He Who Waited, He Who Glowed
On the peak of Mt. Madjaas, the god of death, Sidapa, watches the sky night after night-his golden eyes never missing the soft glow of Libulan, the gentle god of the moon. In silence and stillness, Sidapa waits... not to take a soul, but to feel one. His love is not loud-it's patient, aching, and eternal. For years, he whispered wishes into the wind, hoping Libulan would hear them. But how can a god of death ever hold something as distant and delicate as the moon? Can a deity born from shadows be loved by one born of light? This is not just a story of gods. This is the story of longing. Of stars yearning for the moon. Of one who waited-and one who glowed. Will the moon ever look back?

Tala When the Star Wept
Tala When the Star Wept By Zach Aki In the vastness of night, where stars once whispered secrets and gods held dominion over fate, a love burns brighter than the cosmos itself - and darker than the void. Tala, the Filipino goddess of the stars, reigns over the celestial heavens with a radiant light. But when she falls for an unnamed mortal astrologer, a man consumed by his search for meaning in the skies, their forbidden love threatens the balance of the universe. Bound by desire and torn by tragedy, their passion ignites a chain of events that will shatter the heavens. For in the shadows, Apo Laki, god of fire, harbors a cruel fate - one that will reduce the astrologer to ash and plunge the world into eternal darkness. Told in a haunting, rhymed poetic voice from the astrologer's perspective, Tala is a dark mythological tale of love and loss, of stars that tremble and night that devours light. It is a journey through cosmic sorrow, sensual longing, and a heartbreak so profound it silences the skies forever. When the light fades and the heavens weep, what remains is a love that refuses to die - even in the endless void.Complete

Philippine Mythology
Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and superstitions held by Filipinos, mostly originating from beliefs held during the pre-Hispanic era. Some of these beliefs stem from pre-Christian religion that was specially influenced by the Hinduism and were regarded by the Spanish as "myth" and "superstition" in an effort to de-legitimize precolonial faith by replacing those native beliefs with colonial Catholic Christian myths and superstitions. Today, some of these precolonial beliefs are still held by Filipinos, especially in the provinces. Filipino myth is incorporated from various sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Christian traditions, such as the notion of Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul (kaluluwa). Filipino mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. A majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition. - This Book contains : - the creation myth - list of deities - list of creatures - the story of Lapu-Lapu - 2018 -Completed-Complete
