A sickly boy, haunted by his twin's divine gift and his own useless Aspect, seeks a desperate answer in the desolate limestone quarry. Liam, dismissed by his family and mocked by his peers, yearns for a purpose beyond his fragile body and glowing eyes. He dreams of distant worlds, but the brutal reality of the Vigil's frontier demands strength he doesn't possess. Tonight, under the indifferent stars, he confronts his own insignificance, only for a crimson light to descend from the heavens, chasing him through the darkness. Thrown into the abyss, he survives a fall that should have killed him, but a strange, burning warmth now pulses within his chest. What ancient power has chosen this forgotten boy, and what impossible destiny awaits the one who was never meant to be a hero?
