The Red Thread of Destiny

There is an ancient legend that spans across the Asian continent about a certain red thread that binds two lovers together by true love. The Red Thread of Destiny cannot be affected by its possessor no matter the circumstance, time, or place. The thread will endure through it all. No matter how much the thread stretches or tangles, it will remain unscathed.

Some believers in the Red Thread of Destiny also state if the love is true, the lovers can feel their pinkies tighten or see a shimmer of red twine twinkle when they hold hands. Otherwise, the thread remains unseen. Some legends posit you can trip over this thread. If lovers seemingly fall over nothing, this is why. Believers also say that when these things begin to happen, the pair are growing nearer to each other.
