They say that legends are born, not made.
But for Jeremy Goodson and Masaru
Hagen that is far from the truth. Confronted by something that neither of them
can explain, two complete strangers from opposite sides of the world embark on
an unforgettable journey that will forge them into living legends.
It has been almost 4,000 years since
magic disappeared from the Earth. Hidden from humanity by the Veil, those who
possess magic live in ancient settlements across the globe. Over the centuries,
these beings have pierced the Veil, leaving behind glimpses and shadows of the
fantastic and arcane. Fueled by distant memories and humanity’s desire for
wonder, familiar stories of myths and legends have been passed down for
thousands of years in nearly every culture and nation.
Jeremy Goodson, an average, overweight teacher in New York City finds his entire world turned upside down when a stranger tempts him to leave everything behind and start a journey that
will test Jeremy’s mysterious gift and bring magic and hope back to humanity.
Masaru Hagen, the adopted son of American tech entrepreneurs living in Tokyo, has been guided by an unseen voice all his life. On the eve of his twentieth birthday, the voice leads him across
thousands of miles, on a mysterious and perilous mission he alone can undertake.
But there are principalities of this world that will do whatever they can to stop Jeremy and Masaru and keep magic
out of the hands of humanity forever.
One of these men will bring hope to the world; the other will bring death. The world they once knew will be changed forever, not only for themselves, but for everyone on Earth…and maybe not for
the best.

An Exceptionally Ordinary Man
.
“To most, he was under-ordinary; a man of little consequence
to his people.”

Present Day
.
On a warm early summer’s day on the bustling streets of New
York City, people avoided one another with the skill that only New Yorkers
possess. Among the hustle and bustle, one unmoving figure kept watch over a seemingly
ordinary human.
Mercurio stood on the sidewalk, busy humans rushing around
him. Most of them towered above him, but he was used to that. In some cases, if
he wanted to blend in without using his cloak, he could hide among human
children. But not today. Today he needed to be unnoticed. The elf stood silent
and observing, an unseen watcher hidden in a shroud of magic; the familiar
energy of his Veil Cloak surged over his body. The surrounding magic united
with his aura and weaved the light around him, making the armor-clad elf
invisible to the humans that passed him by. They were completely unaware of his
presence, yet they avoided contact with him as if they knew he was there. The
cloak’s secondary enchantment acted as a deflector, repelling the
humans at a subconscious level, causing them to move around
him like a river flowing around a large rock.
With humans darting all around him, the elf’s eyes focused on
his target; a young male sitting on a bench, reading a book. He’d observed this
human for weeks and was convinced that this one was indeed worthy of the
calling.
This ordinary, plump twenty-eight-year-old man appeared
average by most human standards. Perhaps even below average. Jeremy Goodson
wore eyeglasses. His round cheeks and belly indicated he ate more than he should.
The mustard stain on his blue collared shirt confirmed that conclusion. His
brown khaki pants were wrinkled. Was this because he didn’t make and care for
his own clothing? He did live alone.
Curious.
