Chapter 01:

"My Story Began"


To me, it seemed my story began when I was just 18.

In truth, the madness that enveloped my life without warning had been brewing for centuries. I now know my story began almost 2,000 years ago, with the fall of the demon Sparda, and the birth of his twin sons.

But I didn't know that when I was just 18.

I'm older now, as I write down what happened—older, but if we're being honest, probably not much wiser. Stubbornness is one of my most notorious flaws. Because of this imperfection, however, it's easy to get back into the character of my eighteen-year-old self. It's easy to travel back in time and recall the most pivotal years of my life. It's easy to see things not how my older, not-so-wiser self wants to remember them, but to see them how they actually transpired.

And it's imperative I remember those days accurately. It's imperative I refrain from coloring my memories with the veneer of fond recollection. I must remember the painful, the exquisite, the frustrating, the gorgeous, and the unflattering in equal measure. I must do this because I'm not writing this story for you, the reader, dear to me though you are. I'm not even writing it for myself.

I'm writing it for him.

And if I fail, this life of mine that began 2,000 years ago…well, it will have all been for nothing.

But you'll see what I mean soon enough.


Notes: This is a rewrite of my old story "By Blood Connected." Can't stand the old version. More to come. Will be VERY different.
