The Beastfolk Healer

Victor Edwardson once walked beside heroes. He traveled with a famous party, fought monsters, and helped bring peace to the realm with his rare gift—powerful healing magic. But while kings celebrated victory and cities praised heroes, Victor saw something the others ignored. The wounded who were left behind. Among them were the beastfolk—people with fur, horns, and claws who had once been forced to serve the old Dark Lord. Even long after the war ended, the hatred toward them never faded. Villages turned them away. Cities refused them entry. And when they became sick or wounded… no one came to help. No one except Victor. Leaving behind the glory of heroism, Victor now wanders the roads with a simple goal: heal those the world has abandoned. From hidden beastfolk villages to lonely forest tribes, he offers medicine, magic, and compassion to those who expect only fear and cruelty. But in a world still haunted by the shadow of the Dark Lord, kindness toward beastfolk is not always welcomed. And some people believe monsters should stay monsters. Yet Victor will continue to heal them—no matter what the world says. Because to him, they were never monsters.
