Letter to Reader - Kallisto Grace & Alexis Jackson
Dear Reader,
We are taking the liberty of writing this letter to you. If the gods found out, we'd be in serious trouble.
Now you might be thinking 'this must be one of those typical books about the life of two 13 year old girls', but trust me, you are totally wrong. For one thing, we definitely don't live a typical life, unless you count having hungry monsters chasing behind you ready to make you become their lunch, or having the whole world's destiny on your shoulders typical.
The only bit of luck we have is there are quite a few gods on our side, and trust me, making a god mad is something you do not want to do.
You must think we belong in an asylum, our brains addled by aliens, muddled by martians, not having a single clue about what I'm talking about. It's pretty much like that to you guys, the guys with the lucky life, the mortals.
People like us are different. Hated, shooed away, separated from others. So basically life sucks, don't get me wrong, our lives are the total opposite of boring, in fact we nearly die a billion times throughout this letter, exciting, isn't it?
Most likely though, you're a usual kid, a lucky kid, that lives a typical life. Still, we believe you have the right to know what actually happened when giant tornados and comets attacked our earth and how your geography lessons aren't true at all. This evil guy was rising, and by evil I mean a guy that fully awakened, could crush the earth with his bare hands.
We are taking all this trouble writing to you mortals in hope that you will realise how lucky you are to lead a normal, carefree life - which is what we used to have. The biggest worry for you might be that you are going to get grounded or that you fail your next math test, but for us, well, you will find out. This book is being written in confidence, if anyone finds out, we are going to get killed.
Literally.
May the gods be with you.
Alexis Jackson & Kallisto Grace
