Myth

Margaism

In the beginning, darkness lorded the universe. And then there's a dot of light that shined so bright, it lit up the galaxy, behind it came a planet called Earth. The planet called Earth is dull, lifeless, and pure land.

One day, there was a pearl that fell from the sky. It was a gigantic pearl that when it fell, it's impact created a huge hole. The pearl cracked like that of an egg shell, and there was a heavenly woman that came out from it. Her name was Margarette. Her long black shiny hair that fell below her waist danced with the wind as she walked out of the pearl. Her body was covered with tiny shells that looked like a dress. She scanned the place and realized how plain the surrounding was.

She moved her wobbly feet and started to wander around. There was nothing but a bare land. As she walked around, she was startled as she heard a loud bang. There was another gigantic pearl that fell from the sky! She ran towards it and there was a man. The man was named Ylli. He was topless, only covered by shells in his lower part. Margarette knew that from there, they were made for each other.

The two roam around the planet and day by day, they get bored because of it's undecorated state. Margarette didn't knew that she was powerful. One time, she woke up very frustrated because there was just nothing. Her emotions were so powerful that when she said she wanted a forest, there came a forest! It was complete with tall trees, carpeted with green grass, and different kind of plants. She thought, there was something missing. They were lonely. They needed something to share this forest with. Then, when she thought of alive creatures, there came different kinds of animals! There were four legged, two legged, a flying animal, and a furry one.

The couple were very happy. They enjoyed the company of the things Margarette created. However, one day, the tree produced a large flower. Ylli scanned it, they were confused of how the tree made such kind of flower. As Ylli came near to the flower, it was tore apart, wide open, and came out a magnificent woman! The woman with a brown wavy hair run towards Ylli and hugged him so tight! Margarette witnessed this, and her emotions went berserk.

"Margarette, no, it isn't what you're thinking-"

Ylli was cut because Margarette, because of her madness, elevated into the sky. Her long hair flew artistically around her, her eyes lit, making it all white, she rose her hands and there came a huge ball energy.

"Your betrayal will never be accepted! Ylli, I will never forgive you!"

Her madness caused the surrounding to go dark.

"There will be darkness, for you shall sleep without light," and then there's night.

It suddenly rain, heavy rain that wetted the dry land. The rain came with a loud thunder, and a lightning that reflected the eyes of Margarette.

"There will be storms for you shall suffer because of your betrayal!"

Ylli tried to get out of the hold of the woman, but the woman named Cassiopeia didn't let him go. She hugged her with all her might, thinking that it was him who was her man. Because he was the first one she saw when she opened her eyes.

Margarette, seeing this, just got enraged. Her eyes became bright red, and there was a huge ball of fire in her hand. The ball became bigger and with all her might, threw it at the sky. She called it the sun.

"You will suffer from heat during the day, and you will suffer total darkness at night. You will suffer storm for you won't have a peaceful life!"

Cassiopeia cried because of all the happening. Ylli embraced her, because he too, was confused and scared. Suddenly, Cassiopeia's stomach grew big. Because of Ylli's embrace.

Margarette shouted so loud and cried so hard. Her tears became flood and there came an ocean that filled the hole that the pearl created, where she came from. She was very devastated that she couldn't take it anymore, she flew up to the sky. She was angry, sad, lost, and her heart was broken. But because of her kindness, she realized that she had been so cruel. She looked down and realized that the two couldn't survived. So, she made the moon to give light to the earth during the night. She made the trees bear fruits for there will be food for the two. She made creatures that will swim to the ocean, enough for them to have a decent meal. However, she cursed their child.

"All of your child will become stars, that will help the moon shine you from below. You will never be with them, as I will only blessed you a child, when it is your last breath."

Margarette lived peacefully on the moon. She created another planets and universe that would soon be the home of Ylli and Cassiopeia's child. Because she knew that one day, she will take it all back.

Margarette would look down and watch the two. At night, Ylli would only look up in the sky, and watch his beloved. He knew that she was there, looking down at them. He was regretful yet he could never do something. Ylli and Cassiopeia had offsprings that went to the sky and became stars. They were confused as why it was happening so they tried and tried to produce. Yet it was still the same, their child would become a dot of light and would come up to the sky. Up unto this day, their offsprings are stars that shine bright to our sky. And just like what Margarette said, they were blessed a child when it was their last day. The child was blessed with a partner that is loyal and faithful. And the couple lived and produced offsprings that would take care of the things that Margarette created.
