The legend of Karistus

Long ago, when this world was young, ancient beings roamed freely, living off the land and their skills, survival a natural way of life, as deeply ingrained as the desire to breathe.

Within this world, two young lovers gave birth to a special little girl, whom they called Villanelle; and she was a symbol of the best parts of every living thing wrapped up in one tiny form.

As Villanelle grew older her beauty became legendary, and her parents, worried for her safety, pleaded with the Gods, begging them to send her a protector.
