Maedar was a term lost to the ages... In Tycondrius displaying his ability, Ariadne knew he was a male of the medusa bloodline.
The Priestess cast one of her divine healing spells to heal her husband. It was somewhat foolish of her, as her mana reserves were even lower than his. She quickly descended into an agonized coughing fit after doing so...
Tycon steadied himself, crossing his arms and trying to convince himself that the pounding in his head would eventually go away... "Priestess Ariadne... does my bloodline change your opinion of me?"
Ariadne did not look up as she embraced her sleeping husband, pressing her face to his chest... "I... never... would have expected... the reasonin' behind the color of your eyes."
Tycon surmised that the answer was yes. The Priestess' opinion of him had changed drastically.
