The Reaper of the Stars

In the days before skyscrapers, before the continents shifted into their current place, before even written word, it is said that the Sun and the Moon would shine on the Earth in tandem. The warm Sun loved the Moon and so gave parts of its light to the cold Moon which proudly shone the reflected light granted to her by her lover. The warm touch of Sunlight kept the humans on Earth alive, their crops thriving and their skin warm and brown. The Sun kept the humans alive, and She shone down on them with a smile, proud to be theirs.... And so the Moon was banished into the Night, where she shone her milky light onto an empty sleeping world below. The lovers were separated, but to keep them apart was impossible. And thus the deities were born. —————— The Deities, the physical manifestation of the Sun and the Moon, forever cursed to reincarnate and find each other anew each time. On Lucian's 16th birthday, he is awakened to his power as the Moon. Surrounded by an odd group of allies, he sets out on a search to find his Sun and save her from whatever fate may await them both at the hands of their many enemies. —————— DISCLAIMER: Not my art in the cover.

Reena

"Where am I? Is this hell?"

Reena felt cold and damp, like a motel bathroom.

"What is that smell?"

There was an awful smell of raw flesh and sweat. It was dark, and Reena couldn't discern anything around her. She looked up. The dark shifted and she felt her eyes open. She looked around. It had gotten lighter. She raised her hands. She could feel her body moving but felt oddly sluggish.

"I didn't... die? What the hell is going on, where am I?"

She looked around again, now fully adjusted to the lighting. She saw a small window out of the corner of her eyes and a double door in front of her. There was sunlight in the room, so she assumed there were more windows behind her.

"A hospital maybe?"

Suddenly she felt herself speak.

"Shit, the brat woke up again. Doesn't she realize I'm the only thing keeping her a

alive?"

She felt herself smack her head with her palm several times.

"Go back to sleep. You'll see your beloved Jana soon enough."

"Jana?" She thought. "Oh! Oz... Where is he?"

"I said you'll see her soon. Go back to sleep now."

She knew she didn't say that. Why was she speaking without realizing?

"Don't you get it brat?" She felt herself speak again. "I'm controlling your body. Without me you'd be dead. Now sleep!"

She closed her eyes and sank back into the darkness.

Being controlled? Dead?

"So I really did kill myself. At least I did that right. Now who is this bitch claiming to be controlling my body? Let me die in peace. And where's Oz?"

Reena slowly fell back unconscious. She wouldn't wake for a while.
