"My history with the Flower Storm Monarch is one that even I have trouble deciphering... She first contacted me when I was still in Midland Sea, trying to isolate myself in a different world. I was then warned on how I should not try to contact her due to being a product of dark magic. Even if I was not responsible for the circumstances of my birth, Danaan said that it is tradition to forbid any who participated in the dark arts to enter Skellig, or else it would affect the energy and spirits who lived there, perhaps even altering the flow of time here."
"So the only reason she didn't bring you here was because of inconvenience and tradition? She doesn't seem like that benevolent of a ruler to me." Guts affirms that she should have fought for her rights, but Sivir is quick to sound weak.
"I'm sure she must have had her reasons. There isn't really anything quite like Vlad and I on their world. An artificial clone of a monarch who draws her own source of power like an imitation of the world spiral tree on a smaller scale... Surely I raised her several red flags."
"If you don't mind me asking, Sivir. Was there anyone else who broke the laws of dark magic and also got blacklisted from the island?" Schierke asks, with Puck adding the following:
"Yeah, what exactly happens when you do dark magic that's so bad that it bans you from being a magical creature?"
"A rain of behelits spawn from the sky, manifesting themselves and rolling their way to whoever The God Hand chooses as worthy of their service. It is why astral magic can only be taught to the pure of heart, or else they risk spreading the curse of causality."
Now you understand why instances of apostle sightings were rare during Midland's Holy See crusades, given how they were discouraged in participating on anything that required magic.
"I believe the last person exiled from Elfhelm was a magician named... Flora. She artificially prolonged her life span while also reviving a friend of hers, placing him in a suit of armor so he could also live for as long as he wished to. Though her intentions were noble, she still had a hand in indirectly creating several powerful apostles that roam the world today--"
"You must be mistaken!" Knowing only one witch named Flora, Schierke was quick to defend her master. "There was no way Flora had a hand in creating those fiends! Why would she submit herself to that humiliation?!"
Though Schierke wants to deny it in her heart, in her mind, it all adds up as to why Flora never left her abode.
