This week Myrria thought it would be nice for you to meet Prince Airyn, Princess Enit and Gorou. These three along with Airyn’s step siblings Tomas and Ciara are the next generation. One wonders if it will be left up to them to save Ramajadin if Brandan and Joachim cannot, and if it does will they be ready?
Prince Airyn/Aaron: Son of Maeve and Joachim. He is kidnapped and disappears when he is an infant. A magic spell is cast on him so that he will not be recognized and he is left in the care of a knight in Joachim’s army. He stutters when he is afraid or nervous which is most of the time, especially around his younger more talented brother. He champions the underdog and befriends a crippled Mantion. He attends the school for knights and adepts but does not think he belongs there, but instead should be tending a farm somewhere. His younger brother bullies him and he tolerates it although if severe enough or directed at his friend is quick to anger and strikes back. Unfortunately he usually comes out the loser in the confrontation so he has learned to control his anger.
Princess Enit: Daughter to Maeve and Joachim and twin sister to Airyn. Although a coddled and protected princess she chafes at the constraints placed on her by her position.
She is much like her father in her stubborn bull headed behavior. She does thing s without thinking and has to endure the consequences of her decisions. She resents her father’s lack of attention to her and his unceasing search for her missing brother. The one thing she longs for, desires the most is his love and attention. She is head strong.
Gorou: Son of the Mantion, Derdrom. He is the underdog. He has a short leg which causes him to limp. In spite of his infirmities he is a gentle loyal friend. He cares for sick animals as well as people and is in training to be a healer at the same school that Aaron and his siblings attend. Most of the time he does not let the fact that he is picked on bother him. But he will jump to Aaron’s aid if he sees that Aaron is being pushed too far. He may appear cowardly and wimpy but behind that mask is a fighter and loyal friend.
Wednesday July 22 was the feast day of Mary Magdalene. To honor her and give us all something to think about I am sharing the last section in my chapter Mary Magdalene: The Dispossessed Woman from Women in the Bible: A Study.
