A/N :: This is rated PG-13 for language. It is going to be a DOTM story,
focusing on Catty as the main character. I will try to keep the story in
the same format as all the other DOTM books in the series. It takes place
after the 9th book where Jimena is no longer a daughter.
Disclaimer :: I do not own any of the characters by Lynne Ewing, yet the story is mine since I wrote it but not the series. Please don't copy =)
Prologue
Once, the goddess Selene was powerful. She was the savior to the people. She had reigned the darkness, by adding the moon. The moon shined brightly in the dark sky. When people looked up at the full moon, they were astonished by its beauty. Once a month the moon turned into a sliver, then disappeared. Once, villagers were afraid of this night since darkness ruled. Everybody was afraid to leave the safety of their houses. But after that night the moon began to return, slivers at a time, until it reached the full moon again. It reminded the people that good was better than evil, that light was better than dark. The people questioned the goddess, and she had answered. There has to be a balance, for there will never be no evil, and if you pursue to find a place where darkness never comes, you will fail. Light needs the darkness, just as bad must be countered with good. The people admired the words of wisdom that she preached to them. Eventually, the people died out, and the stories that people knew were true, became myths, and eventually legends. Selene saw how people never gazed at the moon only giving it a mere glance, never admired its beauty, not knowing what the moon meant, never noticed the realm of darkness upon them. She decided to punish them.
A/N :: If you read the story please review! I won't continue if I do not receive reviews. It seems kind of pointless if no one reads the story. Thanks!
