In the Walker household, Elma was diligently caring for Lily, who had just turned one year old. Gently, she checked Lily's temperature and offered her warm milk, ensuring that the baby was comfortable and sleeping soundly.After Lily had fallen asleep, Elma continued with the chores, washing dishes before sitting down in front of the television. Exhausted, she eventually drifted off to sleep.In her dreams, Elma saw a young girl with blonde hair, looking radiant yet distressed. The child appeared to be crying in the middle of a dark forest. Elma tried to reach the girl, but she moved further away with every step. As the girl vanished, Elma was abruptly awakened by Lily's cries.Rushing to Lily’s room, Elma asked softly, “What’s wrong, sweetie?” She picked Lily up and held her close, guessing that the baby might be missing her parents who were still in the hospital.It was late into the night by the time Elma had managed to soothe Lily back to sleep. As Elma prepared to return to bed h

As the sun began to set, the Walker family gathered in the living room. Aria, feeling more at ease in this new environment, sat on one of the sofas while Evan, Maria, Daniel, and Elma surrounded her. They planned to discuss their next steps.“So, Aria,” Maria began gently, “we’ve heard about the situation you’re facing. But we’d like to understand more about what happened and how we can help.”Aria nodded, looking at Maria with eyes still showing anxiety. “I know it might be hard to believe, but the people who were chasing me have very dark and powerful abilities. They’re after me because of this arrow,” she said, pointing to the relic she carried. “I’ve seen their own power, and they seem to have magical abilities.”Daniel, who had always been skeptical of things that couldn’t be explained scientifically, looked at Aria with doubt. “Magic? That sounds like fiction. We live in the real world, not in a novel.”Elma bit her lip, trying to recall if there was any logical explanation for

The morning light filtered softly through the curtains of the Walker household. Evan had been up early, his mind racing with thoughts about the previous night's events. Aria’s presence and the revelation of her magical abilities had stirred a new determination within him. He had made up his mind to learn more about magic, and the only person who could help him was Aria. Evan had decided that he needed to keep his newfound interest in magic and his own abilities a secret. He didn’t want to alarm his parents or create more concern than necessary. Thus, he approached Aria with a carefully crafted plan. After breakfast, Evan found Aria alone in the living room, quietly drawing with crayons. Evan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat beside her.“Hey, Aria,” Evan began, trying to sound casual. “I’ve been thinking... I know you can do magic, and I was wondering if you could teach me a bit.”Aria looked up, her blue eyes wide with surprise. “You want to learn magic?”Evan nodded

As time passed, Aria and Evan's abilities continued to develop. They felt increasingly comfortable and secure during their training, but the threat from outside drew closer without their awareness. Victor, who was secretly monitoring Aria and Evan, began planning his next steps to obtain the two relics that he had previously been unable to acquire.Meanwhile, Evan was pleased with his progress. He checked his status window, which showed significant improvements in his abilities and power. Evan's status window at that time was as follows:Name: Evan Theodore Walker (9 years old) Class: - Titles: 3/3 - Steel Heart (Permanently increases all status points by 5) - Helper of District 37 (Increases affinity with District 37 residents) - Animal Lover (Increases the chance of taming animals by 2 points) - Light of Arcadia (All status increases by 10 points when fighting enemies with dark attributes) Level: 12 Experience: 80 (120 experience points needed to reach Level 13) He

On a secluded island named Vesperia Isle, Evan and his family finally docked after a tense journey. The island was peaceful and sheltered, far from the threats they had left behind on the mainland. The serene atmosphere of the island welcomed them warmly, and they were greeted by Daniel, an old friend of Evan’s father, who had been waiting for their arrival.Daniel, a middle-aged man with a friendly smile and caring demeanor, welcomed the Walker family with open arms. “Welcome to Vesperia Isle,” Daniel said. “I’m so glad you’ve arrived safely. This island will be a safe place for you for now.”Evan looked around and felt a sense of relief at the island's beauty. The lush green surroundings and fresh air made him feel a little more at ease after the recent trials. Aria also seemed more relaxed, enjoying the tranquil environment far from the dangers that had threatened them before.That evening, after a hearty dinner and some casual conversation, Evan’s father, Daniel, and Liam sat toge
