AN: Oh, hi guys! Yes, it is I again, the great and genius-like Akhet! Mwahahaha! Anyways, I'm back with the third installment of the Companions of the Night series. Hope you enjoy.
The Daughter had lost her mind. The goddess, Selene, could not even save her. Her protections were thwarted by the god, Anubis. He wanted revenge against the Daughter, Maris.
Maris heard the low, lazy voice in her head, coaxing her on. It whispered in her ear of the evil she was, how her loyal members had rebelled against her. The voice covered her memories with its silkiness, and she believed that she was the evil force called the Atrox.
Furious, Selene traveled into the Underworld to meet with Anubis. The death god laughed at her request to let Maris go. His fatomless black eyes lit up. This was well-deserved revenge. So, Selene watched Anubis darkly. She knew of his plan to make Jessimar's descendant one of his own children. That forced her to make that child not his Daughter, but hers as well.
That angered Anubis now. Who was she to disturb her plans? So, he sent the crazed Maris into Tartarus, making her still believe that she was the Atrox. There she was with the Cincti. And that's when both the god and goddess lost control of the situation.
The Prince of the Night fell in love with the crazed prisoner. When the Atrox found out about this treachery, it wasn't angry. It let go of the Prince, but only under a deal. The Daughter, his bride, would only have three children. The youngest would be a girl, and she would be one of the most important pieces in securing a victory over the Daughters. After her sixteenth birthday, she would join the Atrox, or the Prince and his sons would be witness to a never-ending torture- the girl's torture.
The Prince agreed.
