SUMMARY: This is the actual story line that has made it to the final book... Enjoy and please comment and rate the story.There are countless creatures that inhabit the known world, constantly evolving, constantly changing to suit their environment or creators. Occasionally the selection of this evolutionary change is elusive, kept secret by those it discriminately happens to affect. For those it happens to life is forever interrupted ... different. Strength is found though in their secret numbers, when they find that they are not secluded, but included in something different ... something special. But when their special secret is discovered, they are tormented by ignorance ... fear. Rejected from long alliances, friendships, even family; they are hunted, and driven from all that is familiar. Life for them is forever changed ... interrupted. Pulling themselves together, those who remain find dignity in taking flight from their prosecutors, in surviving.
She looked down from above watching the sorrow that war has brought to those she had created. The one that created them is full of sorrow, sorrow for failing to protect, to protect those she had changed to make beautiful from the ignorance of others. Pity is found from above like a dove of peace. "Take flight to this place" she the divine offered "and there you will find yourself high atop the sprawling clouds of solidarity and proliferate what was apocryphally rumored that which I truly created to be beautiful."
*****
The Twin Falls castle an enormous granite rock formation that split the five hundred foot falls in two. Long ago carved by labors that came to call this inhabitable place a home, built for defense against the many enemies that the people of Twin Falls have had over the centuries. With not a thought being put towards comfort, the people of Twin Falls learned to enjoy the security that the walls of granite and the chilling water provided over personal enjoyments lest they could find other foolhardy accommodations near the riverside towns close to the castle.
The twin falls empty into the Shrolear River flanking the grand castle creating an ever-present misty fog that fills the air and creates a thick coat of multi-green mosses on the outer walls of the castle. It is at the base of Twin Falls castle that the Shrolear River begins its journey south and carves deep canyons in the hard red clay as it snakes a path for miles and eventually diverges into many other rivers beyond the southwest borders of Twin Falls.
Life at Twin Falls has found a change, an evolution.
