Solitaria was the first believer of Lilitrion Prima. When Prima declared "God is dead," she was the first to agree. "Then let us become the new gods," she said.

But at the end of the Heaven War, when Prima fell to earth, Solitaria fled. Driven by fear, she hid in the forest of the millennium trees.

Even now she trembles in the shadow of the trees. What if Prima returns? What if Heaven's pursuers come? The title "First Believer" is now nothing but a shameful past. Fear alone has become her eternal companion.
