Time is eternal, no beginning and no end. And yet as humans we are on a constant mission to find when IT all began, how we came to be, and why we are here. We must have a purpose to this life, so many of us suggest. Some of us have found grand, solid purposes to our lives, while others continue to ponder, wallowing in the muck and mire of a horrid life thrust upon them without their consent.

KAYDEN'S POV "What do you mean by demigods exists?" Antoinette paces the entire length of the podium, her hands moving all over the place.
