Radiant Forbidden

Chapter 1

It was war , tangled ,confused and unending war. From the Lykae to Valkyries,ghouls,vampyres, demons; a freaking monster fest, all wanting to be dominant. The fact and problem being that they all had to listen and obey one.This is a jungle, one day you wake up powerful, great and the next day to come, your entire species is near to extinction. It mattered not if you are great, with just one order, your own turn on you.

To keep the order, we have the "Radiants" ; beauties which have the blood of gods in their veins, the devine yet the fallen from grace. The clans grew in numbers and weakened in blood and this was causing their death, their extinction.

A seed which originated from the most powerful beings in all the species, a halfbreed whose species is the dominant yet is in solitude, the one who is to be feared. Luka, the heir to the throne, a bitter sweet being gifted with impeccable features; a thick mass of midnight hair and breath-taking emerald eyes yet cursed with an anger as furious as the blazing fires in hell. Sliques, believed to be the creation of all the great warrior of each species and therefore each having visions of a past life, twice born or old souls in other myths were they called.

November 2009

Venese, the daughter of the gods, the youngest of many, a Radiant was trained only for combat. However, for now she was just an eighteen year old Radiant, eager for a battle which she was preparing for.

"Venese get your butt down here, it's time for breakfast!!" , shouted Apollo, her eldest brother and their Leader.

"Fine"

Crawling out of bed, she went downstairs to see her annoying yet beautiful sibling, smiling at her.

"Well delighted to see the queen has awoken from her slumber", he joked with a snicker.

She stood in the door frame of the kitchen, leaning for support.

"So what's new today?' with a added yawn

"Nothing of great importance, Devon sent you a proposal for marriage, you recieved a post card and Maria and Joven are coming for Christmas.", turing his head hoping she didn't hear the last bit.

"What! Why? How could you and you know how i feel about them?"

"She's your sister , your blood, you cannot harbour hatred for her."

"Shall I have you watch me doing so?", she released a huff, "When do they arrive with their fornication?"

"They do not arrive here, we are spending Christmas in Rome."

She turned, and went up the hard wooden stairs gazing at the ceiling; sculptures of Roman gods adorned it, they were countless and then her eyes landed on Apollo, god of the sun. She had remembered when she was younger and she saw her brother in the same light. He always looked the same, almost frozen in his current state. They always said that we were gods but she had never believed, the supernatural world was strange but this was beyond comparison. It brought a pleasant laugh when he had joked about burning the world if she had not worshipped him. Her laugh was short lived though, for her birthday was soon to come, December 24, it was Maria's birthday as well. Walking slower, she started to mumble in a silent breath.

"How could she hurt me like this?"

Tears threatened to fall. It wasn't until her sister,Misa,came into her blurred vision that she had noticed her tears. She tried to conceal them. Misa sighed looking down at her at the top of the stairs. Misa had a dark and depressing aura around her and it was contagous to persons around her, and judging from her wardrobe, she was the lover of all things black. She was however a beauty with her long chestnut coloured hair and captivating grey unnatural eyes. Venese stood there for a while just staring, wondering if she had caught a glimpse of her tears. Misa stood there with a raised brow, twisting her lips to from words while her piercing eyes searched behind her shadow, looking for her secrets. Time had seemed to stop and then a chuckle came from her part.

"You know puppet, you can't stay mad at her forever. You'll eventually forget about this nonsence when you find another boy toy, well that is if you find one. Either way if you don't let go it will eat you alive. ", she said with a smirk.

"Thanks for the concern.",she said with a glare.

She continued up the stairs, this time with a bit more speed and as she was about to pass Misa, she grabbed her by arm. She had made her look into her eyes.
