I was a Nyx. I couldn't believe it. I was born of the most ancient, rare, and powerful species. The Nyx were monsters, from what I heard. How could I be one? I didn't understand. The Gods were the Nyx. Nyx was just another term for god. The gods were killed in a mysterious battle of power. Dynasty vs Dynasty.

Immortals were an experiment that they created out of the three species, humans, animals, giving it their godly blood, and then making one big super species. Me being a Nyx, means I would have to have been descended from a god dynasty.

The Gods were all dead. Right?

I knew what happened to those who were god blood. Death. The people in the Greek times became fearful of them. And then the immortals had them killed. That couldn't be my fate. Could it? Did my family know? Was this what Caius was trying to hide from me? How could they? Those were all my thoughts as I passed out on the ground. I felt warm hands lift me up and place me onto a softer surface. Distant voices echoed as I tuned into the conversation.

"Yes we were aware because of her mother. Her mother was one, Odette, I believe her name was."

My mother was not "Odette". My mother was named Deception Miserae, Luna of Scarlet. I didn't know an Odette.

"Odette Koskinen, the legendary Hemera. And the father?"

"The Deimos! I thought he was just a myth! That would mean her brothers would be the Eros and Thanatos."

The Deimos! The creator of the rogues! My goodness. The Thanatos, I heard was the darkest immortal ever to live, the son of the Deimos. The Thanatos was gone. A beast like that couldn't be my brother. The Eros was a seductive rapist maniac!!!

"That would make her the Persephone of legend. She's that powerful. How could such a child live? What will happen when the kingdom finds out! They'll have her head on a silver platter! A God with both Thanatos and Eros sides-"

"They won't. Our kingdom is filled with good people. Everyone can see she is incapable of intending harm on those. Her mother is the Hemera. Her father is the Deimos. I believe that she is not evil. One can see that. She is the Persephone. Destined to be both light and dark."

Persephone? Hemera? Deimos? Those were terms I have never heard before. I couldn't understand.

"I know. The kingdom will support and protect her. But her Thanatos side should be restless for being locked away. It's only a matter of time before she-"

I let a groan, and eased myself up from the pillows.

"She's awake." They all said in unison.

"Brothers, I had the strangest of dreams. I was in the healing center and I'm a Nyx! Believe that!" I laughed hysterically and unladylike.

"It was a dream, right?"

"It wasn't a dream, sister. I'm sorry." I wished it was.

I couldn't be a Nyx. The bastards of immortal society. The monsters of our world. Everyone knew the story of the Gods. A selfish group of people obsessed with power. That couldn't be me, could it? I didn't want this. If I was Nyx, then why have my powers not shown? I have heard that the Nyx can transform into these terrible beasts! I heard they can feed off of other immortals and steal the powers and strength of others. That cannot be me.

That will not be me.

This was all so overwhelming, I jumped out of bed and dashed out of the room.

"Sister?"

"Sister!"

I didn't want to see them, nor did I want to face them. But why did they all keep something like this from me! I don't give a damn if they did it to protect me! I have the right to know. I can't bear to face them. Rell! Rell said he was my father! So he's obviously lying. Should I destroy him? I don't know. He had this glow that made me weak. He had a bond to me. I don't know what to think anymore!

I ran to the point of exhaustion. I realized I was in the forest.

Then there was a rustling of bushes. "Rell!"

"Rell?"

Suddenly I felt a hand cover my mouth and drag me towards the oak tree.

"Be still, Nikolaevna." Before I could say anything, my kidnappers hit me with a boulder.

Black and White.
