Proem
“The Oracle is a creature that is neither human nor spirit, and the extent of its powers is undefinable. The Oracle can only reside in the bodies of young women who are born with a specific birthmark behind their right ear. It’s believed the true mark resembles an eye, but all girls with a shred of magical power and any kind of mark on their faces are brought to the Temple in case The Oracle chooses any of them. It is unknown how the vessel is selected, but after thorough research into the lineage of the vessels, one parallel was found: the parents all claim they could feel the bond of fate from the first moment they touched.”
