CHAPTER 1. Introducing: Asumi, Queen of Shiva

One sunny, blue-skied day, Asumi Queen of Shiva was born directly from a wave. Like a seashell washed ashore, her sweet Japanese eyes and Chinese fan emerged from the crest of a wave as only a Goddess of Good Taste could. And the world was blessed, because from Asumi's limitless and slime-free womb develops infinite love, compassion, and chuckles. Yes, her very womb chuckles.
Asumi Queen of Shiva lives in a chalet full of fountains. It is built into a mountain covered in trees so that no one knows exactly how many rooms, halls, and kitchens exis. The house constantly grows with trees and re-organizes with rockfalls and earthquakes. Every day at the lunch hour, all inhabitants pour into the largest kitchen. This kitchen sits on the very top of the mountain peak. The ceiling is a series of sky-lights, opening to allow the fresh breeze (Asumi Queen of Shiva is a hot-blooded Goddess. It is not rare to taste a bit of her rose-scented sweat in one of her delicious pumpkin pies.) This daily lunch of togetherness is a requirement for residency in the chalet.
Asumi Queen of Shiva's chalet/ mountain is mostly populated with young people. Her chalet is a peaceful place for all beings lost in the world. She loves taking them on treks down the beach, where they snack on sandwiches and clementines. Asumi Queen of Shiva finances her chalet by hosting lavish parties every Saturday night. All attendees are dance and shimmy beneath the fountains that adorn her great dance hall. Sometimes the mountain experiences little earthquakes during these parties, due to the laughter and stomping of fabulous shoes. Guests "pay" for these parties by offering to clean the chalet, cook food for her children, or give her golden coins adorned with the image of Emily Half-Woman Warrior.
Asumi's peculiar title (Queen of Shiva) is attributed to her magnificent beauty and ability to lovingly woo any human, God, or animal that passes her by. You see, Shiva and all other Hindu Gods believe themselves singular. Yet, the divine power of Skati is recognized in Hinduism as the female incentivization for all Godly activity. Without a Goddess to invoke Shakti, Gods are incapable of action. Despite her charm and beauty, Asumi Queen of Shiva is a Goddess FULL of Shakti.
Yet, Asumi Queen of Shiva is a love goddess after all. And she loves Captain Morgan Pepper. He lives with her in the mountain chalet and together they create magnificent adventures. Being the Goddess of Good Taste, Asumi Queen of Shiva chose Morgan Pepper because of his stunning good looks, classy demeanor, and intelligence. These things are obvious. But, Asumi Queen of Shiva must also evoke Captain Morgan Pepper's protection. Small devils haunt Asumi Queen of Shiva. In foreign lands, these small devils are often called mosquitoes. Despite her use of water and dance to hide from the small devils, the only real weapon Asumi Queen of Shiva has against them is the Scuba Mask of Pepper. Captain Morgan Pepper was gifted this magic Scuba Mask by his Great Grandfather, Pepe Pepper. When Captain Morgan Pepper puts the mask on, he has the power to vanquish all small devils from Asumi Queen of Shiva's path. Without the Captain's miraculous heritage, Asumi Queen of Shiva would become mad with devilish annoyance.
Asumi Queen of Shiva is loved by Laura Queen of Sirens, Sarah the Magical Fairy, and Emily Half-Woman Warrior.
