Ethan's first years with his parents were filled with love and care. His parents, Elizabeth and Ethan, cherished their first-born child and did everything in their power to provide for him. They lived in a small village surrounded by the beautiful countryside, where the only magic to be seen was in the form of the occasional spell cast by the village healer.

Ethan grew up surrounded by the love of his parents, and as he approached his fifth birthday, his parents were thrilled to welcome a new member to their family. Catherine, Ethan's younger sister, was born and brought even more joy and love into the family's life.

Despite his young age, Ethan was a curious and adventurous boy, always eager to explore and learn about the world around him. He spent most of his days playing outside, running through fields and climbing trees. When he wasn't playing, he would often be found sitting in the village square, watching the healer cast spells and wishing he could do the same.

As Catherine grew, Ethan became more and more enamored with magic. He would watch in awe as the healer cast spells to heal the sick, and he longed to be able to do the same. He would often ask his parents about magic, and they would tell him that it was something only the chosen few could do.

Despite the discouraging words from his parents, Ethan refused to give up on his dream of becoming a great magic swordsman. He would spend hours practicing with a stick, imagining it was a magic sword, and pretending to cast spells.

Years went by, and Ethan grew up to be a strong and determined young man. He still dreamt of becoming a great magic swordsman, and he refused to let anyone tell him that it was impossible. And so, when the time came for Ethan to leave home and start his journey to become an archmage, he set out with a determined heart and a thirst for knowledge.
