Malchus and Ullawren honestly kind of break my heart

Malchus was a widower. He lost his wife several years prior to meeting the young queen, and they were far more compatible than they expected. While Malchus resided in Ulla’s palace, they gave in to their emotions, despite Ullawren being engaged, but not in love with her fiance. So when she contacts Malchus to tell him she’s announced her pregnancy and the dissolving of her engagement, he is more than supportive, and they welcome their son together, despite their kingdoms being on opposite sides of the world. Malchus stays in contact with Ullawren, always carrying a fondness for her, and he adores his son; even though it’s through Malchus that Rinwey adopts his stance against Shapeshifters.

When Malchus goes to either pick up or drop off Rinwey, he always makes sure to spare time for Ullawren.

מְלוֹךְ עַל הָעוֹלָם כֻּלּוֹ בִּכְבוֹדֶךָ. . . וְיֹאמַר כֹּל אֲשֶׁר נְשָׁמָה בְאַפּוֹ ה’ אֱלֹקֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֶלֶךְ וּמַלְכוּתוֹ בַּכֹּל מָשָׁלָה (תפילות ראש השנה)“REIGN OVER THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IN YOUR GLORY… AND LET EVERYTHING WITH A SOUL IN ITS NOSTRILS PROCLAIM, ‘G-D, THE L-RD OF ISRAEL, IS KING, AND HIS KINGSHIP RULES OVER EVERYTHING.” (ROSH HASHANA LITURGY) 

The two days of Rosh Hashanah are “Days of Awe”, called so for the profound awe inspired by our awareness of the “coronation” of the King of Kings that is unfolding during these days, in which we each personally participate. The personal petition of each one of us that G-d be our king is what brings about G-d’s coronation as “King of the universe” on Rosh Hashanah, thus Rosh Hashanah renews our personal union with G-d, our connection with G-d as individuals, not merely as part of the community as a whole.

(That is why notwithstanding the fact that Rosh Hashanah ushers in the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, the Ten Days of Return, no confession of sin or supplications for forgiveness are said during Rosh Hashanah. The experience of oneness with the Almighty that is evoked by the coronation so permeates our heart and mind, that however great the sorrow over the deeds of the past may be, it is completely dissolved in the overwhelming feeling of awe and personal union with G-d and the inevitable consequence thereof—the readiness and longing to obey the commandments of the King.)

Accordingly, contrary to the common practice of directing the inspiration of Rosh Hashana toward global issues and problems that demand change mostly on the part of others, we must direct the awe inspired in these Days of Awe toward ourselves and our personal relationship with G-d in our mundane lives.

This idea is expressed in the details prescribed for the mitzvah of Sounding the Shofar, the unique mitzvah of Rosh Hashanah. This commandment does not prescribe the use of an ensemble of instruments, but only one, and not a sophisticated instrument producing extraordinary musical compositions, but a plain horn of an animal, from which “all sounds are acceptable” (Talmud, Rosh Hashana 27b). The single, simple Shofar emphasizes that the focus of Rosh Hashanah should be, first and foremost, on the individual, and to the tune of introducing sanctity even into our ordinary daily lives.
