PROLOGUE.

Let me tell you the story of a very special boy. His birth was so unique that even the Olympians were there.

But let's go earlier in time, to his conception, a fact that was more than remarkable in his times.

He was the son of true love, conceived with the purest love that a person could feel for another.

He was meant to be important, even before his birth; he was a gift from the gods to his parents and a brilliant future had been foretold by the Oracle many years ago before his birth.

His parents were influential people in Macedonia and because of this; his position would be solid in the vast empire.

Despite his uniqueness, one of his parents suffered a lot, firstly because he didn't know how he was going to carry on and deal with this; secondly, he was alone, his partner was away and didn't have any idea of the ongoing situation. In fact, the conception of this baby was a secret; if it were discovered, many things could happen, most of them bad ones, as one of his parents was truly envied due to his closeness to the Macedonian Royal House; this person also held a position that was desired by many but especially by two long-life foes.

This baby was really a miracle, a dream came true but his conceiver knew that he'd have his life at risk until the baby's father came back; he also knew that if he sent a messenger with one single letter, he'd come back to his side without hesitation, but this was something he would never do, even though it was the deepest desire of his heart. His partner had gone in the conquest of more lands and he might not be back soon.

I was there, since the beginning; I looked after both of them; I saw my secret love suffer and I promised myself that I'd give up to my life to save them both.

I was his shadow, his companion, his armor against evil, his most loyal friend; I was his LadyLight, his sunshine, as he used to call me…

But I won't tell you the story, the baby's father will, from the very beginning until the end.
