Sia's Stars:Prologue

Prologue
Captin' Rin

Khaos walked down the long, black marble halls of her older sister’s palace, towards Sia’s chambers. She chuckled to herself and hummed a little tune. Today was the day that Sia’s kingdom would fall, and she wouldn’t suspect it coming.

The dark, heavy-looking wood door that led to her bedroom was closed, and the torches beside it were out. Khaos opened the door slowly, and was surprised to discover it was quite light. She walked in and shut the door quietly behind her. Sia stood on her balcony, over looking the capitol city of Klayolz. She had to admit she was slightly envious of Sia. Sia was beautiful, with darker features. And the kingdom she made soon after emerging, which took only the most vital technologies from societies that weren’t even created yet. Oh, but Sia would pay. She would pay in more ways than she could even imagine to.

“Sister,” Khaos said as she walked up behind her. “Would you care for a glass of wine? We must speak.” Khaos summoned a glass of white wine, poisoned. Sia didn’t move for a moment. Then, she turned and nodded, taking the glass gently from Khaos’ hands.

“Yes, I would love a glass. What was it now you needed to speak of?” Sia asked in her tender, benevolent voice. The first sip she took revealed so much to her eyes. The poison within, and with her eternal sleep, the fall of her kingdom, and millions of years later, humanity all together. She sighed deeply as Khaos began speaking.

“We’re all concerned for you.” Khaos began explaining. “Why have you no children yet? Do you not want to contribute to this all?” Sia chuckled a little deeply.

“Sister, whether I bear children or not is my decision. And frankly, I do not care what you or any of your spawn thinks I should do.” Sia set down the glass. “Leave my sight, sister. I do not wish to speak to you anymore.” Khaos gave an angry snarl before turning and quickly leaving Sia’s bedroom.

Sia sighed. It was time. She did something she thought it would never come to doing. She decided to put her own hidden daughters to sleep, aswell as the dark one. She made sure that they would awake at just the right time, and in the right place. Then, she herself, fell into a sleep from which she would never awake.

Her kingdom fell to fire in the following days, all of the citizens lives lost. The Protogenoi had won, for now.
