In the vibrant Elven realm of Altera, a grand narrative of heroism, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love unfolds in "Throne of Elves." This animated fantasy adventure, released in 2016, plunges audiences into a world teetering on the brink of darkness, where the fate of two races hangs in the balance.
The story ignites with a retrospective from Lambert, affectionately known as Little Fish, who recounts the harrowing war against the formidable Black Dragon Karas and his devoted followers. Lambert and his allies emerged victorious, hailed as heroes. Lambert himself received the highest accolades, though he humorously notes that these honors paled in comparison to his burgeoning relationship with Liya, a human. Though their paths diverged after the conflict, Lambert and Liya maintained their connection.
Meanwhile, in the elegant Elven city of Anu Arendel, Liya’s elder, Nerwin, is captivated by the exquisite wedding dress Liya has chosen for her impending marriage to Alyan, Liya’s brother. A slight ripple of concern arises from Liya’s desire to invite their human comrades to the wedding. Alyan, along with many of his people, harbors reservations about humans, a sentiment fueled by recent racial tensions. The alliance forged against Karas, while crucial, hadn't entirely dissolved the deep-seated prejudices. Nerwin, however, grants Liya’s request, stipulating that their human guests must conduct themselves with decorum. Liya, brimming with excitement, dispatches a magical arrow carrying her invitation to Lambert.
In the bustling human settlement of Saint Heaven, Lambert has apprenticed himself to the renowned blacksmith Berlin, a figure known for his challenging business dealings. Lambert’s loyal canine companions, Bow and Arrow, serve as his assistants. As Lambert proudly displays a finely crafted cleaver to a customer, Liya’s enchanted arrow arrives, bearing the wedding invitation. The arrow playfully teases Bow and Arrow before finally delivering its message to Lambert. Overjoyed by the news of Liya’s upcoming wedding, Lambert gratefully bestows a flower upon the arrow, signifying his and his friends’ acceptance of the invitation. Unbeknownst to them, their reunion promises to be as tumultuous as the war they once fought.
In the desolate Ruins of Lost Time, Elena, also known as Meyla, clutches a fragment of the Black Dragon Jewel, a relic of the defeated Karas. This jewel, split in two, possesses a vibrant magenta glow on one half and an unsettling dark blue on the other. Perched atop a crumbling tower, Elena embarks on a ritual to bind herself to the jewel, offering her blood as a sacrifice. The Black Dragon Jewel reacts, absorbing the blood and drawing in the restless spirits of Elven warriors who linger in the ruins, coalescing into a menacing pillar of purple energy. The jewel’s power surges uncontrollably, forcing Elena to cling to the altar for survival. This uncontrolled surge culminates in a pulse of dark energy that blankets Altera in ominous clouds. This disturbance is felt across the land, though Lambert, engrossed in the delicate process of pouring molten metal into a mold, remains oblivious. However, the dark energy coalesces, animating discarded vegetables and a piece of cloth into a crude vessel for an evil spirit. This spectral entity proceeds to torment Bow and Arrow, sending them scrambling to their master for help. In a moment of dark humor, the spirit, upon confronting Lambert, realizes its grave error in choosing such flimsy materials for its physical form, especially when faced with the young blacksmith armed with a cleaver. A chaotic chase ensues, culminating in Arrow and Bow herding the spirit towards a furnace, which Bow artfully opens, allowing him to push the spirit’s makeshift body into the flames, effectively banishing it. The commotion draws Berlin’s attention. Unaware of the spectral battle, he expresses his displeasure at Lambert’s deviation from smithing weapons, revealing the mold Lambert was using was intended for a beautiful ring. Berlin, aware of Lambert’s intention to impress Liya, remains skeptical of human-elven romance, a notion Lambert dismisses by referencing the inherent connection between tragedy and comedy, a sentiment rooted in his past adventures with Liya.
The incident with the possessed vegetable serves as a prelude to greater dangers. Back in the Ruins of Lost Time, Elena’s ritual with the Black Dragon Jewel yields a horrifying outcome: the resurrection of fallen Elven warriors, now transformed into wraiths under Elena’s command.
The day of Lambert’s departure for Anu Arendel finally arrives. He is delighted to see Barnac’s new ship, aptly named after his own moniker. Barnac, equally pleased to see Lambert, is less enthused by Berlin’s unexpected presence. En route to Anu Arendel, Lambert presents Barnac with a scroll detailing the strict rules for guests, a list exceeding 250 items, prompting Barnac to express his doubts about memorizing them all.
Their journey is punctuated by an eventful trip, with Barnac and Lambert taking turns piloting the ship. Berlin showcases his latest invention: a winged surfboard powered by a flying gem. Lambert’s initial attempts to activate the device are fraught with difficulty, but he eventually succeeds, returning to the ship just as Barnac scolds Berlin for endangering his friend. Nevertheless, Barnac is impressed by Berlin’s ingenuity.
Upon their arrival at Anu Arendel, Liya expresses her pleasant surprise, while her people regard the human visitors with confusion. As she approaches Barnac’s flying vessel, she encounters Lambert, still reveling in his aerial exploits. In her excitement, Liya embraces Lambert in a tackle-hug, sending them comically crashing through tree branches below. Recovering from their fall, Liya, Lambert, Bow, and Arrow proceed to Nerwin’s manor, briefly disrupting Elven airship traffic and startling the guards. Lambert formally greets Nerwin before he and his companions find a place to land.
Once they are out of sight, a displeased Alyan questions Nerwin about not informing him of their human guests’ arrival. Nerwin confesses her belief that Alyan would disapprove. Learning of his sister’s human boyfriend further sours Alyan’s mood, given the disparity in lifespans and his conviction that Liya still has much to learn, despite Nerwin’s reassurances. Alyan also reveals a more pressing concern: the “Dark Wind,” the disturbance they felt earlier, signals a new threat looming over their land and beyond, jeopardizing their home and its life source, the Green Gem of Life.
After her playful reunion with Lambert, Liya accompanies Nerwin to the resting place of the Green Gem of Life. Nerwin explains that the Gem is the wellspring of all life in Anu Arendel, particularly for the Elves, who alone can harness its power. The Green Gem of Life is one half of a larger relic; its counterpart is the Dark Gem of Death. For millennia, a conflict between light and darkness has plagued the Human World, though the fate of the Dark Gem of Death remains unknown. The Green Gem of Life, conversely, has remained under Elven protection. In accordance with Anu Arendel custom, the future Queen wears the Green Gem of Life during her wedding to ensure the kingdom’s prosperity. However, this time, Liya is tasked with wearing it to safeguard it, as the Dark Gem of Death has reawakened. To Liya’s dismay, Nerwin discourages Lambert from accompanying her on this critical mission.
As night descends, Lambert, Berlin, and Barnac entrust their weapons to the guards. The process is somewhat awkward, not only due to the weight of Barnac’s sword but also because the renowned mercenary is far more heavily armed than he initially appears. They then join the assembled audience, though their presence goes largely unnoticed.
Back with Nerwin and Liya, Liya remains troubled by the circumstances of her mission. She must keep the Green Gem of Life pure, uncorrupted by desires and conflicts, emotions that are unfortunately prevalent among humans. For this reason, Nerwin harbors doubts about Lambert’s suitability to assist Liya, despite his proven trustworthiness. Nerwin fears Lambert might overextend himself if involved. Liya, however, sets these concerns aside upon her reunion with Lambert. The two then retreat to Liya’s favorite balcony to observe Nerwin and Alyan’s wedding ceremony. As the couple below exchange vows and rings, Lambert and Liya exchange their own gifts: a collapsible bow for Lambert and an ornate ring for Liya. Lambert then declares his intention to remain by her side for life, a sentiment that worries Liya, recalling that their time together might be more fleeting than she hopes.
Just as Liya voices her apprehension to Lambert, a colossal warship crashes into the hall, bearing Elena. Alyan is stunned by this abrupt arrival, but the revelation that Nerwin and Elena are biological sisters is even more shocking. Elena then unleashes her wraith soldiers upon the assembled guests. In the ensuing chaos, the defenders of Anu Arendel find themselves outmatched by Elena’s wraith army, which proves impervious to conventional weaponry. Barnac and Berlin are forced to improvise, while Alyan and Nerwin are quickly overwhelmed by Elena’s dark powers. Lambert attempts to intervene with his new bow, but the minor injury he inflicts only enrages their foe. Elena retaliates by hurling Lambert’s arrow back at him. The projectile inflicts a mere scratch on Lambert’s hand, but it is laced with her dark magic, which begins to corrupt the wound. The confrontation culminates with Elena taking Nerwin captive, demanding the Green Gem of Life within three days.
In a desperate bid to rescue Nerwin, Alyan rallies everyone to prepare for pursuit, dismissing Lambert, Barnac, and Berlin, who are not officially welcome in Anu Arendel. With the stakes for her people escalating, Liya implores Lambert not to join the fight. Barnac and Berlin mistakenly believe Liya has ended her relationship with Lambert, but the young man senses something deeper is troubling her. Noticing that Bow and Arrow were inadvertently captured by Elena’s wraiths (Barnac had thrown the dogs at a wraith during the skirmish, and they were still fighting it as it retreated), they promptly decide to join their friend. Meanwhile, Liya and Alyan discuss their strategy against Elena. Alyan reminds Liya to protect the Green Gem of Life and trust no one, stating that the rescue of Nerwin falls to him and his forces.
In her chamber aboard Alyan’s flying ship, Liya contemplates her predicament while holding the Green Gem of Life. Lambert arrives on his flying board, proposing a daring plan: they will infiltrate Elena’s ship to rescue Nerwin themselves, thereby alleviating the burden on their allies. Despite her lingering doubts, Liya agrees to the plan and joins Lambert. As they navigate a northern route towards Elena’s ship, Lambert brings up their less-than-ideal gift exchange. His bandaged hand suddenly throbs with pain. While Liya struggles to confide in Lambert about her important mission, which she feels is more suited to her than him, Lambert conceals the fact that the wound inflicted by Elena might be more serious than it appears. To Liya’s astonishment, Elena’s ship is revealed to be concealed by dark clouds directly in their path, rather than in the ancient battlegrounds where Alyan and his army are headed.
On board Elena’s ship, Nerwin, bound and at Elena’s mercy, acknowledges that Elena foresaw this day, explaining why she did not wear the Green Gem of Life initially. As Elena gloats about her intention to reunite the Green Gem of Life with its dark counterpart, Nerwin attempts to reason with her, but to no avail. Elena dismisses her sister’s pleas, revealing her need for the Map of the Elf Kingdom.
Sneaking aboard, Lambert and Liya search the ship for Nerwin. Ominous whispers catch Lambert’s attention. Unsure if it’s a trap, he decides to follow, with Liya close behind. Unbeknownst to them, Bow and Arrow, having evaded the guards, attempt to follow but are forced to hide due to the presence of nearby wraiths. Unfortunately for Lambert and Liya, as they locate Nerwin’s chamber, the torches and chandeliers in the adjacent hall ignite with red flames, revealing Elena, who had anticipated their arrival and sits upon an imposing throne. With Lambert in her grasp, Elena reveals she was the one whispering in his mind earlier. She touches his bandaged hand before vanishing, evading Liya’s incoming arrow just as Lambert cries out in pain. The wraiths then surge into the hall, surrounding the pair. Escaping through a hole Lambert creates by severing a chandelier, Liya suggests Lambert warn Alyan. However, Elena snatches Liya away, intending to send her plummeting from the ship, prompting Lambert to leap to her rescue. They manage to activate Lambert’s flying board at the last possible moment, making haste to inform the others.
Aboard Alyan’s ship, he reprimands the duo for their recklessness. Liya agrees with her brother’s assessment, believing this situation is not one Lambert should be involved in. Reluctantly, Lambert departs as instructed by Alyan and Liya. He has little time to process his predicament, as the corruption in his bandaged hand begins to spread.
Awakening in another plane of existence, a sky above the clouds, Lambert once again hears Elena’s whispers, speaking of the power of the Dark Gem within their veins. To his horror, his bandaged arm begins to burn, twisting his surroundings into a pinkish mist. Elena beckons him, ominously promising to grant his wish as his flying board disintegrates, sending him falling into the darkness below. He soon awakens in his room on Barnac’s ship, his hand’s condition showing no signs of improvement.
Lambert’s mood remains somber, compounded by the nightmare and Liya’s apparent rejection. Unaware of the full extent of their situation, Barnac assumes the relationship between Lambert and Liya is doomed, but reassures him that a girl’s rejection is not the end of everything. Berlin concurs, adding that sometimes one must let go of those they cherish for their own good. Unwilling to abandon Liya due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding her rejection, Lambert resolves to do what he believes is right.
Elena’s ship arrives at her newly constructed fortress in the heart of an ancient battlefield. Bow and Arrow, having slipped away, confront a wraith harassing a flying squirrel/toucan creature near the fortress perimeter. They dismantle the wraith’s physical form, saving the creature, which thanks them before flying away. Nerwin is taken to a cell overlooking the fortress. Elena confronts her sister, remarking that the Gem on her hand requires more power, and that the souls of dragons might suffice. During their tense exchange, it is revealed that in their childhood, Elena envied Nerwin’s unique ability to access the power of the Green Gem of Life. This envy, coupled with a feeling of being ostracized, drove Elena to embrace darkness, harboring envy and hatred – emotions antithetical to Elven nature. Dismissing Nerwin’s pleas upon learning her sister has succumbed to the Dark Gem of Death, Elena departs for the Dragon Nest. Nerwin’s hope is rekindled as she notices Bow and Arrow outside her cell and enlists their aid, recognizing them from Liya’s accounts of their absence during the war against Black Dragon Karas.
Meanwhile, Elena arrives at the Dragon Nest, an icy cave traversed by the Six Heroes, Liya, and Lambert on their quest to reach Black Dragon Karas’ lair. She recalls the resting places of the Ancient Dragon, Chaos Dragon, and Beyond Dragon, intending to claim their souls with Laras’ Jewel. She is intercepted by Lambert, who confronts her about her actions. Elena attempts to justify her behavior, claiming they are kindred spirits denied their desires, before infusing the souls of the aforementioned dragons into the Black Dragon Jewel. She reveals the existence of the Dark Gem of Death and its counterpart, the Green Gem of Life, which Liya is presumably safeguarding. Lambert dismisses it as an Elven affair, but Elena blackmails him, demanding the Map of the Elves in exchange for reuniting him with Liya. Lambert wisely rejects the offer and leaves to warn his friends, much to Elena’s amusement.
Bow and Arrow, disguised as wraiths, discreetly procure a bow and arrows from the armory, following Nerwin’s instructions.
Alyan and Liya’s forces search the Ruins of Lost Time for Elena’s lair, only to be ambushed by a swarm of Elena’s wraiths. Initially, they hold their own by infusing their arrows with magic, inflicting considerable damage. However, their enemies’ superior numbers become a critical issue. Worse, some wraiths use anchors from abandoned Elven ships to immobilize Alyan and Liya’s ship, allowing others to set it ablaze. It is at this critical juncture that Lambert arrives, inadvertently revealing the wraiths’ weakness while saving Liya: fiery dark magic at their core. This discovery allows everyone to turn the tide of the battle, regroup, and buy time for Barnac and Berlin to join the fray. With their ship severely damaged, Alyan, Liya, and the Elf Captain have no choice but to bail into Barnac’s ship.
In the aftermath of the battle, Barnac struggles to negotiate compensation for his damaged ship with Alyan. Liya is disheartened by Alyan’s stubbornness and lack of gratitude towards their unlikely allies. Alyan then reveals a concern about Lambert that troubles him more than his human heritage: the infection from contact with the Dark Gem of Death’s power, which threatens to poison him as it has Elena. Even with the knowledge that the Green Gem of Life and the Dark Gem of Death’s powers cancel each other out, it remains uncertain whether the former can cure a human of the latter’s corruption. Unbeknownst to them, their conversation is overheard by Lambert.
As Lambert departs on his flying board, Alyan decides to regroup for reinforcements from Anu Arendel’s neighboring allies, believing they still have a chance as long as the Green Gem of Life remains out of Elena’s reach. Suddenly, someone bursts into their room, steals the Map of the Elves, and flees on a familiar flying board, much to Alyan’s fury as he realizes who the thief is. Liya manages to restrain her brother before he can shoot the thief with his arrow.
In Elena’s lair, Nerwin examines the stolen equipment from Bow and Arrow, hiding them just as Elena’s Black Dragon Jewel regains its full power. Elena expresses mild surprise at Nerwin’s attempt to attack her, despite her lack of advantage beyond the stolen bow and arrows, and even more so at her success in knocking both her crown and the Black Dragon Jewel from her grasp. However, the Jewel rejects Nerwin, prompting Elena to hint that she had merged Karas’ remnant with the Dark Gem of Death all along. As Elena prepares to finish Nerwin off for her defiance, the thief of the Map of the Elves, revealed to be Lambert himself, appears at the last moment. Unfortunately for Lambert, Elena reneges on their deal, knocking Nerwin unconscious, worsening his corruption, and using the map to confirm the Green Gem of Life is still in Liya’s possession.
Now Elena’s unwilling pawn, Lambert, still retaining some control, returns to Barnac’s ship and warns Liya of her predicament. Simultaneously, Alyan, preparing for the worst, implores the Elf Captain to intervene, only to be intercepted by an oblivious Barnac. Amidst the scuffles between Barnac and Alyan, and Berlin and the Elf Captain, and Liya’s internal conflict, Lambert finally succumbs to Elena’s dark magic and attacks Liya. A fierce battle ensues, with the corrupted Lambert proving more powerful than his normal self, even displaying abilities similar to Elena’s, such as telekinesis. Liya finds herself unable to harm her human lover, even when presented with the opportunity, a situation that would have put her at a severe disadvantage had Lambert not truly lost himself. As the couple are about to loose their arrows at each other, Lambert, with immense effort, regains control. He deliberately breaks the arrow he snatched from the Elf Captain, ensuring he receives the fatal blow while Liya is merely knocked to her knees. This horrifies Liya, who frantically rips her arrow from Lambert’s chest. After a moment of hesitation, she decides to attempt to exorcise and revive him with the Green Gem of Life. Simultaneously, Alyan finds Lambert’s broken arrow fragment, explaining Liya’s survival and, more importantly, offering hope for the young warrior. As he lies dying, Lambert gives Liya the ring he crafted, empowering her to save him despite the risks. Witnessing his sister’s determination, Alyan decides to trust her.
Liya’s efforts prove successful, and an astonished Lambert, largely restored, opens his eyes to find her beside him. As the couple reconciles, Lambert reveals Elena’s lair’s exact location: the Seventh Peak in the Dark Valley. With no time to waste, Alyan rallies everyone towards their destination.
Frustrated by the apparent loss of her pawn, the undaunted Elena prepares for the inevitable final battle.
Upon arriving at the Dark Valley, Lambert and his companions’ ship is ambushed by Elena’s vessel, which emerges from the cover of dark clouds. Using the Dark Gem of Death/Black Dragon Jewel, Elena manipulates the surrounding lava during the ensuing chase, crippling Barnac’s ship and allowing hers to pierce through it, preventing escape. Lambert and his group battle Elena’s wraiths as Elena herself demands the Green Gem of Life from Liya, blasting Barnac and Alyan aside. This prompts Lambert and Liya to leap from the ship, riding an unwilling wraith as Lambert had no time to retrieve his flying board. Elena orders her ship’s captain to pursue them until Alyan blasts him with his energized arrow, causing it to lose altitude. Enraged, Elena retaliates by blasting the fleeing Alyan, Barnac, and Elf Captain, who jump from their doomed ships and catch up with Lambert and Liya. Berlin also jumps, but is separated in the ensuing chaos. Elena’s ship crashes through Elena’s base, damaging the tower where Nerwin is imprisoned.
To Lambert’s dismay, Elena’s crashed ship blocks the path to Nerwin’s cell. He believes the fastest way to reach her is by using his flying board, which he left behind in his haste. However, Liya devises a better plan. Using her claw-tipped enchanted arrow, the same one she used to send Lambert the invitation, Liya sends the Green Gem of Life directly into the unconscious Nerwin’s hand, reviving her. It is then that Lambert and his companions notice Elena blasting her way through the rubble, prompting the group to retreat.
Finding themselves in the base’s throne room, Lambert and his companions have little time to prepare for their final stand when a furious Elena snatches Liya away, once again demanding the Green Gem of Life. Lambert attempts to save his Elven girlfriend, leading to Elena retaliating by repelling him with a dark tornado before sending Alyan, Barnac, and the Elf Captain dangling for their lives. Lambert attempts to save the three, much to Elena’s amusement as she prepares to finish off Liya first.
Unfortunately for Elena, Lambert and his companions have bought Nerwin enough time to join the fray. Using the Green Gem of Life, Nerwin summons glowing green vines to restrain her corrupted sister, saving the group simultaneously. As Liya reunites with Lambert and the others, more vines join the ones already binding Elena, sealing her completely within a prison of plant matter and separating her from the Dark Gem of Death/Black Dragon Jewel. Lambert makes it clear to Elena that the Dark Gem of Death/Black Dragon Jewel was never hers to begin with, a sentiment Nerwin echoes. Unbeknownst to Nerwin, Bow, and Arrow, who reunite with Alyan, Liya, and Lambert, Elena wills the Dark Gem of Death/Black Dragon Jewel to come to her as her floral prison nears completion.
The battle is far from over. The sudden pain in Lambert’s bandaged arm, induced by residual traces of the Dark Gem of Death’s energy, alarms the group to something horrific occurring within Elena’s floral prison. The seal disintegrates in a surge of dark energies, revealing Elena’s monstrous four-winged, elf/lindworm hybrid form, bearing an aesthetic resemblance to Black Dragon Karas itself. Realizing Elena has embraced the dark powers of the Black Dragon Jewel in a way Velskud could only dream of, combined with the Dark Gem of Death and the souls of the Ancient Dragon, Chaos Dragon, and Beyond Dragon, Nerwin rallies everyone to fall back. Bow and Arrow struggle to keep up with the others due to an enormous wraith joining them, but they are soon saved by the flying squirrel/toucan they rescued earlier, along with its flock, which blasts the behemoth with its pinkish slime.
Taking refuge in the wraiths’ smithy, Barnac is at a loss for what to do. Cautiously observing their surroundings, the sight of the enormous smelter nearby reminds Lambert of how he defeated the possessed vegetable, giving him an idea to try and defeat Elena/Karas in the same manner. However, for this to work, they must place their faith in him. Lambert’s plan involves luring Elena/Karas towards the smelter by passing the Green Gem of Life amongst themselves, starting with Nerwin. Of course, this part of the plan requires improvisation to ensure smooth execution (e.g., Liya uses her enchanted arrow to help the Elf Captain pass the Gem to Bow and Arrow when Elena/Karas interrupts). Their odds improve when Berlin arrives with Lambert’s flying board, allowing him to use the device to draw Elena/Karas closer to the smelter. Although the flying board begins to lose power, and worse, Elena/Karas attempts to influence Lambert through the residual energy of the Dark Gem of Death in his hand, necessitating Liya to suppress it with both the Green Gem of Life and her acceptance of his gift, it is too late. Pushing Liya to safety below and seizing the Green Gem of Life from her grasp simultaneously to lower Elena/Karas’ guard, Lambert, with all his might, unleashes a mighty howl at his nemesis at point-blank range with such force that the latter is helplessly propelled into the forge opened by Bow, Arrow, the Elf Captain, and Barnac.
Unfortunately, the plan fails because Lambert did not anticipate Elena/Karas retaining her ability to teleport. Angrier than ever, she drags the young warrior towards the sky and seizes the Green Gem of Life from his grasp. The still-energized Lambert snatches the Gem back before Elena/Karas can combine it with the Dark Gem of Death and the Black Dragon Jewel, leading to a heated brawl between the two nemeses. Elena/Karas’ stubbornness proves to be the last straw for Lambert, who calls her out for her inability to let go of her obsessions. He ultimately unleashes another howl, this time to properly drown her into the molten metal below with him once and for all. The sight of his heroic sacrifice and the now unoccupied flying board landing before them leaves everyone, especially Liya, devastated.
As everyone begins to mourn their loss, an unforeseen miracle unfolds before their very eyes. The giant forge violently freezes, and vines and other plant life burst forth soon after. Radiant energies from the Green Gem of Life, emanating from within the destroyed forge, exorcise every single one of Elena’s wraiths throughout her lair, returning them as spirits of fallen Elven warriors who are finally able to pass on. With a surge of the same power, the Gem even resurrects Lambert, his wholly purified physical form materializing before Liya and her companions. As Lambert and Liya embrace, Alyan is awestruck by how the Green Gem of Life has managed to find a worthy human to bond with for the first time, granting him a second chance at life – undeniable proof that humans are capable of virtue and self-sacrifice, as Nerwin had pointed out. As everyone celebrates, including Barnac’s unsuccessful attempts to court the Elf Captain to Berlin’s amusement, they are oblivious to Elena, who similarly revives, purged of the Dark Gem of Death’s corruption.
