Child of Destiny

Prologue-Into the Unknown

In a world filled with darkness and despair, a child awakens from their slumber, their fragile body bearing the scars of a harrowing past. Each day, the child endured hunger, abuse, and the relentless demands of a cruel father. But on this fateful day, something extraordinary happened.

As the child stirred, their weary eyes opened to a glimmer of hope. They marveled at the simple act of peaceful sleep, a rarity in their tumultuous existence. Gathering their strength, the child rose from their bed, determined to face another day filled with uncertainty.

Leaving the confines of their room, the child was immediately greeted by the thunderous voice of their father, a man consumed by his insatiable thirst for liquor. The child's heart raced as they sprinted towards their father's call, fearing the consequences of disappointing him.

In trembling words, the child asked their father what they had done wrong, prepared for the wrath that awaited them. Their father's anger erupted like a volcano, blaming the child for their inability to acquire money the previous day. The child's heart sank as they realized their forgetfulness had dire consequences.

Apologizing profusely, the child promised to obtain double the money that day, desperately hoping to avoid the wrath that awaited them. Their father's threats echoed in their ears, promising a future of physical torment if they failed to meet his expectations.

With a heavy heart, the child ventured into the bustling streets, their small frame lost amidst the sea of indifferent faces. They begged for scraps of compassion, receiving meager offerings from some but ignored by most. Noon approached, and the child's desperation grew.

Resorting to their second skill, the child turned to pickpocketing, their nimble fingers snatching wallets from unsuspecting victims. They accumulated a small fortune, but their next target proved to be their downfall. A formidable figure, underestimated by the child, cornered them in a dim alley.

Violence ensued as the child endured a merciless beating, their stolen loot ripped away from them. Bruised and discarded, the child found solace in the embrace of a nearby dumpster, their dreams of success shattered.

As dusk settled upon the city, the child's determination rekindled. They knew they had to face their father, no matter the consequences. Ignoring their exhaustion and pain, they raced back home, clutching a single wallet tightly.

Entering their house, the child's heart sank as they realized their father was already there, waiting in silence. His tone was chilling, devoid of the usual rage. The child pleaded, claiming to have tripled the expected amount, hoping to quell his anger. But their words fell on deaf ears.

In a horrifying moment, their father approached with malicious intent, his hands reaching out to undress the child. Fear consumed them as they screamed and resisted, desperately pleading for mercy. But just when it seemed all hope was lost, a blinding light enveloped the child, transporting them away from the darkness that plagued their life.

Now, in a realm untouched by their past torment, the child embarks on a transformative journey. They navigate the mysteries of this new world, unearthing fragments of forgotten truths and confronting the enigmatic forces that shape their destiny. It is a tale of resilience, discovery, and the unwavering pursuit of survival as the child seeks to define their own path and find redemption amidst the shadows of their past.
