Sedna is the name of the goddess of the ocean.

Her legend is really old, but is said that she is a really powerful creature, unfortunately her heart is cold like the deepness of the ocean because the people that she loved most betrayed her in one of the cruelest ways.

In this story I put Alice in the place of Sedna but I changed a bit the story ( in reality I changed much more than a bit ) so please don't take this like a reference of the real Eskimo legend.

This take place after the betrayal of the village and her family.

Disclaimer: I don't own Joker/Clover/Heart No Kuni No Alice nor the legend of Sedna.

Sedna

Prologue

I was alone at the bottom of the ocean, all that I could see was my realm and my creatures.

I was cold.

I was always cold , but the thing that most hurt is that no one ever remembered me if not because they need me.

I hated the men whom did this to me, even after many centuries I could still feel the pain of my cut of fingers, but do you want to know what hurt the most? Do you?

My heart hurt.

Yes, go on, laugh of me, of my foolishness, of the trust that I gave to my village, to my family.

You know, I had a family long time ago, a stern but kind father who was always busy fishing, a sweet mother and my perfect sister Lorina.

I think that I hated Lorina the most, she was one of the reasons I went with that man, she was so perfect that I didn't stand a chance against her, who would have wanted the silent, shy and plain Alice instead of her.

Certainly not my fiancée , he left me for her even if she had already refused him many times of which I hadn't been aware, do you want to know that he was there when they threw me out of the kayak?

Yesss, he was there with all my family, I noted that in the end he wed my sister Lorina, watching me while I was going down.

Please, don't take me for a fool, I know they were sad, that they wanted to save me and that they aren't the bad guys in the story and all, but they let me go.

At the beginning of my long imprisonment I cried and cried, I was desperate, asking myself why why why why WHY they didn't oppose more strongly at what should have been my execution. Now you can say that I am just bitter about it.

After some time I discovered I could see all what was near the sea through the eyes of the creatures born from my cut off fingers.

I saw the people that I had called family- good so it wasn't passed too much time, I could still have my vengeance – my sister had two beautiful daughters with her stolen from me husband.

When I saw them a part of the old sadness overcame me again, I was again the girl with the crush on the most beautiful boy of the village.

I saw the two little girls that were playing at hide and seek near the house and it made me remember of the precious time I had spent with my perfect sister, when my life wasn't so complicated and I could speak with someone other than sea creatures, when I was happy.

My sister and her husband- I had to struggle with myself for call him so without sarcasm- were happy.

They were beautiful in their happiness.

Like my parents before I wed that man, they were the most lovely couple that I had ever seen, I wanted to be just like them when I would have been adult.

But the time for me never came.

Something resembling at regret filled my heart, regret for all the pain they had to suffer when they thought that I was dead- don't mistake, I wasn't regretting that they were suffering for me, just that they were suffering at all-but my greatest regret was that I couldn't have a life with them. I would have never been able of playing with their kids wondering how would have been if they were yours instead of Lorina's, how I would have felt at the wedding of their parents- I wouldn't have been happy, of course, but seeing their love I would have understood that they were perfect together and I would have gone on.

Maybe one day I would have found love and then I would have had kids too.

I was sorrowful.

I cried.

It didn't matter if in the ocean they wouldn't be tears but only drops without too much differences from the rest.

They dispersed into the deep.

In that moment I thought that such a sorrowful creature was fit for a place like this, I belonged to the Sea.

But now I wasn't anymore the hurt girl that could forgive completely everything, now I was a Goddess and my old name Alice was only a memory, now I was Sedna.

Who could make all die of famine if so she wanted.

And even if a dying part of me didn't want anything bad to happen to my family, I would give them hell for a year.

And this is the beginning of the sad tale of Alice, who was deep into the ocean and whose tears became the only creatures who could save her from herself.

It floated on the bottom Nuliajuk
where she became the Mother of the Sea
and Lady of All the Beasts of the sea and on the land.

She lives down there in the house under the waters
and knows everything we do,
and punishes us when we break the rules
hiding animals. So the hunt goes wrong
and the people are hungry. that's why
she is the most feared of the gods.

Nuliajuk gave the seals to humanity, it is true,
but she is no friend of the people
because they had no pity for her when she lived on earth,
throwing her into the ocean to drown.

Sedna is a very beautiful legend.

If you have time please review, I would appreciate it.
