In the heart of the celestial realm, where stars twinkled and constellations danced across the velvety sky, there lived two sisters—Kaguya, the revered Mother of the Stars, and her older sister, Eva, the lioness shaman. But theirs was a story veiled in betrayal and rejection.
Eva was the product of a forbidden liaison between their father, a celestial being, and a concubine who strayed with a tiger during their sojourn to Earth. From the moment of her birth, Eva was marked as an outcast, shunned by her celestial kin for the sins of her lineage.
Despite the rejection, Eva found solace in her abilities. She possessed the power to guide spirits and the departed to their rightful place in the heavens. Her knowledge of herbs and healing made her a formidable shaman, revered by the spirits she tended to.
Only Kaguya saw beyond the stigma that clung to Eva. To her younger sister, Eva was a pillar of strength, a guiding light in the celestial realm. When Kaguya ascended to the prestigious title of Mother of the Stars, she bestowed upon Eva the honor of being the shaman and guide of the spirits.
With Kaguya's influence, Eva's reputation and power began to transcend the prejudices that once held her back. She became indispensable, for without her, the celestial cycle would falter, and the journey of souls to the heavens would be lost.
Yet, despite her newfound acclaim, Eva remained humble, her heart burdened by the weight of her past. She yearned for acceptance, not just from her sister, but from the celestial court that had long turned its back on her.
One fateful night, as the stars shimmered in the sky, an unexpected visitor approached Eva. It was a spirit—a soul lost between realms, unable to find its way to the celestial gates. With gentle grace, Eva guided the spirit, weaving through the astral currents until they reached the gates of heaven.
Witnessing Eva's compassion and wisdom, the celestial court could no longer deny her worth. Moved by her actions, they welcomed Eva into their midst, embracing her as one of their own.
And so, the lioness shaman found redemption in the heavens, her rejected past now a distant memory. With Kaguya by her side and the spirits she guided as her companions, Eva's journey had come full circle, proving that even the darkest of beginnings could lead to the brightest of destinies.
