Three Suitors

Thoris had told Balor all about her suitors. Anyone of them could have been his future brother-in-law. Three of them and all of them were old enough to be his father… just his so one of them couldn't have been very old.

The youngest of them was Lewxam, descended from Amma himself. Lewxam was forty-four years old, the leader of the X'Ja clan. Lewxam was of great stature, colossal frame and strongest one in his clan. He was vicious, fearless, strong and powerful but was also highly intelligent.

The oldest of them was Lain. Unlike Lewxam, Lain was quitter, less imposing and arrogant. He had a good heart but was not the mightiest of warriors made even worse by the fact that he was descended from a long line of warriors who had either died of illness and never seen action or never won a fight. It was he that Thoris loved. So what if he was twenty-one years her elder? Lewxam was loud and arrogant and the middle suitor was never honest.

Nirot was his name and he was a trickster, a wily one who trusted no one something that some would consider a wise policy. Nirot had a hard life and wasn't exactly faithful from what stories where told of him but who was Thoris to believe stories. However Nirot was also on good terms with Lain and had promised to stand by Lain should Thoris ever be stolen away and aid him in rescuing her.

Thoris knew whose proposal she would accept. She loved Lain and that was that.
