Leonidas was known across the kingdom as a gifted healer, able to cure illnesses that others believed hopeless. But when his younger brother fell sick with a strange, wasting fever, none of Leonidas’s remedies worked. Desperate, he began experimenting with forbidden herbs the elders had warned him never to use.
One night, believing he had finally created a cure, Leonidas gave the mixture to his brother—only to watch the boy grow weaker. By morning, his brother was gone. Word spread quickly, and the village turned on Leonidas, calling him reckless and dangerous. Heartbroken and unable to forgive himself, he left the village in silence, carrying the weight of his mistake for the rest of his life.
