Long before recorded history there lived a bold king. One who refused to yield before the wills of the Greek gods who commanded him. Like so many before and after, he made the mistake of falling in love with the most beautiful woman in his kingdom. A woman whose very smile was his life's blood. Little did he know she bore the darkest of all curses. Because of the actions of her forefathers against the Greek god Apollo more than two thousand years before her birth, her people had been damned to die brutally on their twenty-seventh birthday. It was a secret she kept until the day when she, like all the others of her Apollite kind, began to decay and die. In only twenty-four hours she went from a beautiful young woman to a crone, then nothing but scattered dust.

Lycaon was devastated by the loss of his love, but worse than that was the haunting knowledge that soon his own sons would join their mother and die every bit as horrifically. Like her, they would die for something none of them had a part in. Unable to bear the injustice, he confronted the gods and told them to screw themselves. He would not stand by and watch his children die. Ever.

That very night, he began using the darkest of magick to splice the genes of his wife's people with those of wolves, the chosen race to be the saviors of his children. When his experiments were complete, he'd created an entirely new species. No longer human, no longer Apollite nor animal, they were something else entirely. The experiments turned his two sons into four separate beings. Two creatures who held the hearts of animals and who lived as an animal by the light of day and two who held the hearts of humans. By day, human would be their base form.

This was their gift. And so was born their new curse...

The gods were not pleased, and demanded the king slaughter all the creatures he'd made. How dare he, a mere mortal, be contentious enough to thwart their will. But the king refused. "I will not allow my children to suffer for your vanity! You can all die for what I care."

So while his children were spared their Apollite curse, the gods gave them a new one. There would never be peace between the animal Katagaria and the human Arcadians that the king had created.
