Destiny descends upon us all, fate shapes our futures. Immortality is not always sought, and it is not what it seems.

It was, of course, thrust upon me against my will. I never sought it out, I never even thought it possible. Through a freak accident I achieved a form of immortality, and now that I find it slowly slipping away, I feel it necessary to write down thousands of years of my history before Death, my old friend, finally welcomes me into his arms.

AN: Alternate timeline/world building. This'll take a very, very long time.

Prologue

The Old One

Prologue

It is, of course, in my last years that I write this. Millenia have flown by, and Equus has changed much. While I only write of my history, you will find that it contains much of the history of the world up to this point. As such, names have changed, and none knows this more than I, the Old One. I have been known by many names throughout my life, and hopefully this work will dispel a few legends surrounding me.

It is not, however, only my name that has changed. As such, I have compiled a glossary of sorts, following this brief note. It contains the current names, followed by any name they have been known as in my life.
