Story

Glona's Children

Glona was the wife of Crimsonheart and supported him in his duties as the guardian of the Antellion on Versal. Though they had no biological children of their own, Glona had a warm heart and she would frequently adopt Versalian orphans. Though Crimsonheart didn't fully understand her commitment towards adopting displaced children, he fully supported her endeavors.

The first child whom Glona and Crimsonheart adopted was a boy named Subani. Soon after, they adopted a second child named Naricain, after which they would go on to adopt several more children, including Millard and Henne. Over the years, Glona and the Grandmasters would fend off thieves who would attempt to enter their home and steal the Antellion. After one such occasion, Crimsonheart told Glona that more and more people were coming to claim the Antellion for themselves and wondered whether he was strong enough to protect it. Glona reminded him that the Antellion did not care for good or evil. Though they couldn’t stop others from becoming stronger, she told Crimsonheart that he could become stronger than any, adding that his limitless potential was why he had been appointed as the protector of the Antellion.

Crimsonheart then told Glona that he was to depart for another world tomorrow, where a great darkness loomed, and asked what could be done if someone were to attempt to claim the Antellion in his absence, to which Glona told him that the children they had raised to be strong and wise would protect it in his stead. However, Crimsonheart told Glona not to joke, claiming that the children were still too young. He then confessed that he worried about her, as she had been put in danger many times because of his responsibilities as the Antellion’s protector. Glona reassured him that it ought not to concern him as long as she was alive, adding that she trusted him to do what was right by fulfilling his duty to protect others from the darkness. When Crimsonheart asked what to do with those who sought to take the Antellion for themselves, she told him to show them the error of their ways as a father would do with his children, reminding him that they would never turn away a child in need. Crimsonheart confessed that he couldn’t understand her compulsion to take in such children, noble as it was, and asked whether the ones that she had now were enough for her. Glona merely laughed and reminded Crimsonheart that there was no end to their love.

Subani and Naricain

Years later, Glona overheard a conversation between Subani and Naricain. Subani feared that he was too weak to become a protector of the Antellion, but Naricain reassured him that he was strong enough before vowing that he himself would become strong enough to protect his mother from harm, as thieves would often come to steal the Antellion. Glona then showed herself and told Naricain that he was very noble. She then told Subani that she had heard that Crimsonheart had scolded him, which was why he had been crying, and asked what had happened. When Subani admitted that it had been because he hadn’t been training hard enough, Glona asked him whether he knew why the people of Versal had been blessed by the Antellion. She explained that the Versalians had a duty to protect not just Versal, but anyone who was being threatened by darkness. Though she appreciated their desire to protect her, Glona reminded them that she also had a duty to protect others. She then told the two brothers that the power they gained from training came with a duty to others, reminding Naricain that he needed to use his great power for good.

Glona's Death

Some time later, however, another incident occurred, in which thieves attempted to steal the Antellion. Knowing that she could not allow the Antellion to fall into the wrong hands, Glona used her life force to create a powerful magical shield that prevented the thieves from coming any closer. However, the energy expenditure resulted in her death. Naricain then arrived at the scene, and upon seeing his mother's death, he unleashed powerful dark magic to destroy the thieves. Glona's death was the catalyst for Naricain's descent into darkness, as he blamed Crimsonheart for being absent instead of with his family.
