Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there. Pyra took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up longsword and armor she uses now. Some 5 years later her spouse died after the birth of her son. Heartbroken, Pyra never married again.
