Editing Elena Othonos (section)

=== Volume 8 ===
Elena, Aaron, Telim, and Sa'la have a conversation about an upcoming banquet for all the incoming [Mages]. It is revealed that Elena saw Aaron's text message about the [[Dead Gods|Gods]], though she does not know who sent it. Later that night, she is one of the onlookers as Grand Magus Eldavin challenges the Archmages.<ref>[[Chapter 8.04 T]]</ref>

When everyone is teasing Trey about getting worms, Elena is one of the few who are kind to him. Later, she gives him a tour of the Earther rooms. When Aaron shows them his Iron Man glove, Elena is taken aback by Trey's offer to try it on him.<ref name=":2" />

When nations and organizations are inspired by [[Joseph Ortega|Joseph]] and [[Pallass]] to broadcast football exhibitions on Wistram News Network, Elena is able to convince the [Diviner] in charge to broadcast some of Cara's music as background.<ref>[[Chapter 8.15]]</ref>

She is one of the Earthers to meet the [[Silver Swords]] and Leon when they arrive to Wistram. Aaron, George, and Elena are unnerved to see [[Cognita]] interacting with Cortana on one of the laptops.<ref>[[Chapter 8.40 CTV]]</ref> Later, she becomes worried when Eldavin begins examining some of Aaron's inventions and speculates on potential upgrades.<ref>[[Chapter 8.43]]</ref>

On the day of Eldavin's confirmation as Archmage, Trey gives Elena a camera filled with recordings of [[A’ctelios Salash|Ac'telios Salash]], which horrifies her. She is also shocked when Eldavin unveils his newest innovation, armored suits based on Aaron's design and operated by sixteen Earthers.<ref>[[Chapter 8.61]]</ref> A few days later, she and the other Earthers listen to Trey's proposal to leave Wistram. She backs him up, offering to take them to Cara in Terandria, confident that they could be free there, though she becomes uncertain when Leon claims that nowhere is safe, having witnessed [[Erin Solstice|someone]]'s death despite being high-level. Despite his confession, Elena is determined to go. However, on the day of their escape, they are startled by the announcement that Trey was working for the King of Destruction. While they are unsure of the hopes of escaping, the Silver Swords offer them a chance.<ref>[[Chapter 8.64 K]]</ref> However, they are ambushed by several members of the Centrist faction and Golems, with Elena accidentally being struck in the back by friendly fire. At some point, she is accompanying Shadeward [[Doroumata|Dorumata]], when they run into [[Rasea Zecrew]] and her crew. Rasea later kidnaps her with some of the Earthers, bringing them on the ''Illuminary,''<ref>[[Chapter 8.64 K]]</ref> where she engages in a conversation with the [[Quarass]].<ref>[[Chapter 8.65]]</ref>
