Anik Kael Cávãlcánty II

Anik Kael Cávãlcánty, was born in the Kingdom of L’Bela. A Nation from a Land unknown to Rathnir. Living in the land for 14 years, and spending most of his time learning from his father. Gaining the knowledge to lead his nation, and to one day fulfill his fathers dream.

The Kèstramøre
Kèstramøre is the day of the appointment.

A day where a young prince is given his rights and training to become the next reigning heir as Seødøn.

At the first light of dawn, Anik II’s day began with a knock at his chamber door. The voice of his butler says “Sir, it is time you get ready for Kèstramøre, may I come in?” Anik too deep in his slumber, the butler knocks again and again, harder, and louder than before. After a few minutes, the young prince awakens. Slow to rise, he finally allows him to enter with a white and red outfit adorned with golden buttons. Another servant follows behind with a tray of various accessories. His look is complete after the royal shoe-shiner buffs the last straps on his boots – made with the finest leather of L’bela. As all the servants leave, Anik II, makes his way to his window with excitement to see everyone preparing for the festivities. He looks down at the courtyard only to see his youngest brørstatèn Raelyn Finn sneaking back into the castle with pockets & hands full of cookies.

As Anik II enters the dining hall, his eyes widen to see a delicious spread of pastries, freshly harvest juices, and trays of the fullest breakfast sausages the land could offer.

Guided to a chair made of spruce wood and red velvet, he sits next to his grandfather, the high chieftain Cambria, and brørstatèns Issac & Raelyn, as they are given the agenda of events and expectations by the royal advisor. Moments later, a roar of clapping, cheering, and chanting “Anik Søm stil føniks!” (“Rise like the Phoenix”), is heard as the prince is escorted on the stage. Many very well-dressed high-ranking officials were present and seated behind where the young men were placed.

Once seated, the Seødøn and his Queen walk onto the stage, and the townspeople get louder. The young prince Anik II admires his father’s demeanor as he calms the crowd, effortlessly gaining their attention to begin the ceremony. As Seødøn Anik I begins his address to the kingdom, prince Anik II is distracted by a little bluebird swooping over the crowd. Nudged by his grandfather, he snaps out of his blank daydream to notice his father holding out his hand to join him by his side. The cheers begin again, the second the young prince stands to his feet. In a blink of an eye, he hears the chieftain yell, “Seødøn…”, a shove, the words “Run!” as chaos broke out. Prince Anik II’s eyes connected with his grandfather as he was shot in the chest protecting the Seødøn. The bells of L’bela rang with vigor and soldiers ran to aid the people. The Seødøns’ guard began to rush the royal family through the halls of the castle. Prince Anik II could not see who was attacking yet was handed a sword in case they were separated.

Finally making it to the docks, a shield wall was formed as many people as possible from L’bela were boarding ships. You could hear flames blazing, the bashing of swords and shields by people fighting in the city, while sails were enchanted with swiftness.

Seconds after the ship began to depart, the shield wall fell, and many ships were set on fire. Standing on the quarterdeck Anik II looked at the burning city, the enemy men cheering. Their leader raised his sword pointing it directly at the prince’s eyes, the flag of Rownog waving in the background. As prince Anik II stared at that flag, he noticed the young leader resembled the face of the Unspoken tyrant from the “Rayna Nebula”, The War of Great Unity. Anger and hate flowed through his veins, knowing the rivalry of revenge has begun.

The Docks of Relmont
Early in the day the next morning, Issac and Anik II greet their mother and head to the captain’s quarters. Upon entering the room, the Seødøn announced to them that they would not be returning & would find new land up North where they would settle and re-establish themselves, a new home on new land. Anik II did not like the feeling of uncertainty that was ahead. Many were not aware that Seødøn Anik I had been injured during the attack. Although recovery was in good standings, he told Anik that he would one day lead the Nebulight people. He presented the prince with his sword wrapped in red silk. This sword was made on a small island off the coast of L'Bela, with the strongest enchants the land could offer, and on it engraved “ Ehre stil Seødøn's of Nebula (Glory to the Kings of Nebula)”. Anik II could feel his heart & eyes swell with emotions and tears. As young Anik II swore to his father that Nebula will live on no matter what, a shout from a guard was heard, “You there! Show some respect to the - ”. An eerie silence and another shout, “GET Down!”. An immense explosion boomed. His father’s crown hits him in the chest, and he was blown away gripping the sword.

After a blurry amount of time, Anik woke up on a log. Being woken up by the locals pulling him up on the dock, at the time things were blurry. A dark-haired man elegantly dressed in a dark pair of trousers, a cape (w/ red jewels), the deepest dark-red vest, and golden buttons, suddenly stood in front of him. Prince Anik II was surrounded by many speaking an unknown language, reached for his father’s sword, jumped up pointing the sword at this foreign man's face. His guards ready to attack, stop at the upright gesture of his hand. Re-sheathing their swords back in their Dagger Frogs, The man smiled, and placed his finger at the tip of the blade, giving a reassuring look that Anik II would be safe.

They allowed him to regain strength, giving him shelter, food & drink. One night, he decide it was time to move on. Gathering what he needed, he wandered north by foot and boat. He stumbled on a group of islands covered in ruins and decided to name the islands Kèstramøre in hopes the word of this island would attract any surviving Nebulights.
