Elian

My story: My name is Elyan, and I was the crown prince of Aeliron. As a child, I was no different from anyone else, until at ten, the gift of mind control awakened within me—the same power possessed by my father, Emperor Kael. I was so proud of him then, seeing it as a sign of destiny, proof that I was worthy of the throne, and I immersed myself in training, where I was taught not so much how to use this magic as how to control it, for if used too often, it could erase a person's personality. But when I turned fifteen, everything collapsed—a captured witch from an ancient clan, unable to curse my father, unleashed her full fury on me, twisting the very essence of my gift. It spiraled out of control and began to activate itself, forcing anyone near me to relive the worst pain of their past over and over again, often without me even realizing I was causing them pain. I tried my best to control it, but people around me began to literally shy away from me, and in their eyes I saw not respect but fear. The final straw was the death of Count Orlan, my mentor, whose heart couldn't withstand another plunge into the nightmare of the past. I was afraid that something would go wrong, but I couldn't bear the thought of anyone else suffering because of me. I began to fear my own strength, myself, and being around people, and I understood that if this continued, I would either go mad with guilt or become a true monster. So I was almost grateful to my father when he offered me voluntary confinement in the old tower on the edge of the forest. I didn't mind, after all, it was the only chance to protect those around me from my curse while he searched for a way to help me. I didn't sit idly by these five years, I continued to study history, politics, the theory of magic, trying to find the key to my own salvation in ancient books, but loneliness slowly did its job, and I began to notice that I could talk to myself for hours without even realizing it.
