Prologue
The darkness of the crossroads was broken by the flickering torchlight held
aloft by three women. They strode forward with confidence, faces set with
purpose.
The women’s ages were hard to pin down, but the one on the left
was obviously the youngest, her red hair in a plait thrown over one
shoulder. The eldest stood on the right, her snowy white hair piled on top of
her head in a messy bun, small lines forming as she frowned. The third
stood in the middle, her hair in waves of red curls framing her face. The
women bore a strong resemblance to each other, their eyes a startling blue.

A tall man with long black hair shot liberally with silver stood
waiting at the center of the crossroads, seemingly unconcerned at their slow
approach. In his hand he twisted a small white flower absently.
The women halted at the intersection, their expressions ranging
from wary alertness to outright fury.
“Greetings, Elus, god of cunning, strength and pain,” the eldest said,
her voice firm.
“Greetings, Ladies Hecate. Kitty, Kate, and Kathryn, goddesses of
fate, magic and the spaces between. You have called me, so I have come.
Why have you summoned me?”
He stepped forward until he was only a few feet from the three
women, his blue eyes roaming icily over each of them in turn, evaluating
and dismissive.
The woman in the middle, the one he called Kate, stepped forward.
Across her face emotions ran like water: anger, regret, sadness,
determination.
“We summoned you to put an end to your interference with the
mortals and order you to withdraw to your realm. You have caused untold
damage to the earth, and it needs to stop. Now.”
Elus smiled at her slowly, the small sprig of hemlock rolling
between his fingers.
“And if I say no?” he asked, nonchalantly.
“Then we will summon the other gods of the Pantheon to support us
as we remove you from power,” the older woman said, stepping forward.
“We have long abided by the accords that kept all from meddling in the
realms of man. We will end you, if we have to.”
To their obvious consternation, he laughed.
“You and what gods, Hecate? The Pantheon are all but wisps of
power, save me and you. No one knows them. No one remembers them. No
one worships them. My Elusians have made me powerful beyond measure.
Alexandria will soon rule the world.”
“But at what cost, Elus?” The younger woman cried, stepping
forward. “Your use of power is tearing apart the fabric of reality! You
already destroyed parts of the world when you began your interference with
the Alexandrian bloodline. Whole countries were destroyed! If you
continue, the world will end!”
Elus reached out and stroked the young girl’s face. Her eyes were
bright with fury.
“Ah, Kitty. There is nothing so empowering as the righteous
indignation of the young. You know little of power, though, young one. I
could teach you so much, if you should choose to join with me.”
“As if, asshole,” she hissed, jerking away from his touch.
“It’s not so farfetched,” he said, turning his attention to Kathryn.
“Kathryn and I were lovers millennia before either of you joined the
Hecate.”
