In the ancient kingdom of Atlantis, beneath the depths of the ocean, there lived a young girl named Ayose. Born into a world of endless blue, she was mesmerized by the beauty of the sun, whose golden rays danced upon the surface of the water like liquid fire.
Every night, as the stars shimmered above, Ayose felt a strange calling deep within her soul. It was as if the goddess Chaxiraxi herself, shining brightly as the star Canopus, was beckoning her to the surface, whispering of lands unknown and adventures waiting to be had.
Driven by an insatiable longing to experience life on land, Ayose made a daring decision. She renounced her powers as a daughter of Atlantis and chose to embrace her destiny as the first of the Guanches, the people of the land.
But such a choice came with a heavy price. As punishment for her defiance, Ayose and her people were condemned never to return to the ocean, forever severed from the world beneath the waves. Thus, the Guanches became the only island people without the skill to build boats, their fate sealed by their own desires.
Yet, in their time of need, the goddess Chaxiraxi did not abandon them. With her divine guidance, she gifted Ayose and her people with the Maxios, benevolent spirits and guardians who could take shaped of the island birds, green lizards or cactus flowers. These mystical creatures watched over the island, protecting it from outsiders and ensuring the safety of the Guanches.
To further shield her people from harm, Chaxiraxi surrounded the island with cacti, their prickly spines serving as a natural barrier against intruders.
But Ayose's story did not end there. For in her newfound life on land, she found love in the most unexpected of places. Drawn to the spirit of the volcano, whose fiery passion mirrored her own, she fell in love with its wild and untamed energy.
Their union gave birth to a child unlike any other, a beautiful baby with hair the color of lava and eyes as blue as the ocean itself. And as Ayose held her precious child in her arms, she knew that her journey from the depths of the ocean to the heights of the volcano had been worth every sacrifice.
For in embracing her destiny and following the call of her heart, she had become not just the first of the Guanches, but a symbol of courage, love, and the enduring power of the human spirit. And as she looked out upon the island she now called home, she knew that she had found her true place in the world, under the watchful gaze of the goddess Chaxiraxi and surrounded by the love of her people.
Legend says, that you still can see a spirit of Ayose, running around the island on the day of the summer solstice, from the summit of the volcano that rise proudly from the heart of the island, the setting sun could be seen twice, as if leaping between the two mountain peaks in a dazzling display of light and shadow.
