Issa and The Cave

Once upon a time, there was a pretty goddess named Issa. She was a beautiful goddess, one that was praised by many. Her beauty and feats were many and transcend beyond the mortals. But she didnt feel that way. She felt inferior, as if she hated herself for being herself. And she would always hide in a cave in the afternoon, and come out only at night, where no one can see her. She was so troubled with herself, that she didnt know what to do, as she hid inside the cave and rolled the rock to block her path from the outside world.

But, one day, a villager came to the cave and sang a song. Issa was wondering what the commotion was about. When she heard a villager sing outside, she got scared, and she only blocked the sound by covering her ears. She was scared that someone had found where her comfort zone was and invade it.

And then another villager appeared. And then more and more people started to come until the entrance of the cave was full of people, as they started to dance and sing to make her get out of the cave and celebrate with them.

The goddess, confused, slightly got out and looked outside. The people were celebrating outside. A person then said that they found a more pretty goddess than Issa. Issa was curious so she went out the cave by rolling out the rock. She peeked out the dark hole and asked the citizens who the goddess was. The person she was talking to pulled out a mirror, meaning that she was prettier than the rest, even herself. And so, she went out of the cave and she saw the citizens celebrate. She didnt know it, because she didnt have time to get to know the citizens, but they all loved her, and they both praised and loved her. All the citizens and their goddess celebrated throughout the night in glee as they danced all day.

Issa was happy, as she was not being praised. But she was loved instead.
