Once, a goddess was cursed so that she would fade into nothingness, forgotten by her followers, until someone worthy of her legacy and the embodiment of all her desires was born. When that day came, she championed the boy and raised him as her hero, but he was destined to be torn from her by the encapsulation of all her disgust, and soon she faded and was forgotten again.
Now her champion has been reborn, 100 years after the original curse was cast. As always, the goddess is determined to save him from his undoing, and as always, she will fail.
This time, her champion's fated ruin is a young girl named Thana. The goddess sends her champion to kill Thana, but instead sparks the beginning of her own destruction.
loosely based on Etruscan society.
