Dead Eye

Aaron was one of fourteen children created at great cost, traded through countless golden trinkets and silver with demons. Thirteen were delivered. He was thrown in a river for being defective. Fifteen years later, he lives as an orphan in a frontier village, renting out his body as a sword dummy for root vegetables and carrying a dead eye that everyone pities and no one understands. He doesn't know what he is. He doesn't know what the others became. He doesn't know that the eye they called defective once cut a man's hands off at the wrist. He finds himself completely destitute, even worse, ambivalent to that fact. He finds himself completely useless, not knowing that he was secretly designed to be a super weapon to end the planet.
