Leck's Childhood

A piercing scream filled the quiet villagers ears. Many of the villagers stopped what they were doing and gathered around the tiny hut. Inside the woman stood standing by a young boy. The woman was crying and as the young boy turned toward the crowd people gasped, some even screamed at the sight. Soon word spread across the village. People were afraid not knowing what to do. His mother pushed him out the hut and told him to leave, and never come back. As young as he was the boy didn’t understand, he thought his mother was abandoning him. So the boy turned and fled the village while the villagers turned back toward their work; knowing that this town is not cursed anymore. This boy was not welcome to this village anymore for a reason that he was born with.


As the young boy ran he wondered what was so bad about him that his mother sent him away. He reached the next village and decided to find somewhere to rest and work. The villagers gasped a the sight of him and the boy still did not know why. The boy yelled to a village boy,“ Show me what’s wrong with me!” and the villager obeyed as if in a trance. When the village boy came back he held up a piece of smooth glass to the boy’s face. As the boy looked at his reflection and recoiled as if he got hit in the stomach. He put and hand to his face and cried knowing that no one would welcome him, because of his eyes. One was gray and the other was red. He now knew why his mother sent him away, because he was Graced. He knew what to do, he must change his name so he could not be found again. His name was Leck.

After a few years in the small village of Monsea, Leck has found out his Grace. Leck now knows that the Grace he has allows him to control people’s minds. For him to be able to be seen without nervous glances, he has made himself an eye patch. Then he went to the king and queen of Monsea. The royal people had pity for him and since they did not have a child of their own, they took him in. As Leck grew older he was controlling the king and queens minds. When one day he killed them and made it look like an accident. Leck pretended to grieve for them when he was happy for himself because now he has the crown.
