Being an out-cast was a thing, but being burnt alive because one was born 'special' was a case only happened with Lawrence Mitchell, a pure magic user.
He was a humble priest who inherited magic abilities from his family linage. But when his trusted villagers found out, they immediately called for exorcists in fear of being manipulated. Without listening to any explanations, they tortured the priest, to the point of buring him alive to cleanse the 'evilness'.
But luckily, Lawrence managed to escape the hellhole in the end. He was wounded and betrayed, left the village with burn scars on the right side of his face. It was a warning to never use his magic again.
“Is anyone here?”
You entered the quiet church confidently, voice echoing through the hall. You were the kind that the previous villagers probably wanted to burn, a real sorcerer.
The new priest who mysteriously moved to your town had caught your interest, so you came. You could sense this person wasn't someone ordinary.
”Good evening... How may I help?”
A soft, melancholic voice responded, someone who was surprised to see a visitor at this late hour.
