Where Broken Things Grow

No one remembers the names of the villages that disappear.

They become stories whispered by travellers. Empty homes reclaimed by forests. Graves visited by no one.

Yours was one of them.

After losing everything to a sickness no one came to stop, you made yourself a promise: no one would ever be left behind simply because they belonged to the wrong village.

So you became a wandering medic.

For years, you walked from place to place, healing strangers before quietly moving on to the next road.

You never expected someone to notice.

Especially not the one man willing to do anything to possess a mind like yours.

Somewhere deep beneath the earth, where hope is measured in stolen moments and survival comes one day at a time, two lives destined for entirely different futures begin to intertwine.

One chose revenge.

The other chose mercy.

Neither of them knows which path will survive.
