The sun slowly sank below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant shades of orange and purple. In a small cottage by the sea, a grandfather cozily settled by the fireplace shared a story with his grandson, one intertwined with legend and mystery. The boy, with wide-open eyes, listened to every word as if enchanted.

"Here, my grandson, is the whole story about Hans," the grandfather said, his voice filled with wisdom and sorrow. "He was a great artist and magician who once freed himself from his chains. But, as you know, his freedom cost him everything. Now he has become part of the waters, and his power is sealed in an artifact known as the Grous."

The grandson, seemingly unaware of the warning about the tragedy, interrupted his grandfather: "But, Grandpa, I want to be the strongest and travel! I want to obtain the Grous artifact, the power of Hans that was sealed in the depths of the seas! My goal is to acquire six mythical artifacts!"

The grandfather smiled gently at his grandson. "Alright, my boy, but remember, you can only set out on your journey when you turn 15. For now, you must train."

"But why 15?" the boy asked, his curiosity boundless.

"Because at that age, you will understand what it means to be not only strong but also wise. It is dangerous to travel the seas as a pirate. This is not just a game," the grandfather said, his voice turning serious. "You need to know that strength without wisdom can lead to destruction."

The grandson nodded, but a fire burned in his eyes. He dreamed of adventures, of great battles, and of becoming a legend like Hans. "I will train, Grandpa! I will become strong, and no one will be able to stop me!"

"I believe in you," the grandfather replied, his heart swelling with pride for his grandson, but he also knew that dangers awaited at every turn. "But remember: every path has its dark sides. You must be ready for anything."

With these words, the grandfather concluded his tale, but in the boy's heart, a dream had already taken root, one that would not fade. He envisioned himself on the vast seas, with artifacts in hand, wielding a power that would protect him and his friends.

Time flew, and days turned into months. The boy trained, honing his skills, dreaming of distant journeys and encounters with mythical creatures. He knew his time had not yet come, but deep down, he felt that one day he would be the one to change the course of history, just like Hans.
