"I have no jar of sweet honey between my arms," I murmured, my voice soft, "No shy lamb trailing innocently behind me. I offer to you, Queen of the Gods, only what I owe as of now: my mind, and my body."
As if my blood could become ambrosia, and she could see her beloved moon in the grey of my eyes, and not a general's blood dirtying my royalty.
A whisper of the night breeze brushed my name on my skin.
Arke Basileus.
And yet, none had spoken.

A pair of silver eyes crinkle at the moon, and shadowy fingers start untangling the golden thread, as fresh as youth.
It is said no man can escape from the Moires; not even princes of Arcadia, not even the Queen of the Gods.
And when Eros shoots his silver arrow, they will glimpse Fate's face.
