Prologue

Connections form all around us in life, through the people we meet and the things we touch. These connections, though some may only last for a couple of seconds, leave behind a mark that few remember but that always remains. Times upon time, the large events in the history of the world have been influenced by these connections, these threads of life. These fulcrums for change, whether for progression or regression, have been influenced by more than just these threads. They have been influenced by those who can manipulate those threads, ones who have had social power in the world. Some of those manipulators are politicians, some are philanthropists, and many are activists in a variety of causes. For the purposes of continuity, we shall call these people seers, for their ability to see these threads. Depending on the will of the strongest seer of an age, society would either progress into a new age of light, or fall back into another dark age. This is the story of a seer at the tail end of a dark age, one of the last seers to exist after their exposure and defamation in the world. This is the story of the child’s journey in a world of shattered land and ideals, a rise through conflict to become what one must. This is the story of the last threads of humanity.
