Description

Some stories say that the centaurs were born of Zeus and the cloud Nephele, but in truth, Zeus created them himself, with his magic, by transforming orphans, beggars, and derelicts into his new wild, untamed race. He then abandoned the cave and the magic that birthed them, returning to Mount Olympus.

But soon after, a girl named Callista had been betrothed to another against her will — an arranged marriage — and she fled into the mountains. There she stumbled upon a hiding place, a deep cavern hidden high in a craggy hillside. And Callista found that the Fates had arranged for her a new future: For to her surprise, the lost magic of the centaurs could still be found, and upon her touch, it triggered.

In time, she would grow accustomed to her new form, and the lines of Clotho would lead her to a young centaur man named Chiron. She would fall in love with him, and long before Lachesis would measure her thread, much less Atropos cut it, Callista would bear the wisest of centaurs four sons and five daughters. And even though the histories the humans wrote would omit her ever afterward, she would one day be revered among her kind as the Great Mother, the first and most beauteous.

I always liked Fragments , but I've often regretted that I never colored it. So... I finally fixed that. Here's Callista again, the last time she'll ever be human — only in full-color, and with her hands actually drawn, and a number of details fixed.

Admittedly, it's still just a transformation sequence with some backstory, but I still like that this could be the reason you don't see female centaurs much in the original Greek stories: Zeus made the males just because he was Zeus and he liked to screw with the world, but the few females that came into existence afterward were accidents or volunteers.
