Kanenas remembers 1

by Kanénas

After the events of the Moon festival Kanenas is in a drunken stupor. Torgan having told them that he is leaving the group to go and retire, make Kanenas think about home. He remembers the day after Alister had caught him picking some poor saps pockets.
"Well Kanenas, you really are trying to earn that name of yours aren't you." Kanenas looked up as the Wintershield Watchmen who had caught him. "What do you no about my name." Kanenas growled at the man. The man with an outwardly calm demeanor responded. "I know it is a name that any one who knows a thing about the power of a name would be envious of." The man's tone lowers slightly but also becomes more intense and controlled. "I know that it is a name that was given to you by a woman who knew the value of such a name."
Kanenas stops his struggling against the Wintershield, his mind flashing back to his mother who had told him that the name No One was a protection against those with power. His voice going horse asks, "How do you know that?" The Man smiles at him; though looking back he knows their was sadness in that smile. he responds "Maybe I will tell you that some day. But! first things first you need to be punished for stealing, but because I am such a wise and generous man I will give you a choice either pay with some time in the stocks and have a judge decide what we should do with you. Or. You could help with the construction project at the house of knowledge." Kanenas thinks about running but the man has a tight grip on his arm. "Fine I will help rebuild the stupid temple." The man smiles. "I knew you were a smart kid."
Tired from this interaction Kanenas ask. "So Mr. Know it all what is your name."
"My name, it's Alister, and maybe if you are smart you can find out what it means."
