Two young men whose destinies are entertwined find themselves swept along the currents of Fate. Talented individuals are appearing, people with odd abilities that some find unnatural, those who are aware feel a shift in the tides. The Night Mother watches. (Tropes ahead! I'm writing this for fun, I've not written much before but I'm a sucker for all the usual fantasy tropes, and wanted to see what I could do to flip it a bit. I'd call this a bit of satire, as it's intentionally cheesy and will definitely be filled to the brim with tropes. You've got the Chosen One, Old Man Magic Mentor, Witty Sidekick, End of the World, Powerful Artifacts, the Waiting Evil, you name it! Sit back, have a laugh, cringe a little, and enjoy! ~Alex)
