In the ancient times when glaciers shaped the mountain ranges and canyons, the oceans ravaged continents and left rivers and lakes in their place, and the stars shone brilliantly against an untarnished backdrop of satin night sky...a seed was planted. As the world grew, the indigenous peoples of the globe migrating and populating throughout the land, the seed grew unnoticed, nestled quietly away in a wooded grove teeming with plant life and brush. Centuries and generations came and went, all the while the seed grew...blossoming into a beautiful and magical plant. Magical, you say? Indeed...for this plant contained magnetic properties that attracted only the life forces of those destined for greatness. It set itself to work, its existence unknown on an unpopulated continent across the Atlantic from the humans of the world. Unknowingly drawn by its powers, a single man felt the call...the call of discovery. With the discovery of this new continent came civilization. Wars were fought and won, land conquered and claimed. The beautiful plant only grew stronger as years passed, patience was its greatest virtue. Still compelled by an unexplainable desire, mankind forged his path across this new continent (manifest destiny? i think not), leaving cities and villages in their wake. Still centuries crept by, and still the plant was undeterred. It's mission near completion, it began to subconciously draw its targets to it. Jackson and Sully were the first to arrive, not knowing their purpose or destiny...Nathan took a little longer. already equipped for their fate, the boys began training in earnest, still unaware of the destiny that lay before them. The quartet still not complete, it was time for the Plant to unleash his final effort...his life span near over, he knew he must pull out all the stops to fulfill his mission before his time expired and the world fell into peril. At long last, Doug arrived...not knowing the subliminal forces that had drawn him to his current location. Yes...the plant was located in Lexington, Kentucky, and finally died only hours after drawing the four chosen ones together. Today a monument stands where the plant once stood, it is of a great Seer, a like-minded mage who knew the ultimate plan of the Plant. Their life forces drawn together, Nathan, Jackson, Doug, and Sully became One. Destined to save humanity from it's own destruction, the music of these four may be mankinds only hope.
