Soul.

It's what makes you diffrent from any other life in your world. All intelligent races possess a soul, be it corrupted one or controlled like a puppet on strings. It's a gift from Me who promised all races the cycle of rebirth so that death is never truly eternal. Your soul are still your own even if you are born in diffrent body and to diffrent race.

Every soul is special in it's own regard, be it simple changes that won't affect them or soul branded by Me for their outstanding feats of heroism and power. Those soul burn bright, lighting even the darkness of Void where My Forge is residing.

One such soul is right here, staring off into darkness and awaiting it's right to be brought among mortals once more. It's shine surpassing others and having additional slightly blue glow...

And yet when I look at my creation... I feel both proud and sad.

I gave you all souls and own intelligence so that you may differ between dark and light. All of you chose their own sides... All of you are my children and no matter how much you hate and fighting each other I will never cease bringing you back...

But here we are, Young Soul, and I ask you : Do you wish to be brought back? I love you like all my children but you must know that because of your mark you will be born to do great things, it will force you to tread path that collides with the very fate of the world and all it's inhabitants.

It brings a smile on my face to know that you are still determined like you are...

Come with me then, Young Soul, and gaze into the fire of my Forge... Now tell me, what do you feel and see?

Even at young age your path will not be an ease one...

Do not fear, step into the fire and feel it's gentle warmth embracing you. Now, do you also feel those emotions around you? Those are desires of all mothers across the world, their deepest fears and promises resolving around their future childern.

Let the fire embrace you fully and listen to all those voices. You will hear one calling out just to you. Do not fear it. Go to it and lead your new life. Remember, Young Soul, no matter who you are born to, you are destined greatness and your choice will shatter the balance of current world.

Now close your eyes. Like a blacksmith that forged all life, I will forge your new form. If we are to meet once again I hope it will be after you achieve all you wanted in life.

Do not fear the darkness that you sense, let it lull you to sleep so that you may be awaken in your new life...

So in the village of an Empire a new child comes to this world, among cries of his mother that shatter the silence of night. In a humble house in the village a new life was born, life that will decide what will become of this world.

His family was nothing special, simple farmhands working for a rich land owner. In early years he has spent his time playing around the farm and making friends with other kids. However, he quickly managed to gain attention of owner's youngest daughter and son.

Kids quickly became friends and once it came to education his parents could only look away in guilt. While there was a possibility to learn at the nearby monastery they couldn't afford any book and they themselves were illiterate.

His rich friends, however, quickly invated his for their own study sessions and he learned how to write and read. While many thought it would be for nothing since he will also be just a simple farmhands like the rest of his family the time was coming to quickly prove them wrong.

At the age of ten, his mother gave birth to his new sister. She has the same features as him and he took a liking to his position as big brother. Fate, however, decided that it's time to act and give him a talent that will define him among others.

A traveling wizard has come to village to see if lord's children are capable of magic and he left his cart and horse behind. Young boy saw many books and while he left bad about he picked up one of them, promising himself that he'll read some of it and put it back in place.

What was suppose to be a few minutes of looking throught a book became almost a day of studying. Both his parents and mage were quite scared since he had some things that shouldn't be touched, even if they seem as normal books.

Finally they found him in a small abandoned barn... However, there was a surprise to that. Mage stare in amazement as a ten year old stare at the book on the ground and managed to create a fire spell.

His parents' surprise yelling caused him to lose control over his magic and the spell to be released lighting the whole barn on fire. While they all escaped, including the boy who still clutched the magic book tightly, scared of everything around him. Unknowingly created a disaster for his family as a flaming wood crushed his father's leg, rendering him unable to work in fields anymore.

Mage took it upon himself for leaving his magic book and promised to pay them using his contact with nearby magic guild but in exchange he wanted the boy...

Explenation was simple, he's a young mage who has incredible capabilities, even if they are locked away behind his age and lack of knowledge. Family refused and for the next two years they somehow managed to live but the boy seeing the worsening state of his home took the job of farmhand himself and while his young body barely could get throught the day before crumbling he still did it.

In next four years he grew and he felt that something is not right, he's missing something in his life. Over the course of years he used little savings he had to buy books and the cage that has become his life was rapidly growing smaller for him.

He knew that feeding his family this way will become harder so after teaching his sister how to read and write he picked up a weapon from blacksmith, patched some leather together to make protection and with his final goodbyes he left, promising to return with enough money to make sure eveything will be alright.

He managed to sign up to mercenary company that was traveling nearby. In span of next four years he sent every bit of gold to his family and received letters back, written by his sister, telling him that everyone's faring well.

He exchange his weapon for a magic tome and quickly became company's mage. While knowing only four basic spells that he had managed to learn from the book he still was very useful for them.

Not even a year later the letter from his family caused him to drop everything and ride back. Bandits struck the village and during the defense his father was killed while mother was dragged away with a few other woman, later finding her body with ripped up clothes and slit throat.

Upon arriving at the village he could tell it was attacked, houses were destroyed some almost completely burned while others just had some marks after fire. His home was burned to the ground and he found his sister at her friend's house, with some bruises after having to break out of burning down house. Appearently an Inquisitor and some nearby Legionnaires were dispatched to find and bring those bandits to justice...

Now after leaving mercenary company with no point of finding them and nothing to return to, he has to set out on a road to find a new place to call home and to ensure his sister's safety.

This is the story of marked Young Soul who has set on a path to find his true destiny.

This is the story about you, (Y/N).
