For more than five years since Kyran was forced to leave his clan behind, he made decisions and even acted on them that he end up regretting.
One of Kyran's most regretted decisions was taking Byron as his Sigil. Not because the latter was not helpful but simply because his excessive admiration and loyalty pissed him off.
Another one he regretted was listening to Nolan's absurd ideas which he ended up acting recklessly. Then again, if not for that he would not have made contact with the Conclave and the path he would be treading right now would be different.
The people he met would probably be different too.
Kyran would not have met Zephyr and Cyneah. Two of the people he never regretted taking under his wings.
Then again, there was a saying that people would meet the ones they were meant to. Even if he had not made contact with the Conclave, he might eventually meet the two of them.
