Kaiver stood silent as he was scowled by his superior. A pompous and cocky man that towered above him that was the pride and the most prized knight of all of Hyrule, or so most thought. Sir Orca Halber, His superior and caretaker of the Hero of Time Festival, as well the one who was closest to King Daphnes. Nevertheless, he glanced angerly in his eyes, knowing that they were full of haughty pride and contempt for him, as past events between him and Kaiver went sour during the Escape of the Crimson Hound. His demotion was not something that Kaiver pleaded for, for if Sir Orca would had have his way with him, he would been discharged without honor, and would had to forfeit his title of service to the King, pushing him and his family into poverty. He was lucky to have Elder Lyontus defend him during his trial and demotion to Town Watch.

Still, he stood by to let him though as he checked on the child. She would heal with proper care and with time, but the blinding green pillar of light caught him off guard as he kneeled himself and the woman down to provide cover to whatever might happen.

“GET DOWN!” 

The rush of wind that rushed passed his cloak would had knocked anyone close to the center of the pillar of light, but as it died down and disappeared, the Chilfos was suddenly gone and disappeared leaving behind the wet, muddy ground he used to stand on as bits of steam rose from the footprints where he stood.

Elder Lyontus chuckled at the lighthearted joke directed at him, and took no offence as they were friends as far back as he could remember in his adult years, as it was he who taught her the basics of alchemy, and was good at it too. But, his style was more of finer and rarer ingredients, creating more priced and potent potions than she did, but he still admired her for her bravery and dedication to the Goddesses and to her craft. She was a disciple of Farore, but he was one of Nayru’s. Still, he did not criticize her decision, as his they both embraced the same faith.

“Sure, I most certainly can! Just let me get back to my cart and I’ll-” he was cut off about bringing the toad to as he was about to head off, until he heard Shila’s pleas and felt the tug on his robes. Distracted by the fairy’s tugs against her direction, he looked back and saw Sir Orca Halbert. Naklov simply glared at the towering figure, and stood angrily on the stool at him. “Sir Orca Halbert.” He said to Shila, making his way back to his cart. “A pompous and proud buffoon… That is all I’m permitted to say.”

In reality, pompous and proud were understatements. Elder Lyontus had dealt with Sir Halbert long before Kaiver’s demotion. He knew him as a squire and guided him long before he met Kaiver, and remembered his ascension to Knighthood. But despite his position and high place near to the King, his reputation stood upon a house of cards to those that knew him personally that would incur the wrath of those most loyal to him if they dared step out of line. He had been extorted by the knight’s followers that demanded refunds for perfectly good potions and demanded he pay ‘higher taxes’ due to his success within the marketplace. In truth, it was a plot to make potions for them at no cost in which they would most certanly drive him out of business. He kept his tax records within the Temple of Time in case a paid thief were to steal them from his home, making sure he pay the right amount as ordered by the King himself. But ever since Kaiver’s demotion, and it was his hand that prevented him from going poor and humiliated, since then, Orca has personally denounced Elder Lyontus as a shyster, oaf, a sorcerer, false prophet, charlatan, and a madman ever since he defended him, but his cries to heed Gannon’s eventual return were dismissed by Orca as ranting and insanity to the larger crowd.

Perhaps, within that boisterous ego, that narcissistic, spiteful, and haughty shell of a man, perhaps he will learn to know what it means to have loyalty and humility, than simply lining his pockets full of rupies and prancing around in golden armor. But even then, he seriously doubted it as he was disgusted by his sight, slamming the door to the entrance of his cart as he walked in.
