Role

Chapter 2

As I grew, my rage and self-entitled superiority grew within me.
I had no direction but to become the one things I was told I was.
A mindless brute. A monster incapable of intelligent thought,
much less speech. Fueled by their hatred, I grew strong in body
but soft in mind. Easily manipulated by the thoughts of lesser
beings. Until one day one of those supposed lesser beings took
stock of the mentally infirm behemoth in from of him and took
pity. A gnome, the smallest of creatures but mightiest of
mind put a boulder between my eyes and knocked me out cold.
When I came to, the diminutive invoker asked me how he did that.
I hesitated before a spoke and considered his question. I have
not stopped considering since. I learned to read, write and think
as the intellectual peer of any, though with considerable limitations
in the field of magic use. I became balanced and learned that all
things must be.
