Chapter 1: The Beginning
Calandra, Goddess of Night, and Anthea, Goddess of Day, are flying around the world at opposite ends to bring night and day to the world, as they have since the beginning of time. Zeus, King of all Gods and Goddesses gave them this task, because mortals cannot survive in complete darkness, nor in complete light. But, since this happened at the beginning of time, no one remembers why Zeus handed this task to Calandra and Anthea.
Anthea, flying over China:
"I get so lonely, after all these centuries, flying around and around, with only the occasional God or Goddess coming to say Hi! or tell me what's going on at Olympus. Wouldn't it be nice, if I could just stay in one place, and the whole world is sunny and bright? I wonder how if that could happen. If anything, I'd have to get rid of Calandra first, the night lover. What does she see in darkness anyway? It's so gloomy!"
And then it struck her.
"Why don't I REALLY get rid of Calandra? Then my wish would come true! That's what I'll do. She won't be expecting me." And with that, she turned around with the evilest grin on her face.
Calandra, flying over America:
"I'm bored. I wish I could be like the other Gods And Goddesses, and live on Mount Olympus. Then there'd be something to do, other than fly around in circles forever. Why is it all of a sudden getting brighter? This has never happened before!"
"Because the last time saw me, you still a little girl!" answered Anthea as she came into Calandra's field of vision. Then she started trowing balls of sunlight at Calandra, blinding her.
"That was all to easy. And practical too." she looked over at Calandra, who was moaning in pain. "Oh, stop moaning! I hate that!"
Then Calandra took off, into the deeps of space.
