Winter 57, 498 AV
The manor was quiet. The sun was just barely rising into the sky, the first morning light shining on the rather oversized home of the Avain family. This was the prime time to work if you were Knix, mother of four, slaving away in her own workshop on enchanted craft for Alvadas. Though her work was not the only thing on her mind, she needed an answer, a solution, to the problem at hand. Through the night she had been thinking of what ‘could be wrong’ with her youngest son. Why couldn’t he, despite all the families’ efforts, learn some kind of magic? This was troublesome for her because they, the family, made most of their money selling and loaning their magical talents to the Triad and doing tasks that they are assigned. If Kinne can’t do magic then what can he do, kickbox for a living? She shook her head, she didn’t think so. So, she decided that she was going to teach, or try to, him a magic that none her children have learned yet. Her own art and what she was good at Magecraft. If he couldn’t learn even that, then she doesn’t know what to do with him. Hopefully make enough money so he doesn’t have to work a day in his life. She laughed at that thought.
Going out of her workspace she would slowly make her way towards Kinneas’ room. Finding her way there through almost the maze of passages she smiled softly at the door before opening it quietly and letting herself in. Walking up to his bedside she admired him and how he slept, his long hair making him all the cuter in her eyes. He was so peaceful, but money and ensuring a future for her son was far more important than sleep. ”Kinne,” she said softly, ”Kinne, dear, wake up.” she spoke to him laying a hand on him to softly stroke his hair behind one of his ears, ”Kinneas.” she said giving the boy a light shake, ”Common.” she laughed.
