Skyl

Vale & Hyja are parents.

Tzing is husband.

Valea is sister.

Skyl is of the Flyk people Ghust is the son of Tzing (father aka Zingbeht nickname that his wife calls him). Tzing came from Farah Bazaar initially but stayed behind when the rest of the peoples returned there and married Skyl. Ghust means "Cave Winds" in the Flyk tongue. Ghust's wife is Skyl. She is of the Flyk people. Ghust had inherited his father’s dark straight hair but the thickness of Skyl’s long wavy locks had also come to him, so his hair was thick and dark and straight, with almost a purple sheen to it. They soon gave up trying to cut it and it became a knot on his head and then a braid down his back, then a folded braid as he grew. Ghust grew very strong and was a bit taller than even his father, though he towered over his dainty mother, his face still bore her dainty nose and deep beautiful eyes. The years that followed felt like Tzing was living a second childhood and his life before Skyl seemed like it had been lived by another person, a person who was uglier, smaller and dead to him completely. The rest of the tribe who had settled in the woods of the vale land did not do well foraging without him to lead them and most of them moved back to the Farah Bazaar though a few pushed on to emigrate to the northern lands of Azure. Zingbeht, as Skyl called him, was a happy man and his eyes were full of light. Skyl was the personification of a flower he had decided, her hands smelled like flowers and the way that she moved was like a tulip blowing in the wind. The days, weeks and months passed easily and soon Ghust was born. His name meant ‘cave winds’ in the tongue of the Flyk. The Flyk knew how to mine the deep recesses of the ground and could smell the mineral content by the winds that blew up the tunnels from under the ground. Ghust was a very happy child and content to crawl about in the egg, and just as much to crawl off into the forest after butterflies or the round furry creatures that frequented the village. He had inherited his father’s dark straight hair but the thickness of Skyl’s long wavy locks had also come to him, so his hair was thick and dark and straight, with almost a purple sheen to it. They soon gave up trying to cut it and it became a knot on his head and then a braid down his back, then a folded braid as he grew. Ghust loved the mines, and he also loved the trees. He worked hours and hours carving at the trees with the stones that they dug up from deep in the recesses of the ground at the deepest parts of the Valeland forest. The Firestone let him hollow out trees with ease and the sharpstone he used to chisel and hollow out logs that could be more easily pushed out of the mine or lowered on ropes and then wound back up once filled with gems or stones, even into the darkest parts of the ground. Ghust grew very strong and was a bit taller than even his father, though he towered over his dainty mother, his face still bore her dainty nose and deep beautiful eyes. Ghust adult life: The fold portal. The Battle School revenge and rescue men and their parties are departing going out in pursuit of a virgin who has been stolen away from her family. They are riding together in force and in unity to go after a prince who has taken their sister and daughter. They are riding from Battle School and headed east, when all of a sudden they are translated to the steppe in the center of the northern lands. They are right near the village where the prince has taken her. The men recognize where they are. It is days and days ride from anywhere and the prince has taken her there alone to his personal residence that nobody knows of. He took her from the eastern side of the valelands and these raiders appear on the west side of his hut. He comes out of his buried ground hovel (like a scotsman or Celtic house dug out of stone into the ground and walls reinforced with earth and a thatched roof. He comes out of the hut unclothed when he hears the sound of the horses coming with nothing but his sword. The father is riding at the front of the pack with his spear on his back. He reaches back over his shoulder and the man is standing there with his sword drawn. The father pulls out the spear and faces the tip down to the ground as he rides up on him, then lifts it up just as he gets close bringing it through the prince and lifting him up into the air. He rides to the closest patch of rocks and plants the base of the spear there with the body still impaled above it for the birds to devour. He then rides back to rescue his daughter from the hovel. She is brought back with her brothers and they turn around to take her back towards the battle school, not knowing how they will arrive there. The dozen servants and others who were forcefully enslaved to serve him come out of the servants’ quarters and bring horses and join them as they leave, grateful to have left. They head across the steppe and towards Assassin’s Steppe (though it is not yet known by that name) they go along the edge of the Great Lake and they encounter the wall of the crystal city, they do not know what this city is but they never find a gate in it. They continue to ride until they come to where the wall meets the edge of the rocks of assassin’s steppe. As they stand there turning around trying to figure out where to go as there is nowhere left to go but back the way of their original village that has been overtaken by the seeds of Sali. As they are turning about, they are translated again to the other side of the stone. They see the wall as if from the other side now and follow the wall forward. They come across a bit of desert that it much like the desert near to battle school and then come against the black beast teeth mountains. They take their horses over the mountains and arrive to a deep and wide fertile valley full of flowers and trees and completely surrounded by mountains. This is Delterland and this is the story of Beltar and Jasi’s mother Savil and father Ghust, who was one of the men who went out with Jasi’s father Ghust and Savil’s brothers to rescue Savil from the impaled prince of the Vale, the son of Sali with the father of the highsteppe camp, may his name ever be forgotten and his bones warn the sky of the dangers of stealing a virgin from her husband. Savil and Ghust settled in Delterland along with their small family of raiders and the young men and women who had been hiding in the servants’ hut when their forced master was killed.
