| − | Selene is an entity from a distant solar system. Once the heiress to a mighty kingdom, she was adored by all as a loving, sweet, and gentile soul. She was professed to be destined for greatness. The kingdom's own powerful Void Gazers determined that she was the reconfigured essence of a powerful celestial Titan, if you believed in that sort of thing. It was all her family could do but wait till she matured enough, both physically and mentally, to receive her birthright. But all that ended the eve of the great uprising, the very night before her birthday ceremony. The Cult of Corprus had turned her father's most trusted friend, a powerful sorcerer named Tsokuda, against them. She watched helplessly as he gutted her father with his bare hands. Tsokuda gave her grieving, and hysterical mother over to his wretched companions to do with her as they saw fit. Selene's ears still ringing with her mother's screams, she mustered up the courage to take her father's knife from his belt, and lunge at Tsokuda while he was staring down her mother. Her attack, while brave, wasn't fatal. Tsokuda growled as he reached up to his left cheek, he was cut deep. With a violent backhand he knocks Selene across the floor. He realized he had to kill her now. She was beginning to become what the cult feared. He had to send her life force into the Maw Of | + | Selene is an entity from a distant solar system.

It was an agony unlike anything she has ever experienced in her short life. A scathing, searing torment of pain consumed her as her body twisted and snapped from the assault. With her disfigured, lifeless husk in a heap on the floor, Tsokuda held aloft her life force, turned black from the vicious onslaught. As he was a mere moment away from casting her into the Maw Of Corprus, a lone battle fatigued palace guard had found a sliver of fortitude, enough to creep in and fire his weapon at Tsokuda before succumbing to the extent of his injuries. The shot hit Tsokuda square in the arm holding Selene, disrupting his concentration at the final moment, sending her life off randomly into the depths of space, ultimately landing on Earth. | It was an agony unlike anything she has ever experienced in her short life.
