Due to the loss this sent her father into a deep depression and he refused to leave his wife's body, due to their fathers instability after their mothers death he was locked away in a tower alone and his lordship was passed to his brother Symon Towers and the girls were sent away to Ocean Shore to be raised by their aunt Darria and her husband Varran Ocean a member of the wealthy House Ocean.

During her time in Ocean Shore Lylalias loved the ocean and would often take out ships and swim in the waters off the coast and she also loved the warmth that The Dust Lands had and loved to spend time in House Oceans vacation home on a small island off the coast of Ocean Shore.

However in in 237 NE Lylalias was betrothed to Myrus Orme the heir to Mile Place. Lylalias was devastated at the news as she hoped to marry into a house in The Dust Lands as she wanted to stay there and Mile Place was the complete opposite of what she wanted being in the icy mountains of the far north.

A year after the betrothal Lylalias tried to run away from her aunt and left the city however she didn't get far as she collapsed in the hot deserts of The Dust Lands and was later found by the search team the her aunt had sent out to find her. Lylalias was locked in a tower by her aunt in the far corner of the castle, Lylalias spend many moons in the tower not being allowed to see anyone.

Darria, her children and the girls left for The Towers to attend her brothers funeral.

After they arrived at The Towers Lylalias' aunt and uncle Symon staged a plan to make sure that Lylalias married Myrus and they planned to send her north from The Towers and not return her to Ocean Shore. Lylalias' grandmother Kanla Viper didn't agree with their plan and said that they shouldn't send her away to somewhere she doesn't know so soon after the death of her father. Darria agreed with Kanla but behind her mothers back Darria sent her niece Lylalias north to be wed to Myrus and returned to Ocean Shore with Meralyn never to see her mother again.

### **Married Life**

Lylalias was married at a small ceremony in Mile Place in 238 NE without any of her family present. Shortly after her marriage in 240 NE her grandmother Kanla died but Lylalias was forbidden from attending her grandmothers funeral. After seeing how unhappy his new wife was living in Mile Place he decided to buy a small island off the coast from House Barns in The Dust Lands and build his wife a vacation home so that she could spend her time there instead of living in Mile Place all year.

Lylalias was ecstatic at the news of her new vacation home and would go on to live there with her family during the winter months. During her married life Lylalias was terrified of having children due to her horrors associated with child birth from her mothers death and her still born siblings however in 248 NE Lylalias gave birth to her first child a healthy daughter Delma this would shortly be followed by 4 more children Dense, Lelatia, Jaymi and Willym. Lylalias enjoyed helping in tutoring her children and spending time with the swimming and playing on the beaches of their vacation home island they named Palace Orme.
