Prologue: The riddle: Through a path of fire you must
sojourn. Enter the mouth of the dragon and conquer the
flames. By thirty and five this must be done or insanity
will be won. Touch the heart of the fearsome beast – its
troubled heart you must ease. A life for a life must be
the offering to set in motion the hope for the future.
Once there was one then became two and one it must be
all anew. Only when the earth’s cry had been silenced,
and the fire’s of hell vanquished with the purity of
water, will love prevail and set the captives free. When
opposites combine, when love abounds, then created in
love one will be…the start of a new, brighter tomorrow.
In 1263 in England, the bloodlines of Deluge and Hakan
introduced to the world a bloodthirsty and never-ending
battle for the right to be the element of power that
would reign over the earth. Water and fire had gone up
against each other and the ensuing battle brought about
massive bloodshed and an imbalance in the circle of
life. Gardon Deluge and Galiel Hakan brought upon their
heads and their bloodlines, a curse of the ages…dragon’s
fire and the reign of insanity. Only when a certain
riddle had been solved would the curse be lifted. So it
was written.
It was the year 2000 and he so wanted to be free. He had
lived with the curse of the dragon for over seven
hundred years and had suffered greatly. He cursed his
very name – Galiel Hakan (redeem by fire). He had
learned his lesson. He now accepted that water and fire
were equal.
Halen Deluge (restore by water) had been in and out of
psychiatric hospitals ever since she was twenty years
old. It seemed that she had inherited her father’s
family curse…insanity by thirty-five. But she needed
answers. There was only one thing for her to do and that
was to go to where it all started…England.
Galiel feared the day of freedom would never come for
now only one from the Deluge line remained. If Halen
Deluge didn’t solve the riddle that was written within
Gardon Deluge’s mausoleum, then he, Galiel Hakan, was
doomed to forever exist as a dragon of stone. Would the
last of the Deluge line have mercy upon him? Would she
forgive him and accept his forgiveness? Or would she
succumb to eternal insanity? Would there ever be peace
between their two bloodlines? He prayed that it would be
so.
