{ Freedom of Choice }

KALONA, A-YA, AND THE RAVEN MOCKERS

Jeri Smith-Ready

IT’S NOT easy being the Chosen One. Just ask Buffy Summers. Ask Harry Potter. And ask Zoey Redbird, the latest in this list of “lucky” candidates picked by fate to save the world from darkness—and oh yeah, find romance, keep their friends, and maybe not flunk every class. In their spare time, of course.

You’d think the act of getting chosen would be the biggest hurdle of all. Once you know you’re The One, every choice should be easy. Simply “do the right thing,” and the rest will follow. After all, you were chosen for a reason, so you must be destined to succeed, right?

Alas, destiny isn’t a straight, well-paved road. Sometimes it’s not even a rocky, overgrown bike path. All the signs point in different directions, and half of them aren’t even in English (they might be in another language—or worse, poetry).

The adults or divine beings—you know, the ones who have let things get so messed up in the first place—hand you a huge assignment: go forth, fight evil, here are some superpowers. Good luck!

Ah, hell, as Zoey would say. Now what?

Good question. How can a mere fledgling make the right choices when even immortals can’t get it right?

Look at Kalona—he was Nyx’s pledged Warrior, a bond that demands and rewards the utmost loyalty and devotion. Yet he squandered his Goddess’ loving trust. After his banishment, rather than trying to get back into Nyx’s good graces, he spent centuries piling up one offense after another. The half-human Raven Mockers he sired brought even more misery into the world, misery they can’t entirely blame on their evil heritage. Of all these mythical beings, A-ya alone, a human creation, lacks the ability to make a choice.

Every human and immortal character, every player in the battle for the soul of the world, has the power to choose the path of darkness or light, no matter how far down one path they’ve already walked.

Or flown, as the case may be . . .
