Erik Dalian's Links
My little brother, whom I haven't seen since we were back in Egypt. We have a lot to catch up on, but he is certainly just as injury prone as I remember.
My awesome older brother! He seems to know everything, but I can never figure out what he's currently studying. We need to catch up after such a long time!
I don't understand what happened when I encountered that... that demon years ago. He appeared out of nowhere and then... just disappeared again. I can't remember what he did to me, but... I haven't felt quite the same since.
I'm quite certain you'll prove useful to me in due time...
I think things would've gone a lot more smoothly if we'd managed to get back to the US with mom and Calik instead of getting delayed by that earthquake. Then again... would that mean I'd be in the same position Calik is in now? I might not have encountered Nyfringe Nyre at all if we got there on time... so would I still be first in line to be Dalia's Host?
I can tell, he'd be an excellent successor to his bloodline... We just need to figure out how to keep Nyfringe Nyre away from him.
Aunt Kristine sure works hard. Calik's always saying I'm just like her in that aspect. Maybe that's a cue for me to take a lighter schedule next semester...
Joey's oldest son seems so on top of things and ready to take on the world. It's so good to see him succeeding and able to evaluate all his options for his future.
Dad and I have been through a lot together, more than most people ever experience. I think it's only made us closer, and he's always done everything possible to support me no matter how crazy our lives got.
For the past near-decade it's just been me and Erik trying to find our way home. Nothing frightened me more than the notion of losing him, and it's such a relief to know we've made it and we can have some stability with this family again. I'm so proud of how strong he's become through all this.
It was such a long time to be away from Mom and Calik, and it feels like she hasn't changed much at all. Well, aside from becoming a really scary driver. I don't feel like I've really changed much, but I guess it's true. I'm not the same kid I was when we first parted ways.
My little boy is so grown up and mature now, and I missed so much of it while we were apart. Eight years really makes a difference, but I'm glad he and his father managed together. He's so responsible and confident now, and he probably kept his father from getting too scattered... He probably gets that from me somehow.
Cake used to be much too serious when we were younger, and she didn't really know how to chill out because she took her studies so seriously. She's definitely loosened up more now though, and it's nice to see her smile more often.
Erik was just an assignment back then, but it's been years since we met each other, and we've warmed up to each other a lot since then. I still need to ensure his safety, but it's much more of my own motivation than just my mission.
I didn't get to meet Aunt Kristine's husband; he was killed while we were still living in Egypt. Dad met him once at their wedding though, and he said that Riley was perfect for her. His family speaks so fondly of him still.
I heard from Kristine that her brother went missing for a long time, but when he finally got back in touch with her he had since gotten married and had a family. I would wonder when we'd get the chance to meet them...
Ed's little brother seems really sweet, and it's nice to hear he's good friends with Calik too. I appreciate he helps out whenever Calik happens to injure himself... which is often.
Calik's older brother seems nice, and he's apparently friends with Edward. He seems to stress himself out about his studies too, but I hope he doesn't go as far as Ed... or will at least listen to relax a bit more.
