Shadow on the Horizon

Stories are told so the light will shine. Always black and white. Always the hero and the villain.
But what if there was a change: What if there were more colors than just black and white? What if the evil had good in them? What if there was a purpose behind all the criminal deeds? What if there was a story where the evil is not actually evil? What if there was a story told by a criminal that came to be known as a story told by a hero?
This is that story, a great tale of adventure and chaos. Someone known as a criminal became the world's greatest hero. How somebody who was despised by all became the person everybody wanted to be.
This story begins off in a land where magic resides. Those who are born with it are either treated like royalty or like criminals; gifted till their dying days or hunted down as if they killed thousands. Those who gain it through items are thought of as the wisest among humankind and praised for being born with great luck. Those who have no ability to use this great power are treated like rivers, only there to provide food and give all it has.

This is a story of a boy. A boy who was once thought to be as worthless as dirt. A boy who took a stand and came to use the greatest magic to ever be known. This boy has a name that will forever be remembered as the greatest wizard in history.
