Libidine's Curse

Tales of Madness

Libidine's Curse

Cindico Lovelock  

There once was a young girl with a skill like no else. Much like me, she was the daughter of a pumpkin lord, but her mother was Vatis. Her skill was soon known by many in Terrah and many became jealous. One fell in love.

The boy just so happened to be the son of Libidine, and when he proclaimed his love the young girl turned him down. As many of us ladies know, men hate rejection and so he prayed to his mother that she would do something for him.

She appeared before him and held him in her arms. "I will take care of this." She said, wiping the tears from his face.

The young girl was fast asleep when Libidine visited her in Videres domain. As soon as Libidine revealed herself, The girl feared what wrath would be inflicted upon her.

"I curse you to a life longing, to the end of your days you will feel empty as those you wish you could love will never be."

The young girl woke with a start and shivers down her spine. She wondered if the dream was true, as she didn't feel any different. She decided she wouldn't worry about it, and try to rest peacefully for the rest of the night.

One day she was invited to perform in front of the king of Ephvosia. (For those who don't know the history of the four kingdoms this was the name of them before they broke apart.) All those who listened to her sang understood why so many wanted to have her around day and night.

The king made her a deal only one could dream of and she had no choice but to accept. She was to live in the castle, be treated as a royal but she had to perform whenever she was asked by the king or queen.

She thanked him graciously and accepted his offer. As time marched on the king's son took a great liking to her. He continuously tried to make advances towards her, of many she wished to reciprocate but couldn't because of Libidines curse.

More time passed and years of empty love made the young girl hollow and cold. One day she decided she couldn't take her silence anymore and told the prince why she couldn't love him. He stayed silent for a long time before he finally left without saying a word.

the girl tried to follow him but something held her back. She knew even if the prince loved her she could never love him back and she understood what Libidines son felt. Unlike him though she couldn't just ask her mother to curse another person. instead, she locked herself in her room and created songs, poems, and stories. She used her emptiness to create happiness and love for others.

The last thing she did was write a letter to the prince before taking her own life. Though no one knows exactly what it said, and no one knows where the note resides. The young girl was buried in her hometown and many have claimed to hear her sweet voice echoing throughout the graveyard late at night.

Many of her songs are still sung today, and many have taken her story for inspiration without knowing it, until now.
