~A little about me: Nathaniel Castelia~

Castelia... that last name resonates in my mind. Just thinking about it and analyzing it carefully makes me realize that it sounds too fancy or royal...

haha, who would think that of a simple last name? I must be freaking out. The fact that it rings means nothing. It's stupid... just absurd to think something like that, first of all we must see what is in the members of the family before judging by a simple word that unites them.

I still don't understand why every time I close my eyes the pressure in my chest is present, maybe because the Castelia have hurt me too much. They have humiliated me! Every time I talk to them... I want to escape! Run away from their stupid thoughts that have made me live a life full of worry and confusion just for being... different from others? . Of course he would run away if... I weren't a CASTELIA.

I am the son of Rossalín Fray, a woman from a middle-class family without absurd traditions like the ones instilled in my father (well, that's the little I know about my mother), the cause of all my misfortunes... Jhon Castelia, a man from a strange family full of mystery and secrets before society. The more the gifts hide from him, the more people suspect them, well, us, but still they don't do anything for fear of being hurt, nonsense... we can't hurt a single fly with what we know.

It sounds like he's just throwing a tantrum, but he's not. Nothing is easy when you live with a group of madmen who say that each member of the family must comply with a foolish betrayal, it is absurd to prepare infants just to put a candle on an altar that venerates a simple figurine that protects the whole family for generations.

Sometimes I think that not living like other children who enjoy playing and doing mischief has stolen a large part of my childhood, who would say that a simple tradition has taken away my being someone "normal"?

Of course I'm not normal, for other children I'm a weirdo.

I can't do anything that doesn't call the attention of those who are outside the family circle, even seeing, listening, talking, are things that I never thought to cry out to be stripped of them, it's painful to see what others don't and not being able to talk about it without being called crazy... I hate being a Castelia, and the rumors that spread about my family are nothing new.

"Warlocks"

"phenomena"

"They make a pact with beings from the afterlife to hurt their enemies"

"they do sorcery rituals"

"They say they fly at night"

"they can transform into animals and return to normal"

"they are able to levitate"

"they talk to ghosts"

"They Make Corpses Walk"

"They have potions, and they can do whatever they want with them!"

Among other more rumors circulate between murmurs every time they see us walk through the town, they spit out pure fallacies without having evidence, although it is true that we can talk to ghosts or that we learn to cast spells but... it is never to hurt others. someone, but it is to use it as personal protection against the beings of darkness that are after the young people with Castelia blood who have not put the candle. According to my parents, they say that by placing that simple candle the being of light that my family has venerated for many generations... will protect me too, although after my father and my uncle... the next ones who have tried to meet have suffered accidents, possessions of dark beings, disappearances or have even fallen into a deep sleep. According to my grandparents, the latter is caused because a beast from the other plane has locked them up so that their souls do not return to their bodies, although I think they are only in a coma due to the ritual.

Do you think that all this could be such a big deal? I know everything that has happened to my relatives from my father, but I think they are coincidences.

Do you think that all the training is necessary so that there will only come a day when you only put up a candle to be given protection?... haha, something so simple couldn't become dangerous... could it? Well, I will get the answer when I meet the last requirement... turn 22, which will happen in a couple of weeks.

Let's go Castelia tradition, surprise me!. May all the years of training count for something.
