Join the battle today. Chapter 1 He always hated this part. The drifting. The nothingness. A fading agony was the strongest sensation in his lightless world. This was familiar though. He had done this many times before, hadn’t he? Murky recollections bubbled up from the depths of a vast power. One surfaced and restored a lost memory. The agony—it was from severing his soul in two. Another memory bubbled to the surface. He’d been reborn as a gargoyle. Though he hadn’t yet actually been born. He was unfinished still, sleeping, dreaming, and growing. Many lifetimes had started like this. That acknowledgment unleashed a floodgate of memories. Slowly they filed themselves into order. Though he sensed there were many more still to return, lifetimes of memories. That vast and ancient power? That was him, his magic and essence. But that was only half of it. He was missing something vital still—his other half. He now knew who he was, what he was. The male half of the Avatar. The most ancient servant of the Divine Ones. His divine parents had a sense of humor he supposed, for he was far from ancient at this moment, an unborn gargoyle growing within his dryad mother’s tree. It would be two more years before he emerged fully mature and ready for battle. Hmm, he mused. He could remember that much but not his name? He had one, surely? All creatures did. Even if they were secret names only known to the Divine Ones. But recollection was an imperfect thing, even for him. He was sure his elusive name would come to him in time. More memories surfaced from the core of his essence and with them the knowledge of how to wake his other senses. Ah, that was a handy memory. Better than a name.
