Prologue
(Damon)
I’m lonely even though I’m surrounded by people. The three of us have walked the world since what seems like the beginning of time, cursed to stay here and atone for our sins. We’ve been kings, war heroes, gladiators, musicians, and actors. We’ve reigned the hearts of men, and then faded from their minds when it was time to start anew. I didn’t want to fade away this time. I was always on the search for this thing that was missing, something I couldn’t name but felt incomprehensibly, almost like a hole in my heart that needed to be filled. Just as in other times we were gods in this century, worshipped by everyone, and I couldn’t deny that anyone observing from the outside would believe I had been more than blessed. I had everything I wanted, nothing was out of reach. Only I knew I was actually cursed. I found myself on my balcony most nights, brooding into the darkness, wondering what I was missing and if I would ever find it. I yearned to feel complete. I was tired of this emptiness.
