Summary
A hundred years after the devastation of both Piltover and Zaun, Viktor has been living on the fringes of what is left of the society too stubborn to leave the ruined valley. Tied to the Anomaly, Viktor is not only a mage now, but an immortal one at that. The sins of his past are his alone to carry in his solitude, until the day he can convince the people's still living close to where the Anomaly was last seen, to move so he can destroy it-- and with it end his long life.
Despite his isolation and refusal to get close to people ever again, a nearby Village has heralded him as their god. To appease him, every five years they leave an offering of a beautiful young maiden. Yet every time Viktor cuts them loose and tells them to go home. That is, until a certain tribute is given to him on the brink of death, a strange illness ravaging her lungs. Unable to turn away someone so obviously needing his help to live, Viktor takes her in and begins to attempt to heal her as best he can without resorting to using the Arcane.
The questions are thus:
Will Viktor be able to heal the woman without the use of his magic?
And if he does, will he be able to turn her away when she makes him feel so human?
