Prologue

Winter. Year 3567 AE. Midnight. Shelfield Coast City. Tully Orphanage.

The skies seemed brighter than usual. It was as if the night was blessed by the moon and stars , shining down onto the dingy orphanage. If someone stood on top of the nearby lighthouse and looked towards the city, they would see a stream of brilliant sparkles descending and enveloping the streets. Unfortunately, no one was around, and no one had noticed any other peculiarity tonight.

In a small room, the stream of starlight sank into the forehead of a young child, enveloping his body in its shine, as if it was caressing its own child. As the night grew deeper, the starlight grew more pointed and focused, covering the child's body with its glow. After a few hours, the starlight slowly faded and left a five pointed star on the child's forehead glowing brightly. As dawn grew closer, the mark faded as well, unknown to all of its purpose or goal.
