Chapter 1A New Beginning

The sun had barely risen over the city, casting a golden hue on the orphanage's weathered bricks. Inside, a young boy sat quietly, his dark eyes staring out of the window, lost in thought. This was Alaric, a boy who had lived at the orphanage for as long as he could remember, his past shrouded in mystery.

Today was different. The usual humdrum of the orphanage was interrupted by the arrival of a couple, Thomas and Maria Greene. They had decided to adopt, wanting to give a child a chance at a better life. The staff had recommended Alaric, a quiet but observant child who had always stood out.

Thomas, a dedicated police officer, and Maria, a kind-hearted woman of Japanese descent, immediately felt a connection with Alaric. They watched as he interacted with the other children, noting his gentle demeanor and thoughtful nature.

"He's perfect," Maria whispered to Thomas, who nodded in agreement.

The adoption process was swift, and before long, Alaric found himself leaving the orphanage that had been his home for years. He clutched a small suitcase containing his few belongings, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension.

As they drove to their new home, Maria turned to Alaric with a warm smile. "We're so happy to have you with us, Alaric. Welcome to our family."

Their home was a cozy, two-story house in a quiet neighborhood. Alaric's new room was modest but comfortable, with a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf waiting to be filled. He took in the unfamiliar surroundings, feeling a sense of belonging for the first time in his life.

Over the next few months, Alaric adapted to his new life with the Greenes. Thomas was often busy with work, but he always made time for family dinners and weekend outings. Maria was a nurturing presence, helping Alaric with his homework and encouraging his interests.

One day, while unpacking boxes in the attic, Alaric came across an old photo album. He carefully opened it, revealing pictures of the Greenes' life before his arrival. There were photos of Thomas in his police uniform, Maria at various family gatherings, and a young girl with an infectious smile.

"That's Lucy," Maria said, her voice soft. "She's your little sister. She can't wait to meet you."

Lucy was eight years old, energetic, curious, and loving. She immediately took a liking to Alaric, following him around the house and asking endless questions. Despite the initial adjustment period, Alaric found himself growing fond of her.

"Alaric, come play with me!" Lucy would often call out, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Alaric, though reserved, would indulge her, playing games and reading stories to her. He became fiercely protective of her, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.

Life settled into a comfortable routine. Alaric excelled in school, his keen intellect and disciplined nature earning him the respect of his teachers and peers. At home, he found solace in the company of his new family, who provided the love and stability he had longed for.

Yet, despite the warmth of his new life, Alaric couldn't shake a lingering feeling of something amiss. There were moments when he felt a strange pull, an inexplicable sense of connection to something beyond his understanding. He often dismissed it as remnants of his past, buried deep in his subconscious.

As he navigated the complexities of his new life, Alaric remained unaware of the true nature of his origins and the extraordinary destiny that awaited him. For now, he was content with the simple joys of family and the promise of a brighter future.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.
