in Ecency Supportyesterday (edited)

Hello everyone
Welcome to ny blog

No one in the village had seen the stars for a hundred years—until the night Charlie disappeared. For all those years, no one knew who Charlie was. He was the son of Perseus, a god, which made him a demigod. Charlie had left his father's temple because of the love he had developed for mortals. It wasn't strange for him to feel this way, given that his mother was a mortal too. Each time he looked at mortals, he felt compassion, but his father, Perseus, never wanted him to interact with them.

Charlie's obsession with mortals grew stronger with each passing day. Eventually, it became an all-consuming passion, and he decided to leave the temple to live among mortals. Perseus was vehemently opposed to Charlie's decision, leading to a heated argument between them. Perseus warned Charlie that if he went down to the mortal world, he would lose his immortality and experience pain like any other mortal. Charlie, determined to follow his heart, chose to leave nonetheless.

As Charlie lived in the small village, he learned to navigate the challenges of mortal life. He discovered the meaning of pain and hardship, and his father, Perseus, the god of the stars, was displeased with his decision. In anger, Perseus made the stars vanish from the sky. Charlie took time to adjust to his new life, but eventually, he found his footing. The villagers grew to love and appreciate him, and Charlie became a hardworking and integral part of the community.

Years passed, and Charlie grew closer to the villagers. However, he hadn't spoken to his father in a long time, and the desire to reconnect with him grew stronger. One night, while everyone was asleep, Charlie set out on the long journey to his father's temple. When he finally arrived, Perseus was overjoyed to see his son after such a long time. Moved by their reunion, Perseus brought back the stars, and the long-separated family was finally able to resolve their differences.

Thanks for your time ☺️
