Elsewhere, U·Pollyben would have been recognized for her great talent in painting. But in the Kingdom of Celtica, that talent has largely gone unnoticed.

War with the neighboring kingdoms has all but obliterated the cities of Celtica. U·Pollyben has forgotten how she managed to flee from her home to this strange city. To escape the pain of the past, she cuts herself off from the outside world and spends all her waking hours painting so that she has no time to think.

It was a tragedy that no words can describe—at least for U·Pollyben, that's the case. It left her with nothing but a sketchbook and a paintbrush. She withdrew into her own shell and started using her paintbrush to build her own world of fantasy.

Every time she thought of that tragedy, of how her hometown was destroyed by war, she felt a strong pang of pain that drove her to paint frantically on that blank canvas. In the end, however, she couldn't finish the painting. She just sat quietly in the corner with a blank mind, waiting for her salvation.
