— This is Emma Rivelstein. She was one of the Valkyries of Arteria and lived exactly one hundred years, born on January 1st, 600, and returning to the embrace of Arteria on January 1st, 700. Emma's divine power, the stigma "Light of Arteria," combined the abilities of many of her other sisters: she could heal severe wounds, bring the fallen back to life, and imbue people with high morals, while her singing lulled and calmed those who could not find peace. Distinctive features of her character included a lack of doubt, boundless patience, and serene calmness. Despite her righteous life and merits to the inhabitants of Vistaria, she did not earn any honor in Serberia, largely due to the not-so-warm relationship between the Church and Serberia. In the Church's chronicles, she is known as Catharsia.
