Okay, after one hundred years, I decided to update this project xD
Surely, adding Lithuanian folklore and mythology can be so much self-indulging, 'cos you put a little part of you into your writing ^^
*sigh* not sure whenever adding Lithuanian gods/goddess could work out in stories like this, tho.
A-anyway, this might be my personal headcanon about how Orochi was born and how did they are fond and adore Gaia, yet have the personality and high morals as the thunder god Perkūnas/Perkunas.
However, you can't get cancelled if you are not in this fandom xD So, it's nice to be a bystander/hermit writer~
(Besides, no one reads the author notes, so, I can speak with no complexes here)
Btw, if by some mistake the footnotes on this chapter are not working, I'll leave you some explanations now:
1)Gabija - Gabija is the Lithuanian goddess of fire and the protector of family and the family's fire-place.
2)Vėjas - Vėjas/Vejas is the Lithuanian god of the wind, the creator of the universe, who gave the breath of life to everything on earth.
3)Perkūnas - Perkūnas/Perkunas is the Lithuanian god of the thunder, the husband of earth goddess Žemyna/Zemyna. He is also the ruler of the atmosphere and nature.
4)Žemyna - Žemyna/Zemyna is the Lithuanian goddess of the earth. She is also known as the mother goddess, fertile earth and nourishes all life on earth, human, plant, and animal. All that is born of earth will return to earth, thus her cult is also related to death.
5)Vaidilutė - Vaidilutė/vaidilute also knows as vaidila, vaidilė/vaidila, are the priests/priestesses, prophets of the Baltic religion. Only the virgin maidens or widows can be vaidilutės.
6)Vėjūnė - is the Lithuanian female name, which means the ''wind's child''/''child of the wind''.

And always,
Enjoy!
Somewhere, in another place and time. After the early morning sunbeam reaches Goeniko’s face, she frowns and wrinkles her nose.
Yet, even while her eyes are closed, the blonde can sense that something is off, and brushing the wet grass with her hands is just the beginning.
Firstly, she is not feeling herself. But as a completely different person.
Secondly, the rough material rubs against her body without knowing who dressed her in these clothes.
After the blonde opens her eyes and checks by herself whether it was just a bad feeling or whenever her mind is playing tricks on her.
When Goeniko gets up, she looks around and notices that she is no longer in the world nor in the timeline, she knew.
However, she is sure about one thing. It wasn’t an ordinary forest after the refreshing rain. Even the atmosphere differs from the one in the living world.
The sacred and serene aura lingers in the air. Strangely, the wild animals and birds do not mind Goeniko and live as if she is not there.
While the blonde wanders in the forest filled with various songs of the birds, she searches for the one white snake and that mysterious man with fluffy silver hair.
After a while, she discovers the lake hidden by the tall trees.
When she gets to the shore, she kneels and observes the reflection in the water.
Goeniko notices that this woman looks almost like her, only a few years older than her. More so, she has green eyes, and her long hair is tied in a thick braid, which reaches below her ankles.
She also wears a long flax robe tied up with a Baltic-styled ornamented band, and on top of her head - a crown made from various flowers and herbs.
‘‘Just who, in the name of, am I? Why am I in this body?’’ Goeniko asks herself in disbelief.
However, the woman in the reflection remains silent and stares back at her with the same dumbfounded face.
Perhaps, that man tricked her and sent her to the netherworld. On the other hand, why would he do it? He does not seem to have bad intentions. Or so, the blonde wonders as she stands up.
For now, she needs to find anyone who will know what kind is this place and how to get back home.
Some time passes. After wandering in the endless forest, the blonde hears human voices and laughs in the distance.
When she gets close enough, she hides behind the old oak and glances at the people.
Fortunately, Goeniko is fast enough to cover her mouth from loudly gasping. There are four people, but they are not from this world. At least, this is what the blonde assumes.
One of them is a lively woman with sparkling eyes who wears a long crimson dress with long, loose sleeves and draped an orange shawl over her shoulders. She also has golden bracelets and a crown with red gems resembling the flame. Even her hair was made of fire.
The other person next to her doesn’t have a human head, and his entire body is covered in beautiful black and white feathers while his nape and back in gray, and the wings - are ebony. This winged man with the northern goshawk’s head wears a white silk tunic with golden borders, platinum cuffs, and a medallion with spiral ornaments resembling the wind waves.
Then, there is another couple in front of them. From the way how that woman closely leans against the wrathful man, the blonde can assume that they might be a married couple or lovers.
That woman with a mature, gentle, and loving mother’s face has dark brown hair, covered by a white, long scarf decorated with attached silver suns, moons, water droplets, leaves, and thunder symbols. Her long dress resembles the fertile soil with the young plants and blossom buds growing in the neat ornament.
Next to her, proudly stands a man with a wrathful and unpleasant face and rough, long hair and beard. He also has the goat’s horns, a golden crown, and a necklace with thunder, while he wears black and white clothes. He carries a large ax behind his back, and it looks like he could throw it at any moment.
Meanwhile, the blonde realizes it isn’t worth risking her life to learn more about these four entities. Unfortunately, it was already too late for her to run away.
Suddenly, the woman of the flames turns her head and playfully smirks in the same direction as Goeniko.
‘‘What are you so happy about, Gabija¹? Mind to share it with us?’’ The winged man addresses her.
As the goddess continues to glare at the hiding blonde, she replies in an innocent voice ‘‘I think you should know better, Vėjas¹ ~ There is a fifth guest among us. However, she is too shy to join us.’’.
The bearded man announces as he takes out his ax ‘‘There is a human walking in the sacred forest!? I won’t forgive this insolent woman! I will strike her with my thunder! No human shall escape their punishment!’’
However, his wife steps up and places her palm on his chest ‘‘Dear Perkūnas¹, do not dare to hurt this poor child. Perhaps, she doesn’t mean to disrespect us. That’s why let her talk first. Then, you can decide what is the best.’’.
The thunder god frowns and lowers the ax ‘‘Very well, Žemyna¹. However, no matter what reason that foolish human has, I do not allow leaving the forest as if nothing happened.’’.
Lastly, the earth goddess rests her head on her husband’s shoulder and closes her eyes ‘‘Thank you.’’.
Meanwhile, Vėjas waits and observes how the poor human, who trembles like a leaf, will act.
Finally, Gabija addresses Goeniko in a serious tone ‘‘Come out, girl. We already know that you were watching us. We won’t hurt you if you tell us why are you here.’’.
She has no other choice but to listen to the four gods. After shakily closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Goeniko reveals herself. No matter what the outcome awaits, she keeps her pride and accepts her fate.
‘‘What brought you here, dear vaidilutė¹?’’ Žemyna asks the humble blonde.
However, Goeniko dumbfounded stares at the goddess. She does not know what it could mean, nor what to say. Even if the blonde knows that the silence will only madden the divine deities, she refuses to say anything.
For sure, such behavior doesn’t satisfy Perkūnas, and he speaks in a strict voice ‘‘Are you deaf? Or are you mocking us, you foolish woman? Even if you served us well since your childhood, you have no right to walk in our forest! Vėjūnė the vaidilutė, speak the truth only! We know everything about you mortals. It’s pointless to hide anything from us.’’.
‘So, this is who am I in this world… But why? Why did a white snake put me into this body? What does he want to show me?’ Goeniko thinks to herself. Yet, she cannot wonder any longer.
After all, not only her but also the so-called Vėjūnė’s life is at stake. More importantly, the blonde cannot afford herself such luxury as fear and despair.
Even if she may perish, Goeniko decides to face it, having nothing to lose. She only has one chance to prove herself.
After the green-eyed woman kneels on one knee and bows, she politely answers as Vėjūnė ‘‘Please forgive me for intruding on your place. Not I’m here because I wanted to be.’’.
When Vėjūnė opens her eyes and lifts her head, she stares directly at the gods ‘‘I’m not here to beg for your mercy or kindness. However, I will not waste your time and tell you what I know. I recall nothing else after I woke up in this forest.’’.
Although, these words are the last drop of the thunder god’s patience. Without holding back his rage, Perkūnas scolds her while holding the lighting in his hand ‘‘Are aware in what position you? Know your place, maiden!’’.
Just before he launches the lighting strike, the flaming palms hold his wrist. As the wrathful god turns his head, he notices how Gabija grasps his wrist ‘‘Wait! I have a better idea. It might be even better than declaring your justice upon her. Can you listen to me?’’.
Perkūnas only raises an eyebrow ‘‘What are you suggesting?’’.
After releasing his wrist, the fire goddess replies ‘‘She doesn’t lie to us, Perkūnas. I can sense it. Either way, this vaidilutė cannot return to her world, and she may die soon. Be it by your hand or becoming the next sacrifice. However, I would consider keeping her alive.’’.
‘‘Why do you want to keep this human alive, Gabija?’’ The earth goddess calmly addresses her.
Gabija softens her gaze ‘‘It is hard for us to see upset and mourning when one of your precious creations dies before their time, Žemyna. However, you can change that by giving her another life. Besides, I know this woman will serve and support you, even when your child is born. She may be a wonderful mentor for the baby and teach about our world and the earth realm.’’.
However, Žemyna stares at Vėjūnė while doubting if this woman is capable of what Gabija claims. In the end, she addresses the eldest god ‘‘You were keeping your eyes on this woman all the time, Vėjas. Do you also have any plans for her?’’.
Meanwhile, the poor vaidilutė impatiently waits while her life depends on the hands of the gods.
Lastly, Vėjas responds ‘‘I can sense that there is something special about this woman. However, I need to test her first. Listen to my advice, Žemyna. Make this woman into your maid. I’m certain that you will not regret it.’’.
Then, he addresses Perkūnas ‘‘Perkūnas, I can see how you are against keeping this human alive. But, consider. You will keep an eye on her all you want. If she tries to run away or harms your wife or her child, you have full rights to do anything you want to her.’’.
As the thunder god rubs his chin, he makes his mind. When his ax hits the ground, he declares ‘‘Stand up, Vėjūnė the vaidilutė! Your fate has been decided, and your pitiful life depends on me. From now on, you are no longer the holy maiden nor the protector of nature. You’ve been blessed by serving the great goddess of earth - Žemyna! Disrespect or upset her once, and you will curse the day you were born.’’.
No matter how much Goeniko hates that someone else decides her fate or what she should do, she understands that she cannot refuse the gods’ will. More importantly, she has no choice but to live as Vėjūnė until she wakes up being herself again.
In the end, the green-eyed blonde swallows her pride and shows her gratitude toward the four divine deities.
A few years pass by, and Goeniko continues to live as Vėjūnė. She even got used to her new home, which became the sacred forest.
As she promised, she was taking care of Žemyna’s child from the first moment he was delivered to this world.
Vėjūnė loved this enormous eight-headed grass-snake as her child and wanted to protect it from any harm or evil of the human world. More so, the great snake is fond of his adoptive mother.
The blonde also patiently teaches this child about respecting and loving Gaia along with understanding that all living creatures and their environment are connected and dependent on the earth and its resources.
The blonde also mentions to him how easily can the balance between the inorganic world and the living creatures can be destroyed. Lastly, how the earth herself is a living organism that will fight back against the parasites who will harm her. Therefore, no human or another creature can live without Gaia’s kindness, but she can live without those who upset her.
However, very little Vėjūnė knows that each word or movement is followed by one goshawk.
Some time passes. The servant of Žemyna is busy getting the water from the nearest river that she doesn’t realize about the dark shadow watching over her.
Suddenly, the blowing wind into her back and the familiar voice make her widen her eyes ‘‘It’s been a while, Vėjūnė. Are you doing well?’’.
After the blonde stands up and turns around, she notices the god of wind and dumbfounded stares at him.
‘‘Do not fret. I came to visit you. However, you weren’t aware that I was testing you all this time, and I’m glad that my senses aren’t wrong.’’ Vejas calmly comments.
‘‘What are you talking about? All I do is accomplish my duties by serving the goddess and her son.’’ Vėjūnė replies in a serious tone.
Despite that, the winged man continues his proud speech ‘‘And you’ve done well, my dear child. Not only Žemyna is proud by having you by her side, but you have proven yourself to Perkūnas to be worthy.’’.
Vėjūnė raises an eyebrow and backfires in a doubtful tone ‘‘You didn’t come here just to tell me this and waste your precious time on a mere human, did you?’’.
Vėjas replies ‘‘You are correct, I did not come here empty-handed.’’.
After a brief pause, he continues ‘‘Humans do not live together with the sun, Vėjūnė. Unfortunately, I cannot grant you eternal life and let you stay by Žemyna’s child's side. No matter how he becomes fond of you. However, I need to keep your bloodline alive.’’.
Suddenly, the blonde falls on her knees like a rag-doll and was about to burst into tears.
Yet, as Vėjas gently ruffles her hair, he comforts her ‘‘I do not force you to marry me, nor become my lover, Vėjūnė. I cannot fall this low and betray my children or my wife. My dear, you shouldn’t be scared or ashamed because the goddess’s child will be by your side. All I want is for you and your descendants to continue serving and protecting Žemyna’s child for the generations to come. You may not have the godspeed as they do, nor you will wield my wind. But you will be known and respected as Vėjūnė, the proud and wise woman, who was beloved by the gods.’’.
In the end, the blonde lifts her head and wipes her tears. After taking a deep breath, she briefly answers ‘‘Alright, I understand. What should I do?’’.
‘‘Close your eyes and believe in me. I will give you the breath of the new life.’’ Vėjas explains.
After the wind god flaps his wings, Vėjūnė feels the soft breeze blowing toward her and how her body absorbs it.
Suddenly, Goeniko senses how the true host of the blonde’s body is waking up and rejecting her. Soon enough, the blue-eyed loses the fight against Vėjūnė, and she loses consciousness.
