Greetings fellow Achaeans. I have recently started a new journal entited
"The Bloodline Theories". In it, I plan to write down my in depth
theories of birth, origin, genes, and bloodline. I have recently
completed the first article, and, at the urging of my parents, am now
going to place it here for everyone's enjoyment. If you'd like to
comment, feel free to send me a tell or message. I welcome all feedback.


We are born and then we are lost.

It is my belief that we are all born with parents. Every individual had
to come from somewhere. And at some point of our lives, most of us have
children and raise them. But why can't all of us remember our parents?
Or how is it we don't remember the birth of our beautiful children? The
answer is actually simple

e lose the memories of our past, intimate lives. Why? The Divine have
blessed us with the ability to forge our own paths, untouched and
unhindered from our past lives. It is because of this, though, that we
are unable to recall such fond memories as being raised by our parents.
All is not lost, however. Some of us have been reunited with our
"adoptive" parents. Or perhaps we have our "adoptive" children. While
most of us are content to know we are with a family, and do not give it
a second though beyond this, I've come to the conclusion there is more
than adoption at work. We are with our true families. We may likely
never remember our birth; our memories have been erased from that time.
However, deep down, there is always that maternal, or paternal, instinct
that is activated when near a child that you know is yours. Or, perhaps,
you feel particular close to a certain person, and look up to them like
you would a parent, and respect them in the same way. That is because,
deep down, we truly know who our family is.

Memories can be erased, but strong bonds cannot. Even though the Divine
have it in Their power to rid us of even this, They have chosen not to.
So that we may, if we wish, be with that family that we left to start
our lives at the age of eighteen.

For some of us who are reunited with our rightful parents, we'll regain
those memories lost through years of concentration and recollection;
other will never remember. But be reassured! More likely than not, your
current parents (if you have found them, and I wish you all to do just
that) are more likely than not to be your real ones.

Some of us may never know our true parents. They may have been killed
shortly after we were born, or something of the likes. If this is the
case, most of us will know this. Such a traumatic experience leaves a
deep scar - we will not forget so lightly.

Then the final group of people with parents are the "true adopted" ones.
These are people who have really been adopted; they are not with their
true parents. This may be because we found someone we care about more
than our true parents. Or, like in the above case, our real parents are
dead. Or even the slight chance that we never met our real parents, even
though they are still out there; that our lack of knowledge from our
previous life has caused us to be adopted by someone else without even
knowing this.

If this is the case, it may be the saddest. Sometimes we meet a child we
feel that parental bond with, and we -know- that they are our child But
they are already adopted And therefore, as good parents, all we can do
is stand and watch over them, helping them on their journey to grow.
