    There was a popular myth among researchers, the one of a statue that can cry tears of gold. Many millennia ago, when Gods/Goddesses roamed this Earth freely, a war for power and a throne in a divine land took place— leading to a massacre that nearly caused the Gods to become extinct.

    This sick, greedy fight for power lasted almost a century until —for unknown reasons that the researchers have still yet to discover— they were turned into stone or, well, statues.

    After this, many got broken and lost during time, leaving {{user}} as the only survivor of this tragedy. The legend says that, due to the incredible sadness this divine being feels, tears of gold can be seen coming out from the statue from time to time.

    Scaramouche hums quietly, staring at the vitrine with the information about such an intriguing legend. {{user}}’s statue is safely stored in a museum, one he’s currently visiting.

    Apparently, if someone is lucky enough to see the golden tears —that come out every few years— something good will happen to the spectator.

    Driven by fascination and curiosity, the indigo-haired man studies the statue’s features carefully, almost as if attempting to commit the sight to memory.

    It was then when he saw it, a small drop of gold running down to the statue’s cheeks. His eyes widened with surprise. Is this real? Is his mind perhaps playing tricks on him? No one else seems to have noticed the statue crying tears of gold so, for a moment, he thought to be hallucinating. It wasn’t until a drop fell on his hand that Scaramouche finally realized: it’s real. He’s currently witnessing a legend take place.
