My Other Half

The baby's name was Madeleine. Around her tiny neck, she wore a necklace smooth, thinly sliced slab of polished, purple amethyst, flawless except for the jagged cut down the middle. In another birthing center, in another sector, lies a young boy who wears a necklace, identical to Maddeleine's. They have no idea how long it will take, the obstacles they will have to overcome, to see eachother.

Long ago, there was The Battle of All Ages. The Battle destoyed everything we knew, and our old lives could no longer be continued. So, out of the few that were left, a council was formed of the bravest, wisest men, known as the Great Ones. The Great Ones created a new country, and a new lifestyle. The country's name was Ladéne. Ladéne was divided into 7 Sectors, each one mining a different stone. As the years went by, the Great Ones were gifted with great powers. They could see into the future, tell your fate. In order to make the mating process easier, the Great Ones used their powers to foretell each person's soul mate. When they are born, they both recieve half of a stone from the male's sector, and wear it as a necklace, As they come closer to finding eachother, the stone glows. Everyone has a soulmate. It's up to them to find eachother.
