PREFACE

I think I was meant to be like this. I don’t know what else I could’ve been, but there’s not a chance in hell that I was meant to be normal. It took me a long time to decide it, but I really think that I was supposed to be who I am. The power I possessed was the biggest burden that a human could ever carry, but at the same time it was an irreplaceable gift, given to me for a reason. Someone, I don’t really know who, knew long before me that I was strong enough. They knew I would be able to survive. They knew that somehow I would be able to live life fully, despite the presence of the power.
It sucked every bit of life from a human. The power had unlimited strength. It was unconquerable, for it could never be killed. Nothing weakened it. It was not human. It was the farthest thing from human that could be described. It was the most amazing thing that had ever been created, and also the most dangerous.
For my whole life I had thought I was alone. No one I had ever spoken to had been able to even comprehend the feelings I had. Even those people who knew the truth about my power could never come close to knowing and feeling how I suffered. By the time I was eleven, I had given up all hope that anyone would ever be able to help me. I had never expected or even thought that another human could ever carry the wondrous burden that I held. The power wasn’t meant for humans. It was supernatural, something that only sci-fi novels held within their pages. It was surreal for even one human to have the power. Never in my greatest fantasies had I ever imagined another.
But there was another.
He was the only other human I had ever met who possessed the same gift as I.
He was the only other human who had ever fully understood what I had spent my life trying to explain.
He was the only other human who was strong enough to withstand the power.
He was the only other Carrier to ever live in human form.

And he was there, waiting on the other side of the long narrow path that would lead me to my destiny.
