"I was the one supposed to make you bleed. All of you... And even though I hated you, you were all what I had."

Since her oldest memories, Lira'lei always remembered growing in the royal family as a black sheep. Adopted, not of royal blood and not even child of dragons, everybody saw her as the product of the queen's hysteria, a toy she bought to satisfy her need for a child to take care of. But growing as an intruder in a warrior's family was a hard thing to live ... So much that one day, she just sweared to make them all pay, her so called "father" the emperor, her "brothers" and "sisters" who only thought ill of her... And so she begun her journey to become a warrior princess.

Yet, that vengeance of her never saw its day coming as one day, war broke up the frontiers and went as deep as in her very palace. In the confusion of the battles, she arrived too late in the throne room, spectator of the tragic death of the entire royal family. Inraged and victim of the imminent despair, the only thing she was able to do was to take the gauntlet of her father and hold it tight, the symbol of his power and artifact of the ancients dragons protector that chosed her "father" as emperor.

She never had her revenge but more than that, she realized how much she hated them but also how much they meant to her. As troublesome she could have been to her family, they were still family, despite the fact that they were more cruel to her than normal. Old bitterness turned into regrets and sadness. Maybe the day she would have proved her worth, she would be welcomed as a proud warrior that everyone thought so highly of. Maybe, by beating them one by one, she would have earn respect and love. But now, it is a fact that those events will never occur.
