Prologue to "The Lasting" By Kevin Turner

I tell myself every day that I understand why he did it, believing that that’s the way it had to be. I allow myself to accept and believe that it was for the best… and for the preservation of the world and everyone we loved… for everyone we love. Perhaps it was. Maybe he was right maybe my task now is to take up in his footsteps. But am I really worthy of defending the world from such evil that I have seen in my day? Is it even possible for this person that I’ve become to do that? Even after all of this? I think not… But I can try, and that I will… Rule #21, “Defeat is a state of mind that only you can consent to make your own.”
