Once there lived a small boy named Vincent who resided in a quaint, picturesque village with his father, Percival. Vincent was known for his kindness and honesty, always empathizing with and helping the villagers. Life was peaceful for Vincent until one fateful night changed everything.
On a dark, stormy night, Vincent was returning home. The night was like a dark abyss, with lightning flashing, wind howling, and thunder crashing, creating a terrifying scene for the 15-year-old. As he reached home, he heard a moan from his father that froze him in his tracks. Standing by the window in fright, Vincent gathered his courage and peered inside. He saw a man attacking his father but couldn’t recognize him due to the darkness. However, he noticed a distinctive butterfly tattoo on the man’s hand, which etched itself into Vincent’s memory. Witnessing his father’s murder, Vincent fainted.
The next day, Vincent awoke to the sight of his father’s funeral. He vowed to find his father’s killer, but at such a young age, he didn’t know where to start. He decided to wait until he was older and stronger. By the age of 21, Vincent was ready to begin his quest. His only clue was the butterfly tattoo, which he identified as a monarch butterfly. He started investigating anyone in the village connected to butterflies, but none had the tattoo.

Months passed with no leads until one day, at the village bay, Vincent spotted a foreigner with the same monarch butterfly tattoo. He tried to track the man but had no luck. Strange things began happening around Vincent, but he kept them to himself to avoid endangering others.
One day, Vincent saw the tattooed man again, and memories of his father’s murder resurfaced. He recalled more details about the killer: a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his right hand and a permanent scratch on his neck. The foreigner had a covered neck and wore a glove on his right hand. Vincent was convinced he had found the killer.
Vincent followed the man to a dark alley, where he saw him about to attack a woman. Vincent intervened, and a fight ensued. The killer struck Vincent on the head, knocking him unconscious. When Vincent awoke, he and the woman were tied up. Desperate to break free, Vincent struggled but couldn’t escape.
In a moment of clarity, Vincent remembered a small knife hidden in his boot. He managed to retrieve it and cut through the ropes. Freeing the woman, he confronted the killer. The man revealed his identity as Marcus, a notorious smuggler. He explained that Percival had discovered his smuggling ring and had threatened to expose him. To protect his operation, Marcus had to silence Percival.
Fueled by rage and a desire for justice, Vincent fought Marcus with renewed strength. The battle was fierce, but Vincent’s determination prevailed. He overpowered Marcus and handed him over to the authorities. With his father’s murderer brought to justice, Vincent felt a sense of closure.
After the event, Vincent’s life took a new direction. He became a local hero, admired for his bravery and determination. He used his experience to help others, becoming a mentor to the village youth and teaching them the values of courage and justice. Vincent also worked closely with the village authorities to ensure that crime was kept at bay, using his knowledge and skills to protect his community.
Vincent’s journey had transformed him from a boy seeking revenge to a man dedicated to making his village a safer place. He continued to live a life of kindness and empathy, honoring his father’s memory and ensuring that no one else would suffer the same fate.
