Prologue
This is a story of pain. Of heartache. Of grief. This is the story every Celestial Spirit knows, and remembers. Because it's the beginning of the new law.
{Centuries ago}
She was beautiful, and breathtakingly so. She had strings of male Spirits making moon eyes at her for as long as she remembered. The attention was flattering, but undeniably annoying too. She was accustomed to all the cat-calling and wooing. She was also used to seeing handsome men. No one had been able to get her heart. But why was he different?
He wasn't the most handsome man, nor was he exceedingly charming. Yet her heart was fluttery whenever she saw him. Why? She didn't know. She just knew that HE meant something different to her. He was someone special. So it broke her heart, when his life ended.
She went into spirals of depression. She couldn't comprehend it. Why did he have to die? Why was she not human? If she was, she could have gone with him. But fate was cruel to her, because she was immortal. It drove her mad, and she went berserk.
She went astray, going down the dark path. Countless humans were dead before action was taken. The Spirit King had no choice, but to erase her existence entirely. It was too late for her to come back. Her mind was too far gone by then.
After that, a new law was introduced: It is forbidden for humans and Celestial Spirits to fall in love. Violation of the law will lead to punishment for both parties.
{Present Day}
This was the story of Selene, a Celestial Spirit, and her love for Erasmus, a human.
This is the reason why I, Leo, will never tell her how much I care for her. She deserves better, and I won't ever forgive myself if I let her get hurt.
This is my resolution, yet why is it so hard to keep? Her smile, her voice, her laugh…Everything about her just sticks in my mind and refuses to leave. But I won't let myself show how much I love her. I am content being her guardian angel. I will not let myself put her in harm's way.
My beloved owner and my goddess: Lucy Heartfilia.
