P.O.V. Third

A male with black hair and a single green eye was walking through the halls of his house. This male could be labeled as a little unusual as he was missing both his left eye and left arm. As he walked he heard a slight chuckle and smiled as he looked into his daughters room. He saw that she was getting ready to sleep and walked in. When he did his daughter looked at him and smiled.

"So how was your day?" The male asked as he looked at the younger female in front of him.

"It was great!" The female said excitedly as she looked at her father. The male smiled hearing this and looked at the young female in front of him.

"Glad to hear it," the male said looking at his daughter. The male was about to leave until he heard his daughter.

"Wait," the female said as she began to lay down on her bed. The male then turned to look at the female and she smiled. "Will you tell me a story?" The female asked looking at her father. The male nodded hearing this and walked over to her bed.

"Of course," the male said as he began to sit in the small chair beside his daughters bed. "So which story would you like to hear tonight?" The male asked looking at his daughter.

"I'd like to hear a new story tonight," the female said looking at her father.

"A new story?" The male asked looking at the female.

"Yeah, a new story, one that you haven't told me before," the female said looking up at her father. The male closed his eye and began to think hearing this. After a few moments the male opened his eye and looked at the female.

"I only have one story left that you haven't heard before, but . . ." The male began as he looked away. "It's a rather sad story," the male said as he once again turned his attention to the male.

"A sad story?" The female asked looking up at her father.

"Yeah, it's a sad story. So I understand if you don't want to hear it," the male said hoping to discourage his daughter.

"No, No! I want to hear it!" The female said looking at her father. The male mentally sighed hearing this he had hoped to keep this story a secret a little longer, yet at the same time he knew that he'd eventually have to tell her. The male then sighed and looked at his daughter.

"A long time ago there was a small village outside of the Canopy Kingdom. In this town there was a cult that believed that from the moment humans are born there is evil inside of them. So to cleanse themselves they had decided that they would "push all evil" into a single person. They thought that after that, regardless of what they did they could never be evil. This childish theory is what they believed. So it had been decided that the next child thay was born in the town would become the "vessel" and that they would become the source of evil," the male said looking at his daughter.

The female seemed a little confused hearing this but not wanting to interrupt her father nodded and continued to listen to his story. "Shortly after this had been decided a woman became pregnant and gave birth to a male with pure white hair and bright vivid purple eyes. This male was no more special than you or me, however the mother disliked the idea of parenting the "source of all evil" so much that she had completely abandoned the child. As a result the child was born without a name and was left behind. So from the moment the child was born he was cursed, ridiculed, beat, tortured, and blamed for nearly everything that happened in the town," the male said as he looked at his daughter.

"But that's-" the female began only to stop seeing the expression on her fathers face.

"He repeatedly asked why they did this to him, and repeatedly asked what he had done wrong so that he could attempt to fix it. He never received an answer and without knowing the reason for their hatred and never being allowed to leave the town the child-" The male began only to get cut off by his daughter.
