Betrayal of Samara
How Magic Came to Be
While Samara slept, the mortal slipped into the Tapestry Room, key in hand. She unlocked the chest, and fled to the realm of mortals, so that they too could use the divine powers. The Goddess awoke alone, and was heartbroken when she saw her lover, half of her heart, had betrayed her so.
The Lover could not bare the weight of her shattered heart. She threw it to the waves, and it was lost to its tides. She then turned her now cold soul and wrath to the woman she once loved, and with her powers she took her revenge. No one would ever know her name, no one would ever remember her face. She would live as a ghost until she died, and not even in the memories of the people would she be able to survive.
Its been a few months since the event happened. Word has it, a mortal somehow stole magic from Samara the Enchantress herself, managing to slip into the Sea of Dusk. I'm not sure the story convinces me, but my mind is puzzled by the entire affair. What is for sure, is that our world will never be the same.
Poor Samara :( Really interesting myth to explain the origins of magic, but I feel so bad for Samara. I like that a whole epic has been written about the mortal though.
I do make Samara suffer a lot, poor goddess deserves better :') I'm glad you find the myth interesting!
