Annika worked hard every day to become as strong as the hero who had saved her life. Wise with age, Gloria had always warned Annika about the dangers of pursuing only strength. The one day, Nameless received orders to suppress a rebel faction that had seized a town. When the rebels realized they had no hope of winning, they burned the entire town down around them. As Annika watched the rebels raze the town out of their own misguided sense of justice, she understood how dangerous strength without heart could be. From that day forward, Annika swore to pursue purity of heart as well as physical strength and began referring to Gloria as her master.
