Spoiler for Hmmm....:

Nice idea. But, in your fic, will Alicia be a Valkyria as well?

You could have Selvaria and Welkin interact for this first part. (She stays for a period of time.) She then suddenly vanishes in the middle of the night. Weeks later, again hungry, cold and alone, she stumbles upon a young prince, mourning for his mother, and vowing revenge for his loss in status. This second chance encounter would ensure that her fate would be tied to the two boys who saved her at different times. It also makes Max have that much less of a hold on Selvaria.
