Disaster is about to strike
Another wyvern will come and attack them. And varkus ends up distracted with Ayla leaving Talia alone with no knight to be taken by the wyvern. She’s taken by the wyvern before they manage to kill it while it’s flying away. Because she was still in the wyverns grasp she falls with it and is seriously injured.
This then leads into Talia’s mom’s plans to make Varkus marry her cuz it’s “his fault” for not protecting her. Varkus is quick asf to marry her tho lol











I read this for the first time in 6th grade and I remember wanting to be like athy so bad
