In each family there are different traditions, from the simplest to the most elaborate, all with different purposes and rewards, some do not have or have been left aside over time. The Castelia family is no exception when it comes to traditions.

The Castelia family has the custom that at the age of 22, any firstborn must carry a candle to an altar, and now it is the turn of Nathaniel Castelia who believes that it is too absurd and easy a mission. Well, that mentality will change upon hearing that if he successfully completes it, he would be the first to complete it after his father and aunt.

Nothing is easy when it comes to protection, and even more if behind that tradition is hidden... the greatest betrayal.

The Castelia tradition

Tired of what was happening to me, only to cause me pain and regrets for whatever they are punishing me for, I let myself submit on the floor and remained motionless because of the hand that was on my head. 


I remained silent as I heard footsteps approaching next to the scream of two men, but strangely, my heart jumped with excitement at hearing one of them. 


— A... a...—. I mumbled trying to remember what I wanted to shout or who I wanted to call but a hand covered my mouth and slowly I felt like the weight on my head was starting to lighten. 


Cautiously I got up from the floor and looked at my companion, those blue hair and that jet look made me trust him a little although I felt a slight discomfort even without knowing why. If he had clearly done nothing to me but help me hide, or so I intuited when I saw how his gaze was directed in all directions. When we finally stopped hearing the voices, he helped me to my feet and took me by the arm.
