Chains and Loyalty

"Thousands of years ago, a sea goddess named Lumira was created in the deepest part of the ocean. She is also considered the most beloved creation of Kravos, the god who gives color and life to the world of the living. While growing up, Kravos noticed that his beloved daughter is alive but doesn't possess a heart. She can be compared to a doll without any emotions.

And so, Kravos decided to give his beloved daughter a heart that can make her feel different emotions. When Lumira feels all the positive emotions she learned from her little sanctuary, Kravos gave her the responsibility to protect the land filled with the things he loves. Seeing that the land he created is now in good hands, Kravos decided to fall into long slumber and restore the power he used to create Lumira's heart.

Without Kravos, Goddess Lumira is now one the most powerful goddess who has equal love for everyone. She is fair and never discriminates. Her heart knows what to give to the land that Kravos has given to her. The goddess knows when to deliver her punishments for those who made sins and offers her reward to those who made the right thing.

Hundreds of years had passed and the land she is protecting has evolved. The humans had started building their civilizations. They also discovered different ways how to make their life more productive and useful. Soon, people regroup themselves into four and live in different directions in their land.

And the goddess witnessed all of it without leaving her sanctuary under the ocean. Like a good parent to her children, Lumira feels proud for the humans who created a systematic way how to live in the world created by Kravos for them. Every now and then, Lumira offers her help to those people when needed and to those who deserve it.

Everything is going smoothly in their land. That was until Lumira fell in love with a human named Kleto. Lumira met Kleto when she saved him from drowning while fishing in the ocean. It was love at first sight for Lumira. The heart that is supposed to equally love everyone is now beating fast for one human.

Lumira is already familiar with love. It is the one she offers to everyone while protecting the world. It is the emotion that helps her connect with her surroundings. But Lumira knows that the love she feels for Kleto is way more different from the emotion she gives to the world.

After the sea goddess saved that human, he visited the goddess regularly until their feelings for each other has deepened. Soon, Kleto becomes Lumira's lover. He is just a simple human who only cares for his family and friends, but the goddess saw how caring he was towards his people. Kleto also makes her feel a lot of things that Lumira had never experienced before.

Lumira's love for Kleto is immeasurable. After being lovers for years, the goddess bestowed that human enough power for him to build his own kingdom where he can give more protection to his people. Not knowing if she is showing enough of her love to her lover, Lumira offered all the treasures she can give to Kleto knowing the value of it in their world.

Before leaving, Kleto promised the goddess that he will return as a king and he will ask her to marry him. And Lumira believes in that promise. With her lover's promise in her heart, Lumira patiently waits for Kleto to return. But days turned into weeks, months, and years yet Kleto has not yet shown himself to her again.

Worried about her lover's safety, Lumira decided to go to Kleto and help him in case he was in deep trouble. The goddess stepped out of her sanctuary and go to the place where she can find her lover.

But she did not know that decision will break her pure heart into pieces.

Kleto succeeded and he is now a king respected by thousands of people. He is loved by everyone and their numerous praises about him have spread in their kingdom. Kleto becomes a perfect man in everyone's eyes who possesses everything a person can ask for in his life.

All of the people are happy and proud of him, except for Lumira.

When Kleto becomes a king, he married another woman and made her a queen. Only a year after their marriage, they were given a healthy son who will become the next king of the kingdom that Kleto build using the power and treasures he acquired from Lumira. The goddess witnessed the love in Kleto's eyes as he stares at his wife and child. And for the first time, Lumira feels those nasty emotions in her heart.

Fury. Anger. Madness.

These are all enough reasons for Lumira to destroy the kingdom that Kleto built using all the things she bestowed on him. But the goddess was conflicted. Despite the boiling hatred she feels in her heart, the goddess cannot destroy the land that her father has created. In the end, Lumira decided to toy with his future generations just like how Kleto played with her feelings.

'No one will know the exact time, but your descendants will give birth to a child. I will give that child an ability similar to mine that can destroy and recreate the kingdom you painstakingly built for years. Not only that, but the person they're going to love the most will betray them. Once it happens, that child will pay for the sins that you did to me and they will curse the blood flowing in their veins until they die!'

After leaving those words, Lumira take back the power she gave to Kleto and returned to her sanctuary in the deepest part of the ocean. Kleto tried to apologize to the goddess but it was too late. Although the glory of their kingdom continues for centuries, they had already lost their goddess's will and protection. Lumira promised herself not to trust another human once again and planned not to leave her sanctuary until Kravos decided to wake up from his deep slumber."
