Summary: In some far future, there are legends about two brothers who saved us all.
They say it predates the Fall. Certainly it's ancient, this tapestry they call the Winchester Chronicles. The colours are faded with age, but here and there's a hint of the original – blood-reds, cerulean blues and shamrock greens predominating.
Through it all runs a twinned thread of pure gold.
Experts debate the themes portrayed, but to the ordinary observer, it seems pretty clear. Legends all tell the same tale – of two brothers who loved each other too much and too hard. They made sacrifices they should never have made, but in doing so saved the World, and that made them heroes.
