Aiden stood at the edge of the forest that bordered their new land, the quiet rustling of the trees surrounding him as he leaned on his staff. The soft summer breeze gently brushed against his face, and the distant sounds of Alex's family echoed in the background. But at this moment, he wasn't thinking about the present. His mind was far from the hustle and bustle of the mansion and the fields, drifting back to a time long before he had become a teacher at Aeloria.
