at first had been relatively slow… she didn't think she'd achieve her goals by the designated day. But lo and behold, she stood now having transfused the two cores inside of her after training to be able to sense Aether.
