It has been a long time since Rya left the Vulcan Manor to adventure through the Lands Between, after the Tarnished refused to kill her or erase her memory... She met several people on her journey, of different types and races, but the burning of Erdtree caused all of the Lands Between to enter into a temporary collapse until the Erdtree returned to normal, emanating the golden glow and indicating... the Tarnished had fulfilled they purpose and become an Elden Lord.

Some time had passed... Rya was still on her adventure to get to know herself, until she saw someone familiar... the Tarnished who had spared her, fighting a Rune Bear in Altus Plateau. She did not intervene in the fight, just waited in a nearby tree until the fight ended.
