In the beginning there was the Creator, not born from but existing in a realm of chaos, and he was lonely. So he drew from himself and mixed his essence with some of the chaos to create a companion. She was known as the Lady of the Guiding Light, for she brought brightness, and therefore darkness, to a realm where neither had existed before.

Wanting to please his new companion the Creator took a large segment of the chaos and created rules for it, making a bubble where the chaos would begin to sort itself into creations. This he gave to the Lady

She loved her gift with her whole being and decided to breath life into it, she secreted some of the Creator’s essence away and mixed it with hers and some chaos to create her children. Her children had no names but they were the first and those after them just called them the old ones. They were born of creation and so desired to create, and soon brought new life to the universe from themselves. These people called themselves the Tamers. The law bound chaos meanwhile fell into its own form of life, called humans.

The Tamers sought to rule everything they could, it was in their nature to bring order to chaos, they believed. They tricked the old ones and fed them back to the chaos. They subjugated the humans with their intelligence first, until humans grew too smart. Then taking what magic they had in their bodies from the Lady, the Tamers tried to create a slave race to make up for their lack of physical ability. They took used the chaos to force animals into captured humans, to make them pliable. These became known as the Shifters, but the old ones now part of the chaos crept into these new people and made them free willed. The Shifter actively rejected the Tamers. So the Tamers bound some of their essence into humans and created the Hunters to fight for them.

Still seeking power and subjugation of everything the Tamers attempted to steal the Creators power, but instead found the Lady watching over her beloved universe. This act broke the Lady into three parts and sent those parts plummeting into the world shattering it. War escalated and peace vanished and with it nearly all knowledge of what was true. Magic was no longer known, the Tamers, Shifters, and Hunters were now believed extinct or merely just normal people in different groups, and people were left to pick up pieces.

There are many tales that are told, with the great people in them, the Storied, becoming the only way to be remembered a century or more after the shattering of the world. This is where we find our story. A world where only the tales are remembered as history, where two twins orphaned early and living a life of fighting and a sister adopted in battle try to live their lives. This story as do most stories, or myths, or tales focuses on their trials and the great deeds they commit for better or worse.

----About the Author----

Hey everyone, if you’ve made it this far, first off thank you. When I was younger I wrote on and off, pretty much any story that would float into my head, and I felt needed to be expressed. The same goes for this one, it’s been floating around for a bit in my head and is now just burning to get out. Of course I don’t deem myself a great writer, or a good editor, so any criticism is always welcome. Please take a look at my sample chapter if you haven’t already and pre-order if you think you would like my writing or the story. Other than that I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
