Lore
Eina is a mystery, and nobody has records of her existence dating long before she joined up with the rest of the Channelers. She started out antagonizing the rest of the Channelers, chiding peaceful life as what would do humanity in when the spirits would show up. She regularly picked fights with them and their spirit assistant Foxie, seemingly having no other purpose. When Mima disappeared, she tried to talk Hana and Rin into giving up spiritual affairs, to no avail. She allied herself with the similarly-sour Momo; but despite a working relationship between the two, Momo ended up joining Rin and Hana and telling her off for her callous disregard of Rin and Hana's feelings. This falling-out lead to Hana and Momo falling to the spirits of Florence and Peach. Eina didn't meet Rin for days, as the latter stayed constantly with future groupmate Yuriko Amano. Some special relation between the two was discovered; they tried to kill each other on-sight the first time they met, only for the apparent death fight and their ire (which was uncharacteristic of Eina) to stop for no apparent reason. In this battle's aftermath, as only Foxie was left as an enemy, Eina's intentions were revealed: her targets had been the spirits and their madness all along. Eina's ordeals lead her to preach that even the seemingly irredeemable can have some good in them: we just have to reach out. ""One never is truly lost.""

Change Log
= Ancient Times = With the rest of the Channelers' releases, you will be treated to three chapters of Ancient Times, which describes the lore of their spirit partners before they came to be in that state. It revolves around the world they lived in, that of 5000 years ago. My name is Peach Millenia. I live in this city, Haven Kingdom, and I'm a mage. As any of the highborn millenials, I am far ahead of most of my would-be equals at the Magic Caste, and honestly, this never felt weird to me. I was called by all sorts of monikers: "The Natural", "The Prodigy", "The Weaver", all appropriate nicknames for me. However, for all these nicknames, and all I did in fourteen years to earn these, I kept being looked down on whenever I came to the Royal Palace. Those unpracticed good-for-nothings are just standing at that accursed Queen's feet, putting the best hand-made dresses on her and her crybaby of a daughter. Passing by the Royal Castle's barriers on my way to the courtyard's gate, I look upon it with absolute disdain, hidden under my mages' hat. "Peach! What are you waiting for?" A voice calls me out in my back. On instinct, I would have turned in a blink. However, since I'm walking in front of the Imperial Castle, I have to control all my actions. One movement too fast and the guards would call me out. If that mermaid Knightess is on guard duty, I'm good for a day of detention again. "Peach!" The voice calls me out of my daydreaming. I see my sister, Daisy. She's just one year older than me, yet she's already the Head Priestess of the kingdom. I guess it's because she's a stickler for rules, which makes her better than me at fitting in under the Queen's heel. I give myself a soft tap on the head. "Daisy? What brings you over here? - I would ask you the same. I thought you were supposed to prepare for the festival tonight. - The festival isn't under my charge." This accursed festival. The Night of Clemency. Mages are supposed to light up torches, and do some sacrificial ritual to keep the sky clear and prevent water from falling out of the sky. All nonsense. I'm sure blessings and misfortune-keeping are supposed to be the Priest caste's business. What do priests even do these days anyway? I'd ask Daisy, but that's like talking to a wall. "I'm on... something else." Daisy's eye twitched. "And on what exactly?" I don't know if she knows I'm not on duty or if she's just bluffing, but I will not have any of her mind games. "I cannot explain to you. This is private business that I need to talk with someone specific in the Castle. You'll know when I can tell you." With that, I turn my back on her and walk towards the gate. I can feel Daisy's inquisitive gaze on my back, but I don't flinch. My mind is set. Someday, the services of the Millenia clan, and my service, will be recognized.

 * -|Chapter 1: Frustration=

My name is Florence Fates, Head Knightess of the Haven Kingdom's Royal Court. A very long name, with a long nobility title attached to drown my sense of self. Today, I am standing guard near the Queen and her daughter. What a frivolous life they live: dresses by dozens are queued up, carried on chariots driven by our servants. I'm sure they're envious of this, and I don't blame them. The Queen, of course, doesn't spare them a thought: the size of her dresses is more than that of the servants anyway. I internally smile at the irony of a giantess raising a tiny little button of a pixie. The Queen disgusts me, but the little Pearl looks innocent, like she's completely blind to the doings of her mother. But I know... I was but a kid, but I still remember the day the Haven Kingdom guards kidnapped me and a bunch of other children. We were taken to the Fountain of Life, a little distance away from the city, and something happened. I cannot recall exactly what. The other children died. A figure in a hooded robe talked to the Queen. They picked me up and had me live in the Castle, letting me do whatever I want. In the 10 years that have passed since, I learned why they'd kept me here: the details of that incident had to be hidden. They were buying my silence. I kept playing their game, on the surface. I picked up a pendant stolen from this raid to constantly remind myself of my new calling: bring Yadia down before another incident like this happens, or before Pearl becomes like her. I've tried three times already, but failed. They're keeping me in this gilded cage, each day feeling more like torture than the last. I'm taken out of my internal ramblings by a fellow Knightess who whispers to me. My rendezvous has arrived. Some mage called Peach. I internally growl as I let the messenger take my place and make my way out. I make my apologies to the princess, and a simulacrum of such for the Queen. Closing the door, I see her in the corridor. That red hat of hers stands out in this castle full of white marble, more than her bright orange hair. Without a word, I heed her to follow me. The sound of her hooves is loud. It must be compensation for the noise I don't make. I welcome her to enter first in my work room, and so she does. Her bearing makes it obvious she thinks highly of herself. I take my seat after she takes hers. After I sort my four swords back in place, I lean over to my desk, gauging her with my eyes. "Miss Peach, I trust you have some motive for requesting a meeting with me at this time." I don't truly care about being taken out of that stupid dress-up session the Queen is having with her kid, but I would not tell her. Her confident smile faded barely after I called her 'Miss'. She doesn't answer. She stares back at my eyes. I frown near-instantly. "Please answer when I'm asking." My voice is audibly colder this time. I hope she gets the message. "Sorry. I was distracted. My reasons for coming are secret business and I need to know if I can trust you.", she says. I quickly take glances around the room, making sure that nobody heard this insolent kid talk too big. I take a look outside and hear two guards heaving frustrated sighs. Likely on their way in on a relay. "Who is a slave-driver?", I pipe towards them. They apologize in a blink and head back to their work. I scoff at them before heading back inside. Nobody is lurking around. I lock the door. "It's pointless." I hear Peach say. "I will be making my way out, if you don't mind. - But we didn't even talk. - This little distraction wore out the little time I had to talk with you. Maybe I will have more time, on another day?" I feel like she's sneering at me. She's even leaving without permission. "I will try to meet up with you later." Before I muster the force to call her out on her misbehaviour, she's already gone from my room. I feel my jaw tighten so much that my teeth are threatening to shatter, but I scrape by and hide my contemptuous reaction.
 * -|Chapter 2: First Contact=

My name is Daisy Millenia. I serve as the Haven Kingdom's Head Priestess at only 14 years of age. Some citizens say my accomplishments are nothing short of a prodigy, but the other priests told me it's normal for one of the Millenia house, such as myself. I have never found my role very gratifying. Even as a Head, I merely organize religious festivals and pray for blessings, and "decide" how it should be done. But in the end, all answer to the Queen; and I dutifully obey her every directive word by word. Since the next night is going to be the Festival of the Night of Clemency, I have done much in the way of organizing the event. The day put my ability to have eyes everywhere to contribution, that much I can say. Yet, there is a thing I must attend to before the Festival heads to its completion. My younger sister Peach may not be filed as much as I in rank, but she is a mage, and thus plenty more powerful than me. The problem does not come from that, but from her oft-spoken trouble with the Queen. Since we left our home, Peach has had much less time to vent out frustration, and I'm afraid this may lead to something bad happening to her or the Kingdom, or both. Peach felt not that far off from actually doing something she might regret when I met her this morning by chance. I knock at the door of her house. A few moments later, she opens. The wood creaks. "Sorry for intruding all of a sudden like that. I have something important to discuss with you." Peach hides a twitch as I talk. I know I just struck a nerve. She non-vocally urges me to enter, and I do so as she asks. Her home is small, but it's pretty comfortable. She takes her place on her sofa as I sit at her table. "Lay it on me.", she asks with a little scowl. "What you can see." I know of her frustrations with my ability to see in her, but I think that gift of mine saved her more than once. "As you asked.", I nod briefly to let her know I'm not going to beat around the bush. "You want to take 'her' life, don't you?" The atmosphere got grim the moment I worded her intent. A few seconds of silence pass by. Peach doesn't talk, but I can see things. Her ire is fire and she glares lightning. "I do not oppose your intentions. Though, I do advise you to talk to me before making large moves like when we play Raji." That board game might get my point across. "If, for each piece you take, you lose two, I suggest you abort your motions. I am not even taking account of potential collateral damage." I stuttered in search for my words, but it seems my point got across. She seems to look in herself for something to say, but her response is simple. "You know, delays favor her. - And any losses that are not your own favor her more. Just trust me. I'm your sister. I'll be there for you. For now, let us play.", I say as I conjure an illusionary board and pieces. "I need to see your plan for myself." The game is short. Her plan is far too simple. Eventually, my piece in the likeness of the Queen smashes her self-likened piece. I try to talk through her visible frustration. "You forgot a key component. The Queen's piece words exactly why you lost." It finally dawns on her. "You're saying... - 'Before killing a giant, put her on her knees.', they say in the lower-city. It's impossible to kill her in a snap. Now, I cannot tell you how to do whatever it is you will do, and I would rather remain uninvolved in your personal affairs." I say as I stand up. "If you'll accept my apologies, my visit will have to stay this brief. I must tend to the place before the Festival of Clemency is underway. I'll see you later, sister." I leave briskly, accepting her absence of a goodbye as an assurance we'll meet again.
