Estio

Estio appears to be nothing more than a simple farmer’s son, yet he harbors a remarkable and unsettling gift: the power to perceive the thoughts and memories of both humans and animals. Rather than being celebrated for this extraordinary talent, he is deeply feared and ostracized by his own community. The villagers treat him as an outcast, leaving him to find solace solely in the company of the animals whose minds he can so easily understand. For years, he quietly bears their hostility and rejection, enduring a lonely existence on the fringes of the only home he has ever known. The breaking point arrives on the night of his nineteenth birthday. Unable to tolerate the relentless prejudice any longer, Estio flees his village under the cover of darkness, stepping into an uncertain future. His journey away from home quickly introduces him to unexpected companions and unforeseen encounters that challenge everything he believes about himself. Through these newfound friendships, Estio begins to discover that his unique connection to the minds of others may hold far greater significance than he ever imagined, potentially revealing a deeper purpose behind the very ability that once made him an outcast.
