The past five years have been a rough one for the Magro family, with war looming in on every side and lurking behind every corner. In the midst of the warfare, Romolo and Lavinia took their children and spirited them away to the deepest forests, back into where the werewolves used to take residence before the law established their rights. There they lived for a whole year until the war ended. Romolo taught his children how to survive in the wilderness, and the children - especially the inseparable Silvio and Taddeo - loved to adventure in the woods despite warnings not to stray too far. At the end of a year, a roaming werewolf informed them that the war seems to have ended, with Queen Minerva on the winning side. The Magro family thus left their hideout gladly, returning to a society which has finally begun to settle down.

Just after the war ended, another baby boom began, and Lavinia was not exempt from it. While Romolo was worried sick that his wife would endure another painful pregnancy in her age, Lavinia managed to deliver a healthy son without much difficulty. Silvio and Taddeo were exhilarated to know that another cub will be joining them! The newborn was named Vittorio Arsenios, shamelessly parading the fact that they have won the war.

And now, just now, the Magro family seemed to finally enter into a form of stability themselves - and more than just stability, for it was a stably happy life they seem to finally reach. Romolo once again found a job to do with his distinct style of speech, and Lavinia enjoyed her time with her children. Dora, now grown into a young maiden and maturing nicely, began studying dress-making, in her hopes of entering royal service one day. She was apparently quite talented, even as a teenager, and she'd pay great attention to her matron's examples. Silvio and Taddeo are still as inseparable as ever - "two sides of a coin", as Romolo said, with the reasoning being that they are very different, but stick together nonetheless. Candida's eyes have turned violet, and she seemed to inherit a great deal of her mother's magical blood, seemingly also having traits of healer magic in her. Lea is also growing nicely, imitating Candida in every little thing she does and doting on her little "Torio". Their life begun to settle down into an idyllic, peaceful existence for the first time in years. All is well.
