Argentum: Blood and Honor

Prologue

"History, with all her volumes vast, hath but one page." -George Gordon Byron

     Long ago, before the sun and moon shined, a Princess of silver blood, Selene, and a Prince of golden blood, Helios, fell in love. Soon after, a baby was born. Fearing what a child of enemy bloodlines may be capable of, the Rulers of the Silver and Gold planets ordered the child be put to death. The parents, charged with treason against their home worlds, were bound within the sun and moon above of the planet Gaia, never to speak or touch again.

      Enraged by the death of his only child and the banishment of his lover, Helios cursed the children of Gold to darkness. "May the only light to touch your skin on Gaia be that of the Moon's. For my light within its Sun will bring death to all of golden blood from now until the end of time itself."

     Selene was not so vicious. No curse was made on her behalf. But instead, she shared a piece of knowledge. "Neither death or imprisonment can halt what has been destine for millenniums. Fate cannot not be cheated. The blood of Sliver and Gold will be within one, and she will challenge all laws and rule all worlds. This is prophecy."
