Years passed, and Torrack grew quickly, both in body and in his remarkable ability to perceive the world around him. He had come to call this unique gift "Aura Sight." By the age of six, Torrack was already well-known throughout the village of Sirco, not just as the baker's blind son but as a boy who seemed to possess an uncanny understanding of people.
Torrack had taken to helping around his family's bakery, eagerly making deliveries to the villagers. Despite his blindness, he navigated the narrow streets with confidence, never losing his way.
People marveled at his seemingly flawless sense of direction. He couldn't see in the way others did, but he saw deeper—he saw the essence of those around him.The villagers quickly grew fond of him, recognizing his perceptiveness and kind heart.
At the age of four, Torrack had surprised everyone by diagnosing a condition—"Wasting Cough," a rare but serious ailment that matched the symptoms of tuberculosis from his former life. His knowledge of this disease, which was not widely known in his new world, astonished the village healer haron, who had struggled to identify it.
Torrack's insight had saved a life, and from then on, people looked at him with a new sense of respect.
He also had a natural talent for comforting those in distress. Torrack seemed to know just the right words to say, his soothing voice and empathetic nature lifting spirits wherever he went.
Though blind, he had an almost magical ability to sense when someone was sad or troubled. With his Aura Sight, he could perceive their emotional state and often offered solace that felt perfectly timed and deeply personal.
While he was cherished by most of the villagers, not all the children shared the adults' admiration. Some of them teased Torrack about his blindness, mocking his inability to see the world as they did. Yet Torrack never felt anger or resentment toward them. In his heart, he understood that they were just children, unaware of the deeper truths he carried with him from his past life.
He would often smile and shrug off their taunts, his wisdom far beyond his years. When he did play with the other children, he did so with an open heart and a gentle spirit. He knew they didn't mean any harm—they were simply acting out of a lack of understanding.
Torrack's kindness extended even to them, his Aura Sight allowing him to see past their teasing and into the core of who they were. He could see their fears, their hopes, and the innocence that lay beneath their childish antics.
Despite the challenges he faced, Torrack felt at peace in Sirco. He had come to accept his blindness not as a limitation but as a unique way to experience the world. In the village, he found a place where he belonged, a community that valued him not for his sight but for his insight. And with each passing day, he grew more attuned to his Aura Sight, sensing that there was still much more to discover about the mysterious power that had been gifted to him in this new life.
