250 Year's Ago (Timeline of Rijie's great-great grandfather)
Rijie's Father P.O.V
In the past, before our ancestors decide to transfer to the Virgin Island that is now called as Osaca Mountain, they live million miles away from the lights of the city. They are originally a tribesmen. A limited group of people that consist only the bloodline. And a devoter, worshiper and believer of 'Sama', the Great God of Creations. Each year, they offered rituals, sacrifices and offerings. They tend to believe that 'Sama' is the one who blessed them with fortune and protection. Living in peace and harmony. Every drop of the rain, every shine of the sun, they thank 'Sama' for granting them a new day and long life. And every season they held festivals to remind them that 'Sama' loved his people.
But one unfortunate night, things happened in a blink of the eye. The brim of their happiness didn't last long.
Father told me, that before he was born, the tribe they used to live was invaded by an atrocious animal. Wild, ferocious and dominant. That animal is like a form of a wingless dragon. The tribe was in chaos. People was drown dreadfully.
As the atrocious animal destroying their home, consuming their families, my ancestors was left in the tribal house, gathering everything that can be carried away. Running, scaping and fleeing is the only choice they think of. They cannot defeat such monster. They didn't know it's weakness. They didn't prepare to fight. They were hopeless. Even the elderlies that keeps of praying to 'Sama' the God of Creations, asking for his protection was swallowed into the pit of the monster.
At that time, when there's no glimpse of hope and they were about to let the Destiny took their life, a miracle happened.
My ancestors who was about to scape was blocked by the atrocious animal. Fear, terror and dread covered the eyes of them. They thought that if dying is the only choice left for them, then even if they will die in fear, they shall accept their fate.
As they closed their eyes, waiting for them to be eaten, they still pray with all their might that if there's someone or something that will help them, they will pay them all their lives. And it wasn't long, as they saw a beast larger than the atrocious animal. Fighting each other. From claws, teeth and it's roaring sound, the beast manage to kill the atrocious animal. It stands above the body of it as it devoured it's meat, eating every flesh.
And before it leave, the beast looked at them with the eyes brighter than the moon.
The night was long, but the time was short. Only a few members of the tribe left. Most of them are children that was immediately evacuated into a safe place away from the monster's view. They decide to left the place afraid that the same thing might happened. As they carry on to their journey looking for another place to live, the brought back the glory and gratitude to the one that saves them.
Until now, my ancestors believes that one day the beast that saves them from the death door or as they name it 'Sebaceous' will once again return to protect them.
'Sebaceous'- the legendary beast that was worshiped by the villagers among all the Gods that exist, still, it's tale was passed down from generation to generation. As they continue living, giving their best to meet it again, even if it takes a million years, they shall wait. And if 'Sebaceous' asked their lives as payment for saving them, they will gladly give up their lives for their only savoir.
This believes was pass down to us as not to forget the legacy of 'Sebaceous' and to the upcoming generations.
