A pragmatic fantasy

​A God’s tale that is yet to be told in the Yoniverse galaxy.

A tale, definitely older than the time known to the Yonians but nevertheless, one that is ought to be told and shared. A tale wherein you are definitely in for a ride to the trip of the galaxy.

He, who is one of the Gods that created this world to experience and witness peace, serenity and tranquility but only to find poverty, greed and destruction. Where immorality and inhumanity is born and prospered. Yes, he, one of the Yonian Gods who first took a step and blessed the Yoniverse galaxy with his presence. The Yonian God, the constellation named Algol, nicknamed the Prodótis.

Avira Priam. A name, THE name.
 * Algol- The constellation that represents the head of Medusa. It’s associated with pain, suffering, violence, difficult and emotionally intense experiences, beheadings, accidents to the head, losing one's head mentally and has been historically linked with murderous acts, disastrous events, and anything horrific.

The first hero and the first Yonian to undergo not only disgrace but worse, ignominy. It is no foreign fact that she was once the inkling of hope after the first Yonian war and yet at the end, she concluded her reign otherwise to the eyes of the Yonians. A once legendary and respected hero, now a red dwarf star. The lowest of the low and yet, still thriving as one of the stars that shines so brightly which is why it is no surprise that it attracted envy and ignited greed within the heart of not only many but especially in just one being.

The Yonian God Algol “Prodótis” was entrusted to punish Yonians who committed heinous crimes and horrendous acts by Ýpsistos, the creator of all beings, holding the highest title. The constellation God, Algol is in charge of sentencing those who did atrocious actions and giving them the judgement that they deem to deserve to get. The first ever constellation to be banished from his title and be dethroned from the life he has only ever known. Yes, the Yonian God that was later nicknamed as Prodótis meaning traitor. The God that was severely punished for a sin he wasn’t even aware of doing or maybe he knew but still had the audacity to deny it because of his ego and stubbornness.

Every being on the Yoniverse galaxy has a role they must fulfill, whether they are a God that must finish the task Ýpsistos gave them or just Yonians living to find and accomplish their purpose in life. Avira Priam also had a purpose and the symbolization of it was when she became a hero, it may have or haven’t been what Ýpsistos decided for her but we will never know since the God is never ignorant, they just pretend to be one. This also include Algol and as mentioned, his purpose was to give the correct punishments to criminals.

Yet at just a small distraction, he wavered. Suddenly and unexpectedly, he became disconnected and was often found to be out of his trance. And yes, the root of it all as he blindly believes so is Avira Priam. This is because he felt such immense disappointment and even betrayal that the hero he once respected became just a star, and not just a star but the lowest kind of all.

He came to the point that he loathed her and thus the Yonian God, the constellation Algol became the punished and not the punisher due to his misbehavior and abuse of his power. He received a punishment that was unlike any other. He was kicked out of his position as a Yonian God and became a nameless constellation. Existing but never known anymore. Existing but never having a purpose anymore.

But what he missed out was that the highest God, Ýpsistos didn’t simply just dethrone him because of his unjustified actions towards the Yonians but because all along, ever since Avira Priam became a hero, he already harbored such ill intentions. He just hid all his subtle wickedness behind a façade, the perfect disguise and that is his identity as the God who has the right to punish the Yonians for their crimes.

He failed to see that his way of handling things was the reason why he was banished and it wasn’t Avira Priam all along. Algol Prodótis is a hypocrite. Algol claims to want peace and order but is a hypocrite since he’s the one who started and harbored evil and deviousness that was passed on to the people on the first war that birthed the hero and star, Avira Priam. He was the root of it all. He was the one who planted the seed that caused evil to blossom.

Avira Priam was never the villain and the reason but what lies truly in his heart is that she is a threat, a boundary that he must never cross because he hated how she was able to free herself. He hated how she was able to conquer her traumas. He hated how she was able to redeem herself. He hated her knowing that he could never be like her.

And thus, Algol the Yonian God became the constellation to be nicknamed as “Prodótis” meaning traitor. This is because he betrayed not only Ýpsistos who gave him life, the rightful way to give justice to the Yonians but also he betrayed himself the most for keeping away his true desire and therefore betraying his self.

Deep down, he knew. He knew that the cause of it all was that he was envious of Avira Priam for being able to find bliss happiness even being just a lowly star and there he was, a God but never experiencing ecstasy and freedom. Deep down, I knew. Yes, I know because I am Algol “Prodótis”.

Avira Priam will always be remembered as the first hero who fell down. The hero who received the judgement of being a red dwarf star. Nevertheless, still a star that shines and glimmers so brightly in the Yoniverse galaxy. But in my eyes, Avira Priam is an inspiration. An inspiration who truly taught someone how to break free from their chains. Avira Priam is a motivation to do what someone really want. Avira Priam truly is a hero and she will always be one.

Avira Priam, the first yonian hero who gave me hope and realizations. Avira Priam is the hero, the Yonian and the star that will always be my pragmatic fantasy. A pragmatic fantasy since even though I am now just a lowly and nameless constellation, I was able to hold on my dream and fantasy of being my own version of freedom. ​ Every villain truly has a story and this story that I shared to you is mine. I was the Yonian God Algol but now just existing and living as a nameless and unknown constellation nicknamed “Prodótis”.
