She was born on a night when the stars sang. The moon stood still, wrapped in a veil of silver mist, as if watching the earth breathe her into existence. Her cry did not sound like a newborn's wail; It sounded ancient ...like something remembering itself......They called her Forever, because even in her first breath she felt too infinite to belong to one lifetime. The women of her bloodline gathered that night, robed in deep indigo and burnt gold. They were Keepers, Seers, Dream walkers, Wizards, Warriors, Priestess, and Prophets of the unseen. They whispered to the wind that another gate had now been opened. That through this child, something sacred would now, return to the earth.Her mother, Solenne, was so beautiful and yet very bitter, powerful and wounded. Her mother's eyes carried the glint of old magic and old pain. She held Forever with trembling hands. She was filled with both, love and resentment fighting within her veins. This is the child she did not want, she tried so hard to push her away, the elders told her that this child would be blessed. But oh, still, she sat there cold. She had once been a lightworker, a great Oracle, but she had turned her power into what she now wore as armor. Somewhere along the way, her magic had become a mirror of her rage, unhealed trauma and rebellion. She just knew how to cloak herself, to manipulate, and make others think, Forever is the problem.... Her children came later, through more trials, five radiant souls born under constellations no one had ever named. Three beautiful sons and two extremely beautiful daughters, each carrying a sound, a key, a gift. The eldest played the trumpet, summoning lightning when his emotions were pure. The oldest and youngest daughter's voice could calm storms. The baby son was a drummer who broke barriers and activated realms, The middle son played harp the prophetic strings of life, Her daughters were also; cellists, flutists; their music became medicine. Together they formed a symphony of light, frequencies that awakened the sleeping earth. Ahriel. The boy she took in as her own, her nephew. Forever's father, Elion, had been a gentle warrior, a man who read the stars like stories and carved powerful sigils into stone, his intelligence was uniquely divine.And from that day forward, Forever became both daughter and orphan, child and chosen...his life was stolen by jealous tritors and the very forces he fought to protect her from. Darkness entered their realm that night, . . Now having to find her own way...... The air shimmered. For a moment, she thought she heard her father's harp echoing from beyond the veil she smelled his scent rising from the east.... . That was the morning the prophecy began to awaken "I call forth every gift that has slept in our bloodline... Every seed planted by those who came before us... Every power hidden beneath fear, and silence... I summon it now by the authority of Light and Love. "
