They say that being marked by a god is a divine honor, a blessing reserved for a chosen few. Legends speak of warriors wielding sacred fire and mages moving mountains, their names etched in history. But reality tells a different story. Being marked does not guarantee glory—or survival. Many perish before they understand their fate, while others fade into obscurity, forgotten unless they serve the right interests: kings, soldiers, and those who spill blood for power. The truth, unwritten in books, is that gods mark people for reasons beyond human understanding. And in that design, being chosen is not a prize. It is a sentence.
