Chronicles of the Immortals (prologue)

He was the son of Destiny and she, his sister, was the daughter of Fate. Both born in the month of the Gemini, they were twins, born to the God and Goddess of Skyhaven. They were born for a specific purpose, though all the Divines knew what the sacrifice would be. During the time of their birth, the mortals in the lower realms were at war, all one with another.
