Divine clues convince a town that a boy and his friends must complete a daring quest to avert world ending disaster. That may be true. But the Hero’s parent knows the children will face potent foes none could survive without aid. So the parent, willing to pay well, begs Wraithvine to watch over the young heroes from the shadows and keep them from harm without being seen. -- Deathsead419
Langdon was born with the blaze. Prophecy declared that the boy born with a blaze mark would be the one to save the world from a rising evil. Not just the boy with the blaze, but also the friends who chose themselves to aid him.
Which was a lot to put onto a fresh human who was not yet one hour old.
His mother, Daanyf, knew that the prophecy was a hefty load. Still in her birthing-bed, she wrote a letter and begged a Courier to take it to Wraithvine. The Couriers considered delivery to be a sacred purpose, and had a network that was literally worldwide. A letter like that would reach a stronghold, and an enquiry would go out to find its recipient. After that, it would travel between bases with a chain of Couriers until it reached the hands of a living legend.
