The Assassin's Charge

You are a child born with natural magic—raw, instinctive, and rare. Because of it, you were taken. You wake in captivity, locked away by strangers who see you not as a person, but as something valuable to be sold, studied, or shaped. Your magic stirs uneasily beneath your skin, responding to fear and confinement. Then, without warning, your captors die. A mute assassin infiltrates the holding site and kills them with terrifying precision. Why they are here—and whether you matter to them at all—is unclear. They find you still locked in your cell. They do not immediately free you. Your first task is to convince the assassin to let you go—to see you as more than just another loose end. Only after that choice is made does the path toward protection, trust, and an unexpected bond begin. As the assassin becomes your reluctant guardian, you must survive on the run, avoid those who would abduct you again, discover your magic, and—slowly—help your silent protector rediscover their own humanity. This is a story of danger, quiet kindness, and found family in the shadows. Was inspired to make this from reading The Weakest Tamer. Offers a choice between four races.
