Kyreg: Oh, Callum will struggle with a few f the Arcanum. Yes, I did watch Avatar, th Legend of Aang and how he did struggle with learning Earth. However, Callum will have trouble with both the Star and Ocean Arcanum of which there is only one way to connect to them as opposed to the Earth and Sun Arcanum.

Pabs117: Nar, Ashrune doesn't mean anything yet, if you want, you can give it a meaning and inform me. Are, Aldua belongs to Purple-Eyes Dragon who let me use her and the race she's part.

Purple-Eyes Dragon: Oh yes, I did because after rewriting the last chapter, I realised that, for the race I created for the final part of the Archmage trilogy, which won't be around till this one and the sequel are done, will need a counter. But there have been hints to them such as the ice and The Dark War.


Kolvar


Lux Aurea was silent that morning, or as close to silent as you could get for Kolvar as he made his way down the streets. He remained silent as he listed off all the things he had to do today; discover who Flardryn's new apprentice is, learn who the new Dragonguard recruits are, discover what Janai plans to do next with the humans of Katolis and lastly, he had to find a weakness in Janai's leadership structure in order to gain the allegiance of other Sunfire Elves.

He knew his mission well, Eletha has tasked him with it, and he wouldn't fail. His loyalty was well placed. But he couldn't help but let his thoughts wonder off into the distance, to Malgath and his recent behaviour. Ever since his talk with Rayla at the Storm Spire, he'd been acting differently.

While it wouldn't have bothered him, it did. And that was what concerned him. If Malgath betrayed them to get in good with the last living member of his family again, even after they had betrayed him. It'd put a target upon his back. A target that Kolvar would find himself facing off against.

Not to say that Kolvar wasn't afraid. He was positive that he could beat Malgath in a fair fight, it was the mysteriousness behind Malgath that worried him. He may be stubborn, but that didn't mean he wouldn't turn on others to get what he truly desired, love and family.

Shaking his thoughts aside, Kolvar came to a stop before the training arena, his eyes glanced over the court, he spotted Rayla standing upon the side, two other's stood at the centre, his eyes glanced over Ahshala briefly, he hated her so much. But the other, now that was a remarkable sight.

"So, they survived The Dark War." He muttered below his breath, his gaze resting upon Aldua. He was intrigued, but also slightly worried, for if the legends about the Khothori were correct, they had great strength and honour. And a deep connection with both humans, Elves and dragons. This could prove an issue to Eletha's plans.

Knowing the two newest recruits, he quickly left to find Flardryn and his apprentice. Perhaps his cousin could be useful to some degree.


Kolvar found his cousin within another arena, it soon noticed at Callum was there, and he'd no doubt connected to Sun Arcanum if he's heritage was anything to go by. "Kolvar, my cousin. I haven't seen you in a while." Flardryn greeted with his joyful voice.

It was the one thing that made Kolvar jealous of his cousin, while he'd grown up in a serious, loyal household, his cousin had been given the privilege of a joyous and happy life with jokes and pranks played upon one another. "Flardryn, I see you've picked up this animal spawn as your new pet." He replied bitterly, walking into the arena as he eyed Callum with great mistrust.

Flardryn shook his head. He could never understand why his cousin was so out of nature, he didn't have the necessary traits needed to become a mage like the rest of the family which might've lead to him becoming bitter at the world. "Cousin, why would speak such trash about Arathorn's son?" He questioned, watching as Kolvar narrowed his eyes.

"Not everyone liked Arathorn Flardryn, I know for a fact that I despised him and his views. Humans are the enemy; they always have been. They were the ones who killed him if I may remind you." Kolvar spat back, watching as Flardryn sighed.

"Not everything is about humans, it's about peace Kolvar, peace that can be so easily obtained if we just let go of our hatred." Flardryn replied before looking towards Callum. "Now if you excuse me, I have to teach my apprentice Sun Magic, so please, leave us and find others who share your displeasure." He added.

Kolvar huffed and quickly left the arena, so far, he had achieved two of the things Eletha had tasked him to do while in Lux Aurea. "Flardryn and his best pal Arathorn, conquering the world." He muttered, reciting a sentence they said once before in their early childhood when Arathorn was mastering Sun Magic.

He had once treated it as nonsense, nothing more then childish behaviour, but now, he wasn't so sure if it was a joke or not back then. All he knew was that what they said was coming true, just in the way he never expected.


Kolvar found himself wondering around the outskirts of Lux Aurea, his mind lost in thought before he heard the sounds of bushes moving. He quickly drew his blade, spinning around to face a group of Sunfire Elf guards. He narrowed his eyes. "How long have you been following me?" He questioned.

The guards shrugged their shoulders, Kolvar sighed in response. "Ok, you don't know. But please tell me you had a reason o be following me." He said, watching as the guards all glanced at each other. Together, there were about six of them.

"We came because we know you hate humans." One of the guards said.

Kolvar raised an eyebrow, he was now interested in where this was going. "Oh, has Queen Janai sent you to keep an eye on me and make sure that I don't do anything too rash?" He asked, watching as the guards shook their heads in response. "No?" He said with slight interest.

"We came to you because we also hate humans, it isn't easy to forget everything they've done, and honestly…" One of the guards began only for another guard to cut him off.

"We're fed up with Janai's rule and her love for the animals."

Kolvar blinked. Eletha could use people like this. As his mind ticked, a smirk formed upon his lips. "Alright then. Remain in Lux Aurea, keep an ear out for any information about what Janai plans to do next with the humans. My boss will want to know everything." He began putting his blade away. "And another thing, keep a lookout for anyone else who shares this dislike of humanity. The more who join my boss, the stronger get and the sooner we can strike out against the animals that live to the west." He finished.

The guards nodded, quickly leaving as Kolvar chuckled lightly to himself. It was reasons like this that Eletha trusted him with the most important missions instead of Malgath. While Malgath was stubborn, he could be unpredictable and turn against them, but he, he was loyal to Eletha without a doubt. He would rather die than betray her.


Some character development for Kolvar, I'm quite happy with where the path for his character lead. We'll be diving into the first few Sun Magic spells next chapter.

I'd keep The Dark War in mind for when the final book of the Archmage trilogy comes out, because it'll be a huge part of the plot. If you're curious about the Archmage trilogy and the books in it, then here they are.

A Father's Legacy(This one)

Stars of Destruction

A Frozen Curse(The Dark War plays a major part here.)
