1 Crippled Servant

The owls perched on the buildings as a endless gust blew against the stars.

A city filled with crime and discrimination,

Tianlang City, a ruthless town filled with criminals and magic users alike.

Hai'er sat on a roof, wishing to meet his parents that he had lost ever so long ago.

He was a cripple. Unable to channel Astral Energy. Unable to practice magic.

He was constantly bullied, he was forced as a slave servant due to his inability to practice magic. He was unable to do anything correctly.

He wanted to be strong, he wanted to be able to change something about this evil social hierarchy. But such a weakling like him is unable to.

He was the servant of a royal family, the Li family. The strongest family in all of Tianlang City.

The Next Day...

Hai'er got up and patted his scar filled body down.

He was unable to speak. He could only communicate by expressing his emotions. Although, he never was able to communicate his emotions. He was neglected and was only even served food every week or so.

Hai'er went to his small bathroom and looked at his half broken mirror. He had to scavenge for his items.

He looked relatively fine today and he was ready for his day.

Slowly he approached the main hall. A ceremony was being held for Li Tongs wedding. He was 16 and had found a wife.

Although, he had deflowered many women, he was still a man of class. He always took the moral high ground and acted elegant.

When he was angry, he would take it out on Hai'er using his strength.

Hai'er was also crippled by him. Losing all of his magical powers.

He went through the day as usual, being beat several times, washing the dishes. Everything was all fine and dandy. Until he came across a ring. It was dull and only had tiny runes inscribed on it.

Hai'er thought it would look good on him, so he put it on.

Nothing happened, so he continued his day.

After all his work was completed, he went to his room to sleep.

He sat on his bed and nodded before going to sleep.

In his dreams, something happened.

A dark aura corroded his senses. It caused him severe pain, and caused him to lose his sense of morality. He didn't know what was going on.

He freaked out and quickly woke up.

By the time he woke it, it was the next day. Though, he felt a odd dark energy coursing through his body. He felt that it were reshaping him. And he also felt, that the ring was completely missing!
