birthstone: emerald, stone of money, mental clarity, love, protection
varan never really imagined that he'd leave his beloved ocean, but he was struck by wanderlust upon reaching adulthood. so, armed with everything he'd learned, he decided to do what he'd always done: protect people. he fell in love with the world beyond the ocean: the people, the sights, the colors, even though nothing compared to his beloved home.
but he found happiness nonetheless, and though he had always planned to return home, he found himself putting off his return, wanting to explore more of the world, craving new experiences. and it's a good thing he did, for if he hadn't, he might not have met the love of his life.
varan never saw himself falling in love. it wasn't even that he didn't want to, but his heart had, since the moment of his birth, belonged to the ocean. and yet when he came across a lost girl, she compelled him from the first breath. she maddened him and frustrated him—but above all, she made him love her.
he knew early on that she had a secret, but he didn't push her, believing that she'd tell him when she was ready. and eventually, she did. knowing didn't change anything for him though, and he still loved her as much as he always had. he knew who she was; he had always known exactly who she was, and he loved her for that. it was with joy that the two began their lives together. though they faced pushback, they were willing to overcome anything if it meant they could be together.
varan had never seen himself getting married, but for the girl with eyes more beautiful than the sea, he would do anything. soon after their marriage, their children were born, and varan once again felt a new love he'd never known.
