Many years ago in an unknown land, there lived a girl named Leah who was filled with compassion. She helped everyone in need. Everyone told her that she was very kind and that she has a perfect life. Leah would smile, but in her mind, she would always sigh say to herself, "If only you knew...". Leah lived in a small house at the very edge of town. You all must be wondering that why did she live at the edge of the town? Why not in the middle of town right? The thing was, that Leah had a deep, dark secret. Leah was in fact, Immortal.
You see, Leah wasn't always like this. She was once a happy girl, who lived with her parents. However, her happiness came to an end when she turned 20 years old. Leah's parents had made an encounter with the Goddess of Life and Death long before Leah was born. The Goddess had a few anger issues so she would get angry on the tiniest things. Leah's parents were once working for the Goddess.
They were going to bring juice for her on a very hot day, but they accidentally spilled the juice on the Goddess. This made her very angry. So, she cursed Leah's parents. She said that their firstborn child will be immortal. This made them very scared because they knew that how dangerous immortality could be. Thus, Leah became immortal. She is now 120 years old.
She is really sad because she can't meet her parents anymore. She goes to the forest every day in search of the Goddess to cure her but she always returns empty-handed. One day, she was in the forest searching, she saw an old woman. The old woman had a lot of bags and needed to get home.
Leah offered to help her. After they reached her house, the old woman suddenly turned into a beautiful fairy. She could feel that deep down Leah was in pain. She asked Leah about it and Leah told her the entire story. The fairy then told her that the Goddess was dead. She told Leah that she was here to find a replacement for her. She asked Leah if she would want to be the new Goddess. Leah gladly accepted. Leah became the greatest Goddess that the immortals and mortals ever saw. Leah still walks through the forest, and maybe if you look hard enough, you might find her.
THE END
