The Chiaroscuro: Prologue

Lies.

That's what my whole life had been. Lies. From my family to my friends, everyone had lied. About my mother, my sister, and me.

I stormed through the hall until I entered a dark room. There were no windows, just a large, open ceiling showing the night sky. It was the place where we could contact our parents. Each room for each Protogenoi Deity. And I had just entered Nyx's room.

Suddenly a soft voice said, "You are not my child. Leave unless you wish for death."

Did I forget to tell you that entering a room besides your godly parent's was strictly forbidden, and could result in death? Woops.

"No."

Suddenly a wave of darkness swept over me. Nyx herself appeared in the center of the room, and she stared at me with cold eyes. "I am truely sorry, Alex, but I have to kill you. It's Dark Circle policy."

With a flick of her hand, a knife was sent directly towards my head. But something stopped it in midair. The knife clattered to the floor.

"Impossible," she murmered under her breath.

"The law is a fake. A god can only attack a demigod if the demigod attacks first. You can't attack me."

She glared at me, and said, "What do you want, demigod."

"I just want to talk."
