Korvaelis Dahshida
There will always be a bittersweet reminder of Akiba Dahshida in Korvaelis’s everyday life. The home that was redesigned and turned into the deceased Avialae’s business was a constant reminder for Korvaelis. The Dahshida lord was dead, but his soul lingered in the home that was his dream and own doing. From the dark wood of the home’s walls to the concrete ground of the barn that he solidified, fragments of him were implemented throughout it all. There was also the child, Aki Dahshida, who was the spitting image of his father. Akiba’s blood pumped through the child’s veins. According to others, he even behaved like his father too. But the half-Druskai wasn’t so sure.
No matter his relationship with Akiba, Korvaelis kept a few reminders of the lord’s generosity close to his heart like everything else surrounding him wasn’t enough. The young man doesn’t wear it often, nevertheless, he keeps his engagement ring close by. It’s a signet ring if he’s being honest with himself, a gold ring with a few small gems that circle his initials while also including the Dahshida’s. The ring was surely a surprise and a creative way for him to announce their union.
Soon after their wedding and during their intimate moments, Akiba would give him a longbow made of ivory wood. The Dahshida’s emblem was carved into it, and he wasn’t sure if it was allowed, but on that same emblem were the first letters of their name coupled together. Korvaelis remembers thinking it was such a childish gesture; a longbow with their initials on it. But the thought was enough to make him feel grateful. The Avialae lord promised to teach him how to use it someday. He died before he could go through with the promise. So the longbow collected dust on a shelf in the house until today.
Instead of cherishing it, Korvaelis thought best he'd learn to use it. He raised hunting dogs. Still, he had never actually done any hunting himself. Korvaelis thought he owed it to the hunting dogs to learn so that he could better train them. Most importantly, the blue man owed it to his spouse to learn how to properly use the bow he bought so that they had something to bond over.
Korvaelis has never really held a weapon. Ever. The Grey Falcon Archery was known for selling bows and arrows, but he could’ve sworn they had somewhere for people to practice as well. Korvaelis just needed to build up the courage to walk in there, buy some arrows and get some targeting practice.
That’s all. Right?
