I saw it all: the great power that rose as heir to the lands and skies; she, the first Chosen to fail, who was the true Primal of Life; and what the union between the bringer of life and the bringer of bone would unleash. Two daughters. Two Kings. And the Great Conspirator. It was inevitable. The end would come.
