A time way back. There is an impending threat from
brigands (Valkites) to a little village. The villagers
decide to flee. They send off their children, hoping to
catch up with them later. But the villagers become trapped
and the children are suddenly alone. The children were advised that if their parents do not join them, they are to go to the nearest village. But the children are undecided.
Should they go to the next village or should they go in
search of ÔThe HeroÕ they had heard of? But will they
find him and if they do, will he help them? If they
donÕt find him, should they try to rescue their families
by themselves?
The quest is filled with dangers. There are wild animals;
there are great mountains and fast flowing rivers. But
harder than that, there are babies to care for. Simply children, can they agree with each other? But as in life, it is not always the best of plans, but the unexpected that helps us through our greatest challenges in life.
