Becoming her own agent for a time a middle aged Nym wandered for several years, eventually coming to terms with her nightmares. With the benefit of time, what had appeared superficially as nightmares were revealed as the memories of previous lives and the significant traumas she had experienced in service to Gaia. During this time Nym met and became fast friends with a man known as Atley, and a woman known as Casey, the latter becoming an important member of her family, while the former convinced her to at last give up the responsibility of the monstrous sword Regret . This was of great importance to Nym as it symbolised a contract she had forged in blood lifetimes earlier. Immediately she felt her spirit lightened and gladly relinquished the cursed sword to Atley's safekeeping, finding herself a simpler, less storied weapon to use in the meantime. In her interactions with Atley and Casey, Nym came to understand that her reason for being was to protect others and that if she did her job right she could shield her husband and her family from the familiar horrors of the Secret World. This also provided pathos to Nym as her decision to abandon her family, and later the Templars, had never sat right with her. Reconciled with her 'nightmares' and with Regret put to rest, Nym saw the world for what it was and her place within it became clear. Nym's purpose was to protect. To shield those weaker than she. She had performed this task countless times for Gaia and now, blessedly, she would do so by choice. | Becoming her own agent for a time a middle aged Nym wandered for several years, eventually coming to terms with her nightmares.

− | + | Eventually she came across Cucuvea in Transylvania who looked her straight in the eye and said something that caused a deep recognition within her. They talked late into the night and come the morning Nym made to leave, but Cucuvea said to her 'You've been down that road before. Is that really where you want to go?' Baying her to stay, Nym came to live with Cucuvea and became her live-in protege, student to an unconventional and often crotchety old crone. After some months of apprenticeship the old woman abruptly came to her, informing her that she could not teach anymore and that the 'fledgling bird must leave the nest sooner or later'. She advised Nym learn more about the Filth so she could understand not only her enemy, but more importantly why she fought. | |

Nym battled the corruption in Transylvanian personally over the years, eventually completing her tutalege with Cucuvea and on seeing the degredation of the Forest firsthand and the many foes that threatened it, she agreed to stay. Taking up the mantle of the 'Emerald Lady', Nym took her first footsteps on the path to becoming Cucuvea's replacement and finally granting the old woman the right of death, her sacred task complete. At this point the woman known as Nym became a distant memory, known only to a select few, and arising from the ashes of her spirit was a terrifying agent of nature known as the Emerald Lady, providing safe habour to allies and bringing swift retribution to enemies of nature. | Nym battled the corruption in Transylvanian personally over the years, eventually completing her tutalege with Cucuvea and on seeing the degredation of the Forest firsthand and the many foes that threatened it, she agreed to stay.
