Author's Notes: Well this is my first fan fiction that I have ever written, so cut me some slack. Helpful criticism is much appreciated, but please don't roast me over the open coals. Like I said, this story is loosely based off of Lackey's world…please review...please.
Disclaimer: This covers the whole story, so pay attention…I DON'T OWN IT…Mercedes Lackey and her grand imagination own this world. Wish I was that good…..
Prologue:
We live in a time of discourse and fear, where hatred runs deep. It is a time when the corrupt mage and the bitter warrior divide the world in twain. This, however, wasn't always so.
Once, long ago, the Gods walked among their people. This was a time when the many different people agreed with each other; a time then mage and warrior were friends and allies. But this was not to be lasting. A dark mage came to power, killing all in his path, turning the warriors against the mages, who failed to save them from deadly blows and whose kind had caused the death of so many. The Time of the Gods was over; they no longer walked among their people. It was said that the Gods lamented the destruction wreaked upon their people and that Aria, the Goddess of War, mourned the most: the warriors and mages where her people, now divided.
As the years passed, history became a story, the story a legend, the legend a mother's night-time tale, until all was nearly forgotten and the hatred ran deep; hatred stemmed from a forgotten cause. This would remain for fifteen hundred years, until there was a school willing to breach the divide, forcing two enemies together on an adventure that will change their lives and the world forever. This is their tale.
