nothing changes

King Ranboo Beloved was only fourteen years old when he became king. He was also only fourteen years old when he was informed by his royal advisor that there was a prophecy dictating his death at the hands of a boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and two three-ringed scars on the back of both hands born around the same time as him. His kingdom would be suffering and the blonde boy would save them from his administration.Normally, that'd be Ranboo's cue to order the Royal Guard to kill every blonde-haired, blue-eyed fourteen-year-old they find, but he'd read enough storybooks to know that that never works. Instead, he waits for the boy to come. He accepts his fate.TommyInnit was very, very young when he was moved out of the Kingdom of Candor by his father, Phil, leaving his two brothers behind to keep them safe. He was fourteen when he found out about the prophecy telling him that he will save a kingdom, and he's seventeen when he sets out with his closest friend in response to a distress call.They, of course, meet some people along the way- a fox, a fish, a flame, a faerie- because these quests are just never that simple.[Title from "Nothing Changes" from Hadestown.]
