Ch. 1- The Dreaming of a future Scholar..

As the first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and pink, Brann sat by his window, lost in thought. His journal lay open before him, its pages filled with musings and theories about the mysteries of the world.

"Many said that Darius and the power he obtained was from myths and legends," Brann wrote, his pen gliding across the parchment. "Others claimed that the story wasn't real. There never was a boy named Darius, the Highlands, or the Goddess. And so the story became nothing more than an urban myth about how darkness is said to be dangerous."

But Brann knew better. He had spent countless hours poring over ancient texts and manuscripts, searching for clues that would unravel the truth behind the legends. While others dismissed the tales as mere fantasy, Brann believed that there was more to them than met the eye.

"And when I find the shadows of the legendary lord," Brann continued, his words infused with determination, "I hope that one day I can be a great scholar and to know more about its secrets.

For Brann, the pursuit of knowledge was not just a passion; it was a calling. He longed to uncover the hidden truths of the world, to shine a light on the darkness that lurked in the shadows. And as he gazed out at the vast expanse of mountains and sea stretching before him, he knew that his journey had only just begun.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Brann closed his journal and stood up from his seat by the window. The world awaited, full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled and secrets waiting to be revealed.

And with each step he took, Brann moved closer to unlocking the truth behind the legends and becoming the scholar he had always dreamed of being.
