Long ago, during the third crusade, year 1184, two twin crosses were made of the purest silver in France. A raised, rope like pattern was etched into the silver. The only difference was the jewels, one was set with a circular ruby, the other an emerald.
Because of the strange power invested in the crosses they, along with a chest of enchanted statues and coins, were put in a chest and hidden in the hills of Aquitaine, France.
In 1199 the chest was captured by the current King of England and given to close advisors before his death. They were to be passed onto the children and grandchildren as heirlooms.
However, unknown to the, now deceased, ruler, that was the worst thing he could have done. The power in the jewelry was unknown, one could destroy everything, and one could fix. together the good and bad were perfectly balanced. Apart however the Jewel of Destruction could destroy complete villages in seconds. The Jewel of Restoration fixes all of it's twin's destruction.
After one hundred years of being passed down the crosses disappeared from sight, until four hundred and fifty three years later the crosses surfaced in the Caribbean, one hidden, one taken from pirates by an eighteen year old girl.
This is her story, my story... Listen carefully, for this is not to be taken lightly. This happening was very dangerous, and very true.
My name is Alexandria Edwards, I am ninety-five, I was eighteen. And yet I will not die for many years more, not until I pass the joined crosses onto my eighteen year old granddaughter. She will become the Keeper of the Crosses. She will be in much danger, this story you are reading is for her as well. She must know what to do, or the world as we know it may become destroyed. This is why.............
