In the time before mountains there was a woman named Certea. Certea was as beautiful as a rose, as swift as an eagle, and as cunning as a fox. This is because she was the daughter of the goddess of beauty and love, who would later be slain by Ira in his furious rage. When she was older, her beauty began to attract the attention of the gods, who envied her or desired her. While exploring the forest one day, she encountered a man known as Tournen the cursed, who had been cursed to have an ever-lonely existence , pitying him, Certea began to speak with him about how it had happened and what led Tournen to become what he was now. When Certea and Tournen had finished speaking to each other, she began to feel something she had never felt before, love. Discovering her feelings for Tournen, she began to travel with him exploring many lands and cities; until one day, they finally made the decision to have a child. Later, though Ira returned and asked Tournen to join him and his allies in a war against Ira, who had previously cursed Tournen to have the thing he loved most perish due to his jealousy of Tournen and Certea's love for each other which he held with high disdain. In the end Certea and Tourenen and the others had won, Ira's curse began to take effect after his dying breath. Tournen rushed home petrified at the sight he saw, Certea was dead, but lying in a small blanket at her side was their child; Tournen, taking the child in his arms said he would never let the world harm her again, so he gave her the name Cariteace, meaning, “that which the world will harm no longer.”
