Prologue.
The sacred woman
was dewy with pregnancy, with soft feminine features that oddly but
pleasantly contrasted her usually more geometric face. The woman had
the tan, glowing skin of an earth goddess; and her thick, dark hair
seemed an organic frame around her face. The woman’s name was
Aurora. The first woman of the city in over a hundred years and now
she was to have their child.
Chapter 1.
Hyperion was
pissed. He ran through the crowded city naked and red-faced from
embarrassment, the other men when they saw him nearly laughed so hard
they nearly choked. But he just ran, passed the square market place
where old men would sell meats and clothing and animals. Passed the
rotting church now used as a brothel; filled with women that never
left their harem. Hyperion ran all the way to the city walls and
around again until he ran through the gates. He felt the soft wheat
against his legs as they moved swiftly, with a masculine grace across
the cities surrounding fields until he reached the edge of the forest
where he abruptly stopped and fell back into the crop. He relaxed his
muscles and breathed hard and strong, letting the air be filled and
released from his lungs. He lay naked in the vast golden fields and
gently closed his eyes to escape the pounding embarrassment the came
upon him as he realized what he had done.
