A Prophecy
There is foretold a time to come
For ten destinies to become intertwined.
A time of need, an era of pain,
The awakening of truer love than that which has ever been seen before,
And the giving of immeasurable sacrifice.
Five men and five women, each matched to another
Shall find themselves brought togther
Five humans, two half-breeds
Two nymphs, one elf
United by battle, torn by duty, linked by love.
Persecution arises, fear is bred
And the days and nights awash in bloodshed.
The time will come when courage incites rebellion
When the unjustly imprisoned shall break their chains
And when the silenced will speak again.
Five pairs of soulmates formed of those ten
Star-crossed lovers who will be
Connected in life, connected at death, for
When one passes into the spirit world
The other shall follow forever
Each partner will never be completed by one so well
As the one whom they are destined for.
They will be drawn to each other
For all eternity, together apart:
A curse, a blessing, inescapable fate.
The odds of their success are so low
And the potential price so high
That each one of the ten must willingly agree
Through freedom of choice
To fulfill their destiny, to forfeit all other possibilities, and to place the needs of countless others above their own
The Chosen
The first pair of soulmates are characterized by royalty:
One shall be a princess fair of old, blue blood,
Her destined a prince at heart, commander of the common people.
Each partner of the second pair balances the other perfectly:
Yet another human prince, this one better suited as a commander,
And his beloved a nymph whose authority equals his and whose strength
of character and beauty shall not be forgotten.
The third pair are two truly marked by fate:
The male a half-breed, born of human and elf, with the best qualities of both but alone in life until he finds
His passionate warrior woman who ignites in him a fire matching her own.
Drawn to the natural world are those who constitute the fourth pair:
A restless dryad will finally discover her all-enduring companion
In a man who is guided by the stars and whose purity of soul finds its match in hers.
And the last pair, above them all, are more than what they seem:
An elfin prince held back by duty, by destiny, and most of all by himself,
Will find his naiad, one of the great sacrificers, who will teach him to follow his heart.
A Warning and The Missions
Should these fated ten fail,
The land will fall into utter chaos: all goodness wiped from existence, leaving evil and darkness
To inhabit a forsaken world
Their ultimate task: to break a world, to bring it back together, to restore a lost dynasty to the second throne, and
To love one another.
