Prologue

A long long time ago, there were two giant buds of a flower that came from the same plant. The buds grew. However, its petals had not bloomed. Yet it started to wiggle, for inside each flower was a fair skinned girl with silver hair and blue eyes. She was a creation made by the goddess as she molded the girl to her ideal image. Skin, smooth as marble. The eyes, blue as sapphire, the slender arm and legs captivates even the flying birds in the forest. The long silver gleam of her hair was akin to stars that sparkled in the sky.

The girl, known as The Aelaranthae was made to be a goddess ideal. The goddess wanted her to understand each other. So, unlike humans, who could only speak through words that could be twisted by lies and deceit, she linked their minds through telepathy. Feelings, images, sounds can be transmitted. The goddess saw this as beautiful things and thus proceeded.

The goddess frowned at human’s endless greed. Taking lessons from them, the goddess made her creation devoid of all necessities. She made the girl feed on mana in the air and sunlight in the sky. Now there won’t be any need for strife for they need none. A perfect being was created.

However, a problem occurred. If Aelaranthae have no needs, they would be no different than lifeless dolls. Still and unmoving. So, the goddess had an idea. They shall make them taste emotions. ‘What a lovely being she was,’ the goddess thought. She will thrive to make the world a happier place for other’s emotion shall stimulate her creations.

Unlike humans that pursued their own greed, the goddess creation will strive to make the world a happier place for other happiness was their own. She will make The Aelaranthae be able to taste the joy and emotion of others, unlike the selfish human beings which She created before. They will not feel greed, for they have no needs. They will strive for the betterment of others, for others’ happiness is their own.

The goddess saw this as a beautiful thing and thus she proceeded. To encourage her creation into helping others, she will make the girl rich in nature. You can’t give something if you have nothing. And thus, the goddess made the girl perfect in every sense of the word. Her blood could cure any sickness and she could wield mana as easy as breathing. The forest and animals would listen to her.

The goddess made the girl charming. Charming, kind, rich and capable. Such was the creation of the goddess. She hoped The Aelaranthae would be loved by all. With these talents the goddess could only rejoice as she imagined the beauty and joy the girls will bring to the world. Everyone would kneel to her creation in gratitude as her creation extended her hands to those in need.

Before finishing her creation, she added one last detail. Human greed knows no bounds. If she let her creation go as is, she would no doubt be subject of slavery and be milked for all she was worth. And thus, she made her creation powerful. Blades will not blemish her skin and Mana will be at her beck and call. None shall have the chance to stand against The Aelaranthae. She saw this as a good thing for all creation shall bow before her.

A compassionate leader, a powerful leader, beautiful and wise. That’s what the goddess wanted her creation to be. And thus, with all details converged, The goddess began her creation. The goddess sighed in relief, for her work was almost done. The better the creation, the harder it was to make. The goddess moaned as she had to give her creation a very painful curse.

A weakness, so to speak. All species need to procreate to survive and her creation was no different. However, due to all the abilities she had implemented to her creation, Aelaranthae would suffer a long time during their gestation. Her creation’s powers will be lost during such time. That’s why she made two Aelaranthae instead of one. Ae Nae and Ae Zir. She hoped one will protect the other during such hardships.

And thus, two flowers from the same plant started to bloom. The creation was finally ready to be born unto the world. The chirping of birds accompanied the melody of goddess’ song as she welcomed her newest creation unto this world.

The chronicle of the Holy Aelaranthae Empire began.
