The silent Colossus
Title: The Silent Colossus Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Psychological Thriller Plot Overview: In the realm of Karanthia, an ancient prophecy speaks of a hero born with powers surpassing that of gods, capable of shaping the world's fate. This individual, Lydan, is a quiet and unassuming farmer who discovers his immense abilities after an accidental encounter with a dark sorcerer terrorizing his village. Lydan possesses a power that enables him to bend the laws of nature: controlling time, manipulating matter, summoning storms, and even bending reality itself. Though initially unaware of the full extent of his abilities, a near-death experience against the sorcerer reveals his hidden strength, effortlessly overpowering him. However, the rush of power leaves Lydan conflicted, filled with doubt, and afraid of what he might become if he lets his powers control him. • Lydan: Stoic, reluctant, and deeply compassionate at his core. His journey is about understanding balance-how much power to use without losing who he is. He wrestles with loneliness and isolation, aware that he can no longer live a simple life but equally afraid of becoming a tyrant. The novel leaves an open-ended question: is true power about exerting control, or is it about knowing when to step away?Complete

And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on.

After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations.
