Rayla's binding, a magical wrist ribbon, was removed when the newly hatched Dragon Prince, Zym, bit it off her wrist. This crucial act saved her hand from being severed.
The "binding" was a magical wrist ribbon worn by Rayla, a Moonshadow Elf. This enchanted ribbon served as a grim testament to her oath, intended to automatically sever her hand if she failed to complete her mission, particularly her part in protecting the Dragon Prince egg.
The opportunity for the binding's removal arose after a pivotal event: the successful hatching of the Dragon Prince egg. This miraculous hatching was achieved by Callum, who, by unleashing a powerful storm inside his Sky Primal Stone, brought forth the infant dragon, Azymondias, affectionately nicknamed Zym by Ezran.
Upon hatching, Zym instinctively interacted with Rayla. In a critical moment of intervention, the tiny Dragon Prince bit off the restrictive wrist ribbon. This action prevented the binding from fulfilling its dark purpose and ensured Rayla retained her hand, allowing her to continue her journey alongside Zym and Ezran.
Key Elements of the Binding's Removal:
- The Binding: A magical wrist ribbon worn by Rayla, signifying a severe consequence for mission failure.
- The Threat: The ribbon was designed to automatically sever Rayla's hand as a penalty.
- The Catalyst: The hatching of the Dragon Prince egg, Azymondias (Zym), which Callum helped achieve.
- The Deliverer: Zym, the newly hatched Dragon Prince, was the one who directly removed the binding.
- The Action: Zym bit off the wrist ribbon, saving Rayla's hand from its grim fate.
