Powers, that if discovered, could get her killed. So when men show up at their home, knowing of Willow's power and take her to Fairhaven, the royal city, Talia has no choice but to follow, prepared to do anything to free her sister. But once there, the Royal Council reveals that Willow has been blessed by the goddess Melora herself, and is destined to rule Lumor as it's queen. Having no place in Willow's new royal life, Talia is cast aside and joins the new recruits of the royal army, refusing to leave her sister at the mercy of the Council.
