TJ weaved his arm with motions he was wholly familiar, his violin responded in kind with melodies that seemed to send his own thoughts into a daze. The intonations from his instrument of choice released music so sweet, he, himself, felt compelled mimic his own violin. - TJ Hammond’s eighteenth birthday was steadily approaching and his powers were manifesting. With his older brother guiding his steps, he should be just fine. Right?

They meet in battle, on opposing sides of a war instigated by their fathers. One long dead and the other using a cold, iron, fist to drive the war on until only one immortal species is left.

They meet in battle, on opposing sides of a war as the blood of a beloved sister flows like a river until there is no more. Yet as a lightening bolt strikes hallowed ground, they are both struck by something ancient, primal, that ties them together.

They meet in battle, on opposing sides of an endless war. A love like theirs was strong.
