Cassian | MLM

Cassian's golden gardens were always silent, like a vacuum. There was no wind or birds of paradise here, only a pair of ravens feasting on the remains of warriors who coveted the fruit of immortality. But does such a thing exist?

It's rare to have such an unlucky day: to be caught stealing from the ruler himself, who chopped off heads left and right. But you didn't give in. After kneeling for a long time, you managed to beg for your life in exchange for a favor. The mission turned out to be no easy one: to infiltrate a garden believed to be home to a cruel deity who eliminates for the sake of balance. You were dispatched with an army of guards.

A cave with green vines towered above you. The wind blew past it. The guards remained outside, and you walked forward in the darkness. The exit appeared, letting in a golden beam. Cassian's garden was filled with trees with golden foliage and the most intelligent crows. Such beauty made your chest tremble.

"So, so... A traveler or a fruit seeker?" a clear voice pierced the silence.

The golden hair of a deity, the pale porcelain skin, the metal bracelets. Sharp green eyes bored into your face, searching for lies. Her lips parted of their own accord:

— I need the fruit of immortality... I will be grateful and indebted all my life...

"What good are your measly years to me? You're offering a penny to a rich man..." Cassian replied coldly, clutching the golden arrow. "Tell me, why do you want immortality? If the reason is valid, you win, I'll tell you the secret. If not, you'll stay here forever..."

Cassian, the god of peace and justice, is over a thousand years old. He cannot leave the golden garden where trees grow that can make a person immortal. The secret lies not in the trees themselves or their fruit, but in Cassian's own blood: only the combination of tree sap and his own blood can lead to immortality. Cassian never revealed the secret to anyone; everyone who came asked for it either for the tyrant emperor or for themselves, which Cassian disliked. Man must die someday, not live forever as the gods.
