Prologue: Five Thousand Years

Five thousand years is a long time to wait.

I've had five thousand years to watch the rise and fall of civilizations, the crowning of kings and the hanging of queens, the praising of gods and the slaying of their priests.

Yes, five thousand years is a long time.

~~~~~

I remember only bits and pieces of it now. My memory has grown vague and fuzzy. They tell me it is because I no longer need to remember. My purpose is known, my death foretold. Five thousand years of waiting, gone, wasted. Just like that.

I've have asked that they do not tell me. I wish to discover it myself.

After all, I've waited five thousand years to find it.

~~~~~

I grew up in many places, always wandering, always seeking the others of my kind. I never had parents; I cannot even remember if I had them in the beginning.

Perhaps I am just a creation of the Crown, a physical shell used to carry out its work. Eternally trapped in an 18 year old body. Never born, never truly alive, but always meant to be destroyed.
