I see. I kinda figured that the Vantulos were like matchmakers for Mamono who would have a difficult time finding husbands and pair them up with bad guys, or something. Sort of an ironic twist. That's good thinking with the self deprecation, though.

Welp, you get the scoop...Tirush and Partha lived far north of Whitemarch in a small mountain country named Perotia, which was on the northeast border of Etrugia. Her clan hired out as mercenaries to both sides when she was still young. She fell in love with a Rider, and they trained together for a while, but he ultimately left her for a then-stronger Wyvern. When her clan began interfighting with which side to pick in the war, she fled, already heartbroken.

She met another man, this one a soldier who had served his tour. They fell deeply in love and she had a child, Partha, but she was only seven days old when Perotia was annexed and he was forcibly drafted, being killed in battle shortly thereafter. When the war reached their home and the Inquisition from Nilhasse swept through their land, they were forced to flee.

Tirush raised Partha for ten years in relative safety, but the Nilhassians began capturing Mamono for use as slaves using Order magic, and they had to flee yet again, this time being separated. Partha flew far south, as far as she could go, while Tirush bought her time.

Partha lived in Whitemarch, for a week, alone, exhausted and starving. Out of desperation, she raided a farm, burning a field to scare and flock of goats, stealing one. This farm happened to be in Cumbria, which is under Doc's patricianship. The job of watching the farmer's lands and patrolling their flocks falls to Aegis, so she visited them and heard their story. She was convinced that it was the doing of a full grown Wyvern, so she set off in search of the culprit.

She tracked Partha to her cave. They faced off, and even though Partha is only ten, she is still larger than Aegis, who, never having seen a Wyvern, thought Partha was much older. They clashed fiercely, but finally, Aegis got the better of her and broke a bone in Partha's wing. Bybthat time, Partha was terrified, crying out for her Ama (mother) and Aegis questioned her. It was only then Aegis realized what a terrible mistake she had made.

Aegis went and got Doc, who took Partha home and mended her, and she was fed and given a warm place to recover. Doc questioned her, and he and Aegis set out to find Tirush. After a week of searching (Doc narrowing it down using his magic) they located Tirush, who was mad with desperation. Only after a while did they convince her that Partha was safe, after which they took her to the Estate and reunited them. Tirush pledged herself to Doc from that moment on.

That was about six months prior to modern day. Tirush and Partha have lived in the nearby granite rises, and Doc and Tirush became good friends, with Partha adoring Doc's kids because she's rarely known a playmate. Tirush and Doc grew close, and they finally decided to marry after talking with Regina and the kids, who were more than accepting.

And that's most of it.
