"A long time ago, back when the world was whole and a single continent ruled by the Divine judgment of the Gods.
A beautiful golden comet circled around the Earth. It's beauty more eye catching and irresistible than any God or goddess.
One day a King made of clay and magic called out to the comet. "Oh beautiful one who shines brighter than the Stars, may you come down?" But the comet refused to answer the king and went back to circling around the world.
Years later when the King was slightly older, he called out to the Stars and once more got the comets attention. "Old golden one who the lines even the gods with its beauty, may you please come down?" But the golden comet ignored him once more and proceeded to continue circling around the world.
Many years later when the King was old and bitter, he called to the heavens one more time. "You who circles around day and night with it's alluring beauty, please come down?"
Finally, the comet answered the Kings request and flew down from the heavens in front of the king.
But the king, consumed by greed and the beauty of the Divine comet, attacked the comet and stopped it from escaping into the heavens, "finally after so long, I have the comet! Now it's beauty is for I and I alone!" Fashioning chains out of the Stars and sky, the king forced to comet to stay by his side until the day when he would perish.
But the king, seeing how the comet never lost its eternal beauty, did not want to leave the comet... So he gave his blacksmiths an impossible task... "Fashion me a headdress that can withstand the wrath of the Gods, contain the Stars themselves and match the beauty of my golden comet..."
For many days and many nights, the blacksmiths worked tirelessly, endlessly crafting many different headdresses of many different varieties and shapes, but no headdress could fit all three categories.
One day the leader of the blacksmiths, enraged with the absurd difficulty of the task, back to the Gods for a metal that he could bend and shape, but they could not break... That night, a pair of spirits granted him 10 bars of a beautiful bronze steel.
The blacksmith went back to their forge and crafted a headdress of ornate design and not even the wrath of Gods themselves, disasters capable of destroying kingdoms, could destroy it...
But, through the blacksmiths dismay, the headdress could not contain the Stars... Seeing that the eldest blacksmith had already bargained with the Gods, the second eldest blacksmith went to the underworld and beckoned the demons for magic powerful enough to bind the Stars...
That night the second blacksmith dreamed of symbols of ornate and mysterious design.
The demons of his dreams then told the blacksmith to inscribe the symbols into whatever he wished to contain the Stars.
That morning, the blacksmith grabbed a beautiful chisel made of the same metal as the headdress and chiseled the symbols into the headdress.
But the final task still remained, no matter who they asked, the Gods, the demons or even the deceased, none of the blacksmiths could make the headdress as beautiful as the comet...
The youngest and the blacksmiths then had an idea, they went through the king and told him that the headdress would be finished, but it was so beautiful that no one good gaze at it, the blacksmith then told the king that the only way he could have the headdress, was if he tore out his eyes with his bare hands.
The king, believing the blacksmith ripped out his eyes with his bare hands and ordered for the headdress to be brought to him.
On the last day, the indestructible headdress was brought to the king, the king then called forth the comet locked In chains and forced the golden comet to touch the headdress.
