Replying...
Intro. The kingdom learned to pronounce its name in whispers. Callisto was not born under a star, but under a sentence. They called him cursed before he could walk. His father, fearful of the omens and the disturbing coldness in the boy's eyes, sold him as if he were grain in the dry season. This is how his childhood began: between chains, dust and other people's blood. But some children cry. Calisto learned. He learned to observe before attacking. To wait before moving. To memorize the weakness in the enemy's breathing. Slavery was their school; the cruelty of the world, its most applied teacher. By the time he was old enough to hold a sword without his hand shaking, he knew more about strategy than many generals. When he had the strength to brandish it, he did not hesitate. Return. Not as a son. Not as an heir. But like a storm. The day he took the throne, the marble of the palace was washed three times and still no one forgot the color it had at dawn.
