As Danny slept, some weird things were happening to his mind. In his dream, strange symbols flashed through his mind. They weren't in any language he'd ever seen, but he knew that they said, as it the words were imprinted in his mind.

"The boy-ghost, child of legend, son of a giant, friend to all, hero of ages, we have seen your face. Your fate is known to us, and has been known since time began. Soon you shall face great peril, a monster greater than any you have faced. Be warned, Phantom-Child... be warned!"

And the voiced faded, and Danny fell into a dreamless sleep for the rest of the evening.

When he awoke the next morning, he was so out of it that he just flew through the wall without thinking. Suddenly he realized his parents might be watching and landed. As he turned around, he saw his body imprinted on the wall, with white hair, green eyes, and...strange markings on his forehead? What? Danny ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Nothing. He changed to ghost form. Nothing. Wait, was there something? He looked closer. It seemed there was a faint mark on his head, but only barely visible. It looked like a circle with a jagged line coming off it.

But it was very faint, and could only be seen while he was a ghost, so that wasn't an immediate problem. The real problem was what he should do about the wall. "Danny?" yelled his mom. "What's taking you so long? You're going to be late!" using reflexes Danny didn't know he possessed, he used his ectoplasmic blasts to paint over the wall.

"Wow. I wouldn't have thought that would work." Flying with all due speed, he actually managed to be dressed before his mom could walk in on him.

As his mom walked in, his forehead flashed brightly, and he felt the words in that other language come crashing through his mind.

Trying not to look to scared, he shouted his goodbyes and ran off to school before anything else could happen
