The first lands of ancient times, when live had only little centuries from its live, love was created to create ties, between each creature and their fated one.

When the sentiment was born with it came a new kind, of angelic guards to guide their lines, the cupids would lead love from above the stars.

With bows and arrows enchanted by love, whoever they hit would instantly be prone to find their soulmate.

Along this power also came rules, which restrained each cupid with the weight of chains.

They shared a light within their eyes, which gave them visions of the future as orders of who they must unite.

A cupid shall never betray this fated path, and always unify each being with who they were destined to live by.

A cupid must never dare to join the lives, of two living being of various kinds.

Nor shall it ever dare to blossom love, between two men or to women, for it would not create a new life for the garden evermore.

These were the rules that must have been followed at all costs, but there was a fateful day where it all changed for better or worse.

A young cupid boy of unknown name was among the forests of green, looking to complete his duty and make love fulfill.

He found the first half of the vision given, but as he tied his arrow his eyes witnessed what as forbidden.

The human male who was to join a woman had already fallen, for another man of a Naga among the green.

The mind of the boy was filled with fear but witnessing this new and true love made him spill a tear.

He could not believe something so beautiful was prohibited, and that was the moment when he understood love should not be limited.

And so, his decision had been made, with a new arrow of pink light he ensured the change.

The so called "scared" rules had been broken in single day, and the boy knew he would be found with no delay.

So he opened his angelic wings and fleeted away, for what it would come he would need to prepare.

The night came soon as they sky was covered on it's dark stain, filling the sight with clouds and rain.

Bellow the heavens the boy stood alone, Infront of the army of cupids staring at him with disgust from above.

The young cupid tried to plead for his comrades to listen, that love should be chained to the rules that limit them.

But there was not compliance in their response, for what he did to them in their eyes was a sacrilege.

There was no room to appeal or talk, for the boy refused to go back, with this submerged into a wretched war.

He stood with only his hands and bow, staring up and the wave of his once friends all on his own.

Despite the being at outnumbered by an enormous amount, protecting true love was enough for the boy to risk his life and stand his ground.

Between arrows and bolts plaguing the sky, he pierced through them and opened flight.

Each stab and slice stained the rain red, as the boy advanced through the each of his past partners bringing their end.

As more cupids were brought to their final breath by the boy's hand, spilling blood from the ones to tried to break his stand.

War and bloodshed continued until midnight; the boy fell on his knees for there was no more lights.

His hands on his head grew into claws, as he cried to sorrow into the sky.

With every love angel gone only himself was left, as his once pure blue eyes were reshaped into hearts of color red.

His once angelic white skin was became stained and darkened from the blood of his past peers, on his mouth formed sharp as blades fangs were there was only teeth.

His white angelic hair tinted to pink, his body reshaping and changing so there was no more him.

The boy was gone to never return, he had become the love in corporeal form.

It was now their duty to spread and guide love, no barriers, or norms no gender or forms.

And there where love was remade after being broken apart, is when they call the night of the broken hearts.
