When Sylas heard his teachers' offer to skip a grade, he hesitated for a moment. High school was not just another step for him, but also a turning point, and at that moment, he realized that this was not an early journey. There was a sense in his mind that time was passing quickly, but at the same time, he thought that there was no point in adding more responsibilities to his life. Although he was in a child's body, his soul was getting older every day.
When he talked about this with his aunt, Eleanor respected his decision and thought silently for a while. The deep world inside Sylas and the spiritual maturity that surrounded him were different from other aspects of his life. Instead of telling him what to do, Eleanor encouraged him to make the right decisions, as she always did. Finally, the two of them made a new decision together: They would travel the world.
Sylas had a large inheritance from his mother Maggie, and this did not prevent them from going on the trip. Sylas was financially independent, which gave him unlimited freedom. A child's body, which was free in many ways, had now decided to embark on a journey where it could travel, discover new cultures and learn many different languages.
His aunt Eleanor, on the other hand, was a dietician and chef, a woman who preferred a traveling life. She had made a fortune on her own, but according to her, wealth was not only about material freedom, but also about mental and spiritual freedom. As an experienced traveler, Eleanor was quite successful in choosing where to go. Sylas's travels around the world were not only an opportunity for him to see cultures, but also to paint, take photographs and transform his observations into an art form.
They had already created a route for the countries to be visited. Sylas' excitement was reflected in the preparations that lasted from early morning until night. The first country he planned to visit with his aunt was a place full of history and art. Sylas was also impatient to take advantage of this opportunity. His enthusiasm for painting and taking photographs wanted to turn these journeys into an art project. Each new culture, each new person and each new landscape would give him a different perspective.
As their journey began, Sylas felt this creative fire inside him; cameras, brushes, sketchbooks… Everything was ready. His aunt would also teach him what he needed to learn during the journey. He was sure that Eleanor would contribute a lot to Sylas in terms of healthy nutrition, spiritual balance and correct perspectives. Now they were about to step into new worlds, not just with a child's body, but as a traveler and an artist.
From now on, there was a world that would introduce Sylas to cultures he had never known. Each new country would give him a new language, a new taste, a new habit and the opportunity to meet new people. Every moment he would spend with his aunt would give him new perspectives and provide him with the most valuable teacher on his journey.
Sylas seemed to be saying goodbye to his old life, even if it was a little bit, but he had decided to learn, explore, create and use the world as a canvas to reflect his own art. Every step he took was aimed at finding himself further in this new journey and rediscovering his lost soul.
