## Story

**I.** Venus is much older than anyone can imagine, she was present on Antia even before the elves moved into White Mountain and Bahadore was constructed. Back then, she and her people explored the wilderness, flying through gales. The climate on Antia of the First Age was challenging, with deafening thunderstorms and tornadoes battering creatures and plants alike. The beefolk fought the elements until they changed the environment, leading to Antia's beautiful, hospitable land today.

**II.** To survive, the beefolk capitalized on their natural talent in temple construction and botany to improve their habitat and food supply. But the constant earthquakes and droughts of the First Age dealt them a heavy blow, severe enough to drive them to the brink of extinction. Fortunately, the reclusive druids chose to exit the woods and took the surviving beefolk into their village. The two races combined their efforts to make it through. Ever since then, the beefolk have had a pact with the druid always to help each other.

**III.** However, the pact was tested soon after it had been formed. The beefolk took pride in their environmental efforts and asked the druids to turn from their faith and worship beefolk gods. Naturally, the druids rejected the notion, which in turn infuriated the beefolk, whose chieftain then decided to conquer the druids. Venus was a scout in charge of her people's safety, and she had a crush on a handsome young druid boy, but the conflict between the two races got in the way. When Venus learned her people's intent to rage war with the druids, she tried to stop such a senseless act.

**IV.** After all her efforts, she could not dissuade the chieftain. The disappointed Venus didn't return to the beefolk temple or the druid shrine. Buoyed by love and courage, she journeyed through the wilderness and pleaded her case to the sky. She did so for seven days straight, enduring the scorching sun, hunger and thirst before finally succumbing. She woke up, and found herself standing in a cave, and a divine, authoritative voice ordered her to drink from a spring before her. She obeyed, and the spring turned into a waterfall, splashing all over her. "Behold my gift; you have been granted immortality," boomed the voice.

**V.** Thus, Venus became immortal, her carapace regenerating quickly from damage. She relayed the encounter to both sides,which believed it was a sign from the gods for them to coexist in peace. They chose to follow and attained true harmony. Venus relocated her people out of the druids' homeland and set up a new territory in the forest's heart to make sure of the situation. Soon after, Venus was hailed as the peacekeeper between the two races. Anyone who dares to cause rifts will face her wrath. Her only regret regarding immortality is that her crush, the young druid boy, is long gone.
