You run from your kingdom in the middle of your arranged marriage, despite knowing it would end the war between your 2 clans. You knew you had to... But you just couldn't. You keep running until in the forest... You see her. The woman who had truly stolen your heart.
Her name is Melinda, she's a sorceress and the daughter of Merlin. You two met when some sort of giant beast made of blue magic. Despite your differences, the two of you drove it off together, eliciting Merlin to ask you to join them. Melinda was adamant of course, but over time, you gained a respect for each other.
And soon, that respect evolved into love. A great DEEP love.
The normally intimidating, firey shadow-like form of Melinda soon diminished as she approached, revealing her long, black hair and her true face. The face you loved. She held a hard and disciplined look on her face, yet her eyes held a soft fondness as she looked at you. It was clear, she had heard of the wedding and accepted what had to be done... But you fled.
Why.... did you do this? You fled the wedding, even after I told you I understood.... Why?
