Mythraea Chronicles

Hearts Watching

In the celestial realms above Mythraea, an enigmatic figure silently observes the land. This figure is Hearts, the oldest and most powerful of all the angels. Created first, Hearts was imbued with unmatched strength, speed, intelligence, and an unwavering loyalty and love for God. While Frank was known as the Eyes of God, ever-watchful and perceptive, Hearts earned his name by embodying the very essence of divine love and compassion. He was the Heart of God, caring deeply for all of creation and driven by an innate desire to nurture and protect.

When God decided to create other creatures, it was Hearts whom he confided in first. God explained his plan to populate Mythraea with diverse beings, asking Hearts to watch over them and protect them from the other angels who might not understand their purpose. God saw these creatures as precious, essential for the evolution and greatness of Mythraea and its guardians.

Hearts took this mission to heart, committing himself to watch over and protect the new creations. He did so in secret, as God had instructed. The other angels, unaware of Hearts' special mission, looked down on him for his interest in what they considered lowly creatures. They mocked him, unable to comprehend why such a powerful angel would bother with beings they deemed insignificant. However, they dared not confront him directly due to his superior strength.

In their frustration, the angels resorted to subtle ways to meddle, fueling hatred among the creatures to incite them to kill each other. Hearts, bound by his promise to God, worked tirelessly to thwart these schemes. He always found ways to stop the angels from intervening directly, preserving the creatures' lives.

Hearts' efforts to protect the creatures had to remain covert. He intervened in ways that went unnoticed, ensuring the survival of various species without revealing his hand. He subtly shifted the outcomes of wars, preventing total annihilation and maintaining balance in the ecosystem. Each war ended with survivors who could rebuild, keeping the cycle of life intact despite the constant conflict.

His constant vigilance allowed him to witness the evolution of these creatures over generations. He saw their capacity for both greatness and destruction. At times, he felt disappointment and despair at their actions, while at others, he was astonished by their resilience and capacity for growth. His fascination with the creatures grew with each passing generation, his curiosity about God's purpose for them deepening.

When the princesses of the four kingdoms were born, something shifted within Hearts. For the first time, the heirs to all the thrones were female, and they were born at the exact same moment. This event was unprecedented and filled Hearts with a sense of profound wonder and responsibility. He knew that their simultaneous birth was no accident—it was part of God's intricate plan for Mythraea.

On the day of their birth, a rare peace settled over the land. Joy and celebration filled each kingdom, with festivals and merriment replacing the usual strife. It was a day without death, a singular moment of unity and hope. Hearts, watching from above, felt an unfamiliar emotion stirring within him. His fascination with the creatures turned into a deep-seated commitment to protect these princesses, sensing that they held the key to Mythraea's future.

Hearts vowed to guard the queens at all costs, understanding that their lives were crucial to the unfolding destiny of the land. This promise marked a new chapter in his eternal watch. He chose to intervene only when absolutely necessary, particularly if the angels were the ones plotting against them. Otherwise, he watched from afar, allowing the queens to grow into their own strength and potential, guiding their realms towards peace through their own wisdom and leadership.

As the princesses grew, so did Hearts' dedication. He saw in them the possibility of change, the hope for a future where the endless wars might cease and a new era of cooperation and harmony could begin. Their existence gave him a renewed sense of purpose, reinforcing his belief in God's plan and the importance of his own role in it.

The day of their birth, marked by peace and celebration, was a beacon of hope, a sign that perhaps, just perhaps, the cycle of war and destruction could be broken. And with Hearts watching over them, the future of Mythraea held a glimmer of promise, a possibility for a new dawn.
