The Return of Sulkaris
Ilia is traveling on a trading mission as Rusl's assistant during the Gohma attack on Lanayru Province. Near the capital of Airu they meet with Laruto and her aide Fariel as well as Prince Ralis during the exchange Ilia chats with the young Prince and becomes smitten with him, and is shocked when he is attacked by an angry Aruroda while trying to impress her. After Laruto saves him the group cocnluded their trade and the two depart south back towards Ordona Province. Ilia expresses her admiration for Ralis, which is dismissed by Rusl.

The pair are stopped in Vigjaro when Lanayru refugees arrive at the gates with the Gohma in close pursuit. Laruto leaves Prince Ralis in their care while she helps in the city's defense.
