I am Sinagtala. I am the goddess of loyalty, faithfulness and hope. I have this power to read someone's mind. I am the daughter of King Hades and Queen Hera in the land of Lunacia. I am their only daughter so they take good care of me.
I am here today in Lake of Tears .. Until now I still cannot forget the story of this lake.
Lake of Tears.
There is a fairy guarding a lake. The fairy is beautiful and kind. The fairy had this skin as white as milk,long browned-hair,blue eyes and a perfect body.
Everyone who bathes to the lake especially the children, she'll protects them from danger. The lake is also beautiful and attractive so all the children often bathe there and a lot of people in the community of Lunacia. The lake is quite deep but because of the goddess, no one dies or harmed among the people of Lunacia.
One day, a man got lost and was stranded in the Lunacia area in the middle of the forest where the lake is located. Because he couldn't find any way to get home, the young man thought of taking a bath in the lake.
The fairy woke up from a deep sleep because she heard someone bathing in the lake so she immediately guarded it so as not to be harmed. For the first time, the fairy was surprised because she did not see a child bathing but a young man.
The fairy was restless because the young man undressed in front of her. Because of her nervousness, she immediately hid in the rocks and the young man heard the crackle coming from the edge of the forest.
"Who's there ?!" The young man shouted. "Show yourself!" He shouted again.
"If you don't show up, I'll scold the kid here!" The man shouted. Out of fear, the fairy immediately came out of her hiding place.
"Don't!" The fairy shouted but the man just laughed.
"Do you think I could kill a person? especially a young boy or girl? I'm not that bad, fairy." The fairy got shocked again because of the young man said.
" My name is Noli. Are you really a fairy?" She did not expect the young man to introduce himself to her.
" My name is Lucia. I'm the fairy of this lake."- she guided her hand to the young man.
As the days, months and years passed, Lucia and Noli finally became friends. They get even more closer. Every day, Noli goes to the Kingdom of Lunacia to bathe in the lake even though his residence can be found in the kingdom of Sartoria.
The heart most guarded by Lucia, not to fall into a mortal, failed. He did not think he would fall for a mortal man.
"Noli..." Lucia called Noli's name. He looked at Lucia. Noli is now lying on Lucia's thighs. They were in the middle of the lawn by the lake. Watching the stars.
"Why, my love? Is there a problem?" Noli asked her while smiling. "I want you to know that you are the only one I love the most ..." Lucia said looking straight into noli's eyes. "I know that, Lucia. Because in the first place, you have disobeyed the command of the goddess of gods and goddesses...Not to fell in love with a human like me. Because our world is so different and we had different culture we believe." Noli was suddenly sad when he mentioned the god and goddess and about their unique world.
Noli knows the consequences of their love ... which is a sin in the eyes of others. But can unexpected love be prevented?
Surely if the goddess of the gods and goddesses found out about Lucia and Noli's love affair, she would be angry.
"Look! There's a shooting star!" Lucia shouted to ease the sadness wrapping around them.
" Noli, My love, Make a wish and that shooting star make your wish come true!" Lucia convinced Noli to make a wish.
"I wish our story would not end immediately and not here... I hope we are still together until the end ... till death do us part."
Slowly their faces came closer and only an inch between their lips. Lucia welcomed the young man's lips.
"Lucia!" The couple stiffened when they heard a loud noise and a voice calling to Lucia. Noli was just stunned looking at the stars. They knew this was the end of their story.
"Our dear goddess!" Lucia said and bow to the goddess. Noli bowed too but the goddess refuses him. "You don't have to do that. You're a human. you're not one of us. Only those gods and goddesses will bow their heads to the goddess of all gods and goddesses."
" I just respect you, dear goddess."
" I'm not happy you did this, Lucia. Come with me to the kingdom and leave this man or one of you will die!"
" I would rather die than leave him. What else would I want to live if I lost the only man I loved?"
Lucia and Noli fought for their love.
Some of the gods are there to get Lucia back to the kingdom for Noli not to get harmed or couldn't die. But Noli is determined not to give Lucia to them out of love.
Noli and the gods start fighting. Noli was trained to use ax and sword.
Noli was about to win the game...
Until the god of bow and arrow came with his poisonous arrow.
He pulled it and throw it directly to Noli.
"Noli! No!" Noli was hit by a wild poisonous arrow.
Sinagtala immediately ran to Noli and looked around it finding when was the arrow came from. Her eyes glaze over the god of bow and arrow.
Noli was slowly running out of breath until he said, "Lucia, remember that you are the only one I love so much ... always be careful no matter where you go. Goodbye, my love ... until we'll meet again. " And Noli's body finally rested.
Lucia burst into tears. After two weeks of suffering from death of his lover,Lucia soon drowned in the lake. While the love of a fairy was crying, the fairy drowned and the lake was finally called, the LAKE OF TEARS.
That was the story of this lake... I'm afraid what happened to Lucia might happen to me too...
