                                                 Prologue

My name is Peter MacStevans and I once walked with the Immortals of our world. My job for countless Centuries was to log and secure the records of the ages, I was known as the Historian. Recently that all changed as I no longer have a place in the physical realm. I was killed in battle trying to do the right thing. However, my duties and abilities to observe the world go far beyond death. Soon there will be a new Historian, the man I sacrificed my life for will see to that. My Grandson, L.J. Stevans is in the middle of conflict that goes farther back than even he could know. I have faith in him, unconditional faith. He is different than any mortal I have ever encountered. He has many gifts at his disposal but it is his ability to shoulder the burdens of his life that makes him truly remarkable. He will undoubtedly need every skill he has learned in his life as well as every ounce of his fortitude that allows him to carry onward in the darkest of times. At my request he will soon be on his way to the location of my storage vault, where he will learn some very difficult truths. What I know that he doesn't, is that he is not the only one looking for my vault. His three remaining sisters are also searching for my storage area. Still L.J. has a leg up on them, fore not only does he have the exact location, he also has in his possession the only key to open it.

Although passing through the void and into this other realm I find myself in now is certainly enlightening. I must admit it is very hard knowing all the things I know now and realizing there is nothing I can do to help my Grandson. I'm not complaining though, I knew what I was doing when I made my sacrifice. Things must change in the world for it to continue to keep on turning. L.J. is the key to it all and finding my vault is only the tip of the iceberg, he will soon be putting himself in even greater danger very soon. The time is drawing closer to when he must seek out a new Historian amongst the remaining Immortals, and not all of them look as kindly upon humanity as I do.

L.J. and his ever growing army have been preparing themselves for the events to come for the last six months. Aside from the training Bradley has been undertaken, there have been strong bonding among the group. A better word may be accepting for the new siblings Rebecca and Wesley who have been forming that Brother and Sister bond they were deprived over the years. And just as L.J. thought Wesley has been a great training partner for not only Bradley but for himself as well. If I had to guess though, I would say the strongest bond has been among Rebecca, L.J. and their new born twin babies. Of all the things L.J. has done in his life time, fatherhood is what he has enjoyed most. He knows that soon his life as well everyone else that is with him will be in great danger. So he is enjoying every moment he has with his family.

Now is almost time to venture forth and find my replacement, once that happens I will no longer be able to make contact with the physical world. I can only hope L.J. and his family will find their way through the darkness that is building up around them.

Not everything has been perfect though. One thing in particular has been doubly hard on the group,even more on L.J.. Out of all of the technology that was left behind from the past civilizations why did it have to be the internet infrastructure to go down. As you already know L.J. had been depending on it for not only his Chronicles, but his link to the other side of the world as well.The worst part of it all seems to be that not only does nobody seem to know how to fix it but not one amongst them has an idea as to why it would go down now. I guess it could just be coincidence. Then again what in L.J.'s life turns out to be as simple as coincidence?

Every day since the net went down Rebecca has checked on it to see if L.J. would be able to begin Chronicling their lives once again. She never lost hope, even after checking the status lights for six months only to be getting the same old red light indicating the network was still down. However this day as she went over to check she would be rewarded with a green light, much to her joy and jubilation. So excited she was that she didn't even wait for her husband to return home to reach out to the world they had been cut off from for the past half year. That green light opened the door to once again share with the world what they were trying to do. She knew Logan has been waiting to tell stories from the last six months but for now, she could be the one telling the world about the events as she saw them. It was an opportunity she would not pass up.

This may be the last time I am able to contact those of you in this realm so I will leave you with this. History is the key to answers in life, just make sure you are willing to pay the cost of what those truths you seek turn out to demand from you.
