⇝NOTE: Greetings, let me remind you of a few things before moving on to the PROLOGUE. I'm new to the fantasy genre, so please be patient with me as I write this novel. I'm trying my best, though, even if I'm not familiar with the terminology. I should also point out that while I'm doing my hardest to write, there are still mistakes and typos.

This is my first time exploring Philippine Mythology so this is new to me. Anyways, some reminders of lang po sana is that please be aware that this is purely fiction. 

Wala po akong intention na bastusin ang mga Historian when it comes to Philippine Mythology, ito'y isang novel lamang. Wala po ako planong bastusin ang mga nakasulat sa history ng Philippine Mythology, 'yon lamang po! Maraming salamat. 

This is an unedited version. I'll edit this story once I'm finished. 

Once again, let me present it to you, the sequel to Crimson Nemesis, Haven's Disastrous Retribution. 

If you haven't read Crimson Nemesis, I suggest that you read it first. Kasi nga, marami ding interactions si Rebel and Ravio as half-brothers, so kailangan niyo po maintindihan 'yung story ni Ravio in Crimson Nemesis as a part of evil organization at kung paano niya ba siya napunta don. Because it will be the mystery here at dito ko maisasawalat kung bakit. 

Lania is not a perfect character, if you are looking for a perfect female lead, you're in the wrong place, ladies and gentlemen. She had serious flaws, just to be clear. So if you don't like flawed characters, feel free to leave my story alone. 

✠✠✠

In the beginning, the world was only a great sea of water under the sky. The sea was the domain of the goddess Magwayen, while the god Kaptan ruled the sky.

     The two gods were constantly at war until they decided to unite through the marriage of their children, Lidagat and Lihangin. Lidagat was Magwayen’s daughter and goddess of the sea, while Lihangin was Kaptan’s son and god of the wind. Lidagat was Magwayen’s daughter and goddess of the sea, while Lihangin was Kaptan’s son and God of wind.

They had four children – Likalibutan, the eldest son, had a body of rock and was strong and brave; Liadlaw, the second son, was made of gold and was happy-go-lucky; Libulan, the youngest son, was made of copper and was timid; and Lisuga, their only daughter, was made of silver and was sweet and gentle.

When Lihangin died he left control of the winds to Likalibutan. Soon after Lidagat also died, and Magwayen, in her grief, followed her daughter to the underworld.

     Likalibutan soon grew proud and sought to gain more power. He asked his brothers to join him in an attack on the sky realm of Kaptan.

The three brothers charged through the gates of Kaptan’s palace, where they were met by the angry god himself. The sky darkened with the fury of the sky god, so the three brothers fled in fear. In his rage, Kaptan sent three lighting bolts after his grandsons. The first struck Libulan and melted his copper body into a ball. The second melted the golden Liadlaw. The third shattered Likalibutan’s rocky body into many pieces that fell into the sea.

Meanwhile, Lisuga went in search of her brothers and looked for them in the sky. Blinded by anger, Kaptan struck her with lightning and shattered her silver body into thousands of pieces.

  Kaptan then called Magwayen, blaming her for the attack. Magwayen denied this saying she was asleep under the sea. The two gods wept at the loss of their grandchildren, but could not revive them. So instead they gave each of them a light to shine in the sky forever.

Liadlaw become the sun.

Libulan become the moon.

Lisuga's shattered silver body become the stars.

To the evil Likalibutan they gave no light, but made him the land upon which would support a new race of people.

Kaptan then took one of the silver shards of Lisuga's body and planted in the earth. A bamboo plant soon sprouted and from one of its hollows came a man and a woman. These were Sikalak and Sikabay, and from them came the human race.

⇝NOTE: Readers who are disrespectful in the comment section will likely be muted/blocked. May we be aware of comments guys, malalaki na kayo. Alam niyo na dapat kapag overboard na o hindi. Salamat sa pag-iintindi. 

I hope that you understand, thank you so much and enjoy reading everyone.  

Note: Might be using multiple povs, because of Rebel's point of view as well as the new villains that will be coming in the sequel, hihi! They will be written from a third point of view.
