She undoubtedly knew that the world would soon be consumed by illness and death if the evil force continued to spread. Sensing the calamitous presence of the shard in other places of the world as well, Talim traveled to wherever the wind took her. Despite the elders' misgivings, Talim departed on a journey concluding that when she delivered the demonic power to its rightful place, that peace would eventually be restored to the Earth. Talim, however, recognized the evil energy as the same force that had caused her to blackout years before, and resolved to return the metallic shard to where it belonged wherever that was. Years later, when Talim was fifteen years old, a man from the west brought a strange metal fragment to her homeland, claiming it to be a "vitality charm". The dark day that the Evil Seed pervaded through the sky, Talim felt the winds, and an evil aura that devoured everything in its path surged into her body, causing her to lose consciousness for days. Due to turmoil caused by the influences of the Spanish and Portuguese culture, she was reared to be its last priestess (Babaylan). Talim was the granddaughter of the village's elder, Kalana, and daughter of its shaman, Sanput.

In the Village of the Wind Deity located in Southeast Asia (Philippines), there lived a small tribe of people who could control the winds.
