The Tale of the Fallen immortal...
"A long time ago, back when the world was whole and a single continent ruled by the Divine judgment of the Gods.
A beautiful golden comet circled around the Earth. It's beauty more eye catching and irresistible than any God or goddess.
One day a King made of clay and magic called out to the comet. "Oh beautiful one who shines brighter than the Stars, may you come down?" But the comet refused to answer the king and went back to circling around the world.
Years later when the King was slightly older, he called out to the Stars and once more got the comets attention. "Old golden one who the lines even the gods with its beauty, may you please come down?" But the golden comet ignored him once more and proceeded to continue circling around the world.
Many years later when the King was old and bitter, he called to the heavens one more time. "You who circles around day and night with it's alluring beauty, please come down?"
Finally, the comet answered the Kings request and flew down from the heavens in front of the king.
But the king, consumed by greed and the beauty of the Divine comet, attacked the comet and stopped it from escaping into the heavens, "finally after so long, I have the comet! Now it's beauty is for I and I alone!" Fashioning chains out of the Stars and sky, the king forced to comet to stay by his side until the day when he would perish.
But the king, seeing how the comet never lost its eternal beauty, did not want to leave the comet... So he gave his blacksmiths an impossible task... "Fashion me a headdress that can withstand the wrath of the Gods, contain the Stars themselves and match the beauty of my golden comet..."
For many days and many nights, the blacksmiths worked tirelessly, endlessly crafting many different headdresses of many different varieties and shapes, but no headdress could fit all three categories.
One day the leader of the blacksmiths, enraged with the absurd difficulty of the task, back to the Gods for a metal that he could bend and shape, but they could not break... That night, a pair of spirits granted him 10 bars of a beautiful bronze steel.
The blacksmith went back to their forge and crafted a headdress of ornate design and not even the wrath of Gods themselves, disasters capable of destroying kingdoms, could destroy it...
But, through the blacksmiths dismay, the headdress could not contain the Stars... Seeing that the eldest blacksmith had already bargained with the Gods, the second eldest blacksmith went to the underworld and beckoned the demons for magic powerful enough to bind the Stars...
That night the second blacksmith dreamed of symbols of ornate and mysterious design.
The demons of his dreams then told the blacksmith to inscribe the symbols into whatever he wished to contain the Stars.
That morning, the blacksmith grabbed a beautiful chisel made of the same metal as the headdress and chiseled the symbols into the headdress.
But the final task still remained, no matter who they asked, the Gods, the demons or even the deceased, none of the blacksmiths could make the headdress as beautiful as the comet...
The youngest and the blacksmiths then had an idea, they went through the king and told him that the headdress would be finished, but it was so beautiful that no one good gaze at it, the blacksmith then told the king that the only way he could have the headdress, was if he tore out his eyes with his bare hands.
The king, believing the blacksmith ripped out his eyes with his bare hands and ordered for the headdress to be brought to him.
On the last day, the indestructible headdress was brought to the king, the king then called forth the comet locked In chains and forced the golden comet to touch the headdress.
The comet, unable to refuse, touched the headdress only to be sucked inside by a magical vortex.
Combined with the power of the comet, the king had gained resistance to age. Feeling invincible and undefeatable, the king led his kingdom against the gods themselves, saying that he and he alone was the only being powerful enough or worthy enough to ever wield the comet.
For his foolishness and greed, the gods waited until the King was asleep and laid ruin to his kingdom...
At least that's how the story goes... But I know that's somewhere out there is that headdress, and with it we will become the most powerful and most rich demons in the world"
The demon with the hooves of a goat said to his brother as he finished reading a stone tablet. "Hold on" said a demon with the head of a goat. "I think we finally found it!" She exclaimed with joy.
Lo and behold, after many months of journeying, the brothers finally found the remnants of the Old Kingdom...
Covered in dark disease and demonic magic strong enough to kill any human who walked near, remains of a ancient Temple could be seen...
The brothers made their way towards the temple and found an ancient throne made of bronze and copper, but the broken throne was so ancient, that the throne itself had become a jade green over time.
Sitting on throne was a rotting skeleton, covered in rotting bandages, which smelled like death.
Attached to the old skeleton was a gold and bronze headdress with a glowing Stone in the middle. But as one of the brothers went to take the headdress off the skeleton, the stone in the headdress gave a Golden Glow as the eye sockets of the skeleton burst golden flaming eyes.
"None, but I... Are....... Worthy..........." The skeletons voice said, it then slowly tried to get up, but all of its muscles had turned to dust over the years.
But before the brothers move to attack the skeleton, a Erie blue glow came from behind them as a man in a business suit with glowing blue eyes and a eerie smile, walked towards them. "Thank you for disabling the wards with your presence, I would never have been able to pass through if you haven't... But I'm afraid my lady requires that which this old sack of Bones has stolen from her." The man said ask you rushed over to the skeleton and pried off the headdress.
But before he could do anything else, the man was knocked back by an incredible Force as the headdress started to emanate with a Divine pressure. "So my lady was right, This old bag of bones really did have her~" he said as he covered his eyes to withstand the immense amount of pressure.
The stone entrapped in the middle of the headdress then vibrated rapidly as an impossibility happened... The headdress cracked apart.
And then instantly a golden light emanated from the crown and flew across the skies.
"Well that's mildly annoying..." Said the blue eyed man as events spoke to the 2 goat demons. "I'm sorry but it appears that your usefulness has run out..." The man then gave a wicked smile as he dashed towards the unprepared brothers...

Deep within the alleys of the city, the golden comet safely and softening crashlands without destroying anything other than a small part of the sidewalk...
Suddenly, the comet made of golden energy then starts to transform into a different four as a large golden light can be seen emanating from the alleyways, completely eviscerating any nearby shadows.
A voice then pierces through the blinding light. "Uuugh... Ow my back... Turns out spending an uncountable amount of eons inside of a crown really gives you back pain..." This voice was none other than the Mēili fēi huìxīng (I tried my best but according to the translations I used, this literally means beautiful flying comet, although if any of you know any Chinese, please explain what I got wrong, because I feel like I did) a forgotten celestial who lived far before the age of man...
Of course, at the moment, she was just really really really tired and really really really hungry.....
She tried to walk towards the nearest person to ask for food, however, due to how exhausted she was... Her Divine form starting to fade into a much more mortal one to save energy...
The immortal tried to reach any passerbys... But unfortunately she had fallen asleep on the sidewalk...

Huh? What's this? Is that girl unconscious in the middle of the sidewalk?! Don't worry buddy! I can nurse you back to health, "Mo! Next stop The boathouse!" I told my little buddy as scooped the unconscious person in my arms and ran towards the docks.
