Ellus

Ellus is a ship between Rufus Jordonne and Ellyn Greene in Defenders of Westria.

Pre-Engagement
Ellyn and Rufus initially bonded after going for a stroll, which led them directly into a Rebel bomb celebration, at which Ellyn was injured, and Rufus had to carry her. Shortly after her recovery, the two went to the gardens, yet Bob the Birb's something-greats grandson, Jim, pecked Rufus' eye out, and caused chaos. Afterwards, as the two were in the med bay, an assassin came and made an attempt at Ellyn's life, though Rufus bravely took the thrown knife in his chest, and made a recovery. Around this time, the two had come very close to kissing at several points, but were interrupted due to Luke and Claria, Garreth, Antonio, and Hazel, maybe more people as well.

Finally, the two first kissed after Ellyn was kidnapped and Rufus rescued her. However, Antonio showed up too, and the three escaped to find the castle aflame and Luke and Claria dead. Ellyn was devastated by her parents' death, and parted to go back home with her brother for awhile, yet the two still wrote. Eventually, the siblings returned to the palace. Shortly afterwards, Rufus was the next to be kidnapped, half-killed, and then his memories were wiped. Ellyn had a very hard time with this, as she was recently orphaned, and her brother had the same treatment. She came across Rufus in the base, and was heartbroken. Eventually, at the mass funeral, Rufus came back to life, yet remained memoryless. Ellyn stayed by his side, and he was quite confused as to why. Then, one day while he was asleep, Ellyn kissed him, which confused him even further, yet a few minutes later, his memories returned and the two had a joyous reunion.

Engagement
One day, Rufus and Ellyn went for a horseback ride, that led them to a location in the palace gardens, more specifically, a rose arbor which formed a nook suitable for proposal. Rufus proposed with a beautiful rose gold ring in a shape of a rose, Ellyn's favorite flower. The two were then engaged, and raced with Della back to the palace to tell of the news. However, things kinda got misty from there, as the climax of DOW came to be, and Rufus and Ellyn had more important things to worry about.

Marriage and Children
Well this has yet to be RPed... Rufus and Ellyn will eventually have seven children: Triplets Luke, Angelica, and Claria, Adair, Hazel, Elizabeth, and Gabriella. The two will live on a horse farm with roses, a nod to their engagement. They also chose to name all seven of their children after notable figures in the lives of each, more specifically Ellyn's deceased parents and aunt, Rufus' deceased aunt who helped save Garreth, Rufus' angelic little sister, Margie Liz, Antonio's girlfriend and future wife I assume, and finally, Rufus' great-great aunt, Gabriella Jordonne.
