After releasing three thousand years of longing, Eledar and Alwyn left the room, leaving Elidyr, Ard, Eva, and Pyria to speak in private. Pyria felt like she didn't belong in such legendary company, but Elidyr insisted she stay and hear everything. He began to recount all that had happened during the three millennia he spent observing the world. He told them how, after Ashton became Azroth and Esmeralda died, he spent two thousand years tracking Azroth's path of destruction as he leveled any kingdom that had sided with those responsible for Esmeralda's death.
When Evelina was born a thousand years ago, Elidyr visited her and unlocked her memories, hoping she could pull Azroth back to his true self as Ashton so they could lead the world together toward a better future. The plan worked—Azroth returned to being Ashton once he reunited with Evelina. But their time was short.
