"Did Dad ever tell you that you were protected somehow? Did he ever give you any other artefact like that necklace he told you to give me?"
When Jason asked this, Mira finally seemed to come to a realization, and Jason watched as she brought up her wedding ring with a wide, loving smile on her face. The ring was a golden band with an intricate carving of a crown on it, and Jason couldn't remember a single time since the day he was born that his mother had ever taken it off.
"When your father married me, he told me that this was a special ring from his family's treasury. It's a symbol of our family, and it also has the family's protection tied into it. He told me to have it on me at all times, and I've never had any problems since I started wearing it."
Mira had the most loving smile Jason had ever seen as she stroked the ring softly. Jason could tell without a doubt that his mother still loved his father just as much as the day they first met.
