The Seasons Story
It was just another normal night in Koguryo to the citizens, but inside the limits of Kugnae Palace the Prince has taken the uncommon act of watching the night sky for a while. What he didn't know was that simple watch would reveal a omen to change the knowledge of community forever.
Six wondrous stars crossed over the top of the Palace that night, six stars heading to Dae shore's direction. Such rare phenomenon took the attention of the Royal Highness, which distracted even saw another faint star trailed behind.
The Prince worried about what it could mean for his own kingdom decided to make this fact public. Speculations about it were being spread out, soon the mysterious happening was known through the many kingdoms around. Everyone wanted to know what those six or seven stars could mean.
Such happening even called the attention of a humble tracker of the weather, who had been watching the stars and studying the seasons very closely, his name was Kiyuu. It didn't take long for him to get the sympathy of the Royals; his knowledge about the stars was being appreciated in both Buya and Koguryo.
A lunar eclipse cast darkness over the kingdoms; those visions of strange constellations were to reveal the macabre.
In a small hill of Dae shore they appeared, the 6 falling stars, the family of Immortals showed in front of community. They were:
Ichiji, the father Time, his wife Ichimei, mother Nature and the 4 daughters : Rittou of Winter, Shuuki of Autumn, Rikka of Summer and the youngest, Shoshun of Spring.
The Immortal family decided to stay a bit visiting the lands, before returning to the Celestial Plains, the place of Immortals and Gods.
Kyiuu who has followed them to Dae shore in search for answers, has been caught by the mysteries of the heart and decided to learn more from Shoshun to find out more about how she keeps our world full of life. This approach of Kyiuu and Shoshun has grown into a love story, while the other sisters continued visiting the clan halls, subpath gatherings and many interesting places of our lands.
After a few moments of silence, it was the time of another strange woman to spot in the Dae Shore hill. She didn't talk much or gave much attention to people, she just wandered through the lands causing havoc and confusion. She was known as Rusuto the Lady of Chaos.
The Royals wanted to know what was going on and demanded to see Kyiuu right away. He directs to the Imperial Palace of Buya where he met with Princess Lasahn, Prince Mhul, their armies and Knights.
During the discussion about if there was in fact a seventh star or not, if the so called Rusuto was in fact the Lady of Chaos and what relation she had with the Immortal family, the ones gathered in the Buya Army Barracks had the surprise presence of Father Time, Ichiji.
Again Kiyuu insisted in the fact that 7 stars were seen crossing the stars, Prince Mhul wasn't sure about it anymore but Father Time kept evading the questions and assumptions talking of his unchanging truths. The situation was controlled until the people in the crowd, began to yell they have seen a Rusuto and that was causing chaos, Ichiji kept trying to deny it, until Primogen Vini of Oceana confronted the Truths of the Father Time for good, which made him flee in anger.
Kyiuu wasn't satisfied with the answers given by Ichiji, for that he promised he would find Rusuto. He left the palace in a rush, leaving Prince Mhul and Princess Lasahn without the answers they wanted.
The situation was soon of common knowledge of people and it didn't take much time to reach the ears of the 4 season sisters. The three oldest ones couldn't believe that they had another sister, but Shoshun was getting convinced of it. Rikka and Shuuki even started questioning themselves about the possibility of that rumor being trust, but the eldest, Rittou totally disconsidered it while showed little interest in participating in any type of event with in our lands.
Worried about the family crisis that was happening because of the mortals, Father Time eager to departure to Celestial plains and ordered the others to follow him. A huge Fighting broke out among the sisters, when ShoShun announced she wanted to stay with her Mortal-love, Kiyuu. Rittou because furious with that even went as far as threatening to tell her father the plans the sisters, and even their mother had, of staying.
Father Time said it was time to leave. The Sisters tried to convince him to stay a bit more, but the proposal was refused. ShoShun then asked her father if this had anything to do with Rusuto, their fifth sister. At this point Ichiji had lost his temper, in his anger he shouted to the whole kingdom that he did not have more than four daughters.
After the studies Kiyuu have done, he was convinced that Rusuto was a member of the Immortal family and he showed up again in the hill at Dae shore, where the six were and drilled Ichiji to tell his family the truth. Ichimei, the Mother Nature even stepped in asking her husband to reveal their family the truth about Rusuto.
Being pushed from all the others, Ichiji found no other way to explain it besides telling them the whole truth. Rusuto was indeed his fifth daughter and was the bringer of Chaos. He revealed he was afraid that she could tear the whole family apart if accepted in it.
Rittou left in disgust with her father's lies. Rikka and Shuuki followed her. Ichiji and Ichimei left the mortal's view in shame of what they've been hiding, but Shoshun and Kiyuu stayed and called for Rusuto show up.
Another day passes in the lands of Koguryo, during the night was when Shoshun and Kiyuu met with Rusuto in front of community. They called for Father Time and Mother Nature to come along as well. They showed at start they weren't feeling very comfortable with the presence of Rusuto there. Ichiji explained to his daughter Rusuto his reasons for denying her existence to the others.
Ichiji and Ichimei feared to have a season each year that would bring chaos and havoc, but they knew now that the existence Rusuto could not be denied anymore. It was after much conversation and love demonstration from Shoshun and the other sisters that was decided that not extra season should be added. Rusuto agreed to weave herself between her sisters, being really happy to have a chance to get together with her sisters.
It was the time when the now full Immortal family had to departure from our lands, but their visit here didn't have such a happy ending. The love story of Shoshun and Kiyuu had to come to an end, they both were from two different worlds, could not live together.
In his sadness and crying way Kiyuu said he knew that the love of a mortal for an immortal couldn't go right, he knew that now more than ever Shoshun needed to departure with her four sisters in order to keep the balance of this new era of their family. The Lady of Spring also understood it and together with her dysfunctional family headed off towards the stars.
From now on, every time Spring rolls by we will remember of the love of Kiyuu and Shoshun and hope they will be able to meet again.
