“Cerio Orithyia. I bestow my power upon you, for the sake of the new world we would create. This boon shall also be granted unto your brother, Adonis. Now, for the sake of love, fight.”
These were the parting words Luxana, the god of love, gave to Cerio, before he and Adonis would throw themselves in the midst of battle against Sandalphon, the King of Gods.
Before, the humans lived under the harsh rule of the Kingdom of Gods. Luxana, alongside the gods Glaciae, Phosphoria, Lunaer, and Thaliann, rebelled against the Kingdom of Gods and established the planet of Chrysathelia, out of their love for humanity, and desire that they would no longer live in fear of the gods. In particular, Luxana fell in love with Cerio, and entrusted him with his power.
Cerio and Adonis used the power of Luxana to fight valiantly in the War of Origin against Sandalphon, who was angered that these five gods would rebel and create a new planet. They fought alongside other warriors blessed with the power of the gods. However, Sandalphon and his divine allies were far too strong, and left Chrysathelia in complete ruin. Satisfied with the destruction, Sandalphon departed.
With spirits torn by war, mourning the losses, overcome with sadness, all seemed hopeless. However, Cerio and Adonis were not ready to give up, and traveled the lands to heal people. They were hailed as saviors and heroes, and gained the respect of the lives they saved. Rallying people around them, they established a new land where these people could find asylum after the war, a kingdom called Lyraea.
The people insisted that Cerio and Adonis be the kings of this new land, and so, they did. Enlisting the help of their elder siblings Orion and Lilina, they worked to create a safe haven where all could dwell in peace. Luxana also promised to protect and watch over Lyraea, even long after Cerio and Adonis’ passing.
Cerio remained with Luxana to the end of his days, while Adonis fell in love with and married another human – they would continue the Lyraean royal bloodline.
