***CLEARANCE- Full sizes only at $7.50

In the time of early man, Lord Time met Lady Luck.

He swept her off her feet and she had no choice but to fall in love with him and agree to marry him, which she did with all haste. After all, how could she not... he was the love of her life.

After a large and beautiful wedding, the new Lord and Lady of Destiny traveled the world visiting all cultures, all peoples, and all creatures.

Until they decided it was time to settle down on their island home, Magaram with beaches of white sand that mermaids and mermen sunned on, snowcapped mountains that reached to the sky, forests of animals and trees, and plains with the finest greenery.

On the top of the smallest mountain, the Destinys' build their home. It was beautiful castle with balconies and large open rooms so that grandmother Wind and grandfather Thunder could visit anytime they desired.

Soon enough, they found that they were to be parents. Nothing have been so desired by the young couple then to expand their family and have children of their own after seeing all the families in the world.

Magick was born on a windy, thundery day, signs that her grandparents were celebrating with her parents on her birth. She had the beauty of her mother, with hair the color of ripened wheat, eyes the color of the ocean and skin the color of milk. And her personality matched her coloring, light and happy. Always a smile on her face, Magick became much loved by her parents and the other occupants of the island.

And as would be, Magick was joined in her family by a younger brother, Mystery. But where has Magick was light like her mother, Mystery had his father's look.. hair the color of leaf in fall, eyes the color of lapis, and skin that was continually reddened by the sun to match his hair. But he had a loving spirit and a happiness that radiated to everyone around him.

With their family complete the Destiny's set about teaching their children the secrets of the world..how to feel the power of the universe and how to love the others that surrounded them. There was so much to learn, but the powers the children were gifted with came quickly and strongly so life seemed to run at a fast pace, with grandfather thunder and grandmother wind helping out.

But as with all things, time sneaks up on each and all of us, even Destiny. With the look of shock on her face, Lady told her Lord that they again were expecting another addition to the family.

Lord was also surprised, but when the shock wore off, it was a wonderful surprise and much anticipated by all.

But anticipation can also be the undoing of some and so it was for the Destiny family...

Instead of just another addition, the Destiny's received two....Myshap and Mayhem....a pretty dark haired girl with dark eyes and a voice that would carry throughout the world, and Mayhem, a light son with eyes of the ocean as his older sister, but with a stubbornness that ballads would be written about in the future.

But as the children grew, the parents relaxed and calmed, the children were now growing and adapting to family life as the others and were a delight to their parents.

But the animals knew looks could be deceiving and, as with everything, it could be the light and also the darkness...

And Mayhem, and Myshap.. were just starting..

And since this was their favorite time of the year, they all knew in their hearts it was just the beginning of a new series of changes that were coming their way.
