Story Title: The Cryptkeeper's Heart
Premise: Having grown up as a Mercenary along Rapture's side it was only a matter of time before the two ran into something much stronger than themselves -- The Shade. Or, at least, a fragment of it. It is during the battle that Rapture loses his ability to speak. Willing to sacrifice herself, Elation attempts to do just that and tosses herself into the depths of the fragment to destroy it from within. She comes to later in the care of Clan Elysia and their healer, Phadynos, who used a sliver of Moonlight blended with a piece of Rapture's own heart to seal the Fragment into her scales and preserve her life. She now lives with Rapture in Clan Elysia, helping him tend to the Crypts and Relics.
