They called us 'divine being' but for some we are called the constellation;
Of god and goddess of sky. The 12 inhabitants of star.
Made of nebulas and stardust,
To the humans who looks up the stars and wish.

PrologueSA MADILIM na silid, kapansin-pansin ang kumikinang na gintong mapa sa makalat na sahig. Makikita sa mapa ang magarbong emperyong nakatayo, ultimong pangalan ng imperyo ay nagsusumigaw ng karangyaan: Golden Empire. From afar sunset painted the sky, reflecting the color of blood yet the land beneath is already lost in the war.
The silence of the prayer room was shattered as the sacred book fell to the ground with a loud thud. It was quickly followed by the chalice, golden plate, and bread, all tumbling down from their place on the altar. The table shook violently like there was an earthquake but it was a different kind of earthquake. Because beneath the table, two figures could be seen ─ a man and a woman, both panting and sweating.
The moon emerged behind the clouds, illuminating the room and casting a shadow of the man pounding hard on the woman. Her platinum hair glowed in the moonlight. The man kissed the tip of her hair and looked up to catch his breath, only to see the divine statue before them.
"Crura tua, sancte, pande." Open your legs, little saint. The man whispered near her earlobe.
"No, it's wrong! The heavens will punish us!" the saint protested but her body told otherwise.
"Et eamus in infernum simul." Then let's go to hell together. The man's baritone voice answered. And with that, he pressed himself against her and the poor table snapped. The once, quiet prayer room was now filled with screams of pleasure and sin.
Nalaglag ako sa kama at hinabol ang hininga.
Another dream.
Napatulala ako sa gintong mapa at napahawak sa ulo ko na sumasakit na naman. I let the pain subside before looking out the window and watching the sun cast it's light before darkness settle in. It's the same sunset that welcomes me when I wake up from my dream.
When I woke up, the gods and people with white robes were on my doorstep. At the back of my mind, I could already hear, 'FBI, freeze!' No shit, Sherlock. I was like a kid who got caught watching something I shouldn't watch.
Their fingers are all pointed at me, accusing me of a sin I did not know and remember. Their hostile gaze burns my skin. After they whipped me and locked me, they never looked at me the same.
