Prologue
Have you ever wondered if there was another life-sustaining planet out there in the universe? If you have, and you guessed that there are, then you're right. This one particular planet that I'm talking about is a place I like to call Amaranth.
Amaranth is the type of world you'd often hear about in fairytales. It is a world full of monsters, gods and above all else: magic.
Amaranth is something you'd normally call a parallel Earth. It looks like Earth in many ways, such as the oceans that surrounds the land and the oxygen that the inhabitants breathe, yet it is also different to Earth in more ways than one.
For example, all of Amaranth knows of the existence of Earth. Yet none of the people on Earth know of Amaranth's existence. Also, it is impossible for a normal mortal to cross into Amaranth without feeling immense pain. But Amaranthians (as the people of Amaranth are called) can cross into Earth as easily as breathing, without feeling the slightest amount of pain.
But enough with the technicalities, I should get started on the stories I came here to tell you. I should start by explaining why all of this happened. These tales that I am about to tell you are very much true in Amaranth. It is a tale of how almost all of Amaranth was stunned by a single small boy who was destined to destroy all the evil in Amaranth forever.
It's hard to imagine it all started with a small prophecy.
'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lords approaches. Born to those who have thrice defied evil, born as the seventh month dies. The one with the power shall be marked, but he will have the power of all. And he can only die by the hand of evil, but as long as he lives there will be hope. The one with the power to vanquish all evil will be born as the seventh month dies.'
