I knew what would happen under the guiding hands of King Alrik. All I could ever do was sit back and watch it unfold, lurking in the shadows, taking quiet action while the loudest voices claimed victory.

Even when I ached to scream, to warn those I cared for, to shift the future Fate had carved for me…

Because I was the chosen one.

The Great Child.

The Great Karasi.

And greatness was required of me.
