Soul Ties

Chapter 14: The Beginning of Beginnings

Once, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, there was a God named Sosten, the Guardian of the Stars. He dwelled alone in the endless sky, carefully placing each star in its perfect place, crafting constellations that would guide and inspire humanity. Every night, Sosten roamed the heavens, ensuring that each star gleamed as brightly as it could, illuminating the dark canvas of the universe. But despite the beauty he created, Sosten's heart was heavy with loneliness, and as the world slept, his tears fell silently among the stars.

One night, overwhelmed by sorrow, Sosten wept until dawn, his tears shimmering in the early morning light. As the sun began to rise, something extraordinary happened—Sosten caught sight of the most radiant being he had ever seen. It was Kriana, the Goddess of Light, her presence so brilliant that it chased away the shadows in his heart.

Entranced, Sosten hid behind a drifting cloud, his eyes never leaving Kriana as she moved gracefully through the sky, spreading her light across the galaxy so that every planet could bask in her warmth. To him, she was the embodiment of all that was beautiful and pure, and he knew in that moment that he wanted to share her light with his stars, to make them shine even brighter.

As the day came to a close, Kriana, weary from her efforts, sought a place to rest. She found solace on a constellation shaped like a butterfly, unaware that it was Sosten's creation, his most cherished formation in the night sky. Watching her peacefully slumbering on his beloved butterfly, Sosten felt a deep, undeniable connection to her. He knew, with absolute certainty, that he must marry her.

When Kriana awoke the next morning, she was surrounded by a breathtaking sight—tiny stars in the shapes of butterflies, all fluttering around her. She gazed in wonder, not knowing how such beauty had come to be.

It was then that Sosten emerged from behind his cloud. The moment their eyes met, Kriana felt her heart swell with an inexplicable love. Sosten, with a voice filled with reverence, confessed how he had fallen for her as she slept on his constellation, and how he knew they were destined to be together. Kriana, her heart glowing with the same certainty, smiled and agreed.

As a token of her love, Kriana reached out and gently cupped one of the tiny butterfly stars in her hands. She closed her eyes, pouring all the love she felt for Sosten into the delicate creature. When she opened her hands, a golden butterfly emerged, alive with the love they shared.

The butterfly fluttered between them, weaving through the air like a living thread of their connection, before finally landing in Sosten's outstretched palm. As they gazed at the golden butterfly, they noticed something miraculous—a golden thread began to form, stretching from their hearts to their fingertips, wrapping around the very fingers they used to create their magic. It was a symbol of their bond, of the love that had brought them together and would forever tie their souls.

Though the butterfly was a precious gift, Sosten knew it was too special to keep for themselves. He placed the golden butterfly on the planet Uthoria, whispering words of love that would echo through the ages. Kriana did the same, her whispers carrying the depth of her affection. Together, they kissed the butterfly, and it grew into a new Goddess, radiant with the love of her creators.

They named her Thysus, the Goddess of Beginnings, and entrusted her with a sacred mission: to share the golden thread of love with all who sought it, so that they too could experience the profound connection Sosten and Kriana had found.

For centuries, Thysus fulfilled her purpose, bestowing the golden thread upon those who came to her. And when two souls met, the thread would bind them together, a testament to the love that had created the stars and the light that guided them.Once, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, there was a God named Sosten, the Guardian of the Stars.
