AYLETH
As the most powerful nation on the continent, the Zenithran royal party was the last to enter the amphitheater. The entire structure shook with the roars of the people as the Cryer announced them in the amphitheater, then stepped forward to allow Ayleth to follow her parents inside. The noise was so loud her ribs vibrated as they all walked to the center where a long table had been erected facing the crowds, and each Ruler and their heir or Regent, stood in a line behind it, awaiting their turn to be called forward to sign.
They were all there, but Ayleth found Trystan first—as tall and large as he was, and his hair so light, he stood out like a beacon in the line of more frail royals from the neighboring kingdoms.
