Chapter Text
“The Power of the soul is the power every living being holds, the gift of the divine to all creatures in nature: The power of choice, of free will.”
In a world where gods and humans once lived among each other freely, the power of one’s soul was often the only thing that remained honest and true. And while the gods slowly disappeared, their descendants lived on.
Demigods were once revered for their connection to the heavens, however, the godly blood that had once allowed them to attract crowds and gain glory slowly became tainted with the blood of man, leaving them with nothing.
Cultures changed, the world evolved and progressed, but one thing stayed the same - souls. Every creature, be it a man, deer, tree, or ant, has a soul. But the gods became history; history turned to legend, and legend became myth.
Today, only the descendants of these mythical beings know the truth. They are raised like any other human, before being bestowed this knowledge at the age of 11. Even as the world continues to move around them, their old bonds of friendship, rivalry, and kinship are still as strong as ever.
