The Rise Of The Four Graces

"This is a story passed through the tongues of the old generations to this time. 


The folklore about the four gods that was first told to me and then to you.


In the ancient world, there said to have existed only four stars, soaring high in the skies of earth. 


Each of the stars symbolises a god, the gods that were said to first share the world and shape it themselves. 


The stars burn in different colours and can be found in four directions. The god of north, the blue star. The counterpart of north, the blaring red star of south. The east god, whose star were glowing just like gold. And lastly, the purple star, the god of the west.


The god of the north, the blue star, is the god of water one that are said to have created the seas, the clearest rivers, the fiercest falls, and the loving rain. He maintains peace, heals the wounded, and were known to have eyes coloured like the sea.


The counterpart of north, stood the blaring red star of the south. This was the passionate god of fire, it was said the he was worshipped to give people strength and confidence. The source of a person's consciousness and knowledge. People were to worship this god to help them find balance in life. The meaning to keep living on. The protection, and the burning core of humanity.


The gold coloured star, resting at the East where the sun rises, were said to be the prince of the forest, the earth god. He gives life to flowers, endows life to dying animals, and blesses the crops of droughts. He, whom rules the lands are known frequently as the glorious god of prosperity, he who smiles at his people.


He who shines the purple light in the skies, the god of west, the air. He serves as guide to the people and enriches quality of the other elements. He strengthens the fire, and he transforms the water to rain, most of all, his warm comforting breeze. That if to be taken away, every living thing would simply perish and die. 


Now I'll tell you how the four destined men, before gods, rose from their fallen tales, ascended high to the heavens as the four legendary celestial deities. Here and now, their journey to be gods will be unfolded."
