the match (luke hemmings au)

Prologue

In Greek History there's a tale of how soulmates were created.

"Primeval man was round, his back and sides forming a circle; and he had four hands and four feet, one head with two faces, looking opposite ways, set on a round neck and precisely alike... He could walk upright as men now do, backwards or forwards as he pleased, and he could also roll over and over at a great pace, turning on his four hands and four feet, eight in all, like tumblers going over and over with their legs in the air; this was when he wanted to run fast."

Humans were created with four arms, four legs, and two faces. Zeus decided to split the humans to humble them.

"After the division the two parts of man, each desiring his other half, came together, and throwing their arms about one another, entwined in mutual embraces, longing to grow into one."

Each half would spend a lifetime looking for its pair. Its soulmate.

In this world, humans are born with a unique birthmark. Only two people are born with the same mark. Most people spend their whole lives looking for their match, but seldom seem to find them. Those lucky enough to stumble upon their match are taken to The City of S'agapo to start their lives together. Those who never find their match are left to stay searching, though many settle down with someone who is not their match and have children.

Only 10% of the world's population has found their match. What happens when Riley Greene finds out her match is Luke Hemmings?
