Twenty years later, she awakened the Golden Dragon bloodline, returned home to find her mother, exposed the truth, stripped Leora of power, exiled Marcus, and became Queen of Ashridge. Leora made a deal with dark sorcerer Morgaine, sparking war and taking Kaelen hostage. Elian awakened Dragon God power, defeated the dark magic, saved her parents, and was ultimately crowned Sovereign of the continent.
