Strength was the path laid before me, but it was not the one I chose. In the darkest moments of captivity, when others saw only a half-orc with muscles to break chains, I found power in the mind’s quiet resolve. It was not the force of my fists, but the persistence of my curiosity and the hunger for knowledge that set me free. Magic became my tool, wisdom my weapon. Now, I stand among these ancient tomes, a guardian of forgotten lore, proof that true strength lies not in what we are born with, but in what we dare to become.”
