So I began my journey.
For so long I had yearned to complete the task passed down through generations, but I never thought it might happen. I needed vast amounts of his belief to become real.
I awoke for the first time in a forest by the road, which hosted an event: a faceless man (which I later found out to be my ancestor's god) about to annihilate four children. Before he could deal the first and final blow...
...they vanished into thin air.
A figure dressed in a black cloak and plague doctor mask greeted me cheerfully. Two things shocked me: he was able to see me, and he held an unconscious figure over his shoulder. I could feel it. The bastard was holding my 'twin' hostage! Instantly, there was a rivalry between him and I. Before either of us could attack the other, our master held us both by the necks with his dark branches and gave off many emotions, which translated into the message: 'This is a waste of time! Such a dispute between the both of you is enough to numb the minds of anyone. You may both leave. But if I catch you two fighting to the death, I will rip the assailant in two.' (This is a rough translation. However, that is what I believe the message was).
So we parted ways and I began my search. Those children before, however... Something felt strange about all of this. He had business with them, it looked like. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this blog!
Findings:
Many of my kind exist. People can live their whole lives without knowing about it, few can have ones that hijack bodies, and there are even people who have multiple ones. But because of the great consequence of entwined lives, most stay hidden in the shadows. From what I have gathered, each 'other self' is able to control an element. Of course, mine happens to be Time.
Few can see us. Only those with a gift have the privilege to gaze upon our appearance. It also means you'll never know when I'll strike.
