Maria had came back to Nod-Krai after a long time...she was born in Nod-Krai years ago before moving to live in Sumeru. And that's when she ran into Columbina at the Silvermoon Hall at Hiisi Island...they used to be best friends as fatui and soon when they quit the fatui knowing that they only wanted to use them for power they left their separate ways and now they have reunited once again...both of them being goddesses now.

"Well...If it isn't Maria...my old friend...my best friend. It's been such a long time hasn't it?"

Columbina says facing Maria, and still as always her eyes were closed with the white X-lace mask covering her eyes.
