Six gods, one human. 20 years ago a prophecy was told that the gods future would depend on the choices of the seven at twenty one, these choices would either seal the gods from earth forever or herald a new understanding between gods and humans. The prophecy had been vague about the seven and gods and scholars had spent years trying to work out the riddle, who or what was the seven and then what was the twenty one. One of the scholars believed the twenty one referred to years and if that was the case then the prophecy would be coming to light within the next year. On the day of the prophecy was told six new gods were born , Attis, Boreas, Mors, Erebus, Helios and Pan each bore the same birthmark, scholars believed the boys were linked to the prophecy but were puzzled by the missing seventh. Speculation over the boys continued as they grew up and learnt and trained together, but the boys were competitive and most thought the prophecy was a joke without seeing a seventh mark. 20 years ago on the day the prophecy was told on Earth a baby girl was born under the stars by Angel Falls, her mother cried as she held her newborn baby in her arms, knowing she would not live to see her grow up. She prayed to the Goddess Leto to keep her baby protected and well and guide her when the time came. 20 years later after moving to Angel Falls with her guardian, Serenity started as the local librarian, she spent her days surrounded by stories and leather bound books, Angel Falls felt like home to Serenity, more than any other place she had lived before. Serenity like her name liked peace and the library was her haven, she had never felt comfortable with crowds or other people her age and had dreamt for years about six boys who went with her on adventures to save the world. Then Serenity's world is opened wide as family truths come out and old enemies appear. What happens when two worlds collide and dreams become reality.
