You find out where that kid lives. Go to their town and tell them of how brave their father was and how he died next to you in battle fighting the enemy hordes. Tell him you made a promise to raise him and see to his education. Add child to raiding party. Raise him to be a merciless avenger in his father's memory. Become the scourge of the continent. Eventually child finds out that you were the one who killed his father and turned him into a monster for your own profit. Meet child on the plains for a final battle. Refuse to lift your sword in defense because you've come to love him as your own. Oh no - the whole thing was a setup by the enemy: they leaked the truth to the kid and set up this meeting as an ambush for both of you, hoping you'd kill/weaken each other. Fight to your dying breath defending the kid and helping him escape. Last words your hear as he escapes and leaves you to your fate are about how much he'll miss you and forgives you.
I don't always upvote walls of text, but when I do it's because it's a better story than half the Hollywood movies I've seen.
Paragraphs are important!
Alternate ending: Find kid, wait until kid is at birthday party, kill 5 kids, take loot, 4c, 5 poison vials. Letter from father says "I left because you were a bad son". Wasn't birthday party after all was suicide pact. Other 4 kids were half siblings with the same letters. As you walk away stunned but feeling slightly better you find a chest of weapons nearby and a manifesto. It was a murder suicide pact and these kids were in their way to slaughter the local happy families. You are a hero. Everyone claps. You leave the 4c.
In the distance you see he man you "killed". It was all a setup to get you and those damn kids to weaken each other. He rides up laughing and says "welcome home son".
Pretty sure I know this story
If you're implying that years of mindless consumerism and television have left my brain completely devoid of originality and creativity, leaving me unable to conjur up unique and never-before imagined stories not anything like those of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Lion King, Frailty, Thor, Batman Begins, Maleficent, Iron Man, and many, many others...well...that'd be a serious accusation friend. What kind of monster would do that? And on the internet?!
You've become AI, the destroyer of creativity
me too but i can't really remember where from anymore lol
