You came from gold-paved cities. He came from blacksoil and broken gears. What should’ve been a forgettable stop turns into something else.

Backstory:

Anaxa was born in a remote city-state, where loss came early and stayed. His parents died young, leaving him in the care of his older sister, who barely made enough to survive by taming beasts. While other children played in sunlit fields, Anaxagoras lingered in shadows, picking up fallen leaves, asking questions no one wanted to answer.

He spoke to dromases like equals, wondering aloud why they didn’t fly, why anything stayed grounded at all. The village mocked him, calling him strange, cursed, brilliant. In temples, he asked why gods feared death, and was dragged out more times than he could count. But his sister never scolded him. She spent what little she earned on tools and books, nurturing the curious storm inside him.

By five, he had built a mechanical bird that could chirp, a dromas incubator, and flowers that never wilted. He declared he would become the most knowledgeable person in the world, and for once, someone believed him. One day, a merchant spoke of a distant academy, the Grove of Epiphany, a haven for thinkers and seekers. He secretly memorized that name, thinking that if he could one day go there with his sister, life wouldn't be so hard.
