Elara was sitting with infant Lotor and Melenor during a ball Alfor put together on Altea. Right now Melenor is 11 weeks pregnant and Elara is 8 weeks pregnant. Zarkon and Alfor were nowhere to be seen. Elara didn't think much of it. Zarkon had been courting Elara for quite some time, they did in fact love each other, but Lotor was probably the happiest. Melenor and Elara were laughing about dumb things Alfor has done, when out of nowhere Alfor caming running towards the two women shouting like a mad man.

    "Elara! Zarkon broke a bone!" He screamed.

    "What?!" Elara yelped getting yanked by Alfor around the ball room, Melenor following with Lotor.

    "Zarkon what hap-  oh dear..." Elara gasped when she saw Zarkon down on one knee in front of her, without a broken bone. The entire ballroom got silent and then she saw Sendak, Blaytz, Gygran, and Trigel stand around, all smiling. She was internally screaming. Zarkon lightly took her left hand and held it.

    "You already know what's happening, I know, but please refrain from screaming your beautiful head off, bear with m-" Zarkon was cut off by Alfor.

    "Get on with it already Zarkon!" Alfor shouts, Melenor shushes him quickly.

    "Elara, you are the best thing to ever happen to me, and my son. You helped me get through so many difficult times, you care so much for everyone. You're beautiful, kind, a little scary at times, and my son loves and sees you as his mother, I'd be a fool to let you go. So now I ask." Zarkon then pulled out a beautiful ring, unlike anything Elara has ever seen, it had a large Galran diamond on it that could blind anyone who looked at it for too long. "Will you do me the honor of standing by my side as Empress of Daibazaal and as my wife?"

    "Yes! Of course I will!" Elara shouted happily, already crying. The crowds went wild as Zarkon slipped the ring on her finger and pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Helgara and Vorak were both crying. Lotor came waddling over and hugged his father and his soon to be step mother. Zarkon and Elara smiled down at him.

    "YES I WON THE MATCH MAKING GAME!" Sendak screamed, making the crowd explode in laughter.

    "AHA! The mean giant is finally getting married!" Alfor yelled. Melenor lovingly smiled at her bestie and cried. Zarkon, Elara, and Lotor couldn't be happier.

     "Well it looks like my little girl is getting married." Vorak said, him and Helgara approaching Zarkon and Elara.

      "Good luck Zarkon." Sendak jokes, his sister glare at him.

       "But, if you hurt her, you won't live to the light of day ever again. I have no problem risking prison, or the death penalty." Vorak said seriously.

        "You're joking right?" Elara asked a little worried.

        "Nope." Vorak replied.

        "Alright then..." Zarkon said, a little nervous. Just got engaged, and he's already somewhat scared of his soon to be father in-law. A lot was about to happen. Maybe more than a lot...
