On clear nights, when the Mediterranean wind caressed the white walls of Alexandria, and the light of the Lighthouse shone across the sea like a star lowered to earth, the old sailors used to tell a story.They said that each generation has a child chosen by destiny.A child who carries on the light of those who came before him.And at that time, in the great city of knowledge, there was already such a child.In the harbor stood the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the tireless watchman of the seas.Its huge flame burned as it did decades ago, when an orphan boy slept among the goods on the quays and looked to the light with hope.That boy was Nikandros Theodoros.The child who had lost everything.The child who had found shelter in the shadow of the Lighthouse.The child who became an architect.He was still the barefoot boy from the harbor.He had become one of Alexandria's most respected builders.Together with his wife, Aurelia Varro, he had built the city's new Library.Together they had turned a dream into stone, marble and knowledge.But their greatest creation was not the Library.It was not the house they had built.A new beginning.In their house near the harbor, the windows were open to the sea.Every evening, the light of the Lighthouse penetrated the rooms and reflected on the walls like a silent blessing.Aurelia used to look at that light and smile.And Nikandros was already imagining the day when he would hold his child in his arms.He wondered what he would look like.What would he dream of.What path would he choose.
