It was not long after that Maric requested to court Ayana, and Edmund accepted. Ayana fell in love with Maric, and throughout being courted, had found an instructor for combat part time and in secret. A few elven days before Maric and Ayana’s wedding, Maric offered to her a gift that she found most surprising. A suit of beautifully designed armour, crafted with intricate dragons and unique features. As well as this, an arming sword which would be named Talon. Marrying Maric would make her soon known as the Storm Dragon, and eventually, the Queen of Renatus. Ruling beside Maric, and participating in wars, she finds herself confident to participate and act.
