I think I just might have it out for Kerrington’s dad.
In Lily’s original universe, where Lily is a budding White Mage, Rowan Kerrington, the legendary hero and traveling Monk, has disappeared. Everyone but Gloribel- his faithful wife and Lily’s loving mother- believe him to be dead, fallen to the dragon kingdom he was fighting.
The next universe would be when I move him to Asterismos and well…. Rowan was murdered in this universe.
haha yeah…
The next and last (so far) would be Dulcedomum, where Gloribel is a Redstone guardian, but fell in love with Rowan and decided to marry him and protect her little Lily herself. HOWEVER, she never quite revealed the magical side of her to Rowan - trying to find the ‘right time’ to tell him, since he was a highly superstitious man. That time never came and Rowan and Lily were attacked by shadows, and Gloribel had to reveal herself or risk losing her family. She saved them- not without a few injuries- and Rowan… did not handle the news about magic well at all, going crazy and calling his wife a demon and screaming about being drafted into a demon war.
Rowan ended up having to get his memory of his family erased and Gloribel was heart broken. She choose however to keep his name as her own as she never got the chance to truly divorce him and never wanted to, still loving him to this day.
