Kyrian makes his debut in Fantasy Lover:
Julian paused as he remembered the day his general's ring
had been awarded to him. He and Kyrian of Thrace had been
promoted together after they had single-handedly saved
Themopoly from the Romans.
It had been a long brutal and bloody fight.
Their army had broken and left the two of them alone to
defend the town. Julian had expected Kyrian to abandon him
as well, but the young fool had just smiled at him, grabbed
a sword for each hand, and said, "It's a beautiful day to
die. What say we slay as many of these bastards as we can
before we pay Charon?"
A complete and utter lunatic, Kyrian had always had more
guts than brains.
Afterward, they had drank each other under the table in
celebration. And in the morning, they had awakened and been
promoted.
Gods, out of all the people Julian had known in Macedonia,
he missed Kyrian most. Kyrian was the only man who had ever
stood at his back and defended it.
