This is the END...or the Beginning? Through epic tales of times long past, there is often the expression “Once upon a time...” This phrase is used to encapsulate a vague idea of who and where and why and when. This soft introduction into a story is how you would start most Tales...but not this particular one. This time there is no fantasy or smudged timeline. There is only the harsh truth. The unshakable millenniums. The undeniable tragedy. The Law of Equivalent Exchange. A Tale of Conclusion or Origins? A Tale of Triumph or Trepidation? A Tale that needs to finally be told. All of his young life Brandon has struggled in a fog of cruelty and confusion spun into a web of misery by the people who despised him, used him, and BROKE him...even those that claimed to love him most. Fresh from the hellish nightmare of the Base where and he and his lover were pressed and beaten beneath the sadistic and powerful hands of the Brotherhood; Brandon and Ezekiel are eventually able to escape, but are then left to collect the shattered pieces of all that they know. They are left with some small answers...and also too many painful questions to count. They are left with no other choice, but to face this darkness haunting their love and to fight against it....or lose each other in the onslaught. So now with no other place to turn, and his mind and soul tortured by vague perceptions and unspoken lies, Brandon seeks out the truth behind it all. His abused heart strengthened by the love he has received from Ezekiel, this man, this Druid, this Mana User...Brandon the Child of SUN and MOON... He will make a decisive move to uncover truths and answers that will crumble and pale in comparison to who and what he will soon become. To what he will CHOOSE to become for the love of those he holds dear, for all that he knows, and cherishes and is destined to do. But....at what price? Ezekiel had believed that he could shelter Brandon. He knew love is powerful, but even now their new relationship is one drunken with danger, unfulfilled passions and unrealized Bonds. Ezekiel teased, tormented and utterly overcome by his love, his need and his desire to protect Brandon will be caught in a whirlwind of powerful beings who are all determined to get to his Druid....one way or another. To see Brandon through the storms trying to tear them apart and trying to divide the very heavens and earth around them; Ezekiel will call on the unshakable loyalty of his family. Ezekiel will also have to call upon a part of himself that he had always pushed aside. A side he fears. A part of him that could bring him to ruin, but if he wants to have a chance of protecting the man who has stolen his soul...and given him purpose in living, then the Guardian is going to need to find a unknown power inside and become something unknown and reshaped by their connection. Ezekiel will have to face both Gods and illusions to be with a man that has become his closest connection to life and so the Reaver is willing to face the coming darkness...and he’s willing to face insanity, death and tragedies of old. Things only remembered by the Mountains shall come back to light. And to protect all that he holds dear Ezekiel must vanquish the mysteries that would stand in his way. No matter the price!
