A bride walks onto the sacrifice boat alone, leaving a faithless groom behind.
In Holomir, tradition demands the groom tow the wedding vessel across the Sacred River or the bride is condemned to the Dragon Shrine. Elara Vale foresees her fiancé Adrian choosing his apprentice Vivienne, yet she waits at the riverbank. He never arrives. Refusing to plead, she journeys to the capital and witnesses their intimacy firsthand. Upon returning, she steps onto the sacrifice boat alone. Only then does Adrian reappear, begging her to stay, but Elara has already chosen a different path. With her grandmother and the Dragon King beside her, she departs her old life entirely.
