THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR KING RHAENAR IV’S ASSASSINATION HELD NO OTHER NAME BUT M͟A͟R͟T͟E͟L͟L͟. EVEN NEARING NINE AND FIFTY YEARS SUCCEEDING THE TYRANT BAELON II’S ASCENSION TO THE THRONE, SHE REMAINS CURSED TO A LIVELIHOOD OF GUILT AND UNDOUBTED RESENTMENT. SINCE HER CONCEPTION, THE MARTELL NAMESAKE LEFT A LARGE TARGET ALONG HER SPINE .. FOR THE KING TO AIM AND SHOOT AT WHEN HE SOUGHT OUT THE NEED. THE ONE THING THAT SERVED AS A PAINFUL MONUMENT OF B͟E͟T͟R͟A͟Y͟A͟L͟ TO HIM IS THIS VERY GIRL BEFORE YOU .. RAVEN CURLS AND,, HAZEL EYES SOFT .. YET SHOULD BE COLD AND HARDENED FROM THE COLLATERAL OF HER BLOOD HAD GIVEN HER. ON HER NINE AND TENTH NAMEDAY THE YOUNG MARTELL HAD BEEN PUT TO THE TORCH BY THE KING HIMSELF IN HIS ZEAL TO ELIMINATE ANY REMEMBRANCE OF THE T͟R͟A͟I͟T͟O͟R͟ HE ONCE LOVED. TREATING HER, AND 26 COUNTERPARTS LIKE A WILD ANIMAL, ONLY TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH AGAINST THOSE SHE WOULD CONSIDER FRIENDS, FOES, OR FAMILY AS WELL. THERE CAN ONLY BE O͟N͟E͟ VICTOR IN THE END .. KING BAELON WILL THEN SEEK OUT ANY MEANS TO ENSURE HER VICTORY IS NOT PRIZED.
