Foreword
Planet Earth. I've lived here all my life, but never really belonged. I was born here, raised here (mostly) and maybe, one day, when it is time, this is where I will die. But there is a long time until that day. For the first 17 years of my life, my father taught me everything there was to know. And while he did it, we traveled. All over this world, as well as all the other worlds too. My father and I, well, we get along great. Better than most might. He's all I have.
However, he's not the best father in the world. Now don't get me wrong; he's amazing. Funny, kind, smart… but he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Two worlds, actually. No joke. And he doesn't understand. He doesn't know how to be a father, how to fully love. I don't know much about his past life, his life before me, but I know some, and from what I've heard from the names he mutters in his sleep… he had a hard life.
We are alone in the world. Just the two of us. The last of our kind. We agree on pretty much everything. But not quite. The one thing we argue on is the one thing that could kill us both… because both sides, his and mine could end in destruction. So we came to an agreement. On my 18th birthday, I could open it. The locket. And one of two things will happen; everything about who I am, and how I act will change, or the world will fall. But of course, knowing how my life and my fathers life has been going… both will happen.
This is my story. It is all true. I didn't even bother to change the names, because there is no reason to. I will do my best to let you see all sides of the story. To let you understand me, Destiny, and everything about my past, present and future. Maybe you wish your life was more like mine. But then you'd be crazy, for, you see, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. No one deserves what my father and I have gone through.
Who are we? I'll get back to you on that.
