[*This is a supplemental story to one of the main characters. It can be read alone, but I suggest at least reading a little of the main story to get a better emotional connection. This backstory is a special thank you to all my readers for adding my story to their collections! Upon 400, I plan to do a mass-release of concept art for creatures in my novel*]
The night for her departure had come...and she wasn't thrilled about it. Aetier Varkys was the oldest, and most decorated of all seven of the Varkys brothers. He had been his father's personal General, and had taken the throne since the old man had passed.
So, when her brother told her all about the man he set her up to marry, she should have been thrilled - but she held a sour face as her elder sibling attempted to turn her bad mood into a lighter one as he continued to explain how 'great' of a match they were - and how safe she'd be in his care now that war had broken out again.
