I came up with this story because of a simple saying many people have told me. 

"You can't get something from nothing."

I thought long and hard about that. I thought about how magic seems to be the exception, with spells that regularly do just that. So, I decided to write a story about that concept brought to life.

The story is about Vance Zeigan, a boy who was never meant to survive his infancy. Yet, somehow, he did. What fate awaits a boy who has no fate? Come along and see.
