After pondering her royal education, Queen Ivy has planned for a new court. First, she will need to scout the nearby valley to recruit a hero.
These lands are filled with diverse talents, waiting to be harnessed and shown the right way.
Queen Ivy is familiar with some of the families that live in it but others are more recluse and will require more effort.
Historical documents on the old ways state that choosing a queen's companions must be done carefully.
Each appointment to the court grants nobility and the privileges that come with it should be treated with reverence and respect.
Already, the Queen has scoured the countryside for eligible fairies with the right combination of traits to join her.
Her trips have taken her from one end of Dragun Valliy to another, from one memorable name to the next.
Thankfully, the reception to Queen Ivy's sudden appearances has been positive.
For many, she is a mysterious figure with strange powers hidden away in her crumbling stone castle.
But there are some who see the twinkle in her eyes and are willing to follow this enigmatic creature.
Like Nuala O'Ryan, a curious woman with dormant abilities trapped beneath the surface.
