Early Life

Born to King Zuurik Ûrlund and Queen Lesèa Ûrlund, Mèra was raised among the privileges and expectations of royalty. As a young Zelka (female High Valorèin), Mèra was known for her fiery temperament and curvaceous figure, symbolizing her noble heritage.

Mèra and Merik’s destinies intertwined through their Binding Ritual, a sacred act that telepathically merged their minds and unlocked their full potential. In this transformative moment, they became the Chosen Hero and Heroine, symbols of unity and hope for the Free Species.
