Xanthe, her older sister, tends the warriors in the Blood Room, where the wounded are carried in from battle. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is bored with the endless dreary war and decides to play with the two girls. When the young soldier Alastor is brought into the Blood Room, Aphrodite begins her game.
