Hello :)
Atin ku pung singsing, metung yang timpukan
Ke amana iti, keng indung ibatan.
Sangkan keng sininup, king metung a kaban
Mewala ya iti, e ku kamalayan.
Ing sukal ning lub ku, susukdul king banwa
Pikurus kung gamat, babo ning lamesa.
Ninu mang manakit, king singsing kung mana
Kalulung pusu ku, manginu ya keya.

Thank you for reading I Once Had A Ring.
These are the last two pages of the original comic, and it will not continue from here. Due to personal life changes and subsequent research, I figured to revise the entire story (while keeping its biggest details). The original story feels too unclear, just a mishmash of ideas.
The comic will return sometime in the future, with a new format and URL. Once it begins, the original pages will be moved to a separate archive.
Also, no. Please do not redtag me over this. I just draw things. I'm not, I've never been. It's frustrating to have to even think about writing this disclaimer.

...in June and July of 1896 thick swarms of locusts completely ruined the rice fields, and farmers faced a future that was bleak indeed. They already groaned under the hard yoke of the friar hacenderos, who far from remitting even a part of ground rent in consideration of the low prices, the locust plague and the drought, steadily increased it; and so the peasants, driven to desperation, swelled the ranks of the revolution.

O Birheng Maria, daluyan ng kapayapaang nagbubuhat sa mapagmahal mong Anak: Papaghariin mo sa puso namin ang kanyang biyaya at maging sa aming bayan, nang kami ay makapamuhay ng may kapanatagan, ligtas sa mga alalahanin, karahasan at pagkakahati-hati; sa pamamagitan ng mapagkalingang mong Anak na si Hesukristong Panginoon namin. Amen
O, Virgin Mary, the fountain of peace brought by your loving Son, make His blessings reign upon our heart and also upon our land, so that we can live in peace, in tranquil from all dangers, violence and division, through your caring Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
- Prayer to the Virgin of Balintawak

¡Mga piling na irog kong kababayan, pakinggan niyo ako! ¿Nasaan baga ang taglay niyong lakas na umalimpungat sa akin? Palubog na ang araw at palapit muli ang mang-aapi. Idulot niyo at damayan akong nangangailangan ng bantay at kahabaan. Agawin ninyo ako sa kuko ng lilo. Ako ba ay inyong nakalimutan na?
My beloved countrymen, heed my call! Where come the strength that wakened me? The day is setting and the oppressors are coming to roost. Offer your strength to me in compassion, I in need of protection and longevity. Take me from the claws of traitors! Have you forgotten me?

The Lord of Creation was delighted at His new companion, and immediately They set out to work. The first realm Lady and the Lord laid their foundations upon was the domain of Hell, Impierno, as preparation for His plans. He was to make a dominion in which Holy Law was supreme.
She told the Flower: “I shall depart and finish my work on Impierno, so I ask you to guard closely my Ark of the Covenant. I forbid you to open it. Disobey, and I will banish you in My creation under mortal pain and mortal death. You shall remain so until you have returned what you unleashed.”
And thus he departed, making room for an infinite void for sinful Archangels.
The curious Flower desired to know more about Her creator. This itched her so much that she opened the a Ark of the Covenant in order to reveal His secret truth. From the Ark escaped three flying symbols (ב), fully-winged and resplendent with light. They were the miraculous and terrifying Three Virtues. BAM. BAV. BIM.
Flower, horrified with the magnitude of her actions, closed the Ark immediately. But it was too late: all three virtuea have escaped, far from her great visions. The Lord returned not long after, enraged.
“You know what I have promised, and I shall carry it through. Begone, bearer of sin! You shall be sullied to mortal flesh and feel the suffering of Creation.”

Before the Lord began shaping the world, He pondered deeply about having a companion to aid in its creation. Emerged thus from His head five shining letters that shimmered into the petals of a serene hibiscus flower. This flower was the Rosa Mundi, and the letters upon the petals spelled M-A-R-I-A.
Maria, the Exalted.
What sprang forth forbode the Lord so much that when the Lord created Her, she waa dubbed thus as “Flower”: She who sprouted from the depths of His bythos.
