Despite a few inconveniences, like being unable to go outside when she wanted, young Emilia lived a happy life in a settlement of elves with Fortuna, whom she lovingly called "Mother." However, their peace was threatened by the arrival of the Sin Archbishop of the Witch's Cult representing Greed, Regulus Corneas. In the present, Shima appears before Subaru and the others as they wait outside the graveyard for Emilia to complete the trial, and she tells them of the events leading up to the birth of the Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary seemed so 
peaceful on the surface,
،بدا المأوى هادئاً جدّاً ظاهريّاً
Was ist im Unterschlupf passiert,
der so friedlich war?
¿Qué ocurrió en el Santuario
que parecía tan pacífico?
¿Qué ocurrió en el Santuario
que parecía tan pacífico?
Que s’est-il passé au Sanctuaire,
si paisible en apparence ?
Al Santuario sembrava tutto tranquillo,
almeno all'apparenza.
O Santuário parecia
em paz na superfície.
Что же случилось в Святилище, 
если раньше всё было спокойно?
