Karina

Karina is the best killer among the Dark Elves who lived codependently with her younger sister Selena. But as the older sister, Karina failed to prevent Selena from dedicating herself to the Abyss. In order to stop her sister's evil deeds, and to find a way to bring her back, Karina embarked on a new journey. Karina could barely stop herself from shaking as she stared at Selena before her, a woman now almost unrecognizable. Rage, regret, desperation… A thousand different emotions flooded within her. Yet she knew that what mattered is that, right now, her little sister was standing against her like this. She’d never even imagined this could happen. Karina had once staunchly believed herself capable of protecting her sister, Selena. They had always been inseparable, depending on each other for as long as she could remember: elegant and mild young Elves that bounded throughout the lush forests.

While Selena knew nothing of her older sister’s affairs, Karina considered her the only comfort in her life otherwise full of murder and violence. Selena was a symbol to her that she could always return home, to be with her sister. Karina knew very well that, were they to descend into the battles of light versus darkness in the Endless War, chaos could be right around the corner. Their lives would be hanging by a thread. She was left by no choice, but at least she could still protect her little sister. Under Karina’s protection, Selena was distanced from all the killing and conspiracy. What Karina could never have expected, however, was for the barriers she’d erected around her sister to steadily erode as she grew older. And the reason that her defenses were failing came not from the outside world, but from Karina herself. As Selena grew older, she became attuned to the fact that something was not quite right about her sister. Sometimes Karina would leave home suddenly, not to return for a long time – and when she did, mor
