Chapter 2 - Julian

"Julian" That seems to be my name.

My earlier assumption about the warm woman being my mother is most likely correct. I wonder about it while I was placed in a cradle.

From the brief moment I had with her, I had sensed that she is very different from the bastard I called a father.

I wondered what kind of world am I in right now.

From the brief moments I was out of the cradle and carried by my mother through the village we live in, I see that this world looks like a fantasy world. I see humans with cat ears, humans with lizard tails and many more strange things that are not in my previous world. Such as people using what I assume is magic in daily life.

I see a tall white tower South of my mother's home.

8 years has passed since my birth.

It's strange having a mother like her, Farnese Schwartz. That's her name from what I heard the villagers were calling her.

She's a pretty respected person in the village, her kind heart and her talent in magic is very valued here.

I doesn't know much about my father, I heard from passing villagers that my father was a soldier.

Nothing more.

I learn how to read from books my mother has in her room.

It's mostly geographical books about the four kingdoms.

Vallkia, Interissa, Sogeon, and Tavvri.

The kingdom I currently resides in is called Vallkia. The land of the sun.

It's a kingdom mostly consisting of plains and tall mountains.

The capital, the city of the sun. Is at the top of one of the tallest mountains in the kingdom.

The village where I live however is in a rural area far East of the capital.

After I was done reading the first book, I go to place the book back on top of the desk and read something else.

I saw a book titled ways to use magic. Which I didn't bother to read because somehow I can't sense magic.

I walk out of my mother's room and walk to the breakfast my mother has made on the kitchen table before she left.

It is a simple stew and two slices of breads.

After eating, I go to look at a mirror in my room.

My appearance is similar to my mother.

I have short black hair with her warm red eyes.

At sundown. My mother finally got back from work.

"Hello my dear, are you done reading for today?" She said to me, a warm smile on her face.

"I have mother" I said, looking at her.

I was about to ask her about why I couldn't sense magic but decided that she's too tired to be given another problem.
