Destined for Greatness

Kendall is certain that his future holds grander things than being an inn-keeper's boy. The problem is, the Fates - if they even exist - don't seem to agree. But when a chance encounter with a strange old woman hands him a chance to take his destiny in his own hands, life suddenly gets much more interesting.(this short story was originally published in the Paws, Claws, and Magic Tales anthology from the Fellowship of Fantasy)
