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 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.

The Founding of the N.O.A
A Year went by and, a few Nebulights found their way to the islands, including his brørstatèns Issac. Anik II has thus far lived a simple peaceful lifestyle. Anik II did not mind being amongst the people, tilling the ground, and seeing the bounty of his work. One day, the townspeople begin to gather, staring at a smoke-filled sky. As Anik II came to see what was happening, he heard a sudden scream from the docks. Now frightened, people scatted, some ran to their houses, and some ran to the dock. Anik II ran to the docks to see a Yimme ship on fire, and a few crew members rowing toward them. He sent a guard to get his sword, yet by the time the soldier came back, he noticed the men were mostly injured. Residence & soldiers began to help aid those who were hurt. One of the men informed Anik II that they had lost the front and that there were too many of them… and that our allies failed to assist! And that evacuation was at this point necessary for Anik II and his townspeople. He came across a man known as MILKMAN500, from the town of Odruda, who without question took all the Nebulight people in for refuge. Over the next few years MILKMAN500 practically took Anik II under his guidance and the NOA Nebula & Odrůda Alliance was eventually formed.

The False Priest
A month after the Evacuation

A day had come when Anik & Isaac were making sure that every Nebulight known had made it to Odrůda safely. As they were talking amongst themselves, they heard a familiar voice, what sounded like their mother, ''“Anik Jr ... Isaac is that you?". A pause. "It is! My Boys!”''

Many nights at the Polar bear Den, they told her of their endeavors. How they were establishing a new home front - taking refuge in Odrůda - during a war against Bardonia. Anik told her how much Milkman500 taught them over the years. Odrůda was growing rapidly, active with farming, brewing, and building. A memorial was built for his father alongside the Scholars district. He granted his mother the Scholars District and appointed her the town’s Grand Librarian. She would always express how much she missed the Grand Athenaeum in Sybriealtha and how she had a dream to have her very own.

Meanwhile, Milkman500 had many foreign affairs to deal with, which required him to be absent. Before his departure, he decided to put Anik Jr and the regent Tsunemi in charge of the town during his absence.

One day, Anik met a monk of the Aruqian Faith (worshipers of Bamboo), named Grasswalks. Since the Nebulight people did not have a religion that was practiced at the time, Anik allowed him to live in Odrůda. The people had the freedom to do as they chose. During a meeting with his mother & Grasswalks, they had agreed to allow her Athenaeum to be a shared space for the scholars of Grasswalks, as well as, have a sacred space to worship and pray. Anik knew that his mother would take the offer of sharing her land with Grasswalks since she had lost her connection with her tribe.

As the war had calmed against Bardonia, Anik decided to take his mother to visit the city of Kèstramøre. They spoke of one day possibly returning - after completing the tasks they set in Odrůda. Later that night Anik was walking down the road heading to the Athenaeum to fetch his mother for supper. A delicious meal was prepared by Chazur, owner of the Polar Bear Den. Now in front of the town's main center, the tower, the new town's priest appeared from the alleyway alongside some of his followers pulled out their swords, and walked out of the alleyway towards Anik. Anik thought the monks were joking because they did not believe in fighting, laughing and Anik said, “Oh hello have you come to gift me your sword?”. A moment of silence filled the air before one of his men lunged at Anik. Anik, dodging the attack now realized that they were trying to kill him, outnumbered he yelled for help. Luckily, Bella, his mother came around the corner, and she began to help Anik fight them. Meanwhile, the townspeople wondered why Anik and Bella had not arrived yet. The townspeople and guards rushed out of the bar at the sound of fighting in street & immediately went to aid them. During the chaos, Anik was injured. The battle continued till dawn when Grasswalks & his men were pushed out of town & with the death of some of his followers the battle was over. Another failed attempt to assassinate the Køníøga (royal family). Milkman500 had now returned from his travels. Over the next few days, letters began to pour in from the Monk Grasswalks, threatening to return with many to complete what they had started. Anik and Milkman500 ordered that the townspeople prepared for the worst. One night, on patrol one of Aniks' Guards, saw a man in flaming armor enchanted to an unimaginable strength charging at the town. Bells rang and Anik's mother was forced to her chambers temporarily to wait out the danger. This one-man killed a quarter of the townspeople and half of the towns guard alone. He left leaving the town in flames. The remaining townspeople rushed to put out the fires as fast as they could. As well as, aiding those who were injured. Later, Issac & Anik woke their mother, telling her they must leave to keep the people of Odrůda safe, & to avoid any more disaster.
