IT WAS THE GRANDEST wedding that any city had seen when Est’it wed Isri. Both were overjoyed at the obstacles that they had overcome when they welcomed their first child into the world, Athinea, named in honor of Athine.
Athinea would grow up strong in the Chaddral arts just like her mother and siblings. Cerynian continued to prosper under the new alliance with the distant Emoroka.
The people of Cerynian soon forgot the Narkurru magic they had learned and instead learned Chaddral. The inhabitants were free to worship whatever deity they desired. A term of Pax Chaddral reigned in this new era of freedom.
Isri was able to make Athine a powerful weapon that she named Hujase. It was a beautiful earthen staff made in Ialo and endowed with powerful Chaddral magic. It kept Athine safe and allowed her to magnify her powers, but there was never a time that went by that she didn’t think of Is’che’aiq and wonder if he was doing alright.
