Side Story 1: A Shift in the Present

As Lleyn left his house, Eva, his mother, sat on the sofa, her expression a mix of curiosity and hope. She had always been the one who worried most about Lleyn's future, constantly fearing he might lose his way in life. This morning, however, something had changed. His apology held a weight of sincerity she hadn't seen in him before.

Leo, Lleyn's father, leaned against the armrest of an armchair, a thoughtful smile on his face. He was a man of few words but deep wisdom, and he could sense that their son was on the cusp of something important. It was as if a storm he had long anticipated was finally brewing on the horizon.

Sera, who sat cross-legged on the floor, added her observations, her youthful optimism shining through. She adored her older brother and had always been his biggest supporter. "I asked him if he's alright," she said, "and he just smiled and said he's trying to be a better brother."

Eva's worry had transformed into something akin to hope. "I just want him to grow and mature," she admitted, her voice softening with emotion. "If he's finally taking responsibility, it's a good sign."

Leo nodded in agreement. "I know, Eva. Maybe he's turned over a new leaf, and we should encourage him on this path."

Sera, always insightful, offered her own perspective. "Maybe he's realized that he needs to be there for us, just like we've always been there for him."

Eva's heart warmed at her daughter's empathy. "You're right, Sera. We should support him in this journey of self-improvement."

With a renewed sense of understanding, Lleyn's family decided to reach out to him, to bridge the gap that had sometimes separated them. While they couldn't fully grasp the changes he was undergoing, they recognized that their support and encouragement were more important than ever.

As Lleyn ventured further down the peaceful street, making his way toward the abandoned building that held secrets from his past, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the family he had returned to. Their love and faith in him were constants in his life, and he knew that no matter how complicated his journey became, they would always be a vital part of it.

Unbeknownst to him, the challenges awaiting him in Eldoria would demand not only strength and determination but also the unwavering support and understanding of those who believed in him. The bond he shared with his family, especially his sister Sera, would serve as a wellspring of inspiration and motivation on his path to becoming a hero.

As he ventured further into the unknown, Lleyn carried with him not only the mysteries of Eldoria but also the genuine desire to grow and change for the better. It was a transformation that had begun in the present and would continue to shape his future in unexpected and extraordinary ways.

----------------------------------------

In a quiet corner of a bustling city lived an ordinary young woman. Her days followed a routine that had become second nature to her. Mornings were greeted with the soft melody of her alarm clock, its persistent chime urging her to embrace the new day.

She would rise from her cozy bed, stretching her arms above her head, a smile gracing her lips as the gentle sunlight filtered through the curtains. Her daily life revolved around simple pleasures—the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the pages of her favorite novels, and the soothing melodies that played on her record player.

She moved with grace and purpose, navigating the city's streets with an air of quiet determination. Her job, while not glamorous, provided a sense of fulfillment. She would sit behind her desk, typing away at her computer, her dedication apparent in the efficiency with which she handled her tasks.

Lunch breaks offered moments of respite, a chance to savor a homemade sandwich or indulge in a quiet walk through the nearby park. Her life was punctuated by the comings and goings of colleagues, the hum of conversations in the office, and the familiar faces she encountered on her daily commute.

Evenings brought the solace of her cozy apartment—a sanctuary where she could unwind and reflect on the day's events. She would prepare a simple dinner, the sizzle of vegetables in the pan providing a comforting backdrop to her thoughts.

As night descended, she would find solace in her reading nook, losing herself in the worlds crafted by talented authors. The outside world faded into the background as she turned the pages, transported to far-off lands and fantastical adventures.

Unbeknownst to her, the quiet rhythm of her daily life would soon be disrupted by a force beyond her imagination. The ordinary existence she had come to cherish would be thrown into chaos, and she would find herself on a path she could never have foreseen.

For now, though, she lived in blissful ignorance, finding contentment in the simplicity of her routine. She worked a late shift today, and this late-night break with a colleague was one of the highlights of her day. Little did she know that her world was about to change in ways she could never have anticipated, as destiny prepared to unveil a new chapter filled with challenges, mysteries, and the promise of the extraordinary.

“SOLAAA, BREAK IS OVER!!”

“!!.. I’m coming!”

Though the high-pitched voice of her friend brought her out of her reverie, she still stared at the crescent moon shining strongly in the dark.
