There is something to be said for forgotten children.
Something terribly cliche about them rising to powers beyond their parents. As if the parents even remember them, that's the joke there and you're supposed to laugh. There used to be more of us but destiny has a funny way of finding you. One of us led a rebellion against their own parent, striking her down enough for others to finish the job. And now another is stepping up to become the watcher of us all. But she made us a promise, a sweet little whisper in our ear.
She'd make them remember us.
Don't confuse these words for any sort of bitterness, we are happy in our own little ways. Being forgotten was not the worst thing to happen to us, in fact, one of us prefers such a thing. It's easier to move about when no one can recall who you are, that's what he'll tell you. For me, it hurt, but I've been turning that ache into something more productive and it's time that we started being heard. It's time to take an old friend up on a promise now that she's in her rightful place. For now, I have to set the stage, remind everyone just who we were. It's important that people learn where each of us came from, who our parents were, our circumstances.
Pay close attention now, I won't repeat myself.
