Children of destiny

The Beginning

Long ago in a time long forgotten by the mortal mind mortals lived in harmony with a great and powerful race the ancients great people who could do fantastic things with their power people said they were blessed by the Gods other said they were devils in disguise.

The ancients had their own gods great faceless beings who could drive you mad by sight they were called the faceless ones and the ancients worshiped their dark gods letting them control their lives.

But one day the ancients decided they wanted their own destiny and fought against the faceless ones on the land in the sea and in the air but the faceless ones were immortal and so one each battle killing an ancient each time until the ancients discovered their secret.

Legend tells of a single stone as black as deep night that sung to the ancients when the enemy was near the legend was wrong there were two stones one as black as night and the other as golden as the sun the ancients stole both these stones and built them into weapons they used them against the faceless ones they succeeded and forced the faceless ones from their world but then tragedy struck…

One ancient stole the sceptre containing the black stone and killed his brethren now again legend says only one ancient survived and he was remorseful for what he did again legend was wrong two ancients survived and the other ancient took the sceptre from the betrayer of his brethren and cursed his descendents to live without magic the evil ancient declared that one day his descendents would come to claim the sceptres and lay waste to this world

The last true ancient looked upon the corpses of his brothers and knew what he had to do with his life force he bound the sceptres to his blood but he could not complete the binding so another not of his blood could use a small fraction of the sceptres power with his final breath he threw the black sceptre into the depths of the earth and the golden sceptre to the earths highest point and he died he thought he was the last of his blood but he did not know a women who he had loved now carried a child, a child who's descendents would go against the evil ancients descendent and rid the world off corruption and injustice.
