"Well what do you think? That you can do, control me?"
"That's precisely what I know I can do"
"You think too highly of yourself," her lip was quivering as she confidently spurred out those words, she was afraid of the man with the dagger and knew that that was her final night on earth "try living like us for once"
"Hm, I'll take a rain check on that" and threw the dagger at her neck, her blood running everywhere, the linoleum floors stained crimson as the girl's limp body fell to the ground with a small crack in her neck and an ear piercing scream filled the hallways.
"Mom?" Andromeda was running through the castle, her dress in her hands so she wouldn't trip over the blue satin "What's going on?"
She fell to her knees in despair as she saw her mother's limp body, fallen on the floor. She let out a deafening cry, fearing she was next, but she wasn't.
Ophiuchus leapt off of the patio and into the dark night, Andromeda held her mother's body in sorrow, her once bright dress now dark.
"Queen Cassiopeia..." a guard was right outside the door when andromeda was handling the corpse "did you do this, princess?"
"no, of course not- I would never!" She swore
"Princess, this is your dagger" the knight said, prying the dagger out of the queen's neck, revealing the initials
'a.n.'
"Andromeda Nova..." andromeda read "but I didn't do it"
"Shes insane," another guard pitied the girl "I knew it since she was born"
"No!" She cried "It wasn't me, I saw Ophiuchus!"
"Andromeda," the guard started "he's been dead for years"
"That's princess andromeda to you" the girl scolded
"Not anymore"

A new Council. Seven deadly trials. One chance at becoming a god.
The Council of Gods are the protectors of the galaxy, bringing peace and prosperity to the planets. As the times change, a new council will step up to take their place on the thrones of Eden. And now, a new changeover has begun.
Eleven gods have proven themselves over the centuries and now, one more is left to complete the Council.
Gemini isn't the first to compete for the last spot on the Council, but may she be the last? The stakes are high as the looming threat of death hangs over the failure of any of the trails.
With her parents stepping down from the old council and her sister on the new one, the expectations are raised, but Gemini isn't afraid. She will do whatever it takes to achieve what she had always dreamed of-to be on the Council and work with the other gods to bring about a better Eden that the world had envisioned, something that the previous Council had promised, but always failed to do.
Will she make her family and country proud, or will she die trying, like the many before her? Can she prove herself worthy to become a god?
