One day, while she was picking shells on the beach, Vesevo and Sebeto appeared in front of her and began a terrible fight. Leucopetra got so frightened, she ran into the water and called for her father, Neptune, who turned her into the biggest and most beautiful sea stack. Sebeto, shattered by the pain, cried so desperately, he turned into a river, that mysteriously disappeared thousands of years after. Vesevo lost his mind. The fire of his love was turned into the fire of the Volcano.
