Adversity brought by the knight. Serenity earned by his peers, it was true that the Kortrevich stood. Without him, perhaps a dark-sheep to many, though he always kept somewhat of a keen eye for the younger ones.

He wished the young Dame to keep striving forward. “Alas, some things are inevitable. You're not a child anymore...” he offered after her demise.
