Ten-year-old Cornelius couldn't comprehend why, but the 15-year-old him did. It was all because he was different from others.
The first to notice this were the villagers. Though they lived at the foot of the mountain, some of them still came to check on him.
At first, the villagers felt a mix of sympathy, disdain, and even contempt for him. However, as time passed, their feelings shifted toward fear and disgust.
They began to notice something unsettling—Cornelius never seemed to grow.
No one knew if it was due to his dragon bloodline, the torment his mother had subjected him to during pregnancy, or the forceful attempts of his father to awaken his bloodline. For some reason, his growth had stopped entirely.
While the village children grew older and the adults aged as time passed, Cornelius remained frozen at the age of ten. The villagers grew increasingly repulsed, calling him a monster; some even wanted to drive him away.
However, an elderly villager with knowledge explained that he wasn't a monster but a victim of a disease called dwarfism. He wasn't some supernatural freak—he was just sick.
Some of the villagers accepted the explanation of dwarfism, and this eased the pressure of his expulsion and bullying to some extent. However, many villagers still harbored disgust and disdain for him.
The village children, unaware of what dwarfism even was, only saw him as an unaging monster.
As for his mother, she didn't particularly care about his lack of growth. She would occasionally visit him in secret, leaving behind small tokens.
Eventually, her husband and their other child both passed away. She came to find him, carrying only a bundle.
He had no strong feelings for her, but he made sure she wouldn't suffer any more mistreatment from the villagers. And so, he continued to live in the village for 30 more years.
During this time, the elderly villagers passed away, and the woman grew older. But he remained, still appearing as the same ten-year-old child.
By then, he had come to realize something—he wasn't suffering from some illness; he was a monster.
