The Love Story of the Fire God

Of the gods in the heavens, only five carry the ultimate authority: Dragón de Hierro - metal god, ruler of the East; Satiro - god of the forest and beasts, ruler of the West; Dios del océano - god of the ocean, ruler of the South; león de Fuego - god of fire and lava, ruler of the North; Terremoto - god of earth and rock, ruling the center of the four directions and eight directions. They take turns controlling the sun and the moon.

They are the quintessence of heaven and earth because they carry within them the power of the five most important elements that make up the universe, heaven, and humanity. Of these 5 gods, the fire god Leon de Fuego is the strongest. He can both destroy an entire country and bring prosperity and wealth to that country. Not only that, but he can also turn suffering into happiness, and turn bad luck into luck, so this god is loved and worshiped the most by mankind. Temples of Leon de Fuego were established all over the human territory, and this made the other gods a little jealous. Any human wants to bring home the fire god so that it can bring them endless wealth, so they race to please. They wanted to be pampered by him, but there is a fact that few people know that although the fire god brings wealth and happiness to others, he is very lonely. No fairy or girl had ever made him fall in love for more than a thousand years. Although he is the god of fire, has his heart frozen for over a thousand years? He was waiting for a girl to come to him to melt the ice.

Each god can transform into any shape like a giant or an eagle, but they also have their true form and this form does not change over time. The true form of Leon de Fuego, with a crown on his head, golden armor, iron boots on his feet, a long sword in his hand, a dagger on his belt, and a piece of white jade. The god of fire has a face as beautiful as rubies, eyes as bright as a night star, lips as red as blood, and long black hair, all the quintessence of the universe is concentrated on him. He is the brightest star in the night sky.

Many gods in the heavens, including the gods, enjoy listening to his music. But Leon de Fuego rarely plays the piano, does not have a lover, even alone, and does not need to use the piano to express his feelings.

Heaven is the reason for life that mankind always longs for, and wants but cannot achieve. León de Fuego walked slowly through the mist, heaven was half a dream, half-real. The beautiful scenery of mountains, rivers, bamboo forests, bridges, and castles around is no longer the same as yesterday. However, no matter how it changes, it is still a boring picture, because it is just a picture in itself.

The thunder god Rey de Los Lobos was playing chess, saw the god of fire passing by, happily walked over, stroked his white beard, and said: "It's almost time, let's play a few games of chess!"

"We played chess together for a thousand years, don't you get bored?" The fire god replied, a smile always on his lips whether he was happy or sad.

"Even that is more fun than doing nothing for a thousand years!" Rey de Los Lobos stroked his beard and lamented: "I don't know why, the same god, your handsome face has not changed for a thousand years, and my old face has not changed for a thousand years."

"It's all to prove your identity, if you're happy, you'll instantly turn into a child."

"I don't want the gods in heaven to see that I have to use magic to distinguish my identity."

León de Fuego laughed and replied: "You always have a chessboard in your hand, no matter what you turn into, people will still guess who you are."

"So do you want to play chess with me?" Rey de Los Lobos said exasperatedly.

León de Fuego did not refuse, he had no reason to refuse someone else's request. He didn't eat, didn't drink, didn't sleep, didn't practice martial arts, go down to the earth to do good deeds, even the most difficult thing could only be solved in a few hours.

Any hobby such as playing the piano, playing chess, painting, and writing poetry was his favorite, but after living a thousand years in heaven, he no longer felt interested. So, for someone who is forever young like him, killing time is the only thing he can do.

After playing ten chess games, the thunder god Rey de Los Lobos stood up and patted his shoulder lamenting: "Actually, there are times when I want to know what it's like to be tired."

León de Fuego shook his head: "Leave heaven, come down to earth, meet people whose eyes show longing, then you will know what suffering is."

"It's getting dark, I have to rest too!" Rey de Los Lobos pointed a finger upwards, and the sky instantly turned to night.

"Why deceive yourself and deceive others, there are no days and nights in heaven?"

"That's because you like to know the truth."

Seeing Rey de Los Lobos walking in the dark and walking towards his castle, León de Fuego stood alone in the middle of the night.

Well, without darkness, what's the point of light? If there is no pain, why pursue happiness? If there is no evil, why promote good? He lives in a paradise with no darkness, no pain, no evil, so what else is there to do?

León de Fuego dejectedly returned to his castle, it was morning again, with no beautiful scenery, no long and wide corridors, no beautiful floors, and only one room. He likes this honesty, if he doesn't need anything, why own material possessions?

Several fairies hurried past León de Fuego's castle and caught his attention. This attraction was not because of the fairy's beauty, but because he had not seen a fairy in such a hurry for a long time.

He followed the fairies and saw many nymphs busy picking up the mud that had just been brought in, dividing it, and placing it neatly. The goddesses were carefully kneading the mud into various human figures, attaching the souls contained in the jars to the clay people, and then sending the molded people down from heaven to the human world.

León de Fuego curiously approached, politely, and asked: "What are the goddesses doing?"

A goddess replied: "Recently, the world has been in turmoil, the population is increasing rapidly, and the distribution is not enough, so God ordered us to create some more people."

León de Fuego looks at people molded from clay, whether male or female, all have flaws, faces are too big or too small, many people are very strange, and some people have pretty face but their body is too thin or too fat ...

"Why do people made of clay have such strange shapes?"

"Because we're not good with our hands, we have to mold too many people, so defects are inevitable." The goddess smiled.

"Then why not use magic?"

"In the past, this clay was molded by the queen, if she didn't use magic to turn this clay into a doll, we wouldn't be able to do it!"

León de Fuego nodded, silently watching them busy, watching each doll life brought into the world. Suddenly he felt this was a joy, he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"Can I play with you guys?" Leon de Fuego asked.

"If you want, of course, you can!" The goddesses gave him some clay to mold.

León de Fuego took it and put it down again: "The color of this soil is not very good, is there a whiter soil?"

"The quality of the land just now is like this, maybe next time it will be better."

Sure enough, not long after, another group of goddesses brought clay, he carefully selected the cleanest, whitest clay and began to meticulously knead it.

Just like that, he began to mold the clay day after day. A month passed, and León de Fuego was forced to remove the clay statue's face. Although all the goddesses felt sorry for that beautiful face, he still couldn't bear it, what he wanted was not only to be beautiful but also to be as gentle as water, captivating people's hearts. A year later, he once again removed the statue's face. Time and time again, he forgets time, forgets loneliness, in addition to listening to people's pleas and helping them, he only focuses on creating perfection.

He also thought about giving up, but just closed his eyes, a beautiful image appeared in his mind, that statue looked at him very passionately, as if to tell him: "You are the perfect beauty in the world."

Not knowing how much time had passed, a gentle and beautiful face finally appeared before his eyes. Her eyes are very clear, exuding tenderness, her face is as beautiful as a pink cloud, and her red lips are full of a charming smile but she doesn't know who she is smiling for. He gently touched her perfectly beautiful face, this was the face he needed!

Since then, no one has seen León de Fuego come out of his castle, nor can the Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos play chess with him. The goddesses also finished their work and left. Only León de Fuego perseveres with his work year after year. He molded the statue's hair very carefully so that each strand of her hair was of equal thickness and shine. He carefully designed the body of the statue, every curve perfectly represented by his ten fingers. He turned the white clouds into a long skirt for her, giving her the purest soul. In the end, a hundred years of hard work gave birth to a perfectly beautiful girl, a hundred years of waiting warmed León de Fuego's frozen heart, and his eyes were no longer lonely. She made him unusually gentle.

But in the end, she was just a statue, perfectly beautiful without a soul. He included the statue in one of his great castles, and only Rey de Los Lobos knew about it. "Why don't you ask the spirit goddess for the statue?" Seeing him cherish the lifeless statue like that, his close friend also curiously asked.

"There is no soul that can match the perfect goddess in my heart... Do you have a way to give her the purest soul?" Although he was talking to the Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos, León de Fuego's passionate gaze remained fixed on the statue. "I've heard that the blood and tears of the gods can create souls, but no god has ever done so." León de Fuego slashed his hand, no blood, no tears. In the end, he had to use magic to make the wound bleed and his eyes water a tear. He took blood and tears to make a heart and put it in the body of the statue. Unfortunately, he failed, she is still an earth statue, and her eyes are clear but still has no soul. "No other way?" León de Fuego still refused to accept defeat. "No, there's no other way, let's go play chess" "We'll play chess another day, I have to stay with her today." Seeing León de Fuego gently dress the statue in white, the Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos did not want to say anything more.

Just like that, every day, as long as there was time, León de Fuego played the piano for her and talked to her. He knew she had no soul, no life, but he still kept telling her stories hidden in his heart. "You know, I am white jade, the snow mountain gave birth to me, the sun and moon gave me my soul. Over millions of years, I gained a soul and life and eventually transformed into this body. When I saw all the changes in humanity, I determined to become a god to help them. After thousands of years of cultivation, I have undergone great changes and have finally become a god. At that time, I thought I would have extraordinary power, not only having a life without anxiety and suffering but also being able to change the miserable fate of humanity. But after becoming a powerful god, I realized I was wrong... People's fates are decided by them, gods have no right to change, and the only thing I can do is within the scope of your permission. Is to rescue them, and help them eliminate the demons and evil in their souls so that they have less guilt when they die and are reborn as a new person. As for me, look at my life, there is nothing but loneliness. God only summons me and the gods to heaven once a year. At the end of the ceremony, the god reported his merits, and when the music and singing stopped, they remembered the suffering of the world. I once hated, once failed... After living well for a thousand years in heaven, I finally got rid of all my discomfort, used to living a lonely life day in and day out like them."

Each time León de Fuego told her many different stories, some old stories, some confidants, and some happenings in the human world... How many people did he help each day, and how many lives did he save? All the things he told her. "Today, a girl committed suicide because of her lover, unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. That girl and her lover were a very beautiful couple. Unfortunately, less than two years after being married, the mother-in-law used the excuse of not being able to have children but forced her son to leave his wife. She did not want her husband to suffer before the two choices of love and filial piety, but because she wanted her husband to rest assured to take the exam, she told her mother-in-law so that she could be with her husband, in a few days when her husband took the exam, she would quietly leave. The girl's husband took the exam, and after leaving a will, she silently went to a deserted place and committed suicide. I wanted to save her, but she begged me to help her husband, let her husband pass the exam, realize his big dream, write his name in history, and live a happy life. That girl said, that even if she lived, she would only annoy her husband and make him worry. Better to be a ghost following him than to see the one you love suffer because of you. To fulfill that girl's wish, I helped her husband pass the exam so she could see him succeed in his career. I also changed her husband's life expectancy to 85 years, so that his name would go down in history. In your opinion, is it right or wrong? Fate has arranged for her to have many children, her mother-in-law hates her not because she can't bear children, this is just her mother-in-law's reason."

After telling this story, León de Fuego's eyes were no longer clear.

He continues to help people, but every time he asks himself, "What is happiness? After all, what do people want? "

In the nine worlds, no one can answer this difficult question, so how can a statue without a soul answer?

Years later, one day, when León de Fuego returned to heaven from the earth, he looked at her for a long time without saying anything. After a while, León de Fuego just looked at her without saying anything, his eyes revealing a pain that he hadn't seen in thousands of years. Suddenly, one day, after playing and meditating for a long time, León de Fuego said slowly: "What is love? After all, what made it so difficult to break out of love? "

León de Fuego approached the statue, gently stroked her hair, and said: "That man is dead, he is 85 years old. He was successful in his career and respected by everyone. I thought he would be very happy, but before he died, he learned that his only wish was to see his deceased wife again. If he is not happy in this life, is it his suffering to live so long? It's just a pity that you can't talk, if you can, can you tell me if I'm doing this right or wrong? What made him bring pain to death, despite everything, what made his wife give up her life but still want him to be happy... Why is that? At this point, León de Fuego burst into tears.

After that day, the number of times León de Fuego left heaven to enter the human world increased, the time he stayed in the human world was also long, but he spoke less and less. Love in the world makes him very sad. He often asked her: "Why don't you have a soul? Why can you only listen to me but never answer me?

He often stroked her cheek and hugged her to keep her warm. "I see men and women in the human world do the same, every time they are so intimate, their faces look so happy... Do you feel happy?"

Before long, another hundred years passed. That day, after hearing a human request, León de Fuego said to the statue: "I must descend into the human world. Was the last flower you gave me beautiful? How do you like it? You will be very sad when you are home alone, I brought a little bird to let it sing to you. Don't worry, I'll be back soon! "

León de Fuego had just left, and the Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos had entered his friend's castle. He looked at the statue's perfect beauty with a puzzled look, then lamented: "In the world of the Fire God León de Fuego, you are the first to become a real person, not an object transformed from a ghost. art. You have taken the soul of León de Fuego, if I let him be infatuated with you like that, one day he will go mad. The Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos lifted the statue high and then threw it down, while throwing he heard León de Fuego shouting, "Don't do that!" But the Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos was determined to say only one sentence: "Forgive me!", then he threw the statue into the human world. León de Fuego also plunges into the human world.

On the top of the Montana de Flores mountain, he found many pieces of debris. The magnificent beauty of the statue is gone, and the gentle eyes like water are also gone. Looking at the debris on the ground, warm water flowed from his eyes, it was his tears, one of his tears fell on the shard and disappeared immediately. The cold wind blew, sweeping away the debris from the ground. León de Fuego gave chase but could do nothing but watch helplessly as the debris was blown away by the wind.

He dejectedly returned to the palace, and since then no one has seen him smile again. Every day, in addition to descending the human world, he only looks toward the Montana de Flores mountain.

Finally, he understood what love is, understood why before he died, that man said a sentence: "Even if you live to be a hundred years old, what does it mean to live alone until you die?" After losing her, wasn't his life in heaven very painful?

Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos stood behind León de Fuego, he did not regret having destroyed his friend's statue. Time will change all that, and León de Fuego will forget about the statue. "Today is the Lord of the Gods' party. If we're late, he won't be happy." Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos patiently reminded. "Yeah." León de Fuego remained motionless. The Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos laughed: "This year a beautiful goddess is dancing at the party, the gods have all gone for the conspicuous position, if we don't go we will all be taken. "

"Prettier than her?" Leon de Fuego remained motionless. "At least that goddess has a soul."

Finally, the fire god León de Fuego comes to the Lord of the Gods' banquet. He found a place and sat down, sitting in front of a dragon-carved wine table, a table full of purple glasses of amber wine, a wine tray made of jade, filled with ripe peaches, León de Fuego He smiled and shook his head, lifting his cup and drinking it down. O gods in heaven! Have the gods seen human pain?

The gods talked and laughed together happily, and all forgot that in the human world, there was a fierce war, the people suffered, and there was no home.

Seeing that everyone was drunk, said the Lord of Gods: "Today, the goddess Palomas Blancas - who has just become a goddess, will dance for everyone to see." Just as the Lord of God finished speaking, a beautiful goddess, with a soft white dress, stood by the lake in front of the palace. The music played, and she started dancing to the music. That soft dance is wonderful, the daffodils blooming in the middle of the lake are not as pure and noble as her.

While she was twirling around in the dance, León de Fuego saw her perfect beauty. She is not only beautiful but also gentle like water, that personality is exactly like the statue that was thrown into the human world.

León de Fuego used magic to create his guitar. His ten fingers glided over the strings, the sound of the guitar sounded like the sounds of nature, echoing through the heavens, the dance of Palomas Blancas, and the sound of León de Fuego combined beautifully.

The music ended, and Palomas Blancas gently bowed. Is it real or virtual? Leon de Fuego couldn't tell the difference either. "This song is only available in heaven! It's been a long time since I haven't heard from you." Lord of Gods said surprised. "Lord of Gods, I am not good at drinking, can you allow me to rest?" León de Fuego stood up and asked politely. "Okay! Go home and rest." Lord Of The Gods nodded in agreement.

León de Fuego left the party and chased Palomas Blancas. When the captivating image reappeared in his field of vision, he hastily called out in a slightly strained voice: "Wait!" Palomas Blancas heard, but after pausing for a few seconds, she resumed walking. "Didn't you hear what I said? Can't you hear it forever?" The distant call of León de Fuego forced Palomas Blancas to stop. "Do you have any work?" She coldly asked back. "How do you think?" "I only take orders to dance for the gods to enjoy, please don't be like that." Hearing this answer, he was a bit surprised. "You don't remember me? I am Leon de Fuego." "I know, you are the Fire God León de Fuego, the gods in heaven respect you. But that doesn't mean you can do whatever you like." "Why are you like this, I am the one who created you, and gave you soul and life, you tell me like that?" León de Fuego gripped her shoulder tightly, his eyes filled with sorrow, but her face remained unchanged, as cold as ever.

Palomas Blancas swatted his hand away, took a step back, and said: "León de Fuego, the god of fire, I live in the human world, and it took a thousand years of training to become a goddess. I don't know what you're talking about." Then she turned to leave. León de Fuego once again gave chase, stood in front of her, and blocked her way, saying word for word: "My efforts, my waiting, my expectations are only exchanged for this coldness? "If you don't come back, I will tell the Lord of Gods! "

León de Fuego was surprised, and took a step back, was he wrong? Or is it all just an illusion?

He looked at her, suffering like thousands of ants gnawing at his own heart. For thousands of years, he had understood the loneliness and sadness in her eyes, but could she understand his expectations? Thousands of years ago, he created a unique beauty, he used his blood and tears to give her heart, but could not give her life. She could only stand still, unable to see, unable to speak. But she heard him talking to her, at first she didn't know what he was saying, gradually she understood, every word he said, she understood, but she had to use her heart to feel. He asked her what is love.

Did he ask her why loved someone to die and come back to life without regrets? She heard, and she wanted to tell him with all her heart: "Even if I am not that girl if there is a day like that, I will also sacrifice everything for your happiness". But he doesn't listen, he has ears so his heart can't hear her voice, his embrace warms her cold body, and she tells him with all her heart: "I'm happy too, though forever just a statue." As long as you stay with me forever, I will be satisfied. She also believes in him, as long as she stays by his side and listens to him, he will be satisfied. She thought that he and she would never be apart, but the last regret still had to leave him, she fell down the cliff, her body was broken by the wind, she knew she was going to die. Later she will not be able to be with him nor listen to his confidants. At that time, her only wish was what the Thunder God Rey de Los Lobos had said, her death was to save the best for him. While her world was deathly black, a pain emerged from her heart. Then one of his tears fell on her battered body. These tears made up the soul of her body, even as her body was already broken. She still tries to collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she wants to nurture her own life. Years passed, and she restored her beautiful body, only to retain the perfect image in his heart. Gradually, she heard the beat of her heart and saw the great beauty of the human world. She heard birds singing and smelled flowers. She wanted to meet him, really wanted to know what a handsome male god was like. No matter what face and shape he had, her love and nostalgia for him remained unchanged.

A hundred years later, she could move, but could only dance the wonderful dance in the vastness of the river. She sang away his favorite songs to express her longing for him. She searches for him in the human world but finds only statues of him that humanity worships. Then the only way to meet him is to train hard to one day become a goddess and go to heaven to meet him.

She returned to the Montana de Flores mountain to train hard, day or night, doing her best to do good for the human world. She believes that no matter how long it takes, she will come back to him. She understands the law of heaven and also knows that God does not allow people in heaven to have feelings for each other, she does not need to live with him forever, she just wants to silently look at him. Her hard work paid off, she met him again, and just like that she was very happy. She realizes his suffering and also feels very pain. He gave her his heart and soul, he gave her everything, and she was so moved and wanted to secretly love him with all the love in her heart. But she couldn't let him break the law of heaven for herself.

León de Fuego suddenly turned his head, looking into her shining eyes. "Why are you here?" Seeing her hurry to leave, he stopped her."The queen of the gods sent me to weave cloth for her." "Are you Palomas Blancas?" "Yes" "Are you afraid of me?" Seeing her avoid him, the hope in León de Fuego's eyes turned to disappointment. He thinks Palomas Blancas appeared near his castle because she remembered something, he even sensed her confusion as soon as their eyes met. "I hate you." León de Fuego tried to control himself so he wouldn't get angry. Despite Palomas Blancas' opposition, he drags her into his castle. Nothing in the castle had changed, but the place was both foreign and familiar to Palomas Blancas. She still thinks León de Fuego is the noblest god in heaven, the places that belong to León de Fuego will be as beautiful as a picture, as beautiful as a poem, as beautiful as a dream, today she knows León's castle de Fuego is just an empty, spacious space. León de Fuego let go of the hand that was gripping her and calmly said, "I just want you to stand here, and listen to me for a moment, how do you feel?" León de Fuego saw her nod, her deep gaze back on the Montana de Flores mountain. "The gods in heaven have great respect for me, mankind has always worshiped me, but I never knew what I needed. There was a time when I thought I was so lonely, I lived alone for an eternity until your presence changed everything for me. For a god, I do anything without much effort, but putting all my heart into something is a joy. When I look at the achievements that I have achieved after working hard, for the first time I feel happy, it is a happiness that has been sacrificed. I enjoy looking at you every day, enjoying the feeling of success when I create you. Even though you can't hear me, I still want to confide everything with you. I consider you to be my best friend, the only person who understands my innermost feelings and is also the only person who can last forever with me in the nine worlds. Gradually, I got used to your existence, every time I come down to the human world, I am afraid that you will be lonely, every time I see something that touches me, I share it with you, even meet things. If anything is interesting, I also bring it to you, but unfortunately, you don't have a life. If one day you can talk to me, and smile for me, then I'm willing to give up everything I have. I have searched all the ancient books of the nine worlds, and I have even silently prayed for you before the Lord of the Gods, wishing you to have a life, even if it is just an ordinary human's life. But unfortunately, thousands of years have passed, and you are still a statue. Even though my hope didn't have a chance to come true, I was already happy. As long as I have you by my side, as long as I see you every day, my life is already very happy. Unfortunately, even this wish I could not fulfill, even though I have lived for more than a thousand years, although I have the ultimate power of a god, standing in front of you - the only person I want to possess. I couldn't do anything but watch your body break into a thousand pieces."
