Iris was born in the early years of The Roman Empire , to Marus  Thaumantos and his wife Acca . Who died soon after given birth to the couples only child. As a female she was subject to female restrictions , but her father was an open minded man educated her in not just the “ womanly virtues"  of spinning, weaving, cooking but in reading and writing and simple math (use of an abacus), this included law, morality, and physical training -- the last, of course, with a decidedly military slant. Teachers were expected to use corporal punishment (caning and flogging) not only for misbehavior but also for poor academic performance but Marus did not believe in this form of education and asked her tutors not to abuse his daughter but to encorage her do better than her male peers who were being taught in the Public schools.

When she was of age , and all the basics had been absorbed she studied higher mathematics, philosophy, and rhetoric. When she turn ten she was sent to a a private Egyptian salon for one year.

At the age of 15 she was educated in all forms of knowledge that one could offer , her father was pleased but still wished his daughter to marry and bear heirs .

Iris knew she was the last of the  Thaumantos and a male was needed to inherit the family fortune. Marus need a heir to name in his will. Even though Iris was his heir , by Roman law he needed to name a male heir and prefered it to be of his blood than a distant cousin who would not provide for his daughter. All the education in the empire could not exclude roman law towards women......

‎"It all began with The Alpha an alien abstract formless intelligence over time she divided into two also becoming The Omega together they created all that is within The Milky Way. Their first born was Ravenlily Goddess of Balance they were soon joined by her male aspect who was created the same as The Omega, a split aspect of the first. Anakletos is their third child born and was banished for his love of Raven because it would be too dangerous for them to mate because they were a different strain of blood and all inter-species mingling was frowned upon because it was uncertain what their offspring would turn out to be and this introduces us to Rainn the daughter of Raven and Anakletos. She is more powerful then The Alpha and The Omega combined and has the potential of becoming ruling deity. The twins Azazel and Asmodeus followed Anakletos' birth all can create lower level angels and demons and all of them can be injured but the higher up the food chain the harder it is to harm them."

Raven is a complex character in that she was created to keep the balance of all things but being around humans for so long has made her want to have a life of her own. For eons she stood next to the throne doing the biddings of her mother The Alpha putting aside the desire to have children of her own until she meets Juda Iscariot the original vampire curse with immortality for the betrayal of Jesus. She bore him two children Christabella (Bella) and Samael (Sam). Their children didn’t age as humans did and childhoods lasted but a few months before they stabilized at the age of 21.

In the beginning she was a tyrannical being who executed justice swiftly and without much thought to the outcome in the lives that she had touched. It was through her love of Judas that she learned to identify with those she stood in judgment of but their love wasn’t to last. Juda or Jude as she called him was constantly away fighting one war after another hardly seeing his wife and daughter. He fought with their son Sam by this side and when he died in what Raven believed to be a wasted battle her love for her husband turned to rage. Bella married King Henry VIII and was living a life of her own with her husband their union produced two children Ryanne and Evan. Splitting time, space and dimensions to be with Henry caused a great deal of stress in their marriage and Bella went to her mother telling her that she needed a break from her life to save her marriage to Henry with her mothers blessing they retreated to the Plaides vector to live out the rest of their lives this coincided with the historical death of King Henry though he died in name only. 

But Bella could not go without leaving an aspect of her behind to rule in her stead so she split creating Rainn. Throughout the ages Raven met up with Catherine they became close friends some may say closer then sisters but it was in the 21st century that Raven made her true feelings known to her male aspect Larik while she slumbered. Larik was just as beautiful as Raven but he was more like their father The Omega. He was a dark charmer who took what he wanted when he wanted without care of those involved as long as he was seen too. He knew that Raven loved Catherine had known even before she could admit it to herself. Since they were technically the same being he saw nothing wrong with using Catherine for his on purposes and agendas. The sex was a series of violent menageries and depravities; he knew that although Catherine was a stunning beauty she had zero self regard due to the trauma she experienced back in Rome. The horror of seeing her beloved father executed before a crowd of screaming and riled people wanting to see their weekly blood sport. Catherine was made to watch as her father was mauled by lions to the brink of death then hanged his body swung for weeks until it had been picked clean by carrion. Catherine was also vital in his “fuck you” to Raven for keeping him locked inside of her for so long. When he emerged he could have taken the visage of anyone but he chose to take that of her ex-husband Jude and in a moment of weakness, grieving the loss of her children, Sam to senseless death and Bella to Henry. She was sobbing while looking at photos of her family that was no more when Larik showed up. 

They made love and within hours she gave birth to Rainn, now there is some questions as to whether he was actually her father or if it were Anakletos who had recently returned from his exile due to the fact that he crossed the line by falling deeply in love with Raven this was forbidden because they didn’t share the same mother (The Alpha) and it was unknown what or who the child would be. Would it be an abomination or the ultimate power capable of taking control? Raven was more like their mother to be certain but Larik was his father’s son down to the bone. In psychological terms he would be considered a psychopath and sociopath but seeing as he’s an alien mistaken for a deity these descriptions of him really didn’t matter. Then something happen that made his cold hearts warm (this species has two hearts) he met a woman named Anna. She purity incarnate, a crème fresh beauty with blazing red hair, penetrating blue eyes and a pouty mouth that begged to be kissed or so he thought. Anna held her own secrets under her serene veneer she was a medusa but more about that later in the story.  
Once Larik had caused so much aggravation and loss of trust that Raven once had for Catherine he began pulling away from her. He had injected her with their DNA when he was inside her. His cock was huge and when erect barbs protruded from it with each pelvic thrust he ripped into her he was transferring his genetic strain to awaken the dormant cells that resided in her as a human then vampire directing what she would soon become. He knew that he would forever be a part of Catherine and had designs of using her to exact his will and he did so until Anna entered his life.  

There is no light without darkness and even though he wasn’t what you would call a nice person some part of him wished that he were Anna brought out the best in him making him re-think his stance in this impending conflict.
Raven gave birth to her son in the most violent of manners it destroyed her former shell and killed her in the process leaving behind a burned out husk. Soon after its birth her son skittered across the floor then separated creating his sister Thais. They crawled back over to her ashes and breathed life back into their mother. The timing of this birth couldn’t have happened at a worse time, she and Catherine had reconciled there was a war about to kick off at any moment and Larik was a major source of concern because she couldn’t kill him without destroying herself. The children aged 22 years within the span of an hour after their birth. She whisked them off to their home planet Xuebula for intensive training and schooling leaving Catherine behind once again.
Raven was highly revered among her people and those that knew of her existence though much about her wasn’t known. To most she was the epitome of elegance, kindness, reverence and valor. She kept a lot of things to herself even when married to Jude and especially with Catherine because ultimately she knew the outcome of events and circumstances before they even took place. This was one of the downsides of being who she was but there was always the chance that individual free will could alter things.

Xuebula 04/05/2012
 
In the beginning there was Chaos but where did it come from? It was vomited forth from the womb of the Void, a black mass that held within it all the materials needed to create various forms of life think of a black hole. Which traps everything that crosses its path even light cannot escape from it and becomes forever housed within. Chaos is the product expelled from the womb of the Void in a violent conflagration the birth of the universe and all of its many realms, planets, dimensions and species. This explosion created the universe as we know it but there is so much about it that remains unknown this story is an attempt at explaining things. Chaos gave birth to the first species known as The Alpha in a period of time this creature an unshaped form of intelligence, an a sexual in the being spawned a male version of it self The Omega. They are the ones responsible for giving life to humans and those called “Angels and Demons.” They are in fact a highly advanced alien species from the planet Xuebula, a billion clicks outside the Milky Way. This species would be viewed as immortal to humans but the simple fact is time is different on this planet. There are 72 hours in a day they don’t age like humans and the average life span can range from as young as 3 thousand years to a million. Xuebula was an amazing place with each corner of it vastly different with exact functions.

Allison Porter was a plain and unassuming young woman.  She had shoulder length mousy brown hair that she’d pulled back into a ponytail and it looked like it hadn’t been washed in a while.  Stringy strands of hair that loosely resembled bangs fell upon the tops of her eyebrows.  The silver framed spectacles that she wore made her look like a prudish schoolmarm; they frame her freckled face perfectly.  Though Allison was well into her late twenties, she didn’t appear to be more than seventeen.  The fact that she was rail thin with a boyish shape and the voice of a little girl did little to alter the illusion.

As a child, Allison was shy and introverted.  She didn’t have many friends then and she doesn’t have that many now.  She did however have a best friend in her doting grandmother Athena, with whom she spent weekends and summer vacation.  The two of them would wile away the days baking cookies and pies from scratch.  When one baking tin went into the oven another was placed in the windowsill to cool.  They’d drink lemonade and take in the sights from the front porch swing.  The scrumptious aroma wafting through the window and hearing the birds chirping and the tales her grandmother told made for a nice day.  Athena would take great pride in passing on the oral lore from her homeland; Greece.

Of all the stories and lore Athena passed on to Allison, the legend of Ondine is her favorite.  Ondine was the goddess of love and beauty, she was the most enchanting woman in the universe.  She was the daughter of Zeus and Dione, goddess of the oak tree.  Ondine was so breathtakingly beautiful that no god or mortal man would be able to resist her.  They literally worshiped the ground beneath her feet. 

Just being in her presence was enough enthrall them.  Beside her great beauty Ondine would become a virgin whenever she bathed in the Aegean Sea.  That powerful attribute made her even more taken with her.  What man could resist a virgin, especially one with her amount of experience in the art of lovemaking?

My name is Alice Logan, 27 year old head of trauma nurses at Doctors Hospital. I lead a rather ordinary life, hanging out with friends, going to the gym and reading that is my passion. I suppose you could say that I've a charmed life but I wouldn't as it's the same thing just a different day. A car crash caused by a suicidal woman driving her sports car over 85 miles per hour when she hit the rear end of a mini van killing 4 while one clung to life by an ever fading tether. The woman who caused all of this simply walked away with minor injuries.

Okay fine I get the whole wanting to die issue but what made her want to take others with her?

We went to work on the sole survivor of the crash as soon as they wheeled her in on the ambulance gurney. The person had multiple compound fractures possibly a concussion due to head wound. Her head and neck were stabilize to the back board with a cervical collar and medical tape held her head to the board to keep them from harming herself and to keep her immobilized in case of injury to her neck and spine while we work on her. A medic was straddled over the victim performing chest compressions. We moved fast to stabilize our patient...her heart stops.Looking down into her cut up and bloodied face made me think of the direction of my life; she was around my age.


I couldn't get home fast enough I need to wash away the stains of the day. Not the blood I'm constantly doing that at work but to wash away the fatigue and try to purge from my mind that poor woman (Jane Doe) clinging to life because of the actions of another. I stripped and drew a hot bath with essential oils and burned some candles to set the mood for complete relaxation. I climbed into the bath and it felt like heaven. I leaned back onto the bath pillows and closed my eyes as the water lapped against ever part of my aching body. I reached for the bath loofer and poured some bath gel onto it and slowly wash each part starting with my arms. The suds felt like what you image clouds must. I heard a strange noise coming from my bedroom and seeing as I live alone with no pets I was slightly frighten. It sounded like someone walking around looking through my things. I got out of the tub soaking wet covered with suds and bubbles covering my naked body. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it round me then unscrewed the towel rack and held it like I was about to swing at an on coming pitch. My steps slow and deliberate as I walked to my room. A tall man dressed in a tuxedo with thick dark hair that curled up at the ends was standing in my room looking out of the window at the skyline.

"I don't know how you got in here or what you want but I think it best that you leave." The man said nothing as my heart raced crashing against my insides with a crushing force. "I said you need to leave!" 

The next thing I knew I feel his lips pressed against mine. They were soft as a cherubs flutter pulling me deeply. I couldn't see his whole face just his indigo blue eyes intensely fixed on mine. I felt a sharpness like my flesh was being cut and my heart slowing to a thud. He placed his hand behind my head and raised it up to meet his wrist as he used his pinky finger nail to open a vain. As his blood filled my mouth I felt and saw his life..his love..his desire, his sorrow and I felt this power coming from him I was more alive then I've ever been. The beeping got louder and harder to ignore.

I here what sounds like an alarm clock going beep beep beep. The next thing I know I'm shocking the crash victim with my defibrillator paddles. "Clear!" I hadn't been at home I was still at the hospital working to save this woman's life but I had the taste of blood in my mouth and one of the other nurses noticed two puncture holes on the side of my neck that were weeping blood. The doctor instructed another nurse to take my place while I tended to my wounds.

But how could this be? How could I be bleeding from the neck from a dream I didn't really have? Am I awake now or asleep?

Ninib that flown without haste back to their home planet that acted as a weystation medical base where the critically wounded of their kinsmen were taken in times of battle but this was a different kind of battle. This battle was to save the essence of her kinsmen without her they would unravel and become undo. Bella had been summoned back to this realm by Ravenlily the only woman she knew to be her mother until Catherine's devastating news that she was her birth mother and not Ravenlily. This was not uncommon among her kindred but it always has its affects but never to this magnitude. Bella and Rainn are one being and when one and Bella was unhinged by her violent birth and wanted to spread her pain and anguish like an infectious disease. She wanted no one to escape the fire of her wrath the Rainn fell ill and that is when with her last breathe Bella cried out for Ninib to save her from herself. It's not been an easy process removing the vengence that threaten to destroy them all for now they would all have to wait and hope that Bella and Rainn can be healed and returned to them.

From this point on we will begin speaking in our native tongue and all of the languages to try to bridge this gap in communications that is one of the pivotal reasons for this war. We're sick of all of the bastardize hybrids coming into this realm and spoiling what was once paradise here on earth. We shall try to reach the humans on their level if that fails then they shall be dealt with. We have come to safe the descendants of our species with are humans and tell them the correct reasons for them being here but first we've had to and still have to clean our own house and that means dealing with false deities and those who wish to take the throne away from our Mother and Grandmother The Alpha. The council convened and decided to banish Inanna she is a hybrid, unstable and in time she will be consumed by the power that she seeks..WE HAVE SPOKEN AND THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO AVOID ALL OUT WAR..THE CHOICE IS YOURS MY KINDRED..

Bella's Return 03/13/2012
 
Bella had been summoned by her mother Ravenlily to return to this realm to be Rainns counter balance. She is an identical aspect of Rainn and is here to stand by her sisters side. They are closer then most of our kindred and only truly respond to one another. Bella's re-emergence into this realm was particularly brutal. Rainn had kissed this lips of one of her kinsmen which one she's keeping that to herself until or should the need arise to call him out. Rainn was drinking a blend of her special cinnamon roast coffee when a sharp pain tore through her mouth. Her lips were on fire and it wasn't from the hot liquid. She dropped the porcelain mug to the floor crashing it as it struck the surface of the marble flooring at Rainn's earthly home. Rainn's tongue began to bleed profusely as her tongue grew to an enormous size. You could see the outline of what appeared to be a human female form coming to shape from the flesh of her tongue. She fell onto all fours and began gagging and fighting to breathe. While shaking violently Bella began to separate herself from the flesh of Rainn's tongue the blood was black and spurted every where like a water sprinkler. Rainn let out a howling, screeching cry once the ordeal had been over. She watched as Bella laid on the floor in front of her covered in blood and viscous within no time she had become full grown shedding her former human shell and assuming this latest incarnation. She looks like a younger version of her grandmother with the golden spun silk hair, piercing bluish gray eyes and a killer smile...Bella was back but her re-emergence was a closely guarded secret that only Rainn and Raven knew of...
