**Narrator:** In the outskirts of the Arcel Kingdom, concealed by the shadows of the towering walls, lay the humble abode of the Vindral family. Young Synoh Vindral spent his early years amid the whispers of legends and tales that wafted through the air. His parents, Synix(black hair with beard) and Lohl(Black long hair), navigated life with the burden of Lohl's illness, a heavy shroud that cast its pall over their home.

At the tender age of 4, Synoh(A black long hair) , a child with a heart full of warmth, devoted himself to caring for his ailing mother. His love for Lohl manifested in simple acts of kindness, creating a bond that transcended the ordinary. But amid the daily trials, Synoh harbored dreams—dreams woven from the tales of his father's exploits as a royal knight. His aspirations were dismissed as youthful fancy until the day he approached his father, Synix, with a plea for training.

**Synoh:** (*determined*) "I want to be like you and I also wanted to surpass you and became the best knight in this kingdom, Dad."

**Narrator:** Synix, initially thinking it was a jest, soon realized the sincerity in his son's eyes. Under the watchful guidance of his father, Synoh honed his skills, shaping the raw potential within him. Yet, fate had a different plan. At the age of 7, tragedy struck when Lohl succumbed to the relentless grasp of illness. The Vindral home echoed with sorrow, and Synoh, unable to bear the weight of his grief, fled into the unknown.

**Synoh:** *(stumbling upon Fel in the forest)* "Huh? Who's there?"

**Fel:** *(emerging from the shadows)* "Greetings, young traveler."

**Synoh:** *(wide-eyed)* "A talking wolf? I've never seen anything like you before."

**Fel:** "I am Fel, a big black wolf and this is my forest. And who might you be, little one?"

**Synoh:** *(curiously)* "I'm Synoh.

*(noticing Fel's injured state)* "What happened to you? Are you hurt?"

**Fel:** *(lightly brushing off the concern)* "It's nothing, just a scratch. But what about you, young Synoh? Why do I find you crying alone in the forest?"

**Synoh:** *(sniffling)* "It's... it's nothing, really. I just... I miss my mom."

**Fel:** *(gently)* "Ah, the ache of a wounded heart. I understand, little one. Loss is never easy."

**Synoh:** *(tears welling up)* "She's gone, Fel. And I don't know what to do without her."

**Fel:** *(nuzzling Synoh comfortingly)* "I know it feels like the world has turned against you, but remember, you are not alone. Your mother's love still surrounds you, guiding you even in her absence."

**Synoh:** *(sniffling)* "But I don't know how to go on without her."

**Fel:** *(softly)* "You're stronger than you realize, Synoh. Every tear shed is a testament to the love you shared. And in time, that love will become a source of strength, fueling your journey forward."

**Synoh:** *(wiping his tears)* "You really think so, Fel?"

**Fel:** *(nodding)* "I do, young one. And know this: no matter where your path leads, I will always be here, watching over you."

**Synoh:** *(smiling weakly)* "Thanks, Fel. I think I feel a little better now."

**Fel:** *(nuzzling Synoh once more)* "Now, Let me send you back home, I guess your father must missing you."

**Synoh:** *(shocked)* "Dad!!! I'm run away without thinking."

**Fel:** *"Let go, I will takes you home."

**Synoh:** *(relief)* "Yeah, let's go."

**Synix:** *(relieved to see Synoh return safely)* "Synoh, my boy, I was worried sick. Where have you been?"

**Synoh:** *(breathless)* "Father, I... I met someone in the forest. His name is Fel, and he helped me find my way home."

**Synix:** *(eyeing Fel with suspicion)* "And who might this be?"

**Fel:** *(stepping forward)* "I am Fel, guardian of these woods. Your son stumbled upon me when he was lost."

**Synix:** *(surprised)* "A guardian, you say?"

**Fel:** *(nodding)* "Yes, and I've been watching over Synoh during his time in the forest. He's a brave young man."

**Synoh:** *(urgently)* "Father, Fel needs our help. He's injured and... and he doesn't have anywhere else to go."

**Synix:** *(considering)* "I see... And what do you propose we do?"

**Synoh:** *(pleading)* "Can't he stay with us, Father? Just until he's healed? Please?"

**Synix:** *(sighing)* "Very well, Synoh. Anything for the one who saved my son. But it's ultimately up to Fel."

**Synoh:** *(turning to Fel)* "Please, Fel. Stay with us. You'll be safe here."

**Fel:** *(hesitant)* "I appreciate your kindness, young Synoh. But my duty lies beyond these walls. I must continue my journey."

**Synoh:** *(determined)* "Then let me help you, Fel. I won't let you face this alone."

**Fel:** *(touched)* "You truly are a remarkable young man, Synoh. Very well, I accept your offer."

**Synix:** *(nodding)* "Then it's settled. You can stay with us, Fel. Consider yourself part of the family."

**Fel:** *(grateful)* "Thank you, Synix. I won't forget this kindness."

**Narrator:** Days passed, and the absence of Lohl cast a melancholic shadow over the Vindral household. Synoh, once filled with fervor for training, now grappled with a profound sadness. Sensing his son's struggle, Synix confronted Synoh about the pain that weighed heavy on his heart.

**Synix:** "Son, I understand the ache in your soul. But clinging to grief will only shroud the brilliance of your potential."

**Synoh:** (*voice heavy with sorrow*) "I can't just forget about Mom. It hurts too much."

**Narrator:** One day before Synoh's mother, Lohl, passed away, she shared a heartfelt conversation with him, unaware of the impending tragedy looming on the horizon.

**Lohl:** "Synoh, my dear, come sit with me for a moment."

**Synoh:** "Sure, Mom. What is it?"

**Lohl:** "I want to talk to you about something important, something that weighs heavily on my heart."

**Synoh:** "What's wrong, Mom? You look upset."

**Lohl:** "It's not that I'm upset, dear. It's just... I worry about you and your future. You have so much potential, Synoh, and I want to see you thrive."

**Synoh:** "I'll do my best, Mom. I promise."

**Lohl:** "That's all I ask, Synoh. But there's something else. Something I need you to promise me."

**Synoh:** "What is it, Mom?"

**Lohl:** "Promise me that you'll become a general one day. Promise me that you'll rise to greatness and make a difference in this world."

**Synoh:** "A general? But Mom, that's a big responsibility."

**Lohl:** "I know, my dear. But I have faith in you. You have the courage, the strength, and the heart to achieve anything you set your mind to. Promise me, Synoh."

**Synoh:** "I promise, Mom. I'll become a general, just like you want. I'll make you proud."

**Lohl:** "Thank you, Synoh. That means the world to me. Now go, my brave son, and chase your dreams. I'll be cheering you on every step of the way."

While Synoh was determined to master his abilities, the encounter shed light on the mysteries of magic, revealing that there was much yet to be uncovered in the depths of their training.

**Synix:** (shocked) Synoh, did you just... use dark magic?

**Synoh:** (breathless) I... I think so, Father. It just... happened.

**Fel:** (smirking) It appears our young protégé has unlocked a new facet of his potential.

**Synix:** (bewildered) Dark magic... But how?

**Fel:** (calmly) Dark magic is often misunderstood, Synix. It is not inherently evil; rather, it is a reflection of the depths of one's spirit. Synoh's bond with me has awakened this dormant power within him.

**Synix:** (contemplative) I see... It seems there is much I still have to learn about the mysteries of magic.

**Synoh:** (determined) Whatever it is, I'll master it, Father. I won't let it control me.

**Fel:** (nodding) Wise words, Synoh. Embrace your abilities, but never let them define who you are.

**Fel:** (nodding) No, Synoh. I'm a spirit guardian, and I've fulfilled my purpose by guiding and protecting you. But my time here is done.

**Synix:** (smirk) You finally told him.

**Fel:** (looking at Synoh) Yes, and he's grown into a fine young man. It's time for me to move on, but our paths may cross again someday.

**Synoh:** (hugging Fel tightly) I'll miss you, Fel. You've been like family to me.

**Fel:** And you'll always have a special place in my heart, Synoh. Farewell, my friend.

**Fel:** (revealing his true identity) Before I go, there's something you should know, Synoh. I am not just a spirit guardian. I am also the son of Fenrir,the Wolf King. My destiny is entwined with the fate of this world.

**Synoh:** (surprised) The son of Fenrir?

**Synix:** (astonished) The son of Fenrir? No wonder you have been such a remarkable companion.

**Fel:** The time has come for me to fulfill my role in the grand scheme of things. I'll be part of a journey that transcends realms. Synoh, continue to grow, and when the time is right, our paths may cross again.Yes, and our connection runs deeper than you can imagine.

**Synix:** Synoh, I understand your dreams and desires. You want to be a great general, just like I once aspired to be. But there's something you should know about my past. Your mother, Lohl, was a former slave that I rescued. As a royal guard, I was forbidden to marry. The love I had for your mother was so profound that I chose to leave my position to be with her.

**Synoh:** (teary-eyed) You left everything for love?

With his skills honed and his resolve steeled, Synoh felt the call to venture beyond the familiar confines of his home. The promise he had made to his mother echoed in his heart, serving as a guiding light as he prepared to embark on his journey.

Indeed, before the fateful day of his mother's passing, Synoh had embarked on a journey of martial mastery, inheriting his father's legendary sword techniques known as the Whirlpool Dance. Rooted in the fluidity of water magic, Synoh's father had wielded this formidable skill with grace and precision. However, as Synoh lacked the innate ability to manipulate water magic, he found himself at a crossroads. It was then that fate intervened in the form of Fel, the enigmatic wolf who bestowed upon Synoh the gift of dark magic.

With Fel's guidance, Synoh delved deep into the art of combat, honing his skills with relentless determination. Drawing inspiration from his father's techniques, Synoh forged his own path, refining the Whirlpool Dance into a manifestation of his unique style. Thus, the Shadow Dance was born—a testament to Synoh's unwavering resolve and the symbiotic bond he shared with Fel.

As Synoh reminisced about his journey, the weight of his promise to his mother hung heavy in the air, driving him ever forward on the path to greatness.

Filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, Synoh gathered his belongings, ready to set forth into the unknown. The weight of his promise hung heavy upon his shoulders, but it also fueled his determination to fulfill his destiny. Synoh felt a sense of reassurance amidst the uncertainty of the road ahead.

As he took his first steps beyond the threshold of his home, Synoh's gaze was fixed firmly on the horizon, where adventure awaited and the legacy of his mother's dreams beckoned him forward. With every stride, he moved closer to fulfilling the promise he had made—a promise that would shape the course of his destiny and define the path he would walk as he ventured forth into the wide world beyond.
