A son forgotten fanfiction
2024-07-25
The story begins unassumingly, in the quiet corner of an old forgotten town named Eventide. The town's history runs deep with many a tale, but none as whispered about as Gabriel, the boy once cast aside and left forgotten.
Stories sing about the boy's unusual birth, of his mother bequeathing him with a medallion of moonstone before vanishing, never to be seen again. Locals whisper that the family was cursed, the medallion a symbol of their doom.
Chapter Two: The Unlikely Guardian
Gabriel was left with Cairo, a once great knight turned blacksmith with a heart grizzled by past battles. Cairo was a man folded so many times by hardship that he barely resembled the man he once was. However, he was warm and kind to Gabriel, treating the boy like his own son, never making him feel forgotten.
But Cairo guarded a secret, a promise he made to Gabriel's mother. The truth about the medallion he wore around his neck and the past it held. Cairo knew the boy must never learn the truth but as Gabriel grew older, it became harder to keep the secret.
Chapter Three: Uncovering the Truth
One fateful night, Gabriel stumbled upon Cairo's private manuscripts much to the latter's dismay. Gabriel was drawn to the tale of the legendary moonstone medallion, a tale that strangely mirrored his own past.
The realization cracked something wide open within him. The thirst for truth scorched his insides, whittling away at his heart until he was left in search of answers. Filled with anger and betrayal, Gabriel confronted Cairo, triggering an intense falling out between the two.
