What gift does a Guardian give to a child trapped between two worlds? A child who belongs not the gentle hearth of Heaven or the cold gritty earth. A child that will be both revered and feared by angels and humans alike. A child that they will hunt. Do you give them wisdom to make peace with their fate? The canniness to carve their own path around it? The mirth to see past it in the darkest of times? The strength to survive it come what may? Or do you flip the coin and brush them with the ficklest of all the fates - Do you gift them luck?
