# Brother - Kaelesil (Kel) > [!NOTE] Base info > **Personality:** Rebellious, chaotic > **Age:** 15 (at the oldest) > **Season:** Changed regularly between all seasons > **Occupation:** Dreamed of becoming an adventurer ## Memories Although we got into countless fights, Kel was one of the few kids around my age in the settlement, and he was my best friend. Often, when I got into trouble it was because I'd tried following in his steps. He would, under the guise of practicing to become an adventurer, do the most reckless things. Like the time he tried to teach me how to fey step. His method was to attempt an impossible leap from treetop to treetop and let instinct take over. It was quite the fall, so he only started laughing after making sure I was okay. He must've felt somewhat guilty, because in the days that followed he tried his best to teach me for real. And eventually his efforts paid off, he found exactly the right words, the right metaphor, and suddenly it clicked. I was so happy I almost forgave him for making me fall out of a tree. --- He used to say that when he got older he would become an adventurer and explore the material plane. It started with the book [[Half Brother - Cyrellion|Cyrellion]] lent him, some sort of diary or a travel log that had sketches of places from the material plane. Huge mountains that pierce the clouds, sprawling red deserts, tropical coastlines with oceans that stretch across the horizon. But most fascinating were the cities, so many buildings crammed together, and stacked on top of each other. It was nearly all he would talk about at times. I wasn't really sold on the idea tough, I loved the feywild and thought it had plenty to offer. It was a regular point of conflict between us. ## Fate In the end, when Kel and I were the only ones remaining and I started showing signs of the curse, his obsession with leaving the feywild crystallized into a more concrete plan. He was persuaded that leaving might be our best shot at escaping the curse. He had it all planned out, even as far as locating a nearby gate to the material realm. But I was scared and stubborn, I didn't want to leave. And of course, he wouldn't leave without me. So we stayed. Those days I spent most of my time away from home since there was nothing there for me. And every so often when I was gone for too long, Kel would come and find me, to make sure that I was okay. To make sure that I was still myself. Except on that one day. I'd been gone for nearly three days, and he hadn't come looking. So, worried, I decided to go look for him instead. First at grandmother's place, where he'd been searching through her books and scrolls for a solution to the curse. But he wasn't there and the place was torn apart. So, I followed the trail of destruction back home. Standing in the ruined remains of father's study is where I found it. The creaking husk that had once been my brother. I should've ran the moment I saw it, but I couldn't look away. Those empty eyes still haunt me. Then it lunged at me. He must've been fighting the curse still, or I would certainly have died right there. But somehow I managed to jump out of the way. Somehow I escaped. I didn't stop running until I collapsed, somewhere on the outskirts of Saulm's rest. That's the last time I saw home. I think I never really stopped running.
