As Alessandra and Clyde part ways, she is now left under the care of the Duhsh Elves while he continues on the path of vengeance. The story of what happened in the seven year absence until their next fated meeting remained unknown, until now.
[Dhush Woodlands - Ancient Spring. Enter Alessandra Zalori as she spends her time gathering fragments of nature discarded from the growing life surrounding her. She is accompanied by several other Dhush youth. They have stumbled across an ancient spring concealed by mossed covered ancient rubble and overgrowth]
Dhush Youth #1: What is this place?!
Dhush Youth #2: Some sort of spring?
Alessandra Zalori:[aside] I shouldn't stray too far again, Alenia will never let me out of her sight if I mess up one more time. [to the group] I think we should probably head back and continue finding suitable parts for our staves, Solitara is in less than a year!
[The group of Dhush youth's ignore Alessandra Zalori's concerns, opting to peer over the edge instead before backing away slightly]
Alessandra Zalori: What is it? let me see!
[Alessandra Zalori's curiosity always did seem to get the better of her, forgetting about her own initial concerns, she loomed over the edge, her eyes following the spring water fall into an exposed underground cavern. The rocks where light blue, with moisture resting along the surface of the cave. The drop was large, getting down would be tricky, yet manageable; getting back up however...]
Dhush Youth #3: Be careful!
[As one of the youths attempts to warn Alessandra Zalori, she loses her footing, falling down into the cavern below scraping her knees, tears begin to swell in her eyes as she rubs them]
Dhush Youth #1: This is why we can't have any fun! Alessa always ruins it for everybody.
Dhush Youth #2: Let's go tell Lady Famaris.
Alessandra Zalori: No don't! she will kill me! I'll get back up I promise!
[She looks up at them wiping her eyes before looking down into the cavern, the stream continues, various carvings are etched within the walls, the path beneath has hints of interference, suggesting it was once some sort of road, something she is able to pick up on]
Dhush Youth #3: We need to tell her Alessa! this always happens to you.
Dhush Youth #1: If she says she can get out let's see it so. Prove it, or are you just gonna stay down there and cry like a little elfling?
Dhush Youth #2: She's not an elfling! she's not one of us.
[Alessandra Zalori frowns looking back up at them, putting on a brave face she speaks to them]
Alessandra Zalori: You're right, I'm not one of you, lesto!!!
{you stink!!!}
[Alessandra Zalori turns away and begins to walk into the cavern]
Dhush Youth #3: Hey where are you going?!
Alessandra Zalori: Out of here!
Dhush Youth #2: Should we... wait for her?
[Exeunt]
