Korvaelis Dahshida
Korvaelis thought about the night of the Black Wedding often. It was hard not to think about it sometimes. The event was a traumatic experience not only for him alone but for an entire nation. A nation that collectively experienced death and violence together. From time to time, that night played in his head and the thought of something happening to Aki—to any of his children— was becoming overwhelming. Korvaelis knew he had to sharpen his own skills, it was time to learn how to protect his own. In the meantime, he began strengthening his own relationship with the Dahshida household. Since the incident, the Great House has shown an immense amount of support to their own people as well. So it has become important to the lord to continue building his relationship with them. Unfortunately, Akiba Dahshida somewhat isolated his home from his family, building it a little out of the way of Yorunorei. So it’s a hassle visiting the family’s estate. Especially since it’s hidden within the mountains and Korvaelis did not have any flight transportation.
He learned to get around anyway.
Some time ago, Korvaelis used the Black Wedding as an excuse to leave Aki with his immediate family for a year. It was a confusing year for the young Avialae and his caretaker and soon Korvaelis was receiving requests to visit Yorunorei more often than in the past. Aki didn’t want to express his longing to go back home, however, it was obvious. The widower would quietly have lunch with Aki or sip tea during the boy’s training sessions whenever he’d visit. The two didn’t necessarily always interact and Korvaelis’ presence alone would suffice. Soon they’d reunite under the same roof, a joyous day for sure too, but Korvaelis was made aware of the balance Aki needed in his life. Especially at such a crucial age.
Taking his parenting role a lot more seriously, Korvaelis marked specific days on his calendar to take Aki into Yorunorei. He started to familiarize himself with the estate and took note of certain Avialae. Aki’s uncles, cousins, and even his grandfather could not be available to him at all times to help mentor him. So Korvaelis took it upon himself to find men who could make up for their absence.
Today, Korvaelis found a Skyrider that had time. The lord interacted with Skyriders most, he knew a good portion of the Icewing riders from passing conversation or personal visits to check on certain Icewing Eagles he’s healed in the past. It didn’t take too much convincing since most felt honored to look after Aki and teach him a thing or two. Many looked up to the Dahshida family and he could tell there was a lot of respect for the Daizoku as well as his family.
“He said he’d meet us here,” Korvaelis told the large child as he cradled a sleeping baby. The two of them approached the training grounds.
“I don’t see him.” Aki looked around frantically for his new mentor. “You sure…family!”
Aki pointed out a small group approaching the training grounds too. Korvaelis could make out a couple of Avialae that were somewhat small, so he assumed they were children. He didn’t even see the petite human woman until they grew nearer.
