At Koyu, a Name With a Wish
A child isn't given a name just like that. A name has a hidden meaning. Long ago, if people wanted a boy to be strong, they named him Arystan (lion), and if they wanted him fast, they named him Tulpar (swift steed). It's like a nickname in a game: they call you "Falcon", and you already fly faster than everyone. The name was given by an elder, who whispered it in the baby's ear so no one would give him the evil eye.
