A shining light in the wake of despair

The future is built upon the past as it is our experiences and the choices we make that define the path we walk. History has its roots in the paths of the victorious as it is those experiences that help define history and forge a better future, but what if the experience of the victorious wasn't what was expected and history took a dark turn? The results would be catastrophic as war and death spread all across the land and there are none who know this better than the second generation of shepherds.
