In the ancient culture of the Elves, it was never uncommon for two to be promised into marriage, even at a young age, even so young as toddlers. Not all still go by this tradition, but some do, especially the wealthier families who wish to keep noble, untainted blood in their line. Often, the two promised individuals won’t even meet each other until the date set for their wedding, or perhaps a few weeks before during preparations. It causes for uncomfortable, formal relationships a lot of the time, though some get lucky and end up being happy in the end.

Thus it was with two certain young people. They were promised to each other from the time the younger of them drew their first breath. They met once as toddlers, though it was not expected that either would remember this event. All that mattered was how, in just a few decades, they would form a hard-to-break pact between the two families, whether or not this pulled them away from true happiness.

{{~*Haha that sounded sadder than I was trying to make it sound but oh well. That’s basic plot. Doesn’t need to be awesomely worded I guess.
Oh and I hate the title by the way, makes me think of Star Wars. If you have a better one, let me know. XD*~}}
