The Special Two
She'd never know how great a destiny was her's to fulfill. If she had known then she may never have set foot outside her hillside home to adventure out into the world. She had a sack on her back, shoes on her feet, a little money in her pockets, and a hope in her heart. The hope she would speak of to no one. If she did tell them, she feared they wouldn't understand or that they would try to keep her from obtaining her hope, her desire. She left with little idea of where she was headed or what she was to do when she reached her eventual destination. She thought maybe North, maybe East, but definitely not South. South of her home held little future for anyone who ventured within. A barren wasteland of misused opportunities and unfulfilled and discarded dreams. North. She would travel North for some time until she met the river which would take her East to Calisberg. She had a friend who would put her up on his couch for a night or two until she had a better idea of where she should be headed. What a destiny to fulfill. Oh the places she would go without knowing the fate that was leading her, guiding her by the hand to the people she would need to meet and the places she would have to be in order for things to end happily for everyone. She would find out soon enough that her plans and her ideas for her future were nothing compared to the potential they had to be. She was amazing, filled with a power she had no way of understanding. Not then at least. You would consider yourself a lucky person to have had her in your life for even a moment. You would find yourself changed in a way you didn't know was possible. And she would have no idea she had done it, no idea how she'd done it. To her she'd done nothing any differently than she'd done before. To you it would be phenomenal, to her just a passing moment in life. She would change the world if she but allowed herself to do so. North for now. She would head North and see where that took her. Then afterward... she'd figure it out.
