Knights of the Pure Heart: Leading the Sinful to Redemption
The knight knelt down beside the murderous thief who sat on the ground bound with manacles in the gaol for his crimes. After the knight had captured him, the young man had been convicted of killing and robbing a merchant; he was going to be executed in the morning. “Be calm, my son,” he said softly to the criminal, “I mean you know harm. Just tell me, why did you do it? You don’t need to lie, you can tell me anything. I will never tell anyone, I am not here to condemn, just offer you a chance at peace.” The scurrilous cur spat at the knight and struggled against his chains. The knight did not flinch, just wiped away the spittle and smiled benignly and said softly “That’s okay, my son, I know you must be angry. Tell me, what makes you so wrathful?”

You Might Be A Half-Orc
Since the Dungeons & Dragons game says some Half-Orcs can pass for human and with recessive genetic traits working the way they do, it occurred to me that some people may not know they have Orcish blood.

The Tale of One-Eyed Jack
Jack Corrigan was a cop with an eye for detail. He had a knack for spotting clues at crime scenes that others missed that was uncanny. Some of his colleagues swore he was psychic but he had no room in his worldview for magic and mumbo-jumbo, insisting it was just attention to detail and sharp eyes that let him notice things that lead to crimes being solved. Either way, everyone knew the young cop was on his way to becoming a detective in record time. Then, the one time he could not use those eagle eyes at a crime scene, he took a bullet to the head and everything changed…

The Genasi
Travelling through the planes humanoid races often get tainted by the touch of creatures from other planes or filled with energy from the elemental realms beyond our material plane of existence. Some wizards summon spirits from other planes with the intent to mate with them and beget children. Sometimes no mating is needed to create a strange child with elemental traits, it is just caused by the presence of elemental magic. Whether it is by one of your ancestors mating with a djinn or being penetrated by the black rays of energy from the Plane of Negative Energy while you are yet unborn, these strange interactions sometimes lead to the birth of children who are not like the normal members of their races. These traits sometimes arise spontaneously generations after an event, and cannot be predicted or bred true.
