This is the sad story of Deocletian Grevelae, a toy-maker, who loved kids, but lost his own when his pregnant wife Aetheria drowned in a pond close to their home.

The decades passed, and so did the Roman era. A new religion arrived at the country, and its missionaries where the family of Barelkson. The Barelksons may seemed like the usual fifth century family, but they had a secret.

When the moon was full, the family turned to werewolves. This meant two things. They were only allowed to live at the mountainous and isolated area of Areza, and that they could claim a spot at the eternals' table, the immortal council that was created by Anaya herself, who now was 2000 years old already.

She also was done with falling in love. Yet that didn't stop the sparkles that shined whenever the Barelkson's chief, Panrid Barelkson, entered the room. Age is just a number, as they say...

So Anaya Stevano let her guards down again, and let herself fall in love with him. Time seemed meaningful again, as she thought she'd found her other half. But as they also say, there is always a younger, prettier to take one's place, and that's what happened to them.

When young lady Danea arrived to Arezza, all the promises were broken, together with Anaya's heart. Betrayed and alone, she returned to her Sacred Forest of Castanea.
