Title: Kalasin Rating: PG Word Count: 205 Pairing: Kalasin/Wyldon Fight: 1/C Summary: Kalasin learns about her namesake. A series where Wyldon and Kalasin struggle with the idea of duty.
“Do you know much about your namesake?” Wyldon asks on one of their morning rides.
Kalasin shakes her head. “No, sir. Mama……I don’t think she likes to talk about her. It makes her sad.”
“Do you know anything about her?”
“No, sir- it hasn’t really come up.”
“You should know,” Wyldon tells her, his face resigned. “It’s important.
Kalasin is sitting up straighter on her horse, her twelve year old face alight with excitement and expectation.
“Your grandmother was K’mir,” Wyldon begins. “The people are sort of like the Bazhir in Tortall. Her husband was the warlord of Sarain, and he abused them- he took her people as slaves, he forbid them to gather in groups, and he was not a good leader to them. And Kalasin decided that something needed to be done. So she climbed the highest tower, and sang a death chant. She woke a lot of people up who thought it was right to treat the K’mir that way. She helped to bring about the rebellion.”
“And then she jumped,” Kalasin added softly.
“Yes. Then she jumped.”
“I could never be that brave,” Kalasin says.
Wyldon reaches over to gently clasp her shoulder, looking into her eyes. “Princess, you already are.”

In these fics, I think Wyldon is really trying to help Kalasin to see that just because her life isn't going to be some fairytale like her mother's and father's doesn't mean she can't be useful and make a difference. Thank you so much, though!
