Prophecy Tested

Oracle’s Path, Prequel Short Story

Everyone has their place.

Or they should. At twenty years old, I’m not so lucky. Born to a clan that lost their way long before my time, I am the product of a pairing that should be celebrated. Instead, I hid in the shadows for my own protection and watched my family’s reputation crumble.

However, there is one being of great power and importance to my clan who has always believed in me, telling me I am destined for greatness. And now that I am to undergo my final proving test—a test so grueling most never finish it on their first try—I must prove myself worthy.

But as the hourglass drains, and lives hang in the balance, will I live up to my family name and the expectations placed on me?
