And then the dragon ate ayla, her stupid brother, Talia's stupid mom, and Thalia found out that there's better, kinder guys out there to love, ran away with enough money and street smarts to survive and they all lived happily ever after.
Thalia meets the dragon along the way and after saving her from bandits, they quickly become best friends. They settle down in a seaside village and live in a small house by the ocean. At first, the townspeople are wary of them because of the dragon, but after the dragon saves them from a monster attack, they warm up to Thalia and the dragon, as the dragon becomes the town's official protector. Thalia is still awkward with talking to people respectfully because she always had to speak harshly to protect herself in the palace, but she still tries. Most of the villagers are friendly with her and greet her with a smile every time they see her and soon, she becomes comfortable enough to interact with people first and smiles a lot more. She still gets triggering flashbacks and occasionally remembers her bleak time in the palace when she's alone, but the warmth of the villagers and her dragon's support makes her feel more stable, as her mental health improves, and her heart feels more hopeful and lighter than she ever had in the palace.
