Child of Daine and Numair
His namesake was a stormwing who died helping the Tortallan armies in the Immortals War and a friend of his parents in the end. He was tall for his age at 4'9" tall he was gaining on his father.
Rikash walked into his father's study with a heavy book on Gallan swordmanship and took a seat at small desk his father let him use, while his father read over a document.
"Father, I have somthing to ask you." Rikash said aloud.
"What is it son?" asked his father.
"Can I be a knight with Jasson, Ilane, Kelandry, Ala, and Alanna grandson, Ulasim?" Rikash asked at almost a dead whisper.
His father asked, "You don't want to be a scholar or a great mage like me?"
"Father, I want to travel, learn to fight, and how to command armies, not read for the rest of my life." replied Rikash.
"I'll give my approval, if you promise to keep up with your mage studies and scholar studies." said his father, "And if you don't I'll bring you back here and get Skysong after you."
"Yes, father, I'll ask mom tonight." Rikash replied.
"You don't have to son, I am right behind you." replied his mother.
Rikash turn his head around quick to see his mother standing behind him with a big smile.
"You can be a knight in two years with the same rules as your father." his mother said sturnly.
"Of course, Mom." Rikash replied as he got up to leave.
"Were are you going son?" asked his father.
"To tell Jasson, and get more ink." replied Rikash.
"Don't take too long son." his mother said, "We are going home tomorrow morning."
Rikash asked, "Do you want me to tell Sarrugani?"
"I already told her, she will be leaving tonight." his mother replied.
"She Shape-Shifting?" aske Rikash.
"Yes, now go." replied his mother.
He left the room for Prince Jasson's in the Royal wing.
He knocked on the door five mintues later, to be allowed in.
"Jasson, I can be a knight as long as I keep my mage and scholar studies up!" yelled Rikash.
"Thats great now we have two years to learn with Ilane, Kelandry, Ulasim, and possibly Ala." he said.
"I got to go get ink and began on that swordmanship book, were leaving tomarrow." Rikash said
"Hey, why don't you go to Pirate's Swoop in a week with all of us so we can learn togather!" he wondered.
"I'll ask, Aunt Alanna has some books I want to read anyway." Rikash pointed out.
"Send me a note." he replied.
"Alright." said Rikash as he walked out and headed for the palace stores.
