It had been ten years since Tyll'a and Anaelyn had married. The healers had said that they likely would never be able to have children, but they proved them wrong, as they had been blessed with a daughter. They named her after Tyll'a's lost sister, and little Ayu had grown into a healthy child. Her eyes glowed, just as her parents' eyes did, and she was the most popular girl in her class. But she had a stubborn streak that she had inherited from her father: when she put her mind to something, she wouldn't stop until it was done.

Tyll'a and Anaelyn looked on as their daughter played in the yard, and the two lovers kissed. Their love had stood the test of time, and they would go on to stay together for the rest of Tyll'a's life.
