Born from Aphrodite and Hades after her uncle disguised himself as a mortal to corrupt his niece with his tainted, vile energy. Unknown to Aphrodite, her daughter was realized as being of incest by her father Zeus whom was outraged by her actions. The girl was cast out of the kingdom of Olympus and sent to earth to die as no gods to touch her or face his wrath.
The gift of immortality was hers but because of the nature of her conception a curse was bestowed upon her. The gift of her mother was to have mortals fall in love with her, not to mention unfathomable beauty. Her fathers gift was an evil that grew inside her very heart, deception, and eyes that lure you in. The curse that inflicted her was that she would have endless life but would she would forever be a child, never to know the love of her parents indiscretion.
A basket approaching a waterfall is where she was placed, but a fisherman spotted her before it was too late. He cast his line hooking her basket and reeled it in to shore, as soon as he placed his eyes on her he was smitten. Lifting the child and basket he returned home to his wife whom was having troubles of their own conceiving and she too glanced on Amour's face becoming entranced holding her closely. She quickly grew and was nourished to the look of a healthy enfant.
The time had come when children are to attend school, but her parents were not wanting to part her side deciding to rather home school. Living a sheltered life Amour was becoming an introvert as well as her parents, whom occasionally forgot to leave to do essential tasks such as pay bills. One evening a town guard and tax collector approached the home. Knock, Knock "Madam and Sir this is the law, you have not paid your bills and we've come to collect" says the guard.
The fisherman and his wife scared as they spent the money on gifts for their daughter, clung to Amour saying nothing nor answering the door. the sound of a guards shoulder smashing the doorway off it's hinges was heard next, and the home filled with guards and the tax collector all now staring at the cowering parents. "This is the law, you must pay or exchange something of worth. as each glanced upon Amour their thoughts were nowhere elseThat girl! yes, she would be a fitting exchange! " says the Tax man. The guards walking over grabbed each parent and held them back as the tax man took the girl by the hand escorting her out of the house. The guards then gutted each fisherman and his wife leaving them to rot.
Amour smiled as the tax man took her in carriage to the palace where he was a royal banker for the king himself. The girl was kept in the mans private suite and spoiled with lavish jewelry, treats, and toys. Her time away from the man was spent watching out the window where other children ran and played. She longed to meet others around her age, and crawled out the window making a rope from the curtains. She ran towards the other children whom welcomed her like kids do, offering to play games and have fun. Hours rolled by and it was getting late, the children left towards their homes even with Amour begging them to stay.
Amour walked back towards the palace and a guard blocked the entrance, she looked into his eyes and a sensation surged inside. She asked the guard to escort her to the Tax mans suite, and he obeyed apologizing for blocking her path. The tax man appeared angry, and took the child inside striking her hand and scolding her for worrying him. This was her first punishment and she did not like it at all, she ran towards the entrance opening the doorway where the guard was now standing. "Bad man, hurt me! hurt him now please!" she says as tears run her eyes. The guard walks inside closing the door and locking it, as the tax man followed behind Amour angry again yet now seeing the guard by her side.
The guard quickly drawing his sword as the man ran towards sliding it deep into the chest, as Amour watched smiling. Afterwards the guard returned to his post forgetting his actions but not the affection for the girl. Amour knew she couldn't stay put much longer and began to wander in the palace crying, until she entered the courtyard being noticed by the King and Queen. "Who's daughter is this? says the king, as he lifts her holding her in his arms..."hush now, your safe" he continues. The guard whom known her speaks up, "I believe the Tax collectors ward sire" he says as a maid enters screaming of the murder of that very such man. The decision to keep her as their own was decided amongst the King and Queen, as their own daughter was recently lost due to a pneumonia.
Princess Amour was showered in gold, and tutored by the best. Her own playground was build outside made of gold, never to tarnish just like her. Watching from Olympus Aphrodite was pleased to see her daughter was well taken care of, dismissing her actions to get to this accomplishment as she knew of the darkness already. Hades, watched relishing in the grace she portrayed in her evil actions using mankind as the pawns to a means.
The kingdom and guards began to notice Amour was not aging and at first thought of it was late blooming as her ways seemed to be older even though her body was not. Eventually a priest was called to assess the girl, this resulted in the murder of the King, Queen, and Priest by the guards whom all loved their princess and obeyed her every wish. Usurping the throne she was now Queen Amour, and ordered the palace to be redecorated in her own design.
The kingdom became an endless playground larger then any could be imagined. She ordered all children live in the palace with her, taking them from their parents but giving them anything their hearts desired. Once the age thirteen was reached they were released again to the custody of their parents never again allowed to enter the palace.
