ASPERA (NoMin)

The Beginning

Once upon a time, there was a universe called Aspera. Aspera was the most magnificent and beautiful universe compared to others. It almost reached the definition of paradise. A universe that radiated purple and gold colors with lots of light. Thus, another name for Aspera was the Shining Star. Aspera was ruled by the Stars. The Stars were two holy guardians which were granted super power by Mother Moon, a divine light having no form that mythically said created Aspera and the Stars. The power of creation and love, and the power of destruction and justice. These powers were the source energy of Aspera. Every tree and plant that grew big from a fertile soil was influenced by the power of creation. Every laughter that was heard along the street and pavement was a result of the power of love. Every tear that wet the cheeks in a funeral was caused by the power of destruction. Every organized and ordered Asperian was an outcome of the power of justice. Asperian, the name of the people. The powers gave balance to the universe.

No one had ever seen the Stars, but people were absolutely sure and believed that they were exist. History said that once a chaos had happened in Aspera. All the lights were shut down. For two years, Aspera lost its lights. The Asperian prayed to the Stars for help. Some of them gave up because nothing happened, but some of them kept praying. Until one day, when not only lights had been taken from Aspera, but slowly the souls of Asperian were started to be taken due to losing hopes, or they said as 'losing light in the heart', the Stars appeared. No one could see the look of them, they were like little Aspera with one purple light and one golden light. Their presence instantly healed Aspera. The purple light shone bright with thunder and lightning showering the sky. Asperian were screaming and crying. Then, all the darkness for two years were vanished. At the same time, the golden light shone widely until every Asperian could feel it. A melody of a harp was heard, Hyme of Aspera they called. Finally, the lights were brought back. The lights within Asperians came back. They shouted thank you, but no reply. The Stars almost disappeared, but an old man prevented them by asking how could they be certain if anything like this would never happen in the future. 'People of Aspera, what you just experienced was anything that you shall never face anymore. The Stars will always guard Aspera as it is our responsibility and love. However, we cannot always stay near. We have our place. We understand your fear.' Said the golden light. 'People of Aspera. On the fifth full moon from today, the sky will be divided. There will be a man and a woman that will be the king and queen of Aspera. They will keep you safe.' Continued the purple light. Then they flew high and slowly disappeared. The Asperian waited for the time to come. They built a castle to welcome the king and queen. They invested their blood, sweat, and tears to the castle as they hoped that the two could give them happiness and prosperity to Aspera. On the break of the dawn, the sky was divided. An earthquake occurred. Children were crying while holding to their parents. Rain poured down, but no one tried to shelter. They went out and fixed their gaze up to the sky. People were drenched in rain. Then, two lights came down. Warmth was felt within the body of Asperians. They genuinely smiled. Several mothers shed tears of gratefulness. Children pointed their fingers up to the lights. The lights were too bright, hence people should cover their eyes. The barely could see anything. When the lights started to dim, they opened their eyes slowly. That was when two gorgeous creatures smiled at them. Fair glowing skin with galaxy-colored hair wearing white noble clothes. People walked closer to them. They bowed down. The two creatures only smiled. Then, all of the mythical appearance started to fade away, leaving a normal look. Even in a normal look, the two creatures were still mythical with heavenly look. 'My King, My Queen' said the same old man. They nodded. Not a single sound was produced by them.

They were brought to the castle. The Queen was awed with the beautiful architecture. Arriving to the heart of the castle, the royal hall, the King finally spoke. 'People of Aspera. Thank you so much for waiting. We had seen how all of you worked together hand in hand for us. Now, let us repay you. We promise to give you lights the Aspera deserves. For Aspera!' ; 'For Aspera!' followed the crowds.

The King and Queen along with Asperians built Aspera as magnificent as they can. Aspera was a harmony. There was no poor nor rich. Everyone was equal. Children went to school. Crops grew well. Once, the Queen strolled on one of the people's farm. She looked so happy to see the farmers smiling and singing while planting seeds. She bent a little and touched the soil, then the whole farm was shining brightly for three seconds. Then, all the seeds turned into ripe crops ready to harvest. Even in the furthest area of Aspera, no poverty and starvation.

Generation after generation had passed, but the King and Queen remained the same. The Asperians believed that the two were immortal. Many believed that they were the real form of the Stars. The King was the power of destruction and justice. He was looked upon by many young men due to his courage. Also his gentle side. Not to mention his face. His face could become the source of light of Aspera. The Queen was the power of creation and love. She was admired by all of the Asperians. Her smile was shooting. Her eyes spoke love. Her beauty could diminish any sadness. Due to their perception of immortality, they never questioned the King and Queen for not having any heir.

People did not know that the King and Queen were actually mortal but had different time. More than twenty generations had passed. Surprisingly to the people, The Queen delivered a son. Aspera was full of joy. Cheers were heard throughout the streets. People welcomed the prince. He was born the same like how his parents came down firstly. After one month, his normal look showed and a gorgeous baby was present. Hair like a dark ebony wood, two captivating eyes like a doll, cute pointed nose, red tint lips, and fair complexion. He looked a lot like the Queen. He was what love was. All of Asperians fell in love to their prince. Jaemin, the King and Queen agreed to name their beloved son.
