   Summary

   The Thirteenth’s siblings had power beyond measure, skill greater than the finest craftsman, and wisdom more vast than the stars. They had relics and gifts in abundance, frames that could do anything they desired, gorgeous and efficient. But the Thirteenth? Primus had only seen fit to grant him one gift.

   His spark was made immortal, destined to always return to the living realm so that he could fulfill his purpose. What was that purpose? The Thirteenth had no idea, but he was willing to find out.
