Well... the constant abuse of Jadine inevitably led him to the healer's wing to recover.
This is where he would meet his first (and indeed last) love.

Her name is Syndar, a shadow dragon. She's not very powerful as a warrior or a wizard, but she's the army's best healer, so they kept her along.

She and Jadine fell in love, and for a while at least, they were happy.
