The Peak of Dawn

The night faded and a new day dawned on the continent of Avalon. Renault stood in the courtyard of the family estate, the morning sun shining on him, bringing a touch of warmth. There was no longer yesterday's confusion in his eyes, but a kind of firmness and expectation.

"Renault, where did you go last night?" A familiar voice came from behind. Renault turned around and saw Alex walking towards him with a hint of concern on his face.

"Alex, good morning." Renault smiled slightly, his tone calm and natural.

Alex walked up to him and looked him up and down, as if looking for something different. He frowned and said, "You don't look like you'... anymore."

"Really?" Renaud smiled and didn't elaborate. He already has a new goal in mind, and this goal, he doesn't want to tell anyone easily.

"Forget it, you've always been like this." Alex sighed and patted Renault on the shoulder, "Don't take yesterday's events to heart, I know you're not that kind of person." "

Renaud nodded, looking at Alex gratefully. Alex is one of his few best friends and never leaves him even when he is down.

"Let's go, let's go have breakfast." Alex turned and walked towards the manor's dining room, Renault following him, silently thinking about his next plan.

After breakfast, Renaud went alone to the back garden of the estate, where there was a secluded corner and his favorite place. He took out the Book of Dawn from his bosom, turned the first page, and stared at the quaint line of words again:

"The power of dawn comes from the heart, and only those who have firm beliefs can awaken."

"...Firm in faith," Renault repeated in a low voice, a twinkle in his eye. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Yesterday, I am dead." He silently thought in his heart, "From today onwards, I will find myself again." "

Renault slowly sat down cross-legged and placed the Book of Daybreak on his lap. Following the instructions in the book, he began to adjust his breathing, feeling the flow of breath in his body. His heart is full of anticipation for the future, but also full of unwillingness to the past.

"I'm not going to give up." He swore in his heart.

Time passed imperceptibly, and Renaud was completely immersed in cultivation. He felt the breath in his body gradually become active, as if there was a warm force flowing slowly through his body. He tried to channel this force and make it form a cycle in his body.

"Is this the power of Daybreak?" Renault was thrilled. However, just as he was about to touch that power, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, making him can't help but snort.

"What's going on?" Renault opened his eyes and found that a faint golden light appeared on his palm, and the light seemed to contain some kind of powerful power. He looked at his hand in amazement, his heart full of doubts.

"It's ... The awakening of the power of dawn? He whispered to himself, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. Renaud jerked back to see Lilith standing there, a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Renault, are you alright?" Lilith walked quickly to him and asked with concern.

"I ... I'm fine. Renault smiled slightly, trying to hide his surprise. He glanced down at the golden light on his palm and saw that the light had gradually dissipated.

"What were you cultivating just now?" Lilith looked at the Book of Dawn in Renault's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "This is the Book of Daybreak?" "

Renaud nodded, with some doubts in his heart: "How do you know about this book?" "

Lilith smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in her eyes: "I am a descendant of the elven race, and we elves have a special perception of light magic. There is a powerful power of light in this book, and I can feel it. "

Renault's heart was shocked, he had never thought that Lilith would be a descendant of the elves. He asked in a low voice, "Do you know what this book is about?" "

Lilith shook her head, "I don't know the specifics, but I can feel the power of it." Reno, this book is important to you, right? "

Renaud nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Yes, it is the key to my getting back on my feet." "

Lilith smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and gently held Renault's hand: "I believe in you, Renault." Whatever you need, I've got your back. "

Renault's heart warmed, he raised his head, looked at Lilith's clear eyes, and his heart was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Lilith." "

Lilith smiled and didn't say anything more. She knew that Renault had already made her decision, and that she would always be there for him.

The sun shone on Renault's body, and his palms once again shimmered with a faint golden light. He closed his eyes and felt the flow of power. He knew that this was only the beginning of the awakening of the power of dawn, and that there was still a long way to go.

"I'll get back on my feet." Renaud silently swore in his heart, "For myself, and for those who believe in me." "

Under the sun, Renault's figure looks particularly firm, as if he is no longer the ridiculed "waste", but a strong man with infinite possibilities.
