"I know that not all of you are happy that I stand before you as Queen of Elis, and to those people I bear no ill feelings of any kind. On the contrary, I hope to put to rest your worries and suspicions and show that I am indeed worthy to be your queen."
From "History of Old Elis" by Samson Arigiros
The daughter of King Achilles of Myrmidon and his queen, Kyra, Lyra was always going to lead a life of significance. Living long in the shadow of her twin brother, Panos, Lyra never expected anything more than a future as one of the princesses of Myrmidon. She would later find herself working with the Council of Elis, who appointed her as Queen of Elis. Through her blood claim and her passion for helping others, there was none other who could take the throne.
She resides permanently in Elis with her husband, Eldin Sunweaver. She is the mother of Auréle, Thayn and Laini.
==History==
===Birth at the Amber Palace===
It was on the eve of her parents' wedding that Lyra was born, along with her twin brother Panos. She proved to be the surprise that neither parent had expected. Achilles long knew he would have a son from his trials in Hades, but a daughter had been unknown to him. Both Achilles and Kyra were overjoyed with their twins, and in honour of Kyra's late mother, they named their daughter Lyra. Both children were the first born heirs of Myrmidon in hundreds of years.
===Days under the Sun===
Lyra and her mischievous brother proved to be quite the handful for their parents. Wars had been waged and won, but none of that compared to these two rascals, and their partner in crime, Torani Storm, the daughter of Queen Rose of Elysium. Achilles and Kyra enjoyed these quiet days of peace, and took the time to enjoy their children's upbringing. Panos had quickly learned to mimic his father and his interests, while Lyra proved to mimic her mother's. Both Achilles and Kyra had their own little shadows who followed them around.
They could not hope for a better place to raise the twins. Since Myrmidon had been claimed by Achilles, the Amber Palace had been completely refurbished, as well as the surrounding buildings and areas. The island was new again, and many were happy to call it their home. The War Camp, though now effectively useless, was still used as a training area, with Achilles and Panos taking daily trips there.
===Prisoners of the Empress===
During one of Kyra ad Achilles' trips to Elysium with the twins, Kyra, Rose, Torani, Pan and Lyra were all taken captive by the dark and elusive forces of Callandra, now going by the title of Empress. Callandra had originally intended to only steal the children, wishing to raise them as her own. Her own twisted revenge against those who she thought had wronged her. Her attempt, ultimately, was in vein, and all were rescued by the forces of Achilles and Norin Cade. The island disappeared back into the waves once more, though they all knew that Callandra had returned, and swore that their children would never be safe.
===Keeping low key===
After what happened with Callandra, both Achilles and Kyra did their best to keep their children out of harms way. They continuously traveled, not staying long in the one place. Some time in Elysium, then Elis, Myrmidon and other locations around Greece. Life was peaceful and they enjoyed the freedom it brought. They stayed with their friends, and enjoyed a life away from the worries of turmoil and war.
Lyra was rarely seen without her best friend Torani Storm, and the two of them, sometimes accompanied by Panos, would get up to all kinds of mischief in the name of fun. For them, the whole world was their playground, and they exploited it to the full.
===Queen of Elis===
Lyra was only 15 years old when she learned that she would become the new Queen of Elis. Though in truth she accepted the position, it was one that came as a shock to her. When her beloved Great Uncle Solon was on his death bed, he told her the wishes of the people, the rumours that were circulating the cities. They missed their monarchs. With Kyra giving over the power of Elis to the Council, and then becoming Queen of Myrmidon, they felt as though their prince and princesses had left for other pastures. Solon presented Lyra with the power to create a republic, while also giving the people what they wished for.
Panos, Lyra and Arista all had claims to the throne of Elis. Panos was Achilles' heir, and it was his place to become King of Myrmidon one day. Lyra had been set for a life as a background monarch of Myrmidon, but now she was given the chance to rule, to become Queen of her mother's homeland. She pledged that she would reign, giving her dying uncle his wish.
More to come.......
