While walking towards the nozvan Estate,
"Young master, your older brother Alvaz and The Lord have called for you," the butler informed Kairos
Kairos acknowledged with a nod and observed his butler, Charles, who appeared to be an unassuming individual with black hair and black eyes.
Charlos sported a well-groomed white beard and wore a pair of thin black glasses with a small golden chain attached to the handle.
However unassuming he seemed though knew that he was a 4th circle magician, chosen as a guardian by his father.
Yes, He was told his caretaker has gone taking a break of some sort but the reality was. His father has assigned this man to protect him. And his caretaker was forcefully send to a vacation.
After half an hour of walking through the bustling city of Erys,they arrived at the family residence. It was in the middle of the city.
Passing through the beautiful garden and the training ground where guards were practicing, the Nozvan family technique.
they finally reached the imposing gate.The guards bowed towards kairos, opening the gate for him.
Kairos felt a bit nostalgic, walking through the corridors and remembering his time here.
Reaching the central hall, Kairos saw his elder brother, Alvaz, gripping the hilt of his twin blades while gazing at the firewood.
Taking a deep breath, as Lukas entered the hall his brother noticed and turned around looking at him.
Alvaz steely gaze met kairos' perpetually unreadable expression, as Alvaz remarked with a curt nod,
"You're late,"
"I had to finalize some matters," A
Kairos replied, maintaining eye contact.
Charlos discreetly stepped aside, giving the brothers a moment.
Saying that he left the place.Charlos adjusted his thin black glasses and spoke again, his eyes briefly flicking to the door Alvaz had left through. "Your brother may not show it, but he is concerned for you."
Kairos let out a small, almost imperceptible sigh. "Alvaz has always been more about actions than words. He doesn't need to say it."
That's really true. First he thought his older brother hates him. But as time passes he realized it wasn't the case it was the opposite. His older brother adores him a lot. Keeping him safe from the shadows whenever he comes back from the missions from the Star Tower association.
The association that hires Cadets of the Academies for missons at Frontlines to inner conflicts between the Empires.They are the main sources of power and the reason of peace within this place.
Kairos sighed, before heading upstairs on his mother's office.
Reaching the intricately carved wooden door, Kairos knocked softly. A gentle voice responded from within. "Come in."
Pushing open the door, he was greeted by the sight of his mother, Valerie Nozvan, seated at her large wooden desk. Her red hair, a vibrant cascade of fire, caught the light streaming through the tall windows. Her sharp red eyes softened as they landed on Kairos, a loving smile spreading across her face.
Beside her was his father standing beside her looking at him.
" You will be leaving soon?" she asked.
Kairos nodded. Yes it was scheduled for him to depart from this place and start heading towards the owsdin academy.
"It feels like only yesterday you were running around this estate with your wooden sword" sighing realizing her son about to leave her.
Being a baron wasn't easy for her. Still she managed and within the tight schedule tried her best to accompany her little son as much she could.
Valerie's smile wavered for a moment, but she composed herself quickly. "You've grown so much, Kairos. You'll do well at the academy. Just remember, you always have a home here."
His father, stepped forward, "The academy will test you, but I have faith in your abilities,"
Kairos had weird feeling when he heard that, ofcourse he believes in him! They dueled a lot of times after that incident but not that extreme anymore.
The conversation contiuned as both of his parents started giving advices.what to do and what to not. Kairos already know better then them to pracsice in terms of experience still he didn't felt annoyed. He listened to them all. And after a half an hour of conversation.
Kairos returned to his room. Closing the door quietly, reaching towards underneath the bed.
And pull out a small bag made of Ursak skins.
Kairos sighed while checking at items. He's schedule was to leave for the academy a week from now.
But Kairos had different plans. He checked the smoke bombs, The paralysis poison tubes, the wand that his mother gave him, And one week worth of dried up meat.
And lastly Kairos grabbed the last item, It was a small box made of metal. Kairos slowly opened it, as light of slowly peeked out from the gaps as he gradually opens.
It was a small, Green seed glowing with dim green light. It was the seed of the world tree of veronia Forest of Elvin kingdom.
And it was also the thing, That caused the downfall of Dravenhart family or to say the very seed that destryoed his Father's Family, Lucian Dravenhart.
