Description
Celestra, Goddess of Beauty, aspires to leave her home
of Siyr, the god-realm, to travel the cosmos and create a new world of her own.
But her dreams cannot be fulfilled unless she is one of the seven chosen to
undergo a trial put forth by the Genesis Spirit—a trial in which she alone must
nourish a Genesis Seed with tears from her heart.
Tydus, God of Chaos, is renowned and adored by many in Siyr, but his heart has
always yearned for only one—Celestra. Unlike most Siyran goddesses, Celestra is
unyielding and determined, but Tydus’s attempts to win her heart go unnoticed
as she keeps her attention focused on her trial.
This fanciful tale of romance and determination tells the story of two lovers
who strive for happiness and realize how much they need one another.
Advance Praise
"For a short story, Tears of the
Goddess is remarkably cute. The romance is somewhat sugary and cliched, but
it's not annoying in any way. It's an adorable read that I breezed by without
any difficulty at all. The world building is really impressive, it's not the usual
thing so that really took me by surprise. I had a clear image of how everything
would look like and I loved it! The writing was smooth and poetic, super easy
to get through but not easy enough to bore.
The main character, Celestra, is preoccupied on getting the blessing of her
King and passing the test the Genesis Tree will give her so she can go away and
make her own world. But she won't be able to do any of these things alone. This
is where Tydus comes in. He's been watching Celestra from afar, loving her from
afar. Unfortunately, he's infamous for loving other goddesses as well. Somehow
these two fall in love.
But there are others out there trying to hold Celestra back from her dream.
Like the Queen (dun, dun, duuuuun)
Together, Celestra and Tydus will fight to be together. They will fight for the
chance to build their own world.
Will this get them their happy ending? Or a tragic one?
I really liked this short story. It's fairy-tale-like. Dream-inducing. Just
like a Disney princess movie, except for an older audience. It's sugary sweet
and easily likable.
I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a short love story that will make
them smile for the rest of the day. :)"
