Soon after the battle taking place Ingrid gave birth to a daughter. Her brown hair following her father and her blue eyes following her mom. They raise her the best they can after relocating to a new home. But all is not well a sickness that had been riled up from the stress of the battle and childbirth that followed soon after started to cause Ingrid to lose strength slowly becoming weaker.
*****
Five years pass before the sickness claims Ingrid, as both loving husband and her daughter hold her hands as the last light leaves her eyes. "Come back Mom. Come back!" Tyleen cries as she is picked up by Gylbart as tears flow down both their faces knowing that the woman and mother that they both love wouldn't come back.
"Tyleen, it is time for us to grieve for her but we also need to be strong for her and carry on." He says softly as he hugs her close unsure how he was going to take care of her. Before he could give it much thought he feels a small pair of hands grip his face before he looks into his daughter's eyes. "I will be a knight and commander like my father." Tyleen says fiercely with tears in her eyes before she starts crying again.
*******
Time flies as Tyleen begins her training. Ten more years pass as she is trained not only in etiquette but also military form, strategy, and fighting by her father before she enrolls in the templar academy. As she stands on the steps of the academy, she takes in a deep breath before her sapphire eyes glitter. She is now five feet and seven inches tall with a muscular frame earned with hours of training. Becoming of age at 16 years old, She feels ready to enroll and continue to follow in her father's footsteps.
Tyleen is in her hometown of Telkin. This major city has always been a foothold for the Templar order in the kingdoms. There has always been a significant number of trainees that have gone through this academy.
Tyleen pushes ahead through the crowd of mixed parents saying good luck to their kids and seniors returning to continue there. As she pushes through the crowd a voice calls out to her.
"Ty! Over here!" A girl calls out to who as Tyleen turns and recognize her long time friend and sparing partner Marie Delmort. Her long blond hair and green eyes catches many people's attention as she pushes through the crowd. She finally latches on Tyleen in a big hug squishing her ample self against her.
She pouts, "Why didn't you wait for me Ty? You knew that I was coming to enroll with you!" She growls at her in mock anger before giggling softly. "You were always the most impatient between the two of us. I even waited a year to come to the academy so I could attend it with you."
Tyleen blushes a little before answering, "Sorry Marie I couldn't wait any more. Now let's get inside and register." She commands as she holds onto her friend's hand, dragging her behind even as Marie rolls her eyes as the naked excitement.
"You really are hopeless." Marie says as she and Tyleen weave thier way through the crowd before finally getting up to the doors of the Academy. There stands some guards in Templar colors and a older man in black robes with gold trim.
Both girls put down thier bags they are carrying before saluting the older man. "Reporting for enrollment and training Lord Drevin!" both girls sound off together as an amused twinkle shows in his eyes.
"Ah Cadets Darincul and Delmort. It is good to see you both here and ready for more training. Are both your fathers well?" Asks Drevin Mordin.
Drevin Mordin is an older templar that has served for many years and has even helped train and guide both girls dads in their time in the academy. Both of the women nod in unison before being told they are both already enrolled and have an assigned room together.
