Shadi
In the heart of Misky, a city known for its obsidian towers and streets paved with enchanted sapphires, stands Shadi, a man molded from the eyes of the universe. Neither carved from the womb of a mortal woman nor borne from the seed of a mortal man, Shadi springs from the seasoned hands of Omorose, Misky's venerable alchemist. Impeccable in his craftsmanship, Omorose forms Shadi not from flesh and bone but clay; earning Shadi the name — golem.
Growing up in the labyrinthine streets of Misky, Shadi learns life's rudiments under Omorose's nurturing. The knowledge of everything from the unfurling of enchantments to dexterity in hand-to-hand combat flows from the old alchemist into Shadi. A bond as unbreakable as the hardest diamond forms; Omorose serves not only as Shadi's mentor but shape his personality, becoming the compass by which he navigates the complexities of existence.
Shadi's days break into a soldier's zealous existence, a clay sentinel, a guaranteed fortress. His ingrained virtues of loyalty and courage make him the heart of the Elite Vein Guard, Misky's prestigious military guild. Much like the very fabric of his creation bound by clay, his allegiance to Misky and his comrades is unshakeable, his visage a shining beacon in the moon-kissed nights of the city.
If there is one aspect of Shadi that's symmetrical to an average man, it's his favorite food. Despite the clay veins that pulse with magic instead of blood, he holds an affinity for honey-roasted custard apples, a quirky trait regarded with amusement among his comrades.
Shadi is not a mere avatar of clay and magic; he carries in his sculpted heart life's quintessence in his moral fabric. He strides with the belief that 'Every being, born or made, carries purpose and value'. Steadfast in his truth, the clay man practices compassion and valor, creating ripples of influence in Misky's heart, cementing his name in the city's fable.
A bolt of unforeseen mutilation streaks into Shadi's life when Omorose is seized by an unknown disease. It cripples the city's revered alchemist, a blow that resonates like a death knell in Shadi's clay heart. A simple phrase of Omorose now echoes as Shadi's life credo, "In the heart of chaos, find peace."
The event propels Shadi into the limelight, gaining unexpected fame among Misky's denizens. His form becomes a symbol of resilience, a visage stirring hope in the darkness that had descended on Misky. The clay soldier's favorite quote? "Only in the forge of adversity are heroes made."
Now, plagued by dreams of a magical herb that could heal his mentor, Shadi embarks on a perilous journey to the mythical Cassia Forest. The journey spans across lands where reality intertwines with magic, where danger rears its unsightly head at every turn, and where heroism and sacrifice stand as the only hopes to suffuse life back into Misky.
Among the statuesque obsidian towers of Misky, stands a figure of clay, a testament to undying loyalty and relentless courage — Shadi, the golem.
