Prologue

The Threads of Amari—A Children’s Story

Long ago, before life walked the land,

Four gods created a realm they could command.

The all-seeing fates wove threads of golden light,

To bind the mortals’ hearts; their destinies to unite.

Simple beings the gods had chosen,

Blessed them with powers that made them emboldened.

Threads of fate bound hearts together.

Souls linked as one, entwined forever.

A gentle pull, a hum low and sweet,

Awakened hearts to a love so deep.

Two new souls, tightly tethered,

Only in death could the bonds be severed.

But the gods asked for the fates to decree,

For the threads to bind an Amari of three.

Cords pulling one to heart, one to soul,

But the gods hid their deceitful goal.

To create a union of greatest power

And bring on the darkest hour.

Destroying the realm to start anew,

Only for the chosen few.

The fates, betrayed as lovers scorned,

Severed from the gods, forever torn.

In the gods, the fates could no longer trust:

The gods’ games and schemes so cruel and unjust.

So, wary of gods with motives sly,

The fates kept track, always nearby.

Controlling the threads of the gods’ creations,

Weaving tales of love through all generations.
