=== Enlistment and Shiekuu Trials ===

At 22 [[Lethurèan Calendar|Lethurèan years]] (36 Tèran years), Merik enlisted in the [[First Valorèin Royal Army]], inspired by his family’s military legacy. The recruiter that inspired his enlistment spoke of the call to defend [[Ûblai]] and those he loved from the [[Malisik Horde]]. He spoke of the glory to his name and the place he would take in the [[It'slémwé|Lethurèan Heaven]]. His enlistment distressed [[Mèra Ûrlek Teslek|Princess Mèra]] greatly. He had proclaimed his love for her. The shock of him leaving so soon after his confession of love disturbed her greatly. She explained to Merik that if he were to die at war she would not have the will to carry on. She pleaded for him to stay and reconsider, but to no avail.

Upon the moment of departure, [[Mèra Ûrlek Teslek|Princess Mèra]] gave Merik a kiss so passionate that he almost considered not leaving. This is significant as touching, kissing, or even holding hands with a courter is against moral code in [[Valorèin]] culture.
