All heroes have to start from somewhere, don't they?

A collection of short stories telling the tales of heroes before their paths crossed. It is of siblings trying to hide the cracks in their family; of a young prodigy fighting for her place in society; of a girl who may have lost her memory but has not lost hope; of a mercenary dragged into more than he bargained for; of a disowned noble finding his new place in the world; of a group of friends proving themselves… of people whose connections to one another will be clear enough in due time.
