“She was the moon goddess. She sat on a throne made of pure silver and wore a crescent moon as a crown. Some say she wore a coat made from the skin of stags she’d hunted. Once she bathed naked beneath a full moon, and she realized she was being watched by a man named Actaeon. In revenge, she threw a handful of water at him. When the water touched him, he turned into a red deer. Then she whistled for his hounds and they came. Within moments, they had shredded their poor master to bits. But that’s what happens when you betray a woman of magic.”
