Author's Note:   This is my first time posting fan fiction, so please review. 

Prologue 1:

Across the world, people fell to their knees in pain.

First, the mutants, others like himself.

Then all other human beings, all falling in agony as he reached out with his mind. 

Finding each one…

Focusing on them…

Fighting them…

Killing them…

God forgive him. 

And God forgive me.

Had I known how powerful they were all becoming, I would have intervened long ago. 

Mutants…a hundred years ago, the gifted did not have a name.

Five hundred years ago, they were 'witches,' many unjustly accused of wicked deeds.

A thousand years ago, they were demons and angels.

Five thousand years ago, they were 'gods.'

All that time, and it still amazes me how quickly the world can change...

...and how much it has remained the same.

I fear for my family.  The family I have protected for so long.

Generations, traced back for the long millennia of my existence.

Now, in danger of annihilation…

I only hope I can protect them from their own future.

 Mutation.

The key to our evolution.

It has helped us change from a primitive, wandering species into a kaleidoscope of cultures and technologies I could have never imagined in the era I was born.

And, for all of my thousands of years, I never knew how dramatically evolution could leap forward...

I pray we survive to see where evolution intends to take us.
