Chapter 18 - Adrian's storyline

Adrian is a sixteen-year-old teenage boy. who had lived his whole life as a mere commoner, on the outskirts of Seth's capital. Alongside his motherly strict aunt and her precious cat, whom she treasured more than Adrian himself. The fact doesn't bother the latter though. Apart from his aunt, he doesn't have any idea if he has any other family members, as they have never received visitors let alone visit anyone's home.

His aunt had even made weird rules, which seemed pretty abnormal to the latter. due to an incident that occurred back when he was eight. although, he had seem to have already forgotten what happened that day... He wasn't allowed to talk to anyone casually unless necessary, not allowed to make friends or even visit anyone's home.

she had also given him a silver bracelet once when he had turned ten years old, which he wasn't allowed to take off no matter what. he always adored the bracelet back then, but now he found it embarrassing to be seen wearing women's jewelry which was pretty much the only one they probably owned.

The weird thing was that people never seemed to notice him wearing it. it was almost as if they couldn't see it...like it was invisible to them, only he and his aunt could see it.

Many abnormal phenomena seemed to play huge roles in his life.

Sometimes, he feels like he could read people's thoughts or heal even a minor injury at a very fast pace. one time, he decided to test if his ideas about himself were true.so used a sharp iron to create a shallow wound on his arm, which in an instant got healed with no trace of a single scar on himself.

He queried his aunt for answers, as he felt he wasn't like the other children .he knew that there was something about him that was yet to be discovered. and needed answers from his cunt aunt, as he felt she knew something and wasn't willing to tell him anytime soon.

he always insisted on hearing the truth from her. but she replies by telling him to brush off stupid thoughts, from his head and focus on other important things .she would then collect his bracelet from him for some minutes, and tell him to close his eyes tightly shut. he had always complied without any questions. not that he wanted to, but his body would just follow her orders by itself as if she controlled it. and then she would return the bracelet, making sure to secure it tightly around his wrist. before asking him to leave and report to her whenever he witnessed anything out of the ordinary.

His aunt works as a servant under Lord Fagan's mansion. lord Fagan is the grand Duke of Sparta, a large town under the capital, which was well known for having the largest fish market, due to the very large sea in the area. which was the borderline between Seth and the other continents. making the area heavily guarded against Intruders from other continents. especially during times of war.
