Yet the royals grew greedy and arrogant. Crown Prince Cassian resented their godordained betrothal, tormented Arya and sought to exploit her hidden dragon power.Fearful that her father would wage war for her, Arya endured all humiliation in silence. Before their wedding, she returned home pretending to be unharmed, though Vaelor spotted her wounds. He held back his rage at her plea.On the wedding day, Vaelor arrived at the palace, only to watch Arya be cornered. Greedy for her dragongod blood, the royals drove her to leap from a tower. Her dragon blood awakened at the brink of death, yet she perished.Overwhelmed by grief, Vaelor unveiled his true identity. Unleashing his full power, he vowed vengeance and threatened to reclaim the magic he had bestowed upon the world. While striving to bring Arya back, he learned power cannot undo the past. Through loss and wrath, the fallen guardian rediscovered what it truly meant to be a father.
