-slow updates- Alena was different, her own people could not fully accept her because of it and they openly treated her bad. Alena would simply turn the other cheek and never stood up for herself until her arrived. When he first rode into her village she couldn't keep her eyes off the large gruff looking northerner, it was attraction at first sight. Their meeting triggered something in her. Knowing he couldn't live without her the northerner took her away with him to be his bride. This is a story of love, sorrow, and war in a world where sometimes the sad things are more than happy things but when you find the right one the happy things make the sad things worth. Is it possible that Alena has found the right man or will sorrow be the one to consume her life?
