The Twin's Legacy

Prologue: As It Should Be

This is the first entry of this journal, I've decided to write one because I wanted people that would find it the story of why Alfred and I did what we thought was necessary. I hope who ever find the journal share the story with others so they can never take the peace my brother and I worked so hard to achieve for granted. In this world we live in wars are a common occurrence, if you are not at war with another kingdom, you're at war with your neighbours or the often mentioned war with one self. A war can be started for a multitude of reasons but whatever the reasons it always leaves scars on the people left behind. For me a war can be summed as this "somebody wins, somebody loses and everything else changes." People count my brother and me fortunate because we were born when the war ended, but are we fortunate? Our birth parents never got to see us grow up, our adopted parents died when we were young. Too young to understand that they would never wake up and be present in our lives. Of course we weren't abandoned to the cruel world we had our uncle, he taught us valuable lessons even if back then we didn't see it or care. We loved him despite the fact that people thought he wasn't right in the head and we knew he loved us in his own way in return but it just wasn't the same, our hearts had been broken. As we grew older my brother and I was dissatisfied with the hands fate dealt us, we became obsessed in fixing our crumbling world. After a few years of research we came to the conclusion that magic was the only thing that could fix this and no matter what our uncle does or will do to dissuade us from taking this path we will not back down too many lives depends on it.

Matthew Williams.

Matthew finished writing in his journal with a sigh, it was getting late in the afternoon after all and he was sure they neared their destination. He could feel it in his bones the magical hums of Mist Island. He went to the main deck to join his brother leaning against the railing of the ship looking at the sea.

"Hey Matthew!"

"Hey Alfred" The younger twin replied with that quiet voice of his.

"You're feeling it right? The pull the island has." Alfred was a loud mouth and the light in Matthew's world, to hear his brother being serious for once was rather off putting for the young man.

"Yes, it feels as if….as if….as if."

"As if it wants us to go there." Alfred finished for him.

"Yeah"

"Do you think it will work?"

"I don't know Alfred but we don't have much too loose if it doesn't work." Matthew shrugged trying to hide his anxiety over what they were about to do.

"Don't worry little brother; you can always count on me the hero to make it work!" Alfred may not have known how to read atmosphere but he knew how to read his twin brother.

"Of course you will." Matthew smiled and pushed himself off the railing to leave.

"Where are you going?" The younger brother turned to face the older brother.

"I'm just going to finish writing my journal."

"Matthew! A diary really? Sometimes you're such a girl!" Alfred chuckled.

"It's a JOURNAL you hoser! I just want the people that will find my journal in case we fail, that at least we tried." Matthew glared at his brother make fun of him, people may overlook him but this journal was to make sure that while people will remember Alfred without much of an effort, at least while they read his journal they will remember Matthew for a little bit.

"All right all right I'm sorry." Alfred lifted both hands in a sign of surrender in the hope that it will pacify his brother.

"Just don't stay up to late; we will need to be up and early tomorrow." Matthew left his brother on the main deck of the ship. Neither twins at that moment would ever admit that they were scared shitless at the prospect that all of their planning, all of their preparation would be for naught. They would have taken the idea of failing wouldn't have been so bad, that in death they would see their parents. But both brothers just didn't want to leave the rest of the world in misery.
