====== II. The Mysterious Rosy Celestial Maiden ======

----

==== 2-1 ====
My friend,\\
Have you heard of the Rosy Celestial Maiden?

Whether in a corner of the archives,\\
Or in the depths of a cave,\\
You can always find legends about her.

She had hair like a rosy pink dawn,\\
And a smile that could thaw the most glacial ice.

Some say she was Nikador's nemesis,\\
{{ :readable:saga:mysterious.foreign.guest:march2-1.png?200|}}
While others say Mnestia was infatuated with her.

Oh, mysterious and beautiful celestial maiden,\\
How I wish to turn into a slate,\\
Forever etched with your tale.

==== 2-2 ====
Many claim to have seen that celestial maiden,\\
Either in the half-remembered dreams of early morning,\\
Or in the gossip and whispers after supper.

//<color #efe4B0>"She once whispered in my ear."\\
"She once saved my life."\\
"She gifted me an ice crystal!"</color>//

Her worshipers recite her deeds,\\
Even writing some into family teachings.

Curious poets ask up and down the land,\\
Only to find that the details of these encounters\\
Are difficult to recount even for the witnesses themselves.

In the entire holy city,\\
There are none who can provide proof of her existence.

==== 2-3 ====
It is not known since when\\
The celestial maiden was always mentioned together with Time.

People recite her name during prayer\\
To beg for miracles to appear faster.\\
It is said that even in the selection of priests of Time\\
Girls with pink hair are preferred.

//<color #efe4B0>"They still didn't pick me. Maybe I need to go dye my hair."</color>//\\
The brunette candidate was upset,\\
But the examiner responded with a smile:

//<color #efe4B0>"Don't forget. That healer of twilight,\\
Has a head of pink hair,\\
But she is a descendant of the Sky."</color>//

Scholars and poets discuss at length\\
The origins of the Rosy Celestial Maiden,\\
But all mothers tell the same tale...

That princess came from beyond the sky.\\
Her shooting star,\\
like crystal ice, pierced the fog of the Veil of Evernight.

She made friends with the Titan,\\
And whenever the <color #993333>Month of Evernight</color> descended,\\
They would meet again.

The children love that tale.\\
Therefore, as the moon turned and shifted phases,\\
The story became true.

But someone always questions, unable to read the air:

//<color #efe4B0>"There are no worlds beyond the sky,\\
So how can the Rosy Celestial Maiden come from there?"</color>//

----

==== 2-5 ====
//<color #efe4B0>"Rosy Celestial Maiden! A world beyond the sky!"</color>//

The reckless adventurer takes out the photostone,\\
Claiming it is the true work of the Rosy Celestial Maiden.

The citizens laugh at this tale\\
With few accepting it as true.

After all, long before the <color #993333>"guests beyond they sky"</color> arrived,\\
The legend of the Rosy Celestial Maiden had already covered the world.

So, my friend,\\
Have you really heard of the Rosy Celestial Maiden?
