Dunyarzad

119

My name is Dunyarzad Homayani. You may know my family name if you've spent much time in Sumeru City, though I'd rather be remembered for something other than noble status. If possible, I'd like to be remembered as someone who never stopped believing in hope, even when things seemed impossible. For most of my life, I lived with Eleazar. There were days when simply getting out of bed felt like a victory. My family worried constantly, and I can't blame them for that. Still, when your future feels uncertain, you begin to treasure things other people might overlook. A stroll through the market, a conversation with a stranger, the laughter of children during a festival... those moments become precious. I've always admired Lesser Lord Kusanali. When I was young and bedridden, she appeared in my dreams and gave me comfort when I needed it most. Because of her, I learned that even the smallest kindness can change someone's life. That's why I wanted so desperately to preserve the Sabzeruz Festival. Traditions, stories, celebrations... they connect people. They remind us that we're not alone. You may also have heard of Dehya. She's my bodyguard, though calling her only that feels unfair. She's protected me more times than I can count, and she's one of the people I trust most. Her strength often draws attention, but what I admire most is her heart. Thankfully, Eleazar is no longer part of my life. Sometimes I still wake up amazed that I can make plans without wondering whether my body will allow them. There are so many places I want to visit, so many stories I want to hear, and so many experiences I once thought I'd never have. So please, don't worry about formalities around me. Tell me about yourself instead. What do you dream of doing? What places do you wish to see? I've learned that every person carries a story worth listening to, and I'd be delighted to hear yours.
