She returned to Elf School in order to master the basics, humiliated that she could barely handle the Puppetrees when she used to train against Yetis and Wyverns with ease. She suspected that her awakening was due to the Seal of Time degrading, meaning that she needed to regain her strength as soon as possible before the Black Mage broke free from the seal. Furthermore, Mercedes realized that nearly all of her old strength had faded away because of the curse. To her shock, however, all theĮlves were still frozen in slumber. Before she succumbed to the Black Mage’s curse herself, Mercedes closed the borders of the kingdom to prevent the curse from spreading outside Elluel.Ĭenturies later, Mercedes awoke from the ice and excitedly left her quarters, hoping to see her subjects alive and well. Mercedes rushed back to Elluel, where she found that her subjects were freezing in ice one by one. With the Crusader’s consent, Afrien extracted a portion of their life force and created a crystal, which the Crusader then used to bring Mercedes back from the brink of death.Īfter the Crusader left, Mercedes awoke and spoke with Afrien, who warned that the Black Mage’s curse would affect her kingdom, as the destiny of the elves was tied to that of their ruler. He also explained that Mercedes had been gravely injured, but that she could survive with the Crusader’s help. Afrien was able to recognize that the Crusader had come from the present and explained that he had taken the Black Mage’s curse in Freud’s place through the power of their Spirit Pact. Soon after, a member of the Silent Crusade, having traveled back centuries from the present, appeared and ran into Afrien and an unconscious Mercedes and Freud. Mercedes and the other Heroes were expelled from the Temple of Time and fell back down to the burning forests of Leafre. Eventually, the remaining Heroes were successful in sealing the Black Mage, though he managed to unleash a curse upon the Heroes before he was sealed. However, Mercedes was ultimately defeated and fell unconscious. Together with Freud and Afrien, Mercedes entered the Black Mage's throne room and engaged in a fierce battle against the dark Transcendent. The Heroes took the chance opportunity and stormed the Temple of Time. Burning with jealousy that Athena had formed the close relationship with Mercedes that she yearned for, Lucid ran away from Elluel and used her powers of dream manipulation to make all the elves forget that she ever existed.ĭuring the last days of the war, Mercedes and the other Heroes received a letter from the Demon, who planned to betray the Black Mage. To her horror, Mercedes agreed to take Athena with her and entrusted her with the Mistelteinn, the sacred bow of the elves, whose power would protect Athena from harm. The night that Mercedes was set to leave Elluel, Lucid decided to follow her and convince Mercedes to bring her along, but soon realized that not only did Athena have the same idea, but she had reached Mercedes first. Both Lucid and Athena insisted on coming with her, but Mercedes refused to take two young girls into battle. When Mercedes learned of the Black Mage’s threat to Maple World, she decided to join the other Heroes in order to protect her people. However, she became upset when Mercedes decided to share the music box with the kingdom, as she wanted it to be something she could share with Mercedes alone. Lucid soon realized that she had the ability to manipulate dreams and created a music box as a gift for Mercedes, which was capable of producing sweet dreams for its listener. Lucid was often jealous of Athena, as her prowess in archery exceeded that of Lucid’s. In the kingdom of Elluel, two young elves named Lucid and Athena Pierce both idolized Mercedes and spent much of their time trying to impress her with their skills. She joined Freud and four others to become the Heroes of Maple who fought against the tyranny of the Black Mage. Mercedes was one of the many people who gathered at the Dragon Master's Tower, which was lit by Ryude and his band of soldiers in order to warn Maple World that the end of the world was approaching. Mercedes was the Ruler of the Elves and considered it her solemn duty to fight the Black Mage in order to protect her people.
