Alaric woke up with a start, his mind clear and sharp, the fog of forgotten memories now lifted. The surge of emotions and knowledge that had flooded his mind the previous night had finally settled, leaving him with a profound sense of clarity and purpose. He remembered everything—his lineage, his powers, and the truth about the world he had been hidden from.
As he got ready for school, he felt different, more complete. The emptiness that had always gnawed at him was gone, replaced by a steady confidence that resonated from deep within. Every movement felt purposeful, every thought sharp. He was no longer just Alaric, the transfer student with mysterious powers—he was Alaric Noctics, a vampire of Nyxoria, fully aware of his heritage and the responsibilities that came with it.
