## History

Amaya was born inside Katolis on August 21st, a couple of years after her older sister Sarai. Despite being born deaf, she became a warrior along with Sarai, and was acquainted with King Harrow and Lord Viren. She became an aunt when Sarai gave birth to Amaya's first nephew, Callum, and then to her second nephew, Ezran, after Sarai's marriage to Harrow. Amaya developed a loving and protective relationship with both of them over the years.

When Duren and Katolis were threatened with starvation, King Harrow led an expedition into Xadia to retrieve the heart of a Magma Titan, which was needed for a dark magic ritual to end the famine in Duren and bring fertility to both kingdoms. Amaya participated in the expedition and although it ended with success, she was injured during the fight against the Magma Titan. Due to the burden of transporting the wounded presented, Viren told Harrow that they must be left behind in order to avoid Avizandum, the King of the Dragons. When Harrow refused, unwilling to leave men behind especially since Sarai offered to stay with them, Viren accused Harrow that if Amaya was not related to Sarai, he would have followed his advice.

Harrow stood by his decision, and true to Viren's fears, Avizandum arrived and attacked them. Amaya made it past the Border, but during the retreat, Annika, Neha, and Sarai were killed by the Dragon King. It can be deduced Amaya's hatred of Xadians stemmed from that incident.

Amaya has since risen to general and leader of Katolis's Standing Battalion and has been entrusted to guard the human side of the Border at the fortress located there. Her second in command, Commander Gren, had become a close friend and a sign language interpreter for her.

## First Saga

Amaya rides to the Banther Lodge alongside several soldiers to check on Callum and Ezran when she notices the presence of Rayla. After an intense confrontation, Amaya lets Rayla go with her nephews before secretly sending Corvus to follow them from a distance while she and Gren head to Katolis to stop Viren's coronation. Amaya chastises Viren for attempting to usurp Harrow's throne and decides to put Gren in command of the castle before returning to the Border.

Amaya is patrolling the Breach where she encounters and battles a troop of Sunfire Elves led by Janai before escaping. Amaya and Fen choose to check on their Xadian outpost for more potential threats and barely escaped Janai's ambush.

Upon reuniting with Gren and learning that Viren was arrested for treason and that Katolis could not send reinforcements, Amaya resorts to destroying the Breach to separate the Human Kingdoms and Xadia permanently. However, Janai managed to cut the cable, which forced Amaya to detonate the explosive barrels herself. Although the feat was successful, Amaya was trapped on the other side of the Border. She chose to rescue Janai from falling to the lava before surrendering to the Sunfire Elves. Amaya was imprisoned in Lux Aurea with Kazi as her interpreter, though she refused to reveal why the Standing Battalion was at the Border. Exasperated, Janai brought Amaya to her sister Queen Khessa, who wished to see the general disposed of. But after Janai divulged their encounter, Khessa ordered Pharos to subject Amaya to "the Light" to reveal her true nature. Amaya's pure heart spared her from execution and she was returned to her cell. Amaya was terrified when she learned that Viren was in Lux Aurea and persuaded Janai to free her to stop the dark mage from inflicting harm. However, Viren was able to corrupt the Sunforge with [[Aaravos]'s help and killed Khessa in the process. Amaya was able to stop Janai from committing a suicidal attack on Viren by empathizing with the loss of her sister. Alongside Janai and the surviving Sunfire Elves, Amaya journeyed to the Storm Spire on the Twin-Tailed Inferno-Tooth Tiger Embertail, where she was reunited with her nephews and prepared to protect Zubeia and Azymondias from Viren. Amaya, Janai, and Soren fought side-by-side during the battle and they were about to be overwhelmed when the armies of Duren and Ezran's loyalists arrived to turn the tide of the battle. After the battle was won, Amaya reunited with Gren and Corvus before holding hands with Janai when Zubeia awakened from her slumber and was reunited with Zym.

## During the two Years

Over the span of half a year, Amaya and Janai became close friends. During winter, Amaya was invited to a spot near the mountains of the Frozen Sea, where Janai told her the story of a seasonal Sunfire Elf tradition meant to honor a brave traveler through a meal called "Crackledrake". While there, the two reestablished how important their friendship was to each other, as Amaya could help Janai to enjoy herself, away from the burdens of life.

During these years, Amaya hired the people of Katolis to assist the Sunfire Elves with rebuilding a temporary settlement in the ruins of one of their older cities near Lux Aurea. At some point, she located a rare book called the "Tome of Translation", which she sent to Callum in Katolis.

## Second Saga

Two years after the battle at the Storm Spire, Janai and the other Sunfire Elves had relocated to a camp that was built over their people's original capital with the aid of humans from Katolis. Amaya became anxious when she Gren accompanied Janai on a secret mission in a nearby forest. However, when it was revealed that Janai took them there to propose, Amaya happily accepted. The humans and the Sunfire Elves congratulate Amaya and Janai for their engagement, and Amaya became more acquainted with her future brother-in-law Prince Karim. Several days later, Amaya was informed about the dispute between Lucia and Yonnis before Janai chose to call a "Tribunal of the Six Horns" since extinguishing a Soul Candle is seen as a terrible crime by the Sunfire Elves. Amaya was unable to defend Lucia and asked for a merciful justice. Although the Six Horns sentenced Lucia to death, Amaya was relieved when Janai decided to spare Lucia's life. Within the next day, Janai took Amaya to an area outside of the camp and talked about running away with her since she felt that she had not been a good queen to the Sunfire Elves. Amaya convinced Janai to resume her duties as the Sunfire Queen and that she would also be happy to be married to her. Amaya and Kazi became witnesses when Karim challenged Janai to a Royal Blood Duel, which resulted in Janai's victory and Karim's banishment.

As Janai began to have nightmares about Aaravos killing Khessa, Amaya provided distraction from the trauma by choosing the right type of flower for their wedding. Amaya and Kazi waited for Janai to make her choice when Callum, Rayla, Bait, and Stella arrived to inform their plan of finding a way to defeat Aaravos inside the Great Bookery of Lux Aurea. After Janai forbade Callum's group from venturing into Lux Aurea, Amaya was able to convince her otherwise. Janai gifted her sword to Amaya as protection and allowed her, Gren, and Kazi to accompany Callum's group in their mission. Upon entering the Great Bookery, Amaya and Rayla had a hear-to-heart conversation about love and trust before the setting sun allowed corrupted Banthers to swarm the library. The corrupted Banthers' numbers were about to overwhelm Callum's group when Ezran, Zym, Soren, Corvus, and Zubeia came to their rescue. Amaya and Corvus succeeded in surviving the onslaught of corrupted Banthers by taking shelter inside the book drop of the Great Bookery as Team Zym flew to the Storm Spire. Amaya and Corvus managed to reach the Sunfire Elf camp and reunited with Gren and Kazi before learning about Kim'dael's attack and Janai's abduction. After Pharos delivered Karim's ultimatum to the Six Horns, Amaya opted to rescue Janai herself. Amaya donned Miyana's armor and brought a tied up Pharos back to Karim. The following skirmish resulted in Amaya scarring Karim when he attempted to kill Janai, which in turn allowed the general to reunite with her betrothed. Upon returning to the camp, Amaya was informed that Miyana had defected to Karim's side. In the following night, she hugged the weeping Janai after the latter learned that Aaravos swallowed her great-grandmother Aditi.

## Book One - Moon

### Echoes of Thunder

Amaya stands at the Breach as Aaravos retells the story of humanity's banishment to the West of the continent.

### Bloodthirsty

Amaya arrives with a contingent of soldiers at the Banther Lodge and finds Callum and Ezran there. She is happy to find them safe and sound, but these musings are quickly broken when she senses someone else there but she is convinced by her nephews that her worries are unfounded. When asked by Callum what she is doing at the lodge, she tells them that Harrow informed her of the Moonshadow Elf threat and ordered her to go to the Banther Lodge to protect them.

Amaya later finds Rayla in the lodge and overpowers her. Before she can kill the elf, Gren interrupts and tells her that Callum and Ezran have disappeared, prompting her to take Rayla prisoner and interrogate her instead. Callum, Ezran, and Bait then rescue Rayla, but the quartet is immediately surrounded after they leave the lodge. Callum then signs to Amaya that Rayla will kill them and drink their blood unless she lets them go. Rayla goes along with Callum's ruse and holds her blades against the princes' throats and all four go on a boat to escape.

Amaya, having been tricked by Callum, believes that the princes are doomed if Rayla realizes they will follow them. She later sends Corvus to find and rescue the missing princes, and announces to the people of Katolis that the princes are still alive, interrupting Viren's attempt to be crowned.

### An Empty Throne

Amaya later confronts Viren in the throne room and calls him out for failing to protect King Harrow. When Viren deflected the blame on Harrow's stubbornness, Amaya accused him of wanting Harrow to die. She demands him to honor his friend by finding his sons, but Viren insists that the princes were good as dead if they were prisoners of a Moonshadow Elf. He argues that they cannot leave the throne of Katolis empty lest it signals their enemies to attack. Amaya refused Viren's desire to seize her brother-in-law's throne when his body was barely cold and further refused to accept his offer to rule as Queen Regent, declaring that the throne will remain empty until they find the princes.

Amaya later visits Sarai's tomb to mourn her sister and to apologize for letting Callum and Ezran slip away. She reminisces with Viren but later mocks him when he once again tries to convince her that he means well and then assigns Gren to find the princes, keeping the fact that Corvus was already looking for them a secret.

Right before she leaves to return to the Border, Amaya tells the Crownguard not to trust Viren. Unbeknownst to her, Soren and the other Crownguard were still willing to follow Viren's orders by imprisoning Gren right after she left.

## Book Two - Sky

### A Secret and a Spark

Having returned to the Border, Amaya begins crossing the Breach before she is accosted by three Sunfire Elves who immediately attack her. Amaya is able to beat them all and throws them over the cliff, but she is soon met by a new opponent, Janai, who swiftly destroys her sword with a Sunforge blade. Realizing she is at a disadvantage, Amaya retreats to her fortress. Subsequently, she sent a report back to Katolis warning of elven forces gathering on the Xadian side of the Breach.

### Voyage of the Ruthless

Back at her fortress, Amaya becomes concerned that the Katolian outpost on the Xadian side was compromised, despite the all-clear smoke signal being used, and leads a party alongside Fen to investigate. They find the outpost deserted, save for one guard, who claimed that his squad went out on patrol and he was late sending the signal. Just as her squad lowers their guard, Amaya notices the outpost guard gesturing nervously that someone was behind him. Realizing they have walked right into an ambush, Amaya quickly shields the guard from being shot in the back, before the Sunfire Elves, led by Janai, spring their trap and attack. Amaya fights Janai once again and manages to disarm her opponent with her blade, only for the elf to activate her heat-being mode. Realizing they are outmatched, Amaya leads her soldiers to safety and back to their fortress.

### Breaking the Seal

In a flashback narrated by Viren, Amaya accompanies Sarai and Harrow on an expedition into Xadia to seek a Magma Titan and extract its heart for a dark magic spell that can save Katolis and Duren from famine. Although they at first believe the creature to be dead upon finding it, the titan is very well alive and begins to attack them, leaving them all to prepare for a fight.

### Heart of a Titan

As Harrow's expedition party battles the Magma Titan, the creature uses its brute strength to injure Amaya. However, Amaya retaliates by using her shield to propel Sarai so she can use her spear to kill the Magma Titan. Sarai and Amaya choose to stay behind so Harrow and Viren can swiftly transport the Magma Titan's heart back to Katolis, but Harrow refuses to leave anyone behind. Amaya manages to return to the Breach just as Avizandum arrives, but Annika, Neha, and Sarai are killed.

## Book Three - Sun

### Sol Regem

Upon seeing Gren make his return back to the fortress, Amaya is happy to be reunited with him and learns of Viren being arrested for treason, though she is not too surprised about this fate. But to more pressing matters, knowing they cannot defend the Breach and yet not wanting to surrender, Amaya decides to destroy the connection path, allowing the elves and humans to be separated permanently.

When the Standing Battalion has placed explosive barrels on the Breach, Janai uses her sword to cut the cable. Amaya decides to detonate the explosives herself by confronting Janai and uses the elf's sword to ignite the barrels, destroying the Breach. Amaya then sees Janai hanging onto a precipice and pulls her up before surrendering herself to the Sunfire Elves.

### Ghost

Janai holds Amaya prisoner in Lux Aurea and assigns Kazi as her interpreter. When Janai questions Amaya about her presence near the Border, Amaya signs to her about accommodating her sword more obscenely. The exasperated Janai decides to bring Amaya to her sister Khessa, the queen of the Sunfire Elves.

Janai and Kazi present Amaya to Khessa in the throne room and allow the Sunfire Queen to inspect the human. Disgusted, Amaya spits before Khessa and the Sunfire Queen orders her sister to have the human disposed of. But Janai refuses that Amaya has treated her with a warrior's honor. Khessa then orders Pharos to subject Amaya to "the Light". The intense light forces Amaya to shut her eyes, but Janai insists that she needs to look if she wishes to live. Amaya relents and although the judgment exhausts her, Khessa is impressed that the human has a pure heart and allows her to remain in Lux Aurea.

### Thunderfall

Amaya briefly appears in a flashback when Viren tells Aaravos the story of how he and Harrow worked together to kill Avizandum.

### Hearts of Cinder

Amaya and Kazi are conversing in her cell when Janai arrives to tell the human that her king has arrived in Lux Aurea. At first, Amaya believes that it is Ezran and is stunned about him coming to the elven city, but after Janai describes the king as ugly and rotten to the core, the horrified Amaya realizes that it is Viren and warns the elves about the danger he can bring to the city. Amaya and Janai rush towards the Sunforge where Viren is to be purified, but the dark mage and Aaravos successfully execute their plan and kill Khessa. The devastated Janai intends to attack Viren and Aaravos, but Amaya prevents her from doing so and she empathizes with the elf about losing a queen and a sister. Amaya then comforts Janai as she grieves in tears.

### Dragonguard

After Viren's attack on Lux Aurea, Amaya and Janai journey to the Storm Spire on the back of a Twin-Tailed Inferno-Tooth Tiger named Embertail. Amaya reunites with her nephews and is about to attack Rayla before Callum explains their new relationship. Amaya and Janai inform Team Zym about Viren's approaching army and that they have brought the surviving Sunfire Elves to defend the Storm Spire.

### The Final Battle

At sunrise, Amaya briefs her allies that their main priority is to protect Azymondias and Zubeia from Viren at any cost. Once they are on the battlefield, Amaya, Janai, and Soren position themselves on the front lines as they defend the Storm Spire from Viren's soldiers. Despite their best efforts, Viren's army is slowly overwhelming the defenders. It is only when Duren's army and Ezran's loyalists arrive that the tide of the battle turns.

After the battle, Amaya reunites with Gren and expresses her concern about Viren's escape, unaware that he has climbed the Storm Spire to harvest Zym's essence.

After claiming victory in battle, Team Zym and their allies watch Zubeia wake from her slumber and reunite with her son as Amaya and Janai hold hands to show the Dragon Queen that the Human Kingdoms and Xadia have finally achieved peace.

## Crackledrake

Janai invites Amaya in spending time together by eating a traditional Sunfire Elf meal called "Crackledrake" near the Frozen Sea as they reflect on how much their friendship had grown since their first meeting. When Amaya accidentally burns her hands after reaching into the flaming brandy by accident, Janai swiftly uses the Sun's Tears ointment in her possession to treat the wound. Janai is relieved that Amaya accepts her apology as the pair decides to continue with their meal while helping each other with their signing.

## Book Four - Earth

### Rebirthday

Amaya accompanies Janai and Gren into the forest near the new Sunfire Elf settlement, where she asks about the secret mission they have been deployed on. When Amaya tells Janai that they should not keep secrets from each other, Janai assures her that it is safer that Amaya to not know everything just yet, before promising that she will understand soon. They eventually get off their horses and Amaya expresses her worries, feeling as if they are not alone in the forest. Janai excuses Gren to join her for a private conversation, leaving the anxious Amaya alone on the clearing. While awaiting her companions' return, the horses grow alarmed, with one being spooked enough to run off. Having her suspicions about not being alone confirmed, Amaya is quickly surrounded by three Sunfire Elves wielding what appear to be flaming whips. Amaya is able to incapacitate the elves, believing to have been victim of an ambush. When Janai and Gren return dressed in a flowery attire, however, Amaya learns that the three Sunfire Elves are flame ribbon dancers asked to perform a traditional Sunfire Elf ceremony. When Amaya asks for the kind of ceremony, Janai gets down to one knee and proposes to Amaya using sign language. Amaya happily accepts Janai's proposal, sharing a hug and a kiss with her fiancée before apologizing to the dancers she attacked, helping them to get back on their feet.

### Fallen Stars

Back at their camp, Amaya and Janai receive congratulations from the people of Lux Aurea and Katolis residing at the new settlement. When Janai's younger brother Karim compliments what a beautiful couple they make, Amaya jokes that she will not beat him up as much, now that he will become her brother. After sharing a laugh, Amaya and Gren leave the others to themselves.

At evening, Amaya joins Janai in her tent and notices that something is off. Despite not being aware that Karim had asked Janai to not go official with their union as a married couple, due to not wanting humans and elves to live together, Amaya inquires whether they are moving too fast. When Janai assures her that she wants to marry her and that they are not moving too fast, Amaya kisses her hand and corrects that she meant the relationship between their people. As Janai has no answer to this question, Amaya comforts her with a hug.

### The Great Gates

Following the commotion caused by the disagreement of Lucia and Yonnis, Amaya joins Gren at a tent in camp to inquire about what had transpired. Gren explains to her that Lucia, the civilian that was wounded during the argument, was their chief architect from Katolis who had helped rebuild the settlement from the ruins, and that she is currently healing after having been burned by Yonnis. The two join Lucia in her tent, who asks whether she is under arrest due to the presence of guards. Amaya explains that they are a precaution as the elves are upset at what she has done by dishonoring their traditions. When Lucia wants to leave as she can not understand the ruckus about a candle being blown out, Amaya insists for her to stay in the tent, as she fears for her safety. Amaya then tells Lucia that Queen Janai will determine her fate.

### The Drakewood

Amaya and Gren enters the royal tent when Janai and Karim are discussing Lucia's punishment. Amaya ridicules the idea of punishing Lucia since the latter was the one who got burned and merely extinguished a candle. Karim clarifies that Lucia profaned a sacred Sunfire Elf mourning rite and asks Amaya if any of the Human Kingdoms exact a penalty for such action. When Amaya jokes about comparing the incident with a regular birthday celebration, the angered Karim demands Janai into calling a "Tribunal of the Six Horns". Amaya discourages Janai from doing so since Lucia will be killed if she is found guilty, but Janai agrees to honor her people's traditions and call for a tribunal.

Amaya and Gren attend the Tribunal of the Six Horns to defend Lucia. After Karim served his case on how Sunfire Elves ignite Soul Candles to guide the spirits of the deceased into the morning sun and that Lucia continuously ignored Yonnis's pleas, Amaya realizes that Lucia was not innocent and asked for a merciful justice. Despite this, the Six Horns declared Lucia as guilty and that she must die for her crimes. However, Amaya was relieved when Janai decided to spare Lucia's life so that she could make amends with the Sunfire Elves.

### Rex Igneous

Amaya accompanies Janai when the latter takes her to the stables so that she is introduced to Aegis, a Twin-Tailed Inferno-Tooth Tiger that has become Embertail's love interest. Janai then informs Amaya that they need to talk about something important, prompting them to mount up and fly to a secluded field. Amaya listens to Janai expressing her desire to become a beacon of hope for the Sunfire Elves, only to feel lost after everything that happened. Janai then tells Amaya her intentions to abdicate the crown to Karim so that they can run away together. When Amaya asks Janai on the life that she truly wants, Janai wishes to continue in becoming the Sunfire Queen but feels that she cannot be with Amaya at the same time. Amaya motivates Janai to embrace both parts of her life at the same time as they share a loving kiss.

### Escape from Umber Tor

At sunrise, Amaya stays inside Janai's tent when Kazi enters and delivers an invitation to a Royal Blood Duel to Janai. When Amaya asks what it means, she is informed about the ancient and illegal fight to the death that Janai has been challenged to by her brother Karim. Worrying about the outcome, Amaya attends the duel as a spectator, where she encourages Janai to stand up for what she wants instead of running to live a peaceful life with her future wife. Watching the battle with a tense body language, Amaya eventually witnesses Janai emerging victorious. Moved by Janai's plans to bring a bright and beautiful future to both of their people, Amaya smiles at her fiancée as the Six Horns arrest Karim for treason.

## Book Five - Ocean

### Nightmares & Revelations

Amaya is sleeping next to Janai inside the royal tent before the latter wakes up from a nightmare about Aaravos killing Khessa. Amaya comforts Janai and successfully convinces her in choosing the right type of flower for their wedding as a distraction from the trauma.

With Kazi's help, Amaya is able to narrow the choices down to sunset violets and crimson orchids, only for Janai to find herself unable to choose between either of them. Amaya and Kazi encourage Janai to just pick one of the remaining two flowers, Callum, Rayla, Bait, and Stella enter the tent with Gren. Callum's group congratulates Amaya and Janai for their engagement before they reveal their mission of going into the Great Bookery of Lux Aurea to research for a way to defeat Aaravos. However, Janai forbids them due to the corrupted creatures that are infesting the fallen city.

Amaya and Gren are able to catch Callum's group in their attempt of sneaking out from the camp. Amaya and Gren call Callum out for being a bad liar before they reveal their intention of accompanying the group to Lux Aurea alongside Kazi.

Amaya finds Janai praying to the Sun Seed when the latter is not surprised that Callum and his group are insisting on going to Lux Aurea. Despite Janai's wish of riding into battle alongside Amaya, her new responsibilities as the Sunfire Queen compels her to stay in the camp to protect her people. Due to the immense danger Aaravos poses to the world, Amaya and Janai know that their wedding needs to be delayed.

As Amaya, Gren, and Kazi are preparing to accompany Callum's group to Lux Aurea, Janai gives them her blessing. Janai then gives Amaya her sword that has been decorated with a crimson orchid. Amaya is happy that Janai managed to choose the type of flower she wants for their wedding and that she will be fighting by their side in spirit.

### The Great Bookery

Amaya and the rest of Callum's group ride through Lux Aurea's desolate streets before they arrive at the Great Bookery. After Kazi informs the group about the book drop that they used as a secret reading place, Amaya reminds them and Callum to focus on their mission.

As Callum and Kazi search for potential clues about Startouch Elf weaknesses, Amaya apologizes to Rayla about their first yet hostile meeting at the Banther Lodge due to her initial perspective on elves, which then changed after befriending and falling in love with Janai. Rayla swiftly forgives Amaya before the latter vows to kill the Moonshadow Elf if she ever hurt Callum again. Rayla confesses to Amaya and Gren that she left Callum in order to protect him so that she could be strong alone. Amaya tells that Rayla she used to have a similar mindset after Sarai died until she realized that she felt lonely. But after meeting Janai, Amaya learns that true strength is found through trust and sharing burdens with loved ones. Rayla is touched and inspired by Amaya's words before she gives the general a warm hug.

Upon witnessing the sun setting on Lux Aurea, Amaya alerts everyone about the danger. Amaya and Rayla allow Gren and Kazi to ride back to the Sunfire Elf camp first on the Shadowpaw before they return to the Great Bookery to retrieve Callum. Amaya carries Callum away while being completely oblivious to the fact that he found a way to free Rayla's family that had been trapped inside Viren's enchanted coins. Before the group could exit the Great Bookery, corrupted Banthers start to enter the library and attack. Amaya uses her sword to cut down every corrupted Banther that is threatening the group before Ezran, Zym, Soren, Corvus, and Zubeia come to their rescue. When Amaya sees corrupted Banthers surrounding Bait, she rushes toward the Glow Toad before tossing him to Soren. Amaya chooses to stay behind to distract the corrupted Banthers. Team Zym encourages Amaya to come with them until her shouting "Go!" convinces the heroes to leave without her. After seeing Corvus falling off Zubeia, Amaya immediately runs to his side to protect him from the corrupted Banthers. With certain death seemingly approaching, Corvus tells Amaya that it has been the greatest honor to serve under her. As Amaya prepares to make her last stand, she remembers what Kazi said about the book drop and uses it to shelter herself and Corvus from the corrupted Banthers.

### Sea Legs

Amaya and the limping Corvus are able to reach the Sunfire Elf camp where they reunite with Gren and Kazi. Amaya gives Gren a big hug before she learns about Kim'dael's attack that resulted in the deaths of several guards and Janai's abduction. The news almost causes Amaya to collapse with shock.

### Finnegrin's Wake

Amaya is inside the royal tent when Corvus reports to her, Gren, and Kazi that no one in the entire camp was able to find a single trace of Janai's abductor. Amaya and Gren tell Corvus to rest and heal when they heard a commotion outside of the tent, which turns out to be the other Sunfire Elves branding Pharos as a traitor.

Pharos presents Karim's ultimatum to Amaya, Gren, and the Six Horns: Janai will be safely returned to the camp if Miyana delivers the Sun Seed to him. Amaya and Gren refuse since Janai values the Sun Seed, the future of her people, more than her own life. Pharos adds that Karim will have Janai killed if Amaya continues to make her choice clear.

Amaya is determined to not allow Karim win the conflict, which prompts her to rescue Janai by disguising herself as Miyana and delivers a tied up Pharos back to the banished prince on a horse. Amaya evades the fireballs Karim conjured with "Missilem Ignem" and succeeds in hitting his face with her mask and her fist. Kim'dael then brings Janai out to prevent Amaya from killing Karim. When Karim decides to kill Janai so that he can become the Sunfire King and possess the power to free Kim'dael, Amaya responds by scarring his left eye with Janai's sword and threatens to kill him. The skirmish ends with Karim, Pharos, and Kim'dael escaping, which allows Amaya and Janai to reunite with an embrace.

### Infantis Sanguine

Amaya and Janai return to the Sunfire Elf camp where they find themselves confused by the despondent looks that Kazi, Corvus, and Gren are giving them. When Janai asks if there is something wrong, Corvus reveals to everyone that Miyana had betrayed Janai and defected to Karim's side.

Later that night, Amaya gives the weeping Janai a comforting hug after the latter learned that Aaravos swallowed her great-grandmother Aditi.
