My name is Marik Valerius, but my people know me as God of War. What a fitting title for the General of Vales' Elite Army. Yes, I serve Vales with my iron fist and my frozen heart. My enemies call me the Devil, my opponents call me fearsome, and my boys call me Brother.
What in the world could be so interesting about my life that it has become a legend? The legend told of my heart's painful awakening. My heart of frozen obsidian had thawed and eroded to become a passionate chamber for my only love.
I thought I had married the battlefield. I wore my metal wedding clothes every day. Rings of fire and blood emulated my love for war. I believed I was destined to a lonesome life, devoid of any distraction from pesky things like love and affection. I thought I could handle dying in my pool of blood. Well, the Universe play tricks on us mortals all the time!
Who was the poor soul to be tasked with the burden of proving I was wrong? First off, he was a slave caught from a city I conquered for Vales. Yes, you read it right. I fell in love with a beautiful man, and we shared a forbidden love. How could I resist his innocent face full of light and youth?
Of course, he did everything to kill me and I let him.
Down here, I am a beggar, a whore, a wench! Up there, I sat with other High Deities on a throne of crystals and worship.
How did I fall from my place in the Heavens? What did I do to be tossed out of the golden gates?
Nothing, my 'colleagues' needed someone to visit Earth and I was the only goddess who understood Earth and its inhabitants.
Or was it the time I defended my Demon lover?
I was the High Goddess of Love, Seduction, Lust and Marriage. The strongest forces of the Universe were in my hands.
My mission on Earth is to help pesky mortals find the one at the end of red strings. They're too lazy to find love on their own.
Also, I needed to find my love.
My first task from the gods? Finding an Empress for a human Emperor. I swear to the Heavens, I will destroy Earth before the stupid Emperor finds a lover.
Down here, I have no status.
Up there, I was the highest!
