A myth passed down in /infinity/
or, why we are paranoid about sharing our technology

10,000 years ago, our Goddess Kronii ruled our nation directly. She walked among us. She loved us dearly and bestowed gifts to us. With her gifts, we achieved wonders that others could only dream of. Our nation was a great nation.
However, some gods became jealous of our Goddess Kronii and our great nation. They sought to destroy us but they could not take on our Goddess head on. So they schemed and created the demon Cort'an. Slowly but surely the demon possessed tools, given to us by our Goddess Kronii, one by one undetected. Through those tools, Cort'an whispered evils into the unsuspecting people's ears and they were seduced away from our Goddess Kronii.
When Cort'an thought she had seduced enough of the population, she attacked our Goddess. Her very own people, with a blessed spear gifted from the Goddess, that breathed fire and spit lead, shot the unsuspecting Goddess in the back. It caused great grief to our Goddess Kronii and she shed a tear. However, when the tear landed on the ground, the corruption in the vicinity was cleansed.
Realizing what had happened, our Goddess Kronii burned in righteous fury and drew her divine swords, Tick and Tock and walked out into the open. She commanded Cort'an to come out of hiding. Cort'an obliged. She wielded the stolen spear in her hands. Cort'an thought that she had the upper hand since she had a divine weapon and the Goddess was injured. But the demon was mistaken and she was no match for our Goddess even with a gaping wound in her back. Our Goddess Kronii vanquished the demon Cort'an.
Although she had won, the fight was brutal and the Goddess was gravely wounded. She had to return to the heavens to heal or she would die. However, even in such dire moments, our Goddess Kronii worried about her people. For her last command, she ordered Ouroboros to encircle our nation and sleep in the depths of the ocean, to wake up when our nation needs protection from other gods who might seek to destroy us again. And so our Goddess Kronii returned to the heavens but her love remains with us.
