The Goddess's Death

In the sands of Arun, there was a Clan of People like Felines the

Nekojin, they had ears, a tail, and beast-like eyes. Were strong

physically and had the ability to see in the night. Their sister clan

is the moon clan, each was respective tones of their clans name

the sun clan people had light skin and the moon clan people had skin

the color of night dark and beautiful. Arun has oasis villages thru

out there rocky and sandy terrain. They had many wars between both

southern and northern clans. One battle, in particular, cause the clan's

numbers to dwindle till the Goddess of the Nekojin Serena

demanded that they stop. Serena was a beautiful black haired Goddess

with red beastly eyes, her skin the color of caramel. Sadly she was

betrayed by her people and they sentenced her to death after

poisoning sacred ground.

The sun and moon clan both sought to combine their people into one country and to do

that they were using the chance that they had and killed Serena in a

Ritual of love to flourish their numbers. On a hot summers day at

high noon Serena was collecting flowers for the ritual she was to

perform in the sacred oasis Hiyoku. She was supposed to be the only

one allowed to enter this sacred ground but since they were unhappy

about the fight and wanted the goddess’s power to themselves many

men entered this sacred oasis, they hid in bushes and inside of the

trees, one man even poisoned the water with his blood. they sat and

waited for her to come to send a prayer to the other gods and goddesses

blessing to help her people grow.

Serena walked into Hiyoku and holding a flower for each one of the men inside, “Come

 out, Come out” her voice was soft and gentle as she spoke “I can

see the evil off your aura” she had tears in her eyes “Tell me

what I have done to anger my people so much” just then both clan

chieftains came out. “This war and separation of out people was

your fault after you separated the two clans when both chieftains

loved you” Serena was shocked and shook her head “No that isn't

what happened” in an instant many arrow’s pierced her skin,

blood dripping from her mouth. Serena began coughing and holding her

chest breaking off the bits of arrows out of her skin “If you kill

me I just will be reborn” her brow furrowed with anger as she

stepped closer to the sun clan chieftain “But you already know the

truth don't you.” her hand trembling on his shoulder, he leaned

into her ear “I have read all the stories of your rebirths thru-out

time, This is for my Grandfather” he stabbed his knife thru her

stomach “Lyude nothing but destruction will fall on your family

since your father betrayed the gods first” her body fell to the

floor and cheers rang out and the chieftains shook hands. “What did

the goddess say to you?” Lyude laughed a little “She just said

that she hopes when she gets reborn she falls in love with the future

prince” they laughed together and celebrated over her death.

“Garbari” he wrapped his hands around his shoulder “Tonight we

drink! And in the future, we shall have our children marry to combine

the nations!”

A few years later and Lyude was celebrating his win over his victory and raking in a

ton of gold, he had many wives and many miscarriages after Serena's

death, she had cursed his fertility after her death waiting to be

reborn at the right time. Lyude took wives, some from every beast

clan and even some human women. He wanted the whole world to be his

family and control the very fiber of the flow of time. He wanted to

be the king on the throne of the world. There was one wife Lyude

loved the most Henna she was a moon Nekojin, her hair was blue and

white, her eyes sea blue color, she was smaller among most women

but her heart was kind and she never once betrayed him.

Running into her chambers one morning “My love My love” she smiled “Lyude I am

pregnant!” she held her stomach “Lyude I have been blessed! We

should celebrate” she looked at him with his golden hair and his

emerald eyes and for her, she thought it was love, a love everlasting

like the flow of time.” Lyude what do you hope it is?” he laughed

“A girl like you” he chuckled she smiled warmly and looked at him

“Why do you say that” he petted her “Don't worry my dear “ he

left the house and left a note for her “Love, visiting Garbari to

tell him the news”

A few days later Lyude was sitting with Garbari in his home “Lyude

are you ever going to keep your promise” they stared at each other

it was a long moment to speak “I will my wife is pregnant hopefully

this time it is a girl” Gabari handed him a glass “Good I have

just had my first son a few years ago, so my firstborn son will

marry your first daughter“ this wife came in and she was holding

the young prince “good evening sir’s Uncle I look forward to

meeting my future wife” he bowed and Lyude examined him over “He

looks like a handsome man” he was also a Nekojin he had white hair

and eyes void of color “I am sure my first daughter will give him

many sons.” they celebrated and he went home.
