Tethys, Satyr's Bride

Lore[]

Never had she been desired so intensely, nor had anyone told her of a love so vehement. Tethys, however, had been captivated by the great satyr king, seeing his fearsome form only as endearing. Handing the ring to her, he whispered words of passion into her ear. His warm hand wrapped around her waist, and Tethys held his neck in her arms. Both swore to each other than they would stay together until the day they died.
