Blessed

The term **Blessed** refers to individuals who carry the graces of one of the Goddesses, therefore being "blessed" by them.

## About

Blessed are those who the Goddesses have bestowed upon Divine Providence, and as such, they are special. In the Mortal World, they are exalted because they have golden hair and blue eyes, a sign of the Goddesses' favor. Blessed were known for their faster growth, superior talent, and for having a claim to the throne of a nation. Luck and fortune was on their side and destiny smiled upon them.

This was the grace of a Goddess.

## Characteristics

Blessed were known as such because luck shone upon them and destiny smiled at them. No matter what, they would enjoy a fast growth and have equally great talent. Their luck and destiny was bestowed upon them by the Goddesses, and as such, even Demigods could not change it or they would incur a severe backlash.

Even in bad situations, luck would shine upon them, giving them the upper hand. Their deaths was hard to come so long as one remained a Blessed. In fact, Blessed could not be killed by members of the same species or they would incur divine punishment from the Goddesses. Only a Blessed could become a King or Queen of their respective nation; only they had a legitimate claim for the throne. Anyone else who wasn't a Blessed could never become a real ruler. It was why even usurping the throne was impossible for a non-Blessed and why no one rebelled.

At the same time, Blessed were limited. There were only so many Blessed that could exist at one point in time. When a new Blessed appeared, the old one would die. This was why when a Blessed had a child, it was likely for the parent to lose their blessing and for it to be inherited by their child. As a result, over time, the child would become a Blessed while the parent would lose their status. At any point in time, only 28 Blessed may exist. This is an absolute fact in history.

Each Goddess could only have 2 Blessed. Virtues could have a Supreme Daughter and Holy Daughter, with the former being superior than the latter. Sins could have a King and Prince or Queen and Princess, or any lesser combination they desired.

### Appearance

All Blessed, regardless of species, have blue eyes and golden hair. Only Blessed can have both; it represented the favor of a Goddess. The moment they lost the Blessing, their hair and eye color would once more return to what it was supposed to be. In the same manner, anyone who became a Blessed would gain such features automatically.

## Aftermath

All Blessed were bestowed with so much grace, but such a thing had a price. The more they used their luck, the faster they would die once they lost their status as a Blessed. This is because the more they enjoyed their blessings, the bigger the Storm of Probability which gathered around them would grow. In the end, the backlash of probability was death. This was why even in the cases of long-lived species like Elves, Angels, and Demons, there were no old generations of Kings or Queens alive. The only way to escape this destiny was to jump out of the board and become a player alongside the other Deities.
