Summary[]

As Argana's student, Tione had lived every day in constant torment, refusing to die as it would be like admitting defeat for her. She was unable to understand how Tiona was happy while she suffered, which bothered her. Still, she protected her from the other Amazonesses, who hated her for how she was and all the time she spent with Kali. The day before their seventh birthday, the two knew they would be forced to face each other in the arena for one to reach Level 3, but to everyone's surprise, Tiona told Kali she didn't want to face Tione, asking her to let them leave Telskyura, to which she agreed. Tione was not able to understand why she had done it and the Goddess explained they could always have left but simply no one had asked before.

In the present, after deciding they would accept the Kali Familia's challenge, the sisters went to an abandoned building. Tiona asked if they should stay there until night but at that moment Tione attacked her. When questioned for her actions Tione replied it was to prepare. She confessed she used to hate her and, in fact, still did so because she was always laughing, pointing out she hadn't changed. Tiona instead told her she had changed since they had met Loki and the others and since she had fallen in love with Finn.

After leaving Telskyura they traveled the world, seeing various places on their way. Because Kali had left their status in convertible state, they had been able to join other Familias as they traveled, though they had never stayed in one for long. Wanting to explore the dungeon they had gone to Orario. Being Level 3 the two drew the attention of several Familias who tried to recruit them so they challenged them saying they would join the Familia that was able to defeat them. After defeating several and beginning to feel disappointed in the quality of adventurers in Orario, the Loki Familia arrived. Having been easily defeated by Finn and Gareth they joined them and from then on, Tione fell in love with Finn. She was initially not entirely convinced since although he was strong and brave he lacked a wild side, however, after seeing him use Hell Finegas she was convinced. Having learned he preferred elegant women Tione began to change her aggressive and vulgar language for a more refined and calm one.

When they met Ais Tiona commented she was very similar to Tione in the past so she decided to befriend her to change that, eventually Lefiya also joined the Familia. Having finished their fight Tiona pointed out they now had more people whom they considered their friends. Tione thanked her for always being by her side and Tione responded by saying the same. After stating they would protect their home and their Familia, they fell asleep.

Elsewhere, Ais informed Riveria and Loki that she hadn't found her sisters. Aki also informed them that the hotel where the Kali Familia had been staying was empty, Alicia added that although the ship they had arrived on was still in port it was also empty. Loki pointed out that someone must be helping them hide and noted they were going to force Tiona and Tiona to repeat the rituals with Lefiya being the bait for it. At that moment Ais remembered something and handed Loki the bag Rod had given her earlier and after hearing her explanation the Goddess thanked her. Loki told Aki she needed her to deliver something from her and gave her a note saying that everything she needed to know was written there. After waking up, Tione and Tiona headed to confront the Kali Familia.
