  Have you ever wondered if you are special? (Or ever special for that matter.) Would you change the world? Most likely you shrugged it off and went back to your life. Saying, there's no way that would happen to me. I'm not that important. Is that what you think when that thought may have crossed your mind? Its okay, I know you've thought of it, tis not a crime. That is what a few very important friends of mine thought that I will tell you about. A legend people say. We did not expect this to happen.

   One thinks that they will never save their people. With the ever growing darkness waning over their people. With the ever looming evil waning over their heads. How can someone so small inspire so many people? How can they convince them that it is worth believing. Believing in everything that is good in this world will come back? That there is still hope in this world and its worth fighting for? How do you show such strength? How do you find your courage?
   Another fears for their home that is forever threatened. That all friendships and brotherhoods are gone; and there is no love left in this world. That if they love again they will be betrayed. To be betrayed by family is to know hate.
   To live where there is no trust creates all sorts of madness and pride. To learn modesty is to know oneself.
   Why be concerned when you live within the peaceful Earth? No war will come to you. If you do not prod around in others business no harm will come to you.
   When no one trusts you, how do you feel? When your birth is of curious means, what do you think? How would you react to this person? Would you be safe and stay a safe distance or do you have the courage to reach out?
   To hate and be hated are both two whole different meanings. But when you bring both feelings, trouble follows you.

   What are legends? Have you ever wondered this question? How do you become part of one? I'm here to tell you its not the legend that makes the person, its the person who makes the legend. Most people are farmers, miners, smiths, craftsmen, and so forth. Here's a secret I will tell you- These people did not have some ancient power with them, no. Usually all forces are against them. It is the bond of friendship and brotherhood that keep these people moving forward. But what gives them the strength to keep moving ahead? My good friend it is courage, and no small amount of willpower that lives on.
   But what powers set these quests in motion? Now my friend, I regret to say I do not know that answer. It will be comforting to know most quests are set in motion for the better.
