Chapter 3 - The awakening ceremony

So in this universe of Krystal, each planet had its own challenges and its own wonders. The inhabitants had to learn to live with the forces of nature and use their knowledge of magic to protect their kingdom and their people. It was a place where beauty met danger, where peace coexisted with war, and where secrets were hidden in every corner of the universe.

And then there were the dwarf planets, one of which was the mining planet where Benjamin lived.

The planet was nearly abandoned, the mines were in ruins, and the population had dwindled. Despite this, the inhabitants had managed to maintain a stable life by using the remaining mining resources and turning to agriculture. Benjamin lived with his parents in a small community of miners determined to survive despite the difficulties. Benjamin and his family's home was in a quiet part of the mining planet, surrounded by rocky hills and lush forests.

It was a small wooden house, with a white painted facade and a red tiled roof. There was a garden in front, with flowers and shrubs, despite the poverty of the family, they took care of their garden. The garage was next door, with a rusty door that creaked when opened. The interior of the house was simple but comfortable, with wooden furniture and colorful rugs. There was a modest kitchen, with wooden cabinets and a stainless steel sink, despite the family's poverty, they took care of their home. Benjamin's father's house was right next door, they lived close to each other so they could help each other.

The morning of the awakening ceremony, Benjamin awoke to hear his mother calling him from downstairs. He got up with difficulty, still a little sleepy. He was of medium height, measuring 1.55m. He had brown hair, always messy and unmanageable. He had emerald colored eyes, which shone in the morning light. He descended the stairs to join his family in the small kitchen of their house. The kitchen was simple and rustic, with wooden cabinets and a worn granite countertop. There was a small wooden table surrounded by a few mismatched chairs. Their kitchen equipment was old, but they got by with what they had.

He joined his big brother Alexandre who was 15 cm taller than him and his father Robert who was 1.84 meters tall. The three looked a lot alike with similar features and similar expressions. They were all sitting at the kitchen table "Hello Benjamin, how are you this morning?" asked Robert with a smile. "Hello Dad, I'm fine, thank you" replied Benjamin as he sat down at the table.

"So, ready for the awakening ceremony?" Alexander asked with a big smile.

"Yeah, a little nervous but ready" replied Benjamin taking a bite of his breakfast. He remembered with emotion all the stories he had heard about this ceremony, about the miners who had surpassed themselves to become the strongest and most courageous in their community.
