Since I was very young, I have often had a dream.
In my dream, there is a world full of golden holy light. There is no blue sky, no earth, no trees and forests, no streams and oceans, there is only light.
That year, when I was five years old, a monster whose face I couldn't see clearly came into my dream.
Yes, monster, maybe I can call him that.
Because he looks different from Lordaeron and any human in Azeroth.
There are sharp long horns on his forehead, a crocodile-like tail behind him, and hard iron hooves under his feet. It wasn't until I grew up that I discovered that its appearance might be closer to the demons who want to destroy our star, but the holy light on him is real. That kind of warmth from the soul made me not feel particularly scared when I first met him. Of course, this may be because of my fearlessness from the soul.
"Who are you?" I asked him defensively at that time.
"I'm Ophilos." His voice was like muffled thunder, and his laughter was even more like that, making the world with only light tremble. "How are you? Are you so scared that you want to pee your pants? Boy?"
"I didn't!" I replied angrily, clenching my fists tightly, "I am Darion Mograine, the son of Lord Alexandros Mograine! I have never... never not afraid!"
"Hahahaha! A 'fearless' little wolf! Hey! Stop shaking your legs!" Ofilos laughed. Suddenly, he bent down towards me, "Listen, little wolf, do you want to let yourself, Well, looks more different? I mean, dazzling?"
His words made me confused, "...what?"
"I mean, um, do you want me to teach you a little bit of Holy Light magic?"
"Can you teach me Holy Light Magic?!" His words made my breathing become chaotic with excitement.
I once saw my father perform holy light magic. When the golden light flashed past, an entire pack of Eastern wolves collapsed in front of him. If I could do that, my father would definitely praise me fiercely, and my brother Reno would also open his mouth in surprise!
"You know Holy Light Magic?!"
"I am the messenger of the Holy Light, boy, and your soul happens to be perfectly integrated with the Holy Light..."
"I studied!"
"Well, not bad. However, my requirements are very strict..."
"I studied!"
"Hey, don't be so hasty, let's..."
"I'll learn now!"
From then on, every time I fell into a dream, I would always be pushed forward by Ofilos. To this day, I still remember the pain when the sharp needle made of holy light in his hand pierced my arm.
To be honest, the enlightenment of magic is very confusing, and I don't seem to be the kind of person who is born with magical talent. For at least half a year, I was unable to direct the operation of my magic core.
Maybe it was because I was too tired in the dream, but during the day, I was always in low spirits, which made Renault laugh at me fiercely. I swore that I would make him dislocate his jaw!
"My child, you look a little bad." My father said to me one day, when he was teaching me to wield the sword with Renault.
The weapon in my hand fell to the ground when I dozed off, "Sorry, father. I, I'm just a little sleepy."
I clearly remember my father touching my head and saying, "Go to sleep, kid."
Those words made me feel like I was forgiven. I immediately threw away the sword and ran towards the room. However, my father’s long sigh came from behind me, “Reno!” He shouted from the other side of the wall, “From now on, you Be sure to take good care of your brother."
"Don't worry, father! I can use a sword now!"
"I'm proud of you, son."
I was stunned when I just climbed into bed, and the next second, I lost all sleep. I secretly made up my mind that I must learn Holy Light Magic as soon as possible so that my father can be proud of me.

When I was seven years old, I performed my first powerful magic, which Orpheus called Lay on Hands.
I used it to revive a dying snowshoe rabbit. Well, see clearly, it was a rescue from the edge of death, not a simple thing like treating a wound!
When I showed off this magic to my father, I saw his eyes light up like a magic lamp, and Renault also opened his mouth as I expected, and even forgot to wipe away the snot that flowed into his mouth!
"I'm proud of you, my child!" I remember my father's palms rubbing my head hard, which was very warm. "I will hire a famous teacher for you, and he will guide you until you become a great teacher." An outstanding Holy Light Priest."
I bared my teeth at Renault proudly.
"I can also learn Holy Light Magic! Father!" After receiving my gaze, Renault protested dissatisfiedly, "I also want to learn Holy Light Magic!"
"Reno! You must practice your sword skills! Once on the battlefield, you must protect your brother. His magic can save more people!"
My famous teacher's name was Alonsos Fao. A few days later, he came to Nanhai Town, my family's manor.
When he walked into the house from the pouring rain, I even saw threads of holy light emanating from his body uncontrollably.
"The body is a little weak, but he possesses extremely powerful power of Holy Light." That was the first thing he said to his father after seeing us. "His power of Holy Light is not even inferior to you, Your Excellency, the Great Lord. "
That sentence made his father's face reveal a look of pride that could not be concealed.
"But I don't think he needs me to be his teacher." Alonsus looked at me up and down with his golden eyes, and said with a smile. At that moment, I felt that he had seen through my eyes. Soul, I couldn't help but hide behind my father.
"Huh?" Father was stunned.
"Great Lord, this child has his own opportunities, and you and I should not interfere." Alonsus continued, and he narrowed his eyes. "I believe that he must shoulder an important mission in the future."
*
I don't know what the important mission Alonsus is talking about, but I found that Orpheus was missing. During the six months since he disappeared, my holy light magic has continued to improve. After reciting the prayer, my consecration magic can burn the ground with a radius of one meter into scorched earth.
"Hey! Boy!" One day, he broke into my dream again, still the same, with a loud voice and a smile that made the whole world tremble.
"Ophelos! Where have you been?!"
"Well," he sat down next to me and rubbed his fingers, "I went to fight the devils, and it was very enjoyable."
There was silence.
His silence made me a little uneasy, "...then? Are you injured?"
"Are you kidding me!" he shouted, but soon became quiet again, "Well, actually, I am indeed injured. I won't be able to come for a long time. Maybe I won't be able to see you until you die of old age. It’s my turn.”
I opened my mouth, but no words came out. I stared at him, my heart full of reluctance, and my nose began to feel sore.
He coughed dryly, "Don't look at me like that, kid. I was thrown into the torrent of time by a ruthless person. Do you know the torrent of time? It's a hellish place that's easy to get in and hard to get out of. If I weren't so powerful, I would have to Embrace the Holy Light inside... Ahem... I have to find a place to lick my wounds." As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and looked at me. Although I couldn't see his face clearly, I just felt that he was there. He looked at me and smiled maliciously, "Boy, I saw something interesting in the stream of time. Do you want to know?"
"……What?"
He laughed dryly twice and drew a stroke in the air. Suddenly, a picture scroll with snowflakes unfolded out of thin air. In the picture scroll, there was only a pair of slightly closed eyes, with gem-like tears flowing from them, "I love you, Dallion." .”
I was stunned, "She, she's talking to me?!"
"Yes, this is your future."
"But who is she?! She, she doesn't look like my mother!"
Ophilos looked at me carefully, and suddenly burst into laughter that shook the world, "Hahahaha! I guess it's your wife! Boy! Remember these eyes carefully and don't do anything to disgrace the little girl! Hahahahaha! !”
"What, what, what?! I've never seen her..."
"We will meet one day!" Ofilos patted my shoulder, which almost made me fall apart. However, suddenly, his hard palm penetrated my body. It was only then that I was shocked to find that he was dissipating, leaving only a shadow.
"Ophelos!"
"I have to go, kid... Oh, this wound really hurts... You have to practice every day! Don't be lazy! Remember?!"
