Sango, the god of thunder, stood atop the highest peak of the divine realm, gazing out at the vast expanse of the mortal world below. His piercing eyes, like flashes of lightning, scanned the landscape, ever vigilant for any sign of danger or disobedience. His powerful physique, chiseled from the very essence of the storm, seemed carved from the granite of the mountain itself. The wind whipped his flowing white robes into a frenzy, like a tempest unleashed.
Yet, beneath his imposing exterior, Sango concealed a secret. A secret that would shake the foundations of the gods’ realm and challenge the very fabric of his existence. For Sango, the god of thunder, had fallen deeply in love with a mortal woman named Oya.
Oya, a beautiful and fiery priestess from the distant land of Ife, had been brought to the divine realm as an offering to the gods. Her striking features and unyielding spirit had captivated Sango, and he found himself drawn to her again and again, like a storm drawn to the earth.
Their forbidden encounters, stolen moments of passion and tenderness, had become the very essence of Sango’s existence. He lived for the whispers of Oya’s name on the wind, the flash of her smile in the lightning’s glow, and the gentle touch of her hand on his divine skin.
But their love was a secret, hidden from the prying eyes of the other gods and goddesses. For in the divine realm, the gods were not meant to love mortals. It was a taboo, a transgression that would not be tolerated.
And so, Sango’s heart thundered with a secret, a secret that would soon shatter the very foundations of his world.
