With no proof to attest to her suspicions, Seileia storms into Fynn's barrack on her dragon to rescue them all. The plan should have worked as she comes disguised as one of Teleni's soldiers; however, Fynn catches her, and the two of them fight with Fynn exposing her naked body to everyone and calling her "a demon." To fall in love with a demon is the last of their wishes, and yet, outnumbered, the Kingdom of Teleni captured Seileia and leaves her under Fynn's sole guardianship.
